Phoenix, Ariz.-The constitutional
convention Of Arizona adjourned al
ter being in session 81 days, and
finally adopting a constitution, deslg
mated by the majority members as the
most progressive ever framed, and by
the minority as the most socialistic.
One Republican only, John Lang

and he was given an ovation which
lasted several minutes when he did
SO. One Democrat. Ellinwood, OF
Bisbee. declined to sign, explaining
on the final roll call that he voted
with the opposition because he be-
lieved the recall as applied to the ju-
dietary would destroy the independ-
ence of the courts of the state and
invite the disapproval of President
Taft.
Among the progressive provisions
of the document are: Initiative and
referendum. the recall of all elective
officers. direct primaries and direct
advisory primary for United States

was slated for that honor.
In the last two or three days, how.
ever, 1t became known that a change
in the head of the Supreme Court
slate might be made.
Some of the Presidents closest ad-
visers argued with him that Justice
Hughes experience at the bar had
not been sufficient to warrant his pro-
motion at this time to the highest
judicial position in the country.
Justice White has been on the Su-
the Oldest jurist in commission whose
age Is less than 20.

many years.

will find you in the full enjoy

1t appears that we struck Color
ado during the coolest winter in
more than decade, according to
the government records. am
prepared to believe it, since we
had peach trees that were more
than ten years old and that last
summer appeared in a healthy con.
dltion trees that succumbed to
the rigor of the winter. Many
peach trees in the lower part of
the valley, which includes much
of the territory west of Grand
Junction, died as result of the
severity of the weather. Young
apple trees were injured to some
extent, but the matured apple tree
and the matured pear tree with
stood the onslaught of the ele-
ments.
Not only was our first winter
in the state the coolest in years.
but the spring opened up the
warmest, followed by the hottest
summer, and the dryest summer.

inhabitant. Of course, it doesn't
rain much in Colorado, particular
ly western Colorado, but such a
thing as going all summer with
but a single shower is unpreced-
ented. We have had but one rain
since the snow went away in Feb
ruary, and that occurred just after
we had finished spraying our Or
chard, and consequently undid, in
measure, e work we had just
completed. We spray here for a
codling moth. There are three
crops of them a year. 1t takes
forty-two days for an egg to pass
thru the various stages 30 as to
reproduce itself. First it's an
egg, then tiny worm 30 small as
to be almost indistinguishable to
the naked eye; then it grows into

three-quarters of an inch long;
then it goes into retirement and

| l am informed that crops are
light in the northern part of
South Dakota. am sorry to hear
it. But South Dakota is not alone
as a sufferer. Even here the fruit
crop is lighter than it was last
year, owing to two causes: the
severity of the winter, which in
juriousiy affected p. ach buds IN
many parts of the state, and the
spring frosts. which damaged
what the rigors of the winter left
untouched Still. l don't know
that we should complain. While
the spring frost damaged fruit
buds on our ranch herd to the
extent of possibly thousand to
twenty-five hundred dollars, we
have a fair crop still in process of
development. We have about fiji
teen acres of bearing fruit trees
of commercial variety-possibly
seventeen acres-and they will
Eprobably bring returns to the ex
tent of several thousand dollars,
gross, assuming fruit prices to
range about as last year. VI.
