 I have given much study to MT. Edison's recently invented educational methods, ' said the Judge. He has experimented for a long time. and, as in all his investigations, he does not present them to the world until he has attained perfection.
 His new method of teaching is therefore, not a theory, but a success, an established fact. We have gone along since the be- ginning of time teaching our children Tn the same old way.
 Under the new system it will be. briefly put, matter of men, tai impression. made so vivid that where at present the ordi- nary child struggles along for years mastering grammar school problems, it will require under the advanced method, only a few years to master all the prob lems of learning required for any other than a professional career.

the codling moth. In the spring the adult moths emerge and find themselves confined in a screen ed room and unable to fly to the orchards to lay their eggs
 In the different sections where apples and pears are grown it is suggested that the fruit growers organize fruit growers protective associations or codling moth pro- tective associations for co-opera- tive purposes. Such associations might arrange for purchasing sprayers and poisons with consid- erable saving in freightage and in prices of materials. It is nee essary to apply the first spray within a period of eight or ten days beginning when about nine tenths of the petals have fallen from the blooms. It is important therefore to have a pump or pumps of sufficient capacity to accomplish the desired work within the required time. Small lots of trees cannot be sprayed as q uickTy as large lots. At Woodruff, MT. s. D. Smith, crop pest inspector for district No. 5, reports about 87O apple and pear trees in lots ranging from three to 193. At this point two hand pumps costing about $40.00 each for complete outfits, are needed. If there were twice as many trees in the thirty orchards reported, 1 would not recommend four of the same hand sprayers, but instead would recommend a power spray CT run by means of a gasoline en- zine. Where there are as many as five acres in bearing apple and pear orchard, gasoline power sprayer is more economical than hand power. In spraying small lots of trees, however, the econ omy might not be proportional.
 For information concerning de sirable spray pumps and concern ing insecticides for use against the codling moth, consult MT. s. D. Smith, Crop Pest Inspector, Holbrook, or Mr. ./Ove E. Over son, St. Johns. Catalogs and price lists have beeu placed in the hands of both these representa- tives of the Arizona Commission of Agriculture and Horticulture.

COMBATING THE
 POCKET GOPHER
GU. s. Department of Agricul
 ture Biological Survey.)

The pocket gopher readily ac-
 cepts a poisoned bait consisting
 of chopped up sweet potatoes,
 parsnips or carrots treated with
 powdered strycnine. The bait
 should be cut into pieces about as
 large as the end of ones finger
 and while it is still fresh and
 moist, the strychnine may be
 dusted over it with an ordinary
 pepper shaker, at the rate of one
 fourth ounce to each peck of the
 bait.
 Another method of preparation
 is to stir the strychnine into a thick paste of laundry starch.
 Any quantity of the bait may then be cut up in a wooden box
 by means of a sharp spade and treated with the poisoned starch, the mixture beng thoroughly stirred 70 secure an even coating. If this bait seems a little sticky it may be spread out on news papers for a few minutes to dry on the surface. About three fourths of a pint of starch and one-fourth ounce of strychnine should be used for each peck of bait. The use of about one-six- teenth of an ounce of saccharine with each quarter ounce of strych- nine tends to disguise the bitter taste of the latter.
 About a half tablespoonful of the bait is sufficient for each opening made into the gopher's runway. For finding the burrow a prod or sharp instrument about an inch thick is needed. A good prod may be made by boring a hole into the large end of broom handle and inserting a piece of quarter inch steel rod abo u eighteen inches long. The other end of the handle should be sharpened. The rod is used as seeker to locate the gopher's bur row and the other end of the handle to enlarge the opening SO that the bait may be intoduced. It is best to put out bait only where fresh work of the gopher is noticed. Thrust aside the earth of a fresh mound with the foot, and seek, with the rod for the plugged exit through which the dirt was pushed out, or try to To- cate the main runway on a line between two mounds. It is best not to close the opening after the bait has been introduced.
 Trapping may also be success fully followed as a means of com batting the gopher. For this pur- pose an ordinary steel traps may be used, but one of the special gopher traps will usually give better results. We have found the Macabee gopher trap to be one of the most efficient. It is made by z. A. Macabee, of Los Gatos, California, and sells at S1. 50 per dozen. This trap must be set at a lateral of the gopher's burrow, and not the main run way. Freshly plugged laterals, where earth has recently been pushed out, may be easily To- cated by means of the prod de- scribed above. Enlarge the lat eral by hand sufficiently for in- troducing the trap, but do not push the latter back quite to the main runway. Leave the hole onon oftaT. cpttino tho fron

