Experiment Station
The University of Arizona will
shortly establish an agricultural ex.
pertinent station at COchise. Nego
tiatioRs are under way to secure the
necessary land. The immense value
of the work of the University of Ari
IONA agricultural experiment station
to the farmers of the Sulphur SPRINGS
valley cannot be oyerestimated Prof.
r. II. Forbes and his learned as
sociates of the station must indeed
be pleased over the result of their
labors as shown in the valley. not
only have the farmers adopted the
improved method as taught by the
university. which has resulted in a
great increase in production. but
careful selection, and adaptation OF
crops has made farming more profit
able. During the past season, the
farmers harvested approximately n
hundred carloads of beans. So abund
ant avs the crop, that difficulty Is
being experienced in finding a mar
ket. The beans are OF a superior
quality and sell for less than the Cal
ifornia product.

ton Is worth attention.
postman who In a busy London
residential district walks from four
teen to sixteen miles day, starts out
In the morning with mails weighing
something like eighty pounds. AS
his letters and packages are distrib-
uted, the weight of his bag. of course,
grows less. so that the average weight
he carries Curing his trip is forty
pounds. A pint of water weighs Q
pound. A 10-quart pail weighs about
twenty pounds, and the average
weight the postman carries is equal
to two of these. II you want to know
why postmen are thin, try a 15-mle

from the Kyuquot station landed a
thirty foot shark.

De one OF the largest ever seen In
northern waters and weighed approxi-
mately eight tons.
The whaling steamer had been
searching vainly for whales for sew
eral days and the lookout had grown
tired OF scanning the surface Of the
ocean. He was suddenly aroused to
action by observing the dorsal fin Of
monster shark cutting the water
about 200 yards on the port bow. AS
the big sharks yield considerable oil.
the ships officers decided to try for
this one in view of the lack Of whales.
Running to within thirty yards OF
the shark with the boat, the gunner
fired the harpoon from the gun and
struck the monster at the first shot.
After terrific fight to hold the strug-
Cling sea animal it was hauled aboard
and cut up the steamer resumlng her
search for the larger mammals.
Officers Of the Tees declare that the
shark was the largest they had ever
seen. II was OF the species common
