LATE PLANTING

Cotton planting will all be late
this year. The ground will hard

cease and the water gets off.
Run all over the land with disc

stand on top of the ground. This
will hold the moisture until you
can get your planting done will
let in the air and will allow the
sun to warm the ground. If the
ground dries rapidly a little deep

low planting is the best for a
rule. Flat beds are best. High
beds .give warmth and air but
are hard to cultivate and mean a
decrease in Yield in case of even
a short drouth, and require more
hoeing which is costly in cult

difficult of cultivation but d ry

has the appearance of having
been laid off with a ten inch
shovel between the beds. If
beds are lowered by rollers, har-
rows or drags, the seed bed will

JUMPS ON RUSTY SIDEWALK NAIL

While working on well digging ma
chine Minnesota man jumped upon a
rusty sidewalk spike The nail drove
part of his black wooden sock far up
into his foot. He removed as much of
the sock as he could, put ON Allen s
Ucerine Salve, and kept right on with
his work. The salve drew out parts of
the sock and all other poisons and in a
week his foot was healed up.
This salye is one of the oldest RENE
dies in America and since 1869 has been
known as the only salve powerful
enough to cure chronic ulcers and old
sores of long standing.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve acts by draw
ing out the poisons and healing the sore
from the bottom up. 1t is so powerful
that it heals new cuts and sores in one
third the time that common salves and
liniments take. And it heals scalds
burns without scar. Sold by Hester
ly Drug Store, and other leading drug
gists.

thoroughly dried out.

The season generally is late,
due to so much water. In those
sections a fight against the frost
is necessary. A small acreage
we'll prepared planted in an early
maturing seed, fortified and
well cultivated, will open earlier
than a greater acreage thrown
into bad seed bed without fer
tilizer and without sufficient cul-
tivation. Good cultivation and
greater quantities of fertilizer
hasten maturity. You get bet
ter opening. a surer crop, more
pounds per acre and if restrict
ion of acreage is practieed to the
extent it.should be. you get great
er money returns, and that is
what we plant and reap for.
The remaining land sown in
peas, soy beans and late corn
will improve the soil and furnish
the feed for the crop of 1914 and
make it much better year than
it otherwise could be for profit

Secretary Welch of the board of trade in connection with his many service stunts has devised d news letter" scheme whereby folks writing back home can tell about the glories of this country through the medium of news letters from the board of trade. In order to stimulate, there fore, this sort of work, the secretary yesterday prepared the following bulletin upon the proposition, which not only explains the service but also engenders a desire to see it a success.
 "News Letter Service
 "One of the best advertising me diums is through the news letter sent to the home paper by the one far away from friends and acquaint ances. Many people would be glad to write these letters if they had the time. To help out these parties the board of trade will be glad to supply a series of facts and figures that can be made the basis of a let ter which will serve to tell the home folks where you are and what the place is like.
 "The board receives many requests for suggestions along this line and so when you are ready to write. the
 
 friend of yours, drop in at Second avenue and Adams and get hold of little dope that will help you in your communication. You can also probably suggest some ways in which the organization can get in a good word Maybe they have a few cuts your editor friend could run. At any rate call and see what is being done for the valley and for Arizona in general
 "One letter received this morning at the board of trade reads:
 I am calculating to write a news letter to my home paper in Iowa descriptive of what is doing and how it is done in this valley
 That's the spirit. Tell 'em east what we have, how to get in with us. and soon they will all be coming along,

INDIANS YEARN FOR
 WHITE MEMS SCALPS
Manager Venne of Indian School Has
 Chip on Shoulder for Alumni

That alumni bunch offered to play Us when they pulled off that hubbub at the time they met the Coyotes" said Venne, manager of the Indian school, last night, and now we are here to call their bluff. We want that game and We want it bad, and we will challenge them to come out and take what they gave the Coyotes"
 Them was the woids." They were influenced by an insane desire on the rart of the Indians to meet the has heens of the high in a practice game to put them, the Indians, in condition for the game they will play against the University of Arizona here one week from Saturday and the Satur- day preceding fair week.
 The Indians have good team this year. Nearly all the old men of the school are back and. there is some promising material in the new men who have entered the school this fall. They will put out a team that will make the varsity and all other teams go some to take a look at the score board, and they want just one con ditioning game before they go up against the stiff aggregation from the university.
 The university has the strongest team they have had for some years, this fall Merritt, the Prescott star of last year and the year preceding, will be at quarter. In the backfield, there are Bumps Crawford and Piper, both of whom are known here, and the line contains the old Merritt who played with the Prescott high some three years past. Beside this there are Mcintosh at tackle Jones at guard Pickreu of California at of the year past who are again on the U rolls and are looking for the chance to meet the Indians or any other team They are a galaxy of stars out for the university and they boast that they will win every game they play this year.
 The IT will have one practice game before they come here. It is the game the coming Saturday, when they meet the fast bunch from the New Mexico Aggy school, and when they will play one of their hardest games cf this season. It is therefore the de- sirei of the Indians to meet as good a team as they can find in this part Of the country in order that they may have a conditioning game.
 Therefore the challenge, and there was much talk last night on the streets of an acceptance At any rate the U s. L s. have called the alumni bluff.

JO. PATCHEN |S
 WORKING FAST
Noble Animal Takes Two Miles in 2:05 and 2:04 in Trial Workouts on State Fair Track Yesterday Afternoon

The kind of work that the visitors to the state fair will see done by the fast harness horses entered for the events can be gauged by looking over the workouts of Jo Patchen II. on. the big track at the fair grounds these sunny afternoons. C. K. DeRyder. who is driving the wonderful horse, took Jo around the track twice yes terday to a stop watch and the ami nal stretched himself for the first mile in 2:05 and the second one in 2:04. and this isn't a patch on what he is likely to do when he gets the travel kinks out of his smooth moving shanks.
 De Ryder is in love with the track. He says it is thirty minutes faster than the Sacramento track was this year, which would indicate that it in first class condition and records may be broken during the week of big happenings.
 Three carloads of fast horses for the harness events arrived yesterday from the east and west and one more carload will be on hand today. There will be in addition three carloads from Dallas, Texas, where they have been doing great work at the Texas state fair.
 C. C. Crippen is on hand with Re deem and Della Lou, two horses that have been burning up the tracks ali year. They are expected to put up some star performances this year.
 Everybody is jubilant over the coming horse events. The quarters for these rich mems pets are rapidly filling up, and by the end of the week probably all the fast horses will be on hand. and the final workouts will begin, acclimating the horses for their work during fair week.
