New Grains of Hardy
 Merits

Speltz and emmer are really two distinct grains, and differ practically as much as the pear differs from the apple. Emmer is a German name, and we have no English equivalent. Speltz is a plant of similar appearance, but quite different. Both emmer and speltz are grown in Russia, and it is from Russia that emmer has been introduced into the great plains region. stretching from the Canada line to the Gulf of Mexico west of the 98th mer- idian, where the annual rain fall is only from 15 to 20 inches.
 Emmer is really a species of wheat, with heads almost always bearded, very compact, and much fattened on the o-ridged sides. It is a hardy plant, resists drouth and rust. and is recommended by Prof. Carleton in Farm and Home as a valuable grain in the dry sections. It is in fact a grain for the semi-arid region, but often compares well with other crops in the more humid sections because it stands up well, is com paratively rust, smut and fungus proof, and drouth resistant.
 It is probably the least exact ing of all the grains so far as cul- tivation is concerned. It should always be drilled, at about the same rate per acre as oats and as early as possible, as it will stand a good degree of spring frost.
 The yield is usually from 20 to 40 bushels per acre, altho as high as 63 have been obtained. Its average yield probably does not differ much from that of oats, and it is preferable where oats are liable to rust or lodge. Its feeding value is probably less than either oats or barley.

Irrigation Work
 For NavajO's

Superintendent H. F. Robin son, of the irrigation section of the Indian service. returned yesterday from visit of several weeks in the Navajo and Hopi country. He reported consider able progress being made on the plan for opening new sections to grazing, which the service is working out.
 We have four rigs in the field" he said. ''Three of them drilling for shallow wells along the most fertile valleys of the Navajo and Hopi country. Most of these valleys have good graz ing in them. but they are to, far from water for sheep to travel regularly. We are drilling wells about every five to eight miles in these valleys, thus opening to use for grazing a great stretch of country which was never grazed before. A windmill is put up at each well, and a pump, with a stone concrete tank and watering trough.
 Once a week each mill is visit ed by man who sees that it is in working order"
 The fourth rig, Mr. Robinson said, was putting down a deep well at Keams Canyon. This we'll is down already $50 feet, and has been in shale after the first seventy odd feet. It is ex- pected that water will be struck when the shale is passed. possi- ly artesian water. Albuquerque Journal.

POSTAL BANK
 BOND ISSUE

Postmaster General Frank Hitchcock has caused a cir cular to issue containing informa- tion concerning postal saving bonds to be available July 1st.
 By applying on or before June 1, 1912, depositors of the Postal Savings System may exchange the whole or part of their de- posits for United States register ed or coupon bonds in denomin- ations $2O, $1OO and $500. bearing interest from July 1, 1912, at the rate of 9 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually, and re- deemable at the pleasure of the United States after one year from the date of issue, both principal and interest payable 20 years from that date in United States gold coin.
 Postal savings bonds are exempt from all taxes or duties of the United States, as we'll as from taxation in any form by or under State. municipal of local author ity.
 Applications for the eonver- sionofdeposits into bonds on July 1, 1912. must be received on or before June 1, 1912. by the post master at the depository office where the certificates were issu- ed. The postmaster will supply an application form, which must be made out in triplicate. The depositor must indorse and sur render with his application postal savings certificates covering the amount of the bonds desired, for which tbe postmaster will give him a receipt. When the
 
 postmaster receives the bonds applied for wiIIn0trfy the depos- itor and will deliver the bonds on presentation of the receipt for the certificates surrendered.
 The government is likely to be a heavy winner because of the forfeiture of interest nnder the ruling which requires deposits to be left for year before they he- gin drawing interest.
 Statistics so far available show that large majority perhaps three quarters of the depositors use the postal savings bank as a matter of convenience and do not leave their funds intact long enough to profit by the interest feature, while others prefer to patronize savings banks which pay higher rate on monthly balances.
 However, the postal savings bank is a success. and just as it's promoters intimated would be the case is resulting in keeping a large amount of money in this country which would otherwise find its way back to the old coun- try for investment or saving. The system is constantly being extended and will eventually embrace every office where there is any demand for it.

 MT. Marty, Indian trader from the Navajo reservation, has been in town for a few days. and incidentally did piece of good detective work. It seems that some time ago, Mir. Marty sent to the Arizona Coop a large blanket to ship for him. He sent the blanket by good trusty Indian, but somehow the Indian got off on the wrong foot, and when MT. Marty called to see about the blanket, the store people had no knowledge of ever receiving such blanket from any one. and there was nothing to do but hunt 1t up. We understand that later on the blanket was discovered at MT. Wooster's store, the Indian having sold the blanket to him. The Indian is surely getting civilized.
