CoRNsTALK REACHES AL0FT
Golden Tassels of Corn Forest Makes
 Sea at High Tide.

| Dropping in disgust because 1t was unable to stretch itself to full height, cornstalk stood uncomfortably on the floor of the board of trade rooms yes terday. The distance from the floor to | the ceiling is just twenty feet, but the majestic stalk of maize was forced to droop its tassel in forlorn silence and await the elevation of the ceiling or | the depression of the floor before spreading it's limbs and arraying itself proudly before the agrastologists of this valley.
 Well" calculated a man from that famous corn state of Illinois, as he surveyed the colossal cornstalk with unfeigned wonder II came from a country where they produce some corn, but l never saw anything to equal that. l thought you couldn't grow corn in this territory"
 Another man looking on in amaze ment announced that he too was from | Illinois and, in fact, he came from the southern part, away down in Johnson county, where an account of the ovsr- whelming production of corn. the sec ton is called Egypt" He too thought the like growth of the corn would be regarded as abnormal in his coun- 1 try, and he characterized ths plant as the biggest piece of corn flesh he had ever witnessed.
 The plant in the eyes of most people might be called a freak, but to those | few persons who know of the possi biiitics of Indian maize culture in the corn belts of central Arizona, the lux uriant growth is not singular, for al- though few know it, there is no other known part of the United States where thl stalks attain as great growth. A ! forest of corn twenty feet above which rests a sea of waving golden tassels, is the source of the stalk on exhibition at the board of trade. The stalk is not a specimen but sample. The fields of ! giant stalks ieprt sents an acre of ground planted to corn on the Spears l ranch near Mcdowell. D. F. Kelly, as- sstant superintendent of the Pho nix i insane asylum, who was driving out by McDowell believes he has actually wit messed the phenomenon of corn growing 1 inch by inch. He watched the stalks shoot up several inches, and felling one fibrous stalk, brought 1t into Phoenix where it has been placed on exhibition. He regrets that he did not chop 1t down while several inches shorter. as then it could have been accommodated better l in the board of trade room.
 This stalk of corn gigantus answers eloquentl in the affirmative the query frequently heard here: Can you raise corn?' In the most pronounced adobe soil, where baking and cracking of the surface appears, alfalfa and sorghum flourish, but the seed of Indian corn b. cones engulfed in trouble. In soil of sand and loam, which is found in some parts of this valley, especially near the river and in the northern portions, as well as in many more dis tant points in Arizona. Indian corn thIives.

NEW CABINET OFFICERS.

Now that the presidential election has
been decided, the most important ques-
ton is the selection of trustworthy men
for the cabinet, and we hope the
changes made will prove beneficial to
the country's interests. In private life
the people are also making many
changes. For instance, in regard to their
health. When their stomaehs become
weak, their nerves unstrung. and dys-
pepsia, indigestion, nervousness and
sieeplessness result, they try this and
that medicine without getting relief.
What they need is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the only sure cure for these
ailments. and after giving it fair
trial, they will be convinced that this
is the medicine they have been looking
for. If you are among these sufferers
and want to get well, try it at once.
