Reos Knot.

Frank D. Hammon in Arizona Gasstfs.
 The best authorities on tree culture agree that what is termed ''rsot knot" in fruit trees is caused by sudden checking of the flow of sap, usually by reason of some severe change in the weather, which acts upon the tender young tree much like severe cold on a person, closing the pores in the leaves and stopping natural evaporation.
 The action of the root not yet being affected the supply Of sap continues until the accumulation bursts the out side covering and forms porous, can cerous growth, usually near the crown of the root, and just below the ground. This is what is termed root knot. and every nurseryman especially on the Pacific coast where trees make so rank growth and are. therefore, the more susceptible to any severe change in the weather has had more or less experience with it. Good, healthy trees are often attacked after being transplanted from the nursery. Root knotn is not at all contagoius, as has been proved time and again. and no authority on horticulture considers it SO.

He will have thus made all Improvements re- duired by law to enable his wife to make the FIRST annual" proof in the desert land entry, and he can again be one of her witnesses at the land office in making snch proof, and it should be made as long BEFORE the end of the year as possible, to avoid any accidental delay near the end of the year from the date of entry, since the annual proof must be made inside the year. Any intelligent man can see the rest of the way, repeating each yeara a proof of further improvementsto the amount of Sl.O0p per acre, and year by year in- creasing the pumping plant by more power and more pumps, and even a new well or wells, situated so as to give best results till SHE can show one eighth of the entire entry in cultiya- tion, and power and pumps torun wa ter to supply each legal subdivision 40 acres.

But on the other hand if the claimant has 'more time than money" and wishes to earn money, ion the land or by work ing elsewhere) he need only make im- provements on the land to the amount ONE dollar per acre, and furnish proof fy testimony of two, witnesses) each year for the first, second and third years, BEFORE the end of each year from date of entry. At the proof for the third year he must submit plat or sketch of the land showing actual Improvements made, and he must get water to lrrigate all the land, or as much as he can, before or during the fourth year, and make final proof" and pay sl.0O per acre to the govern ment..
 By comparison it readily appears that title to desert land" is more costly by way of desert land entry" than by simple homestead entry" and that the desert land law gives at the most four years to make title, and  requires an annual proof of improve ments to the amount of Sl.00 per acre. and a final proof of water supply and irrigation: while the homestead law re- qulres only one proof either for cash communication lat sl.25 per aere after fourteen months) or for ultimate FREE title after five years and before the expiration of seven years.
 TAXES SAVED.
 Neither case requires any payment of taxes on the land or improvements till actual title has been acquired, taxes on personal property being the only ones to pay while getting title to the land) for the government owns the land until it parts with it's title to the settlers. This freedom from taxes Is important since the value of land be comes great with water for irrigation. and taxes are a cash expense. 4 lets ter from the Interior Department at Washington is my authority for the above statement,
