THEY LEARN BY EXPERIENCE
Data Collected by German Naturalist
Show That Animals Often Become
Wiser Than Their Parents.

A German naturalist has been col
lecting data to show that animals learn
by experience, and thus. in some in
stances, become wiser than their I'M
instructed parents.
Game animals Of all kinds, it APP
pears. have learned the range OF mod
EN- rifles. Greyhounds quickly learn
to let rabbits alone, and foxhounds
pay no attention to either rabbits or
hares. Killer whales and gulls follow
whaling vessels. just as vultures fol-
low an army. Crows begin TO accom-
pany the chamois hunter as soon as
they have seen the result OF his first
successful shot, and roughlegged buzz
yards follow the sportsmen after
winged game.
The number of birds that kill or in
jure themselves by flying against tele-
graph wires is much smaller than it
used to be- The fact is also brought
out that birds and quadrupeds have
learned TO disregard passing railway
trains. as horses quickly cease to be
frightened by automobiles. Instances
of the intelligent selection exercised
by sheep dogs are familiar to all.

water was never used on fields from which it was expected to harvest seed. Therefore such fields were not irrl- gated unless clear water was avail able.
 But this season the farmers are find ing that muddy water gives the ground less moisture than clear and is there fore excellently suited to seed grow ing The knowledge has become pret- ty generally disseminated among them and the valleys will produce a second crop far in excess of that of last year. All the conditions are excellent for a heavy production of fine quality, but the acreage devoted to this purpose is somewhat smaller than last spring. on the other hand, prices promise to be better.
 The first crop produced 100000 pounds of seed, which brought the farmers an average price of 1874 cents per pounds. It began at 12M cents and rose to IA cents. where it is at present

HIGHEST PRICE YET
 FOR BUCKEYE LAND
Eighty Acres Mostly in Alfalfa, Sells
 for St35 Per Acre.

All price records for Buckeye valley lands were recently smashed when A C. Wood bought of Charles Barkley
 the west half of MT. Barkley's 16O-acre alfalfa ranch mile west of Buckeye, for $135 per acre.
 News of the deal was brought to Phoenix by C. M. Zander of the Valley Realty company, who returned Wed
 nesday from visit to Buckeye. MT. Zander says that a higher price has been refused for land in that section but no sale has yet been actually made
 at larger figure.
 For year previous Mir Wood had rented MT. Barkley's west eighty acres
 and he knew just what the land would produce. This fact is a high testi- 1 monial of the productivity of Buckeye land Not quite all of the eighty is in alfalfa and when the deal went | through there was no hay or seed standing on the place. Neither is the ranch improved with a house. Mir
 Wood bought eighty acres of alfalfa land, most of it with good stand of that forage plant, and nothing more Some time ago R. H. Campbell, an other Buckeye farmer, refused $50 per
 acre for his eighty-acre place, all in alfalfa and improved with a good house. Considering the improvements
 on the two places, MT. Barkley really received a better price than MT. Camp bell refused.
 During his stay in the Buckeye dis tTict MT. Zander heard of several oth CT deals. Jesse Lafferty has bought frcm J. F. olson d forty acre tract near the new Liberty school house, paying $1OO per acre. Soon after he
 took charge MT. Lafferty harvested
 6,2OO pounds of alfalfa seed which
 brought him 14h cents a pounds and
 netted him, after all expenses had been
 paid, $500. The second crop now com
 ing on, will net him $500 mora In less
 than half a year he will have cleared
 enough to pay for one-fourth of his farm.
 Frank Watkins has sold his home
 place of eighty acres, adjoining the old
 Liberty school house on the west, to Peter Van Lear This is school land
 and sold for s35 an acre.
 Before buying the Watkins farm, MT. Van Lear sold his home known as the George Marshall place, to Foreman
 Adrian of the Liberty Threshing com
 pany. for S100 an acre. Only a small
 part is in alfalfa.
 The Buckeye alfalfa seed growers have made valuable discovery this
 season, says MT. Zander. This discov
 cry is that muddy water is far better
 than clear water for the production of alfalfa seed, and the result will be that
 the second crop will be almost as heavy
 according to acreage as the first.
 It has always been supposed that
 muddy water would not do at all for
 seed growing. It was thought that it
 would make the stalks grow and cause
 the seed pods not to fill out as they do when the stalks are small. Muddy

LONG DISTANCE PHONE
 LINE 10 THE COAST
Overland Company Will Shortly Put
 Three Construction Crews in the Field.

To defray the expense of construct ing a new long distance line from Wickenburg, Arizona, to CaleXico, Cali fornia. there to connect with the Unit cd states Long Distance Telephone company's system, the overland Tele- phone company's directorate has ap- propriated S4O,O0O. In less than six weeks three crews of men will be placed in the field. one at each end of the new line and the other at Par ker
 The new line is to be from 25O to 275 miles long, about 100 miles being in Arizona. It will run straight from Wickenburg to Parker, there cross tn Colorado, run through the Blythe es- tate, and on across the desert to the Imperial valley. The United States company is to have line pIralleling the Spreckels road from San Diego to Yuma.
 At the time the Home Telephone company of Phoenix was consolidated with the Overland, a right of-way for this line was secured from the Nation al Telephone company The Overland directors have been planning to con struct the line, giving Phoenix and Oth- CT towns direct communication with the coast, ever since that time, but the press of construction work in this ter ritory has prevented them making a start. They are now ready to put men in the field as soon as cooler weather sets in.
 From Wickcnburk to Parker the line is to have four circuits. From Parker on it will have only two circuits. Four arc considered necessary on the Ari- zona side to take care of local busi- ness in the A X C. country. General Manager w. H. Thompson of the overland is now in the city. He reports rapid progress by his ccnstruc- ton crews in the northern part of the territory.
