Has No One to
Make His Heir.

FlelQS is ABOUT DO years OF age ana
alone in the world, with no relative on
whom to bestow his wealth
The race for the 100000 fortune
started yesterday in Birmingham, when
Nichols was notified at the jefferson
hotel that Fields was searching for him
with a certified check for this sum- The
blind man had just left the hotel
short time before, and was said to be
on his way to Atlanta Nichols imme-
diately took the trail Auantaward.
The aged blind mans generous feel
ing dates back to last November, when
he visited the little town of Linevile
and stopped for several days at the
Lineville hotel, which was operated by
Nichols The afflictiCn of the aged
man and his apparent helplessness
touched the hearts of the Nichols fam
lily, consisting of the hotel man, his
wife and little girl, and every possible
attention and kindness was shown him
The little golden haired girl was par
tcularly fond of the old man. and
romped and played with him almost
constantly. She grew to love him. and.
in her childish way. never let an op-
portunity pass to amuse and make him
happy
And then when the blind man left the
hotel Nichols crowned his hospftabie
treatment OF the blind man by refusing
to accept pay for his board thinking at
that time that he was but a poor Old
man, with no money and no friends
Inc b!lnd man. however, declined TO
accept the hotel mans generosity and
forced him to take pay.
TO people in the little town the blind
man commented on the kindness Of
Nichols and of his own fondness for
the little girl remarking that Nichols
was one of the finest and best men with
whom he had ever come in contact
The old man left the little town and
the incident passed. Nichols thought
no more Of it and heard no more of his
blind friend until he was informed i'm
birmingham of the $4,000 check and of
the search for him by the blind man.

FARNING
SALT RIVER VALLEY
IS GROWING FAST
Roosevelt Dam Has Done
Wonders in That Sec
ton of Arizona.

Phoenix, Ariz.. Oct. 3.-With an am
pie supply of water for irrigating pur-
poses, the great Salt River valley is so
rapidly being converted from the old
lime Saharalike desert with its dread
ed heat into well titled farms support
Ing thousands Of contented men, wom-
en- and children IN happy, well appoint
ed homes, that IL almost Staggers be-
lief Not many of the dreamers in the
years agone dared to dream of this
great conversion
It is believed that there are nearly if
not fully 100000 acres under cuItiva-
ton this year in the Salt River valley,
and that the value of the crop will ap-
prOXimate $1,000 900 and that 1913 will
see 100000 acres cultivated and irri-
gated, producing crops approximatin-
IN value $500, 600 to $4,000, 0OO
So Tar as the valley is concerned it
has but begun to be developed. It is
purposed to pump water on the bench
lands along the foothills by means Of
electrically driven pumps, the electric
ity to be generated by water from the
dam as 1t comes down through the can
purposes Of irrigation Already some
10000 horsepower is being developed in
a power plant at the dam itself and
this horsepower can be greatly in
creased by the expenditure of compar-
atively little more money.
That Phoenix is one of the brilliant
" lighted cities in the southwest, COM
pairing favorably with San Diego or
Los Angeles, is due to the fact that she
has the advantage of the cheap current
generated at Roosevelt, brought in over
one of the most elaborate transmission
lines. in the country. Phoenix also
uses current generated at the dam to
drive the pumps for the six wells from
which it draws its municipal water
supply.

HEAVY RAIN AND

Gun Club Is Organized and Club Build

Resubmitted to Voters.


Hayden, Ariz.. Oct. 3.-A heavy rain
and wind storm visited this vicinity
and some damage was the result I'm
mediately after the rain had fallen, a
cold wind commenced blowing, prob
ably a forerunner for cool weather
For the purpose Of organizing a gun
club among the local enthusiasts of
the sport, about 20 of the local sports
men met in the Mill 6Ormitory, and a
few talks were given by some of the
prospective members. Jack backward

the following committees were ap-
pointed:
On constitution and bylaws: J. c.
Thomas, Z. c. Taylor and II. Z. Plimp-
ton; on grounds: John Hancock, Erwin
Gauch and J. Allen
The committee on grounds will con-
fer with J. Q. Mcdonald. superintendent

ask suitable grounds for the purpose.
An initiation fee will be charged and
small dues be collected from the mem

supplies; also it is planned to prob
ably rent some suitable building for
the quarters for the organization. An
other meeting will be held at which
time officers will be elected and re-
ports submitted by the committees.

