ARIZONA ASKING
 TO GO IT ALONE

Petitions are being circulated all over Arizona for asking President Taft to create new internal revenue district of Arizona. The petitions are being numerously signed and great pressure will be brought to bear on President Taft to rearrange the revenue districts, making separate district out of the new state of Arizona.
 The prerequisite for the formation of new district is that the revenue from the territory included in the proposed district must be at least $10O, GOO and it is claimed by those who are in a position to know that Arizona is able to qualify in that re- spect. Arizona and New Mexico al present comprise a revenue district and the revenue from the district is said to be approximately S2OO, GOO. New Mexico, it is said, furnishes a little over $6O, GOO of this amount and Arizona the remainder.
 Under this arrangement the head quarters of the. revenue service oi the district is at Santa Fe, N. M., and the officials of the district num- bering about thirty-five, are in New Mexicans.
 It is claimed that this arrange ment is unfair to Arizona and it is proposed to give Arizona its due. One proposition is to give northern California to the Oregon district, and southern California to Arizona anc throw New Mexico into the Cobra do district.

The Second Foot of Water

"Second-foot," as defined, by the United States Geological Survey, is an abbreviation for cubic foot per second and is the unit for the rate of discharge of wat.r flowing in a stream l foot wide, 1 foot deep, at a rate of 1 foot per second. It is generally used as a fundamental unit in measurements of stream flow.
 ''Second-feet per square mile" is the average number of cubic feet oi water flowing per second from each square mile of area drained, at the assumption that the run-off is dis tributed uniformly both as regards time and area.
 An "acre-foot" is equivalently to 43, 56O cubic feet and is the quan tity required to cover an acre to th' depth of 1 foot. The term is com monly used in connection with stor age for irrigation work.
 One second-foot flow equals 7.4S United States gallons a second, AS. gallons a minute,- or 646, 317 gallon Ia day. As a California ''miner' inch" equals O.. 1S7 gallons a second there are 40 California miner inches in 1 second-foot.

son you will have a large flock OF all
sizes, all colors and all conditions.
What then could be expected If cock
erels from such a hatch we're allowed
to mate up with the pullets? Origi-
nally the mongrel represented good
blood, eventually it could boast of
nothing. That Is the very kind of
mlTe out of which it is the purpose
of the writer to lead the farmer. Get
out OF the rut, and aim for more
poultry and better quality.
We have known cases where mon
grel poultry have been graded up to
better stock. For instance, a flock of
common hens of the same color were
selected, and pure male of a dis
tinct breed of the same color was in
troduCed. The next year a male, not
related, of the same breed was mated
with the pullets of the first cross, and
so on the breeding was continued un-
til the common blood was practically
eliminated. 1t can be done, but it is
a long way to secure what can be ac-
complished the first season by in
stalling the genuine goods.
The advice is, secure a breeding
pen of practical purebreds, keep
nothing else on the premises, do not
inbreed. build warmer and better
houses, feed a ration that will make
eggs and not fat, and give the hens
as good care as would be given the
cows. The result will be more eggs,
better eggs, larger and more plump
CarCasses-and, more money in the
hennery.

Cows Scarce i'm India.

London.-A deputation has arrived
from India to put before the British
public and government a grievance.
1t is that in order that British troops
in India may have beef to eat, the
COW, the most valuable possession of
the tiller of the soil in India, is be-
ing slaughtered too freely. AS the
natives use the bulls as beasts of
burden and for plowing, the result
is that only cows are offered for
slaughter. Now it is contended that
cows have become scarce and that
the milk supply falls far short of the
demand. 1t is urged that the govern
ment import Argentine beef to India.

name indicates the comprehensive
ness of the aims of the association.
1--WE want to reclaim these S0,-
100000 acres of swamp lands" said
Edmund T. Perkins, of Chicago, who
called the meeting. 1--WE want to
add to the permanent wealth of the
country five or eight billion dollars
worth of land, and hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to the vaue of the
annual crops from our lands. We
want Uncle Sam to do this for the
sake of all his people-to provide
more homes for his nephews and
nieces, to increase the prosperity of
the land, to decrease the high cost
of living.

Swamp Reclamation is Task of New
League.

Chicago-The immediate drainage
of the S0,00O,0OO acres of swamp
and overflow land in the United
States, the immediate regulation and
control of the flood waters of every
river in the country, the immediate
development of a national policy for
the control of the entire water ques-
tion as a unit, are the aims of the
National Drainage Reclamation as
sociation just formed in Chicago of
men from the south, southeast, east,
southwest, middle west and far west.
To this end the new association
will get behind the bill introduced
in the senate by Senator Newlands,
providing for the regulation and con-
troll OF all rivers and streams, stor-
ing their food waters and distTibut-
ing them in times Of low water.
1T is a big question" said f. j.
Watson, commissioner of agriCul-
ture, commerce and industry, of
South Carolina, "a tremendous ques-
tion. But now is the time to do the
work. Now is the time for the pa
triotic citizens of all the United
States to say to congress: we de-
mand (not ask that the federal
government do its duty; we demand
that the federal government drain
the swamp lands, store the food wa
ter, restore the forests
At is a great work." said b. A.
Fowler, of Phoenix, perhaps the
greatest work ever undertaken by
any body of men in the United
States. We of the west are with
you. We will help you of the south
and the east and the central states
and the northern states to drain your
swamps and to drain our swamps,
for we of the west have millions of
swamp acres to be reclaimed"
James r. Garfield, former secre-
tary of the interior, and Clifford Pin
chot, former chief forester and at
present the president of the National
Conservation association, were pres
ent at the organization meeting.
Each spoke at length upon the mag
nitude OF the work the association
was about to undertake; each spoke
OF the necessity for a strong organ
ization, built upon the policy of ma
tional patriotism.
