Hence the saying that an acre of tops is equal to a ton of alfalfa. Tops fed in these tests were d and either hauled and fed in dry lot or pastured during good weather by lambs that were also being fed grain and alfalfa hay. influClimatic conditions should ence the methods used in harvesting tops. If the fall is open and fairly well-cure- free from moisture and if fall plowing is not in practice, then the tops may be gathered and cured in small piles through the field and may be pastured or hauled and fed in dry lot as desired. The small piles avoid scattering and trampling and reduce the leaching of feed nutrients. They also make it possible to find the tops when covered with snow. If it is desired o remove the tops immediately they may be piled in small piles adjacent to the feed yards or else stacked with thin layers of straw near the feed lot. There are several methods used in feeding tops to fattening lambs. 1 Tops are pastured late into the fall by all lambs. The lambs then being penned up and finished on grain, supplements and alfalfa. 2 In the fall the heavy fleshy lambs are sorted out and are fattened off on the beet tops alone while the lighter lambs are fed from the start in dry lot. The heavies may or may not be corralled at night and fed alfalfa hay and grain. With fairly good weather they will finish out without losing their bloom. 3 Tops are pastured during the day by all the lambs, and the lambs are corralled at night and fed grain and hay in the morning and night. 4 Tops are hauled and scattered on clean straw in a yard adjacent to the dry lot, and the lambs are turned in for a period each day to clean them up. It is usually a poor ' policy to feed straight tops through panels to lambs. They pull them through and trample and waste a large number. If scattered out in a dry, clean yard, preferably of straw, the lambs will clean them up without difficulty. 5 When tops aje stacked with straw, they are generally built into a long compost 8 to 12 feed wide and 8 to 12 feet high, with 6 to layers of tops and a layer of loose straw.

The Goodyear operations at Litchfield, Tremaine, Mesa, and many others, are well established in the fattening of beef and this feature of the- industry is bound to grow. Baby beef is popular through the state and the demand for quality product established through baby beef activities extending over a period of several years, has proven a boon to the breeders of the southwest and those who have improved their herds of good bulls are in the most favorable position today. I heard much favorable comment on the purebred bulls bought at last years stock show and the leaders will be back again this year stronger than ever. Arizona supplies most of the stocker and feeder cattle from California ranges but instead of aged steers the demand is now for younger cattle, thus relieving the cowman of the cost of carrying the bullock to a three or As a result of the change in production methods the turnover and liquidation period is shorter, the range is put to more profitable use, cost of production is materially decreased, and better prices realized bv supplying a more popular product. The greatest stimulus to better breeding is the annual livestock show, dedicated to the improvement of the flocks and herds of the west and southwest. The rounding out of this show from a comparatively small affair six years ago to a major event has been made possible within that comparatively short time by the d cooperation of the livestock growers.