vt WILL pay every farmer who sows
wheat this fall to treat the seed for
L smut before sowing it The 1912
wheat crop was badly damaged with
smut and On account of this we must
exercise every precaution to keep it
out of the 1913 crop.
The most of US know that the smut
spores adhere to the what kernels and
are sOWn with the seed. When the
seed begins TO grow, the smut also
grows 1t lives in the wheat plant and
is ready to destroy the wheat kernel as
soon as it forms
On account of the large amount of
smut in the country this year, it viii
pay to treat all wheat seed whether it
shows smut or not
Either the blue stone or formalin
treatments, will do the-work, the latter
being considered best.
Use one pound of a 40 percent solu-
ton of formalin in 40 gallons Of water,
which is enough to treat from 1000 to
$500 pounds of seed. Thoroughly wet
the seed either by sprinkling or dip
ping. Pile the wet grain and cover
with blankets or sacks for two hours,
then spread out to dry. Thoroughly
disinfect the sacks in which the seed is
to be replaced, also see that the grain
drill is washed out with She solution
Don't treat the seed too long before
sowing it
Kafffr and Milo Maize Seed.
Farmers can increase the yield of
kaffir and milo maize crops at least
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-10-03

one-fOurth by the use of the right kind
Of seed Poor seed often produces such
a poor stand that it has to be plowed
up and replanted this making all of
the first planting and sometimes the
second planting a total loss. Why not
feed this poor seed to the hogs or cat
tie and plant seed that has been Sc
cured from the field and is known to
be good?
A farmer cannot afford to wait until
spring and take seed from the bundle
or out of the threshed seed from the
granary. 1t may have become heated
in storage, or the freezing and thaW-
ing of winter may have damaged the
terminating qualities.
The time to begin the 1913 kaffir
and maize crops is in September and
October. By selecting the best heads
from the field at this time, the farmer
can secure the earliest and best formed
heads. A selection of these earliest
heads will insure a seed that will ma
ture uniformly earlier than the seed
from the later heads
The farmer who will go through his
field and select the best heads before
the crop is harvested has an opportuni-
ty to see the type of stalk which pro-
duces the seed. A big head grown on
a stalk by itself is not as good for
seed a a uniform size head which grew
on a good stalk, which was surrounded
by other good stalks.
Again, if the crop from which seed
is being selected is somewhat mixed
with other sorghum crops, the selected
heads should be taken as far away
from the foreign heads as possible.

FARMING
BERRENDO MELONS
BRING GOOD PRICES
Twenty-Sfx Cars Are shipped to East
ern Markets by Association at
Roswell. n, NJ

Roswell, n. NJ, Oct 3-Twenty-six
carloads Of cantaIoupes were shipped
by the Berrendo CantaloGpe associa-
uon this year. The late rains of the
past 10 days spoiled three cars so that
now the foreign shipments have ceased,
although there will be cantaIoupes on
the local markets for the next two
weeks.
The Berrendo cantaIoupes topped the
eastern markets this year, as they did
last season, even over the famous
Rocky Ford melon. Just before the
close of the season the Berrendo Canta-
loupe association received from its New
York City commission house the fol-
lowing message:
Your cantaloupes preferred above
all others-rush shipments
The BerrendO people received So 25
per crate for their melons in New York
City. Eleven cars were shipped to its
firm there
The Philadelphia shipments did not
bring so much, but the average price
IN the east for the melons was 81 so
per crate, (. 0. b. destination
Owing to the late season last spring
only 40 acres of 500 acres signed mp
to raise cantaloupes developed a crop,
and there were many setbacks to the
10, so that the growers think they
have done fairly well this year. The
first shipments were made Aug. IA in
stead Of July 20, as contemplated. This
put them in direct competition with
the Rocky Ford melon, which began to
ship Aug. IS.

Douglas. Ariz., oct g. scientific farm,

Douglas, Ariz., Oct 3.-Scientific farm
farming an abundance of flood water
are the elements which account for the
continued success of W. a. Sheppard, a
farmer in the Sulphur Springs valley,
16 miles north of Douglas and six and
a half miles southeast of McNeal. Dur
ing the seven years he has been in the
valley he has not experienced a single
bad year while his crops have been in
creasingly good with each succeeding
year.
As a sample of the crop of this year,
Mr.. Sheppard brought about two dozen
milo maize heads to the chamber of
commerce yesterday. A portion of
these, crossed in a scientific manner
with kaffir corn, weigh in the neigh
borhood of three-quarters of a pound
each.
Mr.. Sheppard, in speaking of his
corn crop, stated that he has a field
in which many of the stalks have
reached height of more than 10 feet,
although the ears have not yet fully
matUred. The crop was planted late.
Among this years crops on Mr.. Shep-
pard's farm are 100 tons of sugar cane.
