A New Method
Of Turpentining

The Forest service has for some
years experimental to improve
the methods of turpentining.
From these experiments a system
of working trees so as to produce
more gun than under the old
wasteful methods has been OBJ
tanned. The essential features
of the new system are to use cups
which are placed as low as pos
sible upon the tree, instead Of
boxing the timber and to cut mar
row and shallow strips from the
face in chipping. This method
not only increases the yield OF
turpentine but also prolongs the
life of the trees so that it is
thought that they may be work
ed for IL years instead of for only
A or 5 as is now being done.
After the trees have been worked
for IL years they will be cut UP
into lumber. While turpentine

operators were somewhat skept-
-ictal of the new method, many
of them now see it's advantages
over old methods and are adopt
ing the new system on their own
holdings.
This new method of turpentin-
ing is of interest to the south
west since it has already been
discovered that western yellow
pine in Arizona and New Mexico
can successfully be turpentined
when prices of rosin and turpen-
tine advance slightly. It is,
therefore, not unlikely that with
in the next 5 or 6 years the
western pines will be turpentin-
ed under a method which will
give the highest possible yield.

Forest Service Road Work

The Forest Service has recently COM
pleted a portion of the East and West
Arizona State Highway, which practi-
cally parallels the Santa Fe r. r. tracks
between Flagstaff and Williams, and
lies entirely within the Coconino Nation
al Forest. The work completed consists
of approximately II miles of highway, z
of which are surfaced with volcanic
cinders. The construction work is in
conformity with the Arizona State high
way specifications.
The amount expended by the Forest
Service on this project was approxima-
tely $21, 900. 90 the average costpe mile
of finished road being $1,000. 90 while the
cost per mile of unsurfaced roawday was
$4,000. Coconino County has done
considerable work on this highway be-
tween Bellemont, where the Forest
Service worked ends, and Williams. and
it is understood that the Board of Super
visors intend completing the entire pro-
ject by May /. 1914.

this highway between Flagstaff and Rior-

dan, the old road was almost impossible
during several months of the year, on
account of the composition of the soil,
which is red clayey nature, and the
lack of drainage. Construction work
was very difficult in this vicinity, due to
the fact that it was mostly of side hill
character, and the presence of malpais
rock, which made excavation very ex-
pensive, The highway traverses gener-

system, in which corrupted galvanized
iron culverts are used, is complete in
every respect.
Aside from being of great benefit to
the towns of Flagstaff and Williams,
and settlers in the vicinity, the highway
will doubtless be travelled by transcon-
tinental tourists. For the latter reason
particularly, the County Board is ex-
tending its best efforts to complete the
highway, in order that it may be in the
best of condition prior to the anticipated
traffic which will undoubtedly occur dur

Uncle Sam Wants To
Aid The Farmers

That millions of dollars are lost
to American farmers every year
because of their ignorance of the
aid which the department of
agriculture, Washington D. c.,
is ready to give them, was the
statement given out by the de-
partment.
The department has undertake
en- the task of informing the farm
ers of the nation of it's work, that
they may be encouraged to call
upon it frequently for aid and for
advice.
If a farmer wishes to find out
what disease is affecting a plant
or a crop, and what he should do
to combat it, he need only send a
sample of the diseased plant to
the laboratory of plant pathology
bureau of plant industry. These
facts were emphasized by the de-
partment in its weekly news let
ter, made public Thursday.
The Office of pathological col
lections and inspection work con-
tains the largest collection of
toadstools, mushrooms and fungi
in the world. If you find a fun
gus and want to know whether it
is an edible mushroom or a pois-
onous toadstool, you need merely
send it to the office of patholog-
ical collections,
In the inspection of plants i'm
ported from foreign countries,
the office has condemned thous-
ands of plants and quarantined
others, saving the farmers of the
United State from deadly blights.
The office of fruit disease in
vestigations. has coped with all
known diseases of fruits and nuts.
1t either has a cure for every di-
sease or can tell how to lessen
the evils of any disease.
Investigations in forest path
ology have been equally far-reach
ing. Whether the farmer desires
information about a forest range
or a backyard shade trees, he
need only write to the department
of agriculture.
The new plan of urging farm
ers to correspond with the de-
partment frequently is said to be
the result of Secretary Houston's
determination to make the de-
partment of agriculture source
of help and inspiration to every
farmer in the United States.

