INDIVIDUAL WINNERS
At STATE FAIR.

1t transpires that a complete
record of the ribbon winners a
the state fair is hard to get
although we have succeeded ir
locating most of them, j. w
Davis of Mcintosh was nominal
ly in charge of the display sent
from Willard, which consisted OF
products sent from the Moriarty
exhibit to the Willard fair, com
bined with the products from
Willard vicinity exhibited at the
Willard fair. This display did
not reach Albuquerque till We'd
nesday, and Mr.. Davis left before
the close of the fair. Mr.. High
tower knew but a very few of
those to whom the individual ar
ticles in this display belonged,
and hence it is impossible to give
a complete list of individual win
ners in this section.
However, the Willard section
of the Torrance county display,
which, as noted above, included
articles from Moriarty, received
fourth prize for community ex-
hibit of dry farm products, on
% individual ribbons-five frsts,
eleven seconds and six thirds,
Of these individual winners
we are sure of but one-J. W..
Davis of Mcintosh. whose Nam
moth Pearl potatoes were deco
rated with a blue ribbon.
A plate of apples which there
is reason to believe belonged to
Mr.. Spencer of Eastview or Mr..
Chapman of Manzano, got blue
ribbon.
The other three blue ribbons
were won by Oregon Blue, Peach
blow, and California White po-
tatoes.
Of course somebody will prob |
ably be able to tell to whom
these belonged. If any reader
can tell US, we would like to
print the names, as we want to
give deserved credit to the rails
ers of prize winning products.
There is no data available even |
for a guess as to who the Win
ners of the eleven red and six
yellow ribbons were.
One blue ribbon and all the
others were left at this office by |
Mr.. Hightower and will be de
livered to Mr.. Davis.
Mr.. Hightower tells US that
the Willard exhibit was entitled
to two additional blue ribbons,
and presumes they were award
ed, but he doesn't know.
The Estancia section of the
Torrance county exhibit won
first money for community ex-
hibit of dry farm products

Preservation Of City Trees.

The Twentieth Century club wants
the city to spend $4,000 year on
caring for the shade trees in our
streets The demand is modest one.
We have thousands OF trees worth
5000 each or more. not to speak OF
the commoner ones of less value.
What manufacturer who had invest
ed hundreds of thousands Of dollars
in a plant would allow it to go to
wreck for lack of few thousand dol
lars a year for maintenance? Yet
that is what we are doing with our
trees. We spend money freely in set
ting them out and then we leave
them to the mercy of insects and
other pests. It would be far wiser to
spend what money we can spare in
taking care of the trees we have rath-
er than go on setting out more, know
ing that in a few years they will in
all probability have succumbed to the
unnatural conditions In which they
are set. BY all means preserve our
trees. There is nothing which heauti-
fies city more, nothing which, with
a proper annual expenditure, yields a
better return Detroit Journal.

TAR,s BAD EFFECT ON TREES
Road surfacIn0, So Common In This
Country and Europe, Shown to
BE Injurious.

The taFring Of the roads has come
to be common practice in this coun-
try and in Europe, especially in the
neighborhood Of cities where the auto
mobile traffic has been heaviest. A
few years ago the French botanist. Dr..
Gatin, made study Of the trees along
the roadway in the Bots de Boulogne
in Paris to find whether the treatment
given the roads had any influence upon
the vegetation. This examination
brought out the fact that the trees
that had received the dust from such
roads were much affected; their
growth was stunted, the leaves small,
shrive1ed up, and became spotted. In
Investigations made subsequently he
tried to find out whether there were
not other effects upon more deep
lying parts, and gave special atten-
ton to the catalpa, or Indian bean"
as 1t is called In this country.
Comparing the twigs of normal trees
with those of affected trees, all hay-
ing been cut on on the 1st Of July, he
found that those on the normal trees
were considerably larger at the base.
The reduction in the affected trees Is
particularly confined ito the woody lay
ers, as the bark Is of the same thick
ness on all the twigs, says a writer in
Harper's Weekly. The wood cells are
much smaller, whereas the layers i'm
mediately under the skin are develop
ed much more in the trees attacked by
tar dust. Specimens gathered In the
autumn showed more important differ
ences. In the normal trees the twigs
had the usual deposits Of reserve
starch, whereas in the trees grow
Ing along the tarred roads no starch
was present.
Other trees showed parallel effects
Thus the black locust and the one-leaf
locust, whether collected in the early
summer or in the autumn, showed I'M
favorable effects upon the twigs and
leaves when the trees were showered
with dust from the tarred roads. The
corky layers Of the bark developed ir-
regularly, and the starch was less
abundant than normally. Finally, alb
normal cork formations appeared upon
the veins of the leaves of pelargenium
and in the leaf stalks of sycamore and
chestnut trees.
These effects upon the growth of the
trees, and especially the inhibition of
the starch formation; explain why 1t
is that the effects of road tarring have
not been observed soon after the ap-
plication of the tar. The injurious ef-
feet upon a tree is cumulative. For
two or three seasons the tree can put
forth new shoots at the expense of re-
serve food Of previous years; but grad
ually the noxious tar dust brings about
the unfaYorable symptoms. II some
thing were to be introduced as a sub
stitute for tarring, 1t would again be
several years before we could be quite
sure that 1t did not have an undesir-
able effect upon the vegetation Of our
parks and roadsides.

One Good Thing, 1t Least That He
May Place % the Credit o.
the Auto.


The farmer may not venerate the
automobile. but he must admit that,
although the automobile teaches 9th
ers extravaganza, it has taught him
yery valuable lesson in economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice, or
aphis, overrun and destroy plants and
how the SOLD protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly.
But Of late years farmers have mo-
ticed that. while all the plants IN Held
or garden were covered with aphis.
all the roadside growths. white with
dust from flying automobiles. had not
a single aphis ON them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips, peas
and cabbages we're coated with crdi-
nary dust instead of costly powder.
Result disappearance Of all insect par
asites.
The automobile, in{ word, has
taught the farmer that dust, which
costs nothing, win protect his plants
from plantslice and other pests just as
completely as the most expensive
powder can.

Bad Teeth Go with Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs Of a steady de-
generacy in two sets of organs vital to
the well being of the human race, and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations. The evidence is that,
coincident with the mental advance OF
man, there has been a diminution in
the provision of teeth. In the ape,
the negro, and the white man, brain
and teeth arc inversely proportional
to efficiency. Increase Of cunning has
reduced the work of the teeth, and the
demand Of the brain for blood has
starved the former; disorders Of d.
gestion show that the balance is un-
satisfactory.