The cOQllng moth, SCrlcCly speaking, is the winged adult which is responsible for the worn about three quarters of an inch in length, found in apples and apples and pears in nearly every section of the United States. The adult is not commonly seen and Is even less known by fruit grow CTS so the lavra or worm which does the injury is commonly known as the "codling moth. 7"
 The insect is so rarely found in peaches and other fruits that in it's control only the apple and pear orchards are considered.
 It is not too early to make preparations for the control of the codling moth in
 APACHE AND NAVAJO COUNTIES.
 There are many orchards in northeastern Arizona which are still free from the codling moth, and for the protection of such orchards it is necessary to re- strict the transportation and sale of infected fruit. Certain grow CTS of apples and pears, in the two counties named, are plan ming to spray for the control of the pest this season. If any fruit grower spends time and money in the control of insect pests he is entitled to protection against the pests which breed in his neighbors fruit.
 WHO SHOULD SPRAY.
 All apple and pear growers at St. Johns. Concho, Woodruff, Showlow, Snowflake. St. Joseph and other places known to have the codling moth, should be pre- pared to spray this season. 1 would even advise spraying or chards which adjoin orchards that were infected in 1912. It is useless, however, as far as the codling moth is concerned, to spray in sections where the pest is not known. Any reasonable spraying or other remedial measures in an unaffected or chard will not prevent the cod ling moth from spreading into that orchard. Spraying is for the control of the pest after it becomes established. Since the codling moth attacks only the fruit. non-bearing orchards need no attention for the control of this pest.
 WHAT PREPARATIONS TO MAKE.
 Winter preparation for the control of the codling moth in Navajo and Apache counties should consist in: First, cleaning up and pruning the orchards; second, cleaning up fruit storage rooms, boxes and sacks: third, getting together and deciding how best to cooperate in pur- chasing spray pumps: fourth, ordering spray pumps and poison so that all necessary materials may be on hand when required.
 The coddling moth winters in the worm or caterpillar stage in- side of a whitish silken cocoon. These cocoons, which are little over one-half inch in length, are located under the loose bark of the trees, in cracks and holes of the trees, amongst weeds and rubbish on the ground in and around orchards, in sacks and box es, which have contained infest- ed fruit and in and around the rooms or sheds where infested fruit has been stored. Marrow cracks between boards provide very attractive winter quarters for the codling moth. If it were possible to locate all of these CO., coons during the winter season the codling moth might be abso- lutely exterminated. An effort should be made to take care of as many as possible. remember ing that on the average of every worm destroyed means the pro-

mittee estimated the actual invest
ment at $60,712,0O0.
Thus, of the beet-sugar capitalisa-
ton, from rs to so millions of dollars
is pure water, or 81 per cent. ]. Pier
pont Morgan in his prime never
poured water into stocks at this rate.
Even the Steel trust achievement
could not equal it.
Some of the individual companies
exceed even this figure. The Great

100000, is worth S10,600,000. The

of the Michigan Sugar Co., which is
sued over $11,00O,OO0 capital stock,
can be duplicated for s5.45O.OOO.
But in spite of these fictitious val
uations, the sugar companies have
been able to pay high dividends on all
their capital stock. The sugar in
vestigation showed that the Great
Western Sugar Co., besides paying z

The sugar in cane is called sucrose
by chemists. Louisiana cane is only
to Z per cent sucrose, while Cuban
cane is II to IA per cent and Hawaiian
from IA to Is per cent sucrose, or over
twice as much sugar in the same
amount of cane.
In Cuba sugar cane grows naturally
and is planted once every 10 years.
In Louisiana the cane must be re-
planted every year. There is never
frost in Cuba; in Louisiana the cane
must be cut in October before ma
turity to escape frost, thus accounting
for the lower sucrose content. Louis
lana sugar mills are antiquated, while
some of the Cuban factories are the
latest and most efficient in the world.
And so, though Louisiana wages are
lower than those paid in Cuba, it
costs nearly cents to produce a
pound of raw sugar in Louisiana
against a Cuban cost of cents. Said
Representative r. w. Hardwick, of
Georgia, the great sugar expert of the
house.
In order to produce a cane-sugar
crop valued at $25,000,000, our Louis
lana friends insist that we ought to
continue a system of taxation that
costs the American people $4,000. 900
| in the increased price of sugar. 1t is
undemocratic, it is unfair, it is I'M
righteous, and, so far as | am con-
cerned, | will never stand for a con-
tinuance of this policy to keep a duty
on this great necessity of life which
cannot possibly be produced in Louis
| lana one-half as cheaply as it can in
the balance of the world.
Why not continue the tariff tax on
sugar in order to protect the sugar
| beet industry?
| This is the query raised by the
sugar Hobbies. Here is the answer:
1t is unfair to require 9O,000,0OO sugar
consumers to pay cents a pound
more for sugar than it is worth in
order to protect the sugar-beet indus
try, because, although the sugar-beet
factories are overcapitalized approx

they are paying large dividends anC
making millions in profits.