To Save The Water Power

1t is probable that one of the
things that will be legislated up
on during the present session of
congress, is some plan by which
the water power of the country
can be developed without permit
ting them to be gobbled ub by
corporations and individuals who
see the tremendous possibilities
in them for private gain. /.
It is estimated by expert engi-
neers that the water power of
this country when fully develop
ed will amont to several times as
the aggregate of all the steam
power at present used on all the
railroads, mills and factories and
in other ways in which steam
power is used in the United Stat
es. Until the recent discoveries
in electricity by means of which
power can be transmitted for
hundreds of miles through wires
water powers could only be utiliz-
ed in the immediate vicinity of
the water power. Now it is pos
sible to transmit the power for at
least two hundred mile with little
loss. Many of the best water
powers of the country are located
where it is nearly impossible to
build a railroad and therefore
mill or manufacturing plant
could not be operated in the
immediate vicinity of the power
because the product could not be
transported. Now, however, it
is not necessary to locate the
manufacturing plant near the
water power. 1t may be two hum
dred miles away. That means
that the formerly inaccessible
water powers can all be utilized.
Water power once developed re-
mains constant. 1t does not give
out like power developed by coal
when the supply of coal is ex-
hausted. Far sighted men were
quick to see the tremendous pos
sibilities in the undeveloped
water powers of the country and
began to beseige congress for
water power rights on navigable
streams. All navigable streams
are under control of the general
government. At first congress
was disposed to grant these rights
without much question and upon
the terms suggested by the men
who intended to make vast for
tunes out of the development.
Within the past year or two, how
ever, a few congressman have
walked up to the fact that the
government was giving away a
vast heritage that belonged to
the people. A number of plans
to get possession of tremendously
valuable water powers have been
blocked in the past congress or
two, but no one has come forward
with a well digested plan for de-
ve]opment, either by the general
government or under government
supervision and control.
It is probable that a bill intend
ed to cover this most important
subject will be introduced at the
present session.

Lost Without a Fleet.

With the enemy in control of the
sea, it is only question of time when
the canal falls"
In these words Col G. w. Goethals,
U. S. A., chief engineer of the Panama
Canal, gave the Naval Committee OF
the House the strongest possible argu-
ment for naval increase. As the open
ing OF the canal comes nearer, it is in
creaSingly apparent that the feet is
its primary and only lasting defense.
The waterway connecting the oceans
will vastly increase the effectiveness of
whatever naval force we have. Had an
Isthmian Canal existed in 1898 the
Oregon need not have encircled South
America to be in at the death at San
tiago.
Opponents of adequate naval defense
are fond of declaring that the demand
for more ships comes from naval Off
GERS Col Goethals is an army officer,
yet he acknowledges that the posses
sion of the canal depends upon control
OF the sea. This is merely military
maxim, but one which many mil
lions of persons in this country fail
10 appreciate The idea that any num-
Der of forts at Panama could indefi-
nitely resist a siege is thoroughly fall
lacious.
Even a force of 5000 men, strongly
intrenched in modern fortihcations,
with the highest powered guns manu-
featured, would be able to hold out for
only about nine months, according to
Col Goethals That is as large an
army as the United States maintained
altogether before 1888 OF course, the
United States is in no position or mood
TO maintain a garrison OF $4,000 men
on the isthmus.
Col. Goethals frankly said that
garrison of 5000 men would be all that
the present military policy could spare
for such duty This will be adequate
TO defend the canal only against such
an expedition as might be landed from
feet powerful enough to wrest COM
mand OF the sea from the United
States.
In other words, the plight of the
Panama Canal will be perilous once
bereft of its battlesflip defense. While
the feet commands the approaches
from the Atlantic and Pacific sides the
fortifcations of the big ditch will not
be required to fire a shot.

Value of Evidence.

From the Pittsburg ChronicleTelesraph.
In case recently decided in a Justices
court in Washington County. fifteen men
testified that a certain driver of an
automobile had not blown his horn at
crossing, while on the. other side two
young women testified emphatically that
the horn was sounded. The justice de-
cided in favor OF the defendant, accept
ing the testimony Of the women.
Some persons seem to think II odd that
the testimony of two girls should out
weigh that of fifteen men, but that is
really not the proper way OF looking at
the matter. II two men had been posi-
tive that the horn had been sounded. and
fifteen women had not heard il. the re-
suit would probably have been the same

the difficulty OF obtaining exact infor-

who see and hear, or think they see and

mony is of more value than negative
testimony.

When the Heart Goes on Strike.

Investigations have shown that. in
spite of the great reduction in the gen.
eral death rate. due to improved social
and sanitary conditions, the death rate
among men between the ages of forty
five and sixty-fve is increasing. This
is due to the rapidly increasing aggre-
cation of population in towns and cities
where, under present industrial con-
ditions of modern life, there is undue
hustle and stress. Hustling brings
about premature degeneration of the
arterial system. The heart is overtaxed.
The record of the increasing number
of deaths from heart disease gives
startling statistical confirmation of the
killing pace among middle-aged men.
This is further proven by the con-
trary showing among women. There
has been, for many years past, a reduc-
ton of the female death rate between
the ages of forty-fve and sixty.
Among active business men anxiety.
worry, and overwork put a constant
mechanical strain on the heart and
blood vessels. Overfeeding and wrong
and irregular feeding bring on toxic
poisoning, especially where there is
lack of physical outdoor exercise.
Finally the heart goes on strike, and
the end comes.
