Rout Potato Bugs.
Ed Epley, down ON the Flat" has
eleven acres of as fine corn as ever
grew on the soil of a rainy country:
also an acre of Irish potatoes. One
morning not long ago, Mrs. Epley,
walking out to the potato patch
noted the presence of potato bugs,
and, in alarm, called her husband. Az
first they tried to kill them, but this
was impossible, then the thought OF
driving them off was tried, and by
using old rags as whips, they soon
drove every bug from the field, and
as they always travel ahead, this
saved their potatoes. The wells
drilled or dug in the valley or noun
tains, have proven inexhaustible by
pumping. The general planting time
viii begin as soon as the regular
rainy season sets in.
Grass is Good,
The grass in the mountains is very
good, and has been all the spring
and summer. The recent rains in the
mountains have added thousands OF
dollars in value to the cattle now
ranging over them. Cattle in this
not only have green grass, but they
not only have geen grass, but they
have plenty of shade and water.
Testing Water Supply.
A wier-dam has been placed in Cave
Greek by a representative of an
eastern company, and a registration
of the volume of water flowing IN
this changeable stream is being est
mated, with view of placing a ser
les of dams in the canyon to store
it, also the flood waters from the
mountains, TO make them available
in irrigating land in the adjacent val,
ley. Much as this project has been
become reality. 1t is pity TO let
all the water that flows in this creek
during the year go to waste.

Paradise district is apparent each
week. The Nebraska-Arizoua proper

new hoist has just been installed.
This company could ship ore If the
concentration was running so that
they could save the hauling of other
than the pure concentrates.
The Wright-W orthington propert,
has several hundred sons OF ore Out
waiting concentration. The haul to
Rodeo, and the shipping TO III Paso,
means that this company can make
more by shipping only concentrates.
