NASHVILLE STUDENTS AND
JUBILEE MINSTRELS

This widely advertised minstrel
organization will give one perform
ance at Brier's Hall Sunday evening
December the first, and judging
from all reports will be a show
worth seeing. This company is re-
turning East from a tour of all the
principal cities of the coast having
played engagements in all of them
to big business and come very
highly recommended. Every one
who has seen them has nothing but
words of praise for this company of
negro entertainers. The show is
made up of singing, dancing and
novelty acts with catchy ballets,
choruses and sprightly dancing,
featuring a novelty act that is Sec
ond to none in the country today.
Coy Herndon'is undoubtedly the
cleverest Hoop Controller in the
world. George Washington. the
man who never tells a lie, is always
favorite, with his funny makeup
and sayings, one always finds him
mirth provoker. Thos. Thompson,
sometimes billed as the silver voiced
tenor, sings some very beautiful and
pleasing songs. Freels and Nay,
singing and dancing comedians, con-
tribute no small part to the evenings
entertainment. There is something
doing all the while and every men,
ber does his part of the perform
apce in manner that is bound to
please. The band is excellent and al
ways drawing card. They will give
parade at noon and concert in
front Of the hall at seven thirty in
the evening. The Nashville Students s

free from the red and yellow scales
and reasonably protected by isola.
ton from orchards infested by these
pests. When not so protected in.
spections are of comparatively little
value in point of safety as concern
ing the Arizona citrus industry.
At would be impracticable to
attempt to determine which, if any,
nurseries in generally infested coun-
ties might be safely excluded from
quarantine.
5.-Both seed bed and budded
citrus stock can be obtained in
Tu|are and Fresno counties Califor-
MIA, which are excepted from the
quarantine. without the danger of
introducing the red and yellow scales
into this state.
6.--There will be about $4,000
budded citrus trees in the nurseries
of the Salt River valley available
for next springs planting. This is
fully twice as much as has been
planted in Arizona during anyone
of the past three years and will pre-
sumably meet the home demands
7.-Practically all of the home
grown citrus stock is being offered
for sale at the same prices as
charged for equivalent grades of
California stock.

Hats which are easily blown off

PLANT QUARANTINE
Arizona Commission of Agri-
culture and Horticulture
Press Circular No. z

"A At meeting Of the Arizona Com.
mission of Agriculture and Horticul-
ture held in Phoenix on October
3lst and November lst three quar-
antineSfders were adopted.
Quarantine order No. 4 prohibits
the importation into Arizona of
cotton seed from states in which the
cotton boil weevil exists. At the
present time cotton seed can be i'm
ported from Virginia. North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Cali
fornia, these states being free from
the boil weevil so far as known.
Quarantine order No. 5 relates to
the grape phylloxera which has de-
stroyed many vineyards in northern
California. This order prohibits
the importation into the state of
Arizona of all rooted grape vines
from California north of the north
line of San Bernardano, Kern and
San Luis. Obispo counties. Grape
cuttings may be released by Arizona
Crop Pest Inspectors only after
treatment by means of hot water to
destroy the winter eggs of the
phylloxera should any be present.
Quarantine order No. 6 relates to
the California red and yellow citrus
scale insects. A previous quarantine
order (No. q relating to white flies
prohibits the importation of all
citrus stock from Florida and other
gulf states. This latest order
(No. 81 places the same prohibition
on all seed bed and budded citrus
stock from California except only
that from Tulare and Fresno
counties.
Before adopting the foregoing
quarantine measures the Commission
gave through consideration to many
letters from the authorities in other
states regarding the distribution of
the posts concerned and the danger
of their transportation to Arizona.
In regard to the citrus quarantine
order the following facts were given
especial consideration before the
measure was adopted:
1.-The red and yellow citrus
SCALES are known to thrive especially
well in hot dry climates and colony
of the former has recently been
discovered in Phoenix and extermin-
ated, the details of the incident be-
ing fully described in the recently
issued Fourth Annual Report of the
Horticultural Commission. .....
2.--The red and yellow scales are
generally distributed throughout
the citrus growing sections of south
ern California according to a pub
lication by the California Expert
ment Station and other reliable
sources.
3.-Few if any nurseries in south

morrow and Saturday. by which time
delegates from all the states I6 dis
tricts viii have been named. Three
previous conventions have resulted IN
the election Of two uninstructed dele.
gates and contests in the other two
districts.
Today's conventions include two dis
tricts, the Eighth and the Fourteenth.
which, according to unofficial returns
of last weeks county conventions, are
both for Roosevelt. In the three re-
naming districts to act today It ap-
pears that uninstructed or contested
votes hold the balance of power. In two
of the districts the Twelfth and the
Sixteenth, Roosevelt received more in.
structed votes than Taft OH unoffi-
cial returns and in the other, the Sec
ond district, Taft received no instruct
ed votes In no instance, however,
does this preponderance give assar-
ance of control.
