BEE KEEPERS

Important Gathering Held al

THE SPECIAL TAX PLAN

PHOENIX, Ariz.. March IAN i'm
portant meeting of the beekeepers
OF this vicinity was held on Thurs
day afternoon at the offices Of
state Entomologist Prof. Morrel
Agriculture in this state is Of
considerably greater magnitude than
is usually appreciated by the gem
eral public shipments Of honey from
this valley alone running into hun
dreds of thousands of dollars each
season. At present the industry is
receiving added impetus. and many
apiarists are coming here from other
sections, from the fact that this is
probsbly the only section in the
United States where the beekeeper
does not have to contend against
foul blood" both American and
European, as well as what is called
back blood" In our neighboring
states these diseases are so pre-
valent as to render the industry a
very precarious one.
During the spring of last year,
there were several shipments into
this valley Of apiaries from other
states, and while no disease was
introduced by them. the fear Is en-
tertained by those interested in the
business that continual importations
will bring the disease, and they
recognize the necessity Of calling
for adequate protection from this

danger, through the form of a
legislative enactment providing for
the inspection of shipments. The
meeting Saturday was held for the
purpose of having read the draft of
a law which the legislature now in
session will be asked to pass.
The proposed law would make 4
necessary that shipments of bees
into the state be accompanied by
"a certificate of health from the bee
inspector OF the locality from which
they come. or in the absence of
such certificate, they will be inspect
ed by the Arizona bee inspector. or
his deputy. All apiaries, if this Law
is passed will be inspected twice
during the honey season. and should
disease be detected, the entomologist
is given authority TO handle the
case in such way as to prevent its
spread.
There is no disposition on the
part Of the. apiarists to ask the state
to increase its expense in order to
afford them this protection, but for
this purpose the proposed bill en-
bodies the assessment of a special
tax on each colony of bees TO be
set apart for this purpose, 1t also
requires the inspection officers to
notify the boards of supervisors CT
each county of the number Ct
apiaries in the county, what number
OF colonies in each. and the address
of owner.

heavy soil il is necessary to turn
under constantly a green ferti-
lizer or the soil will soon get into
such shape that irrigation is not
a success. Northwest of Lub-
book the soil is more sandy and
will in the future require much
fertilization to keep it up.
While in Lubbock county the soil
Is rich and has just enough sand
in it to avoid all the above
difficulties.
Experts tell US that a three
inch irrigation with a good out
fit costs about 65 cents per acre.
A three inch irrigation is a good
rain and ordinarily twice a year
is sufficient in this county. But
put IT at 81 90 per acre and you
have the cost of irrigation, not
over 81. 90 per acre per season.
Then consider the fact that YOU
can double and more than double
most of your crops by irrigation
and believe YOU will agree that
Lubbock county has a mighty
good proposition. Other places
near us have pushed irrigation
much farther than we and are
making a bIg success of il. And
it only remains for our farmers
to take hold of it to make this
county an even better money
making county than any other.
The first cost Of an irrigation
well seems big and the farmer
doesn't see where the money is
to come from. That is the one
thing which is holding many
back. |, isn't easy to pick up
-, 600. 90 or even half that. But
there are many farmers here
who are trying to farm much
more than they can handle well.
Wouldn't it be better to cut ones
section in half. sell one half and
take the proceeds and put in a
well on the other half? OF
course at the present time the
demand for land is not great. but

for them 10 put in their order
Immediately as il looks as though
the demand will exceed the
supply. About 1900 pounds will
be threshed in this county. which
II sold at 30 cents pound would
mean 81. 500.0 90 in the pockets OF
the FIVE or six farmers who
planted the grass this year. 1t
will not all be sold at this price,
as members of the agricultural
association get a discount of p
per cent. But even If It were
sold at half of 30 cents. it has
proven a big money crop for the
farmer. for besides the seed he
has a good tonnage Of hay. And
farmers say that stock will
leave every other kind of feed to
eat the grass.
Those who seem to know, say
that the demand for seed next
year will exceed that of this
year, as farmers are Just finding
out what a good thing Sudan
grass is.
Ii might be- interesting to the
readers Of this column to know
the purpose of this association.
II was organized by our live
farm superintendent, Mr.. Cory.
for the purpose Of growing pure
seed and breeding pure bred
stock. Monthly meetings are
held in different parts OF the
county. where live questions on
farming are discussed. Under
the direction Of Mr.. Cory. the
members plant nothing but the
best seed, and endeavor By care
ful work to raise nothing but
pure seed. The same purpose il
held in stock. This means, that
il will not be long before the
members will have not only the

best seed. but the best stock in
the country. The demand for
pure seed is on the increase. aud
big prices are paid for IL. We
understand that the association
will dispose Of much other seed
besides Sudan grass, at a price
exceeding the ordinary market.
Under Mr.. Cory's direction the
products grown for seed, are
carefully rogued, and when thus
handled, the guarantee of the
association goes with the sale of
IL.
This OF course means much
extra money for the farmers
raising the seed, besides the
better crops it gives himself.
WHAT is true Of the seed ques-
ton, is true Of purebred stock.
The farmer who has good stock,
can always sell for breeding
purposes. and on the market for
better prices than the farmer
who has nothing but scrubs and
grades. We predict that this
association is going TO be a
mighty good thing for the
farmers Of this county.
There ought TO be a larger
membership. and we believe that
when farmers realize the benefits
for themselves that there will be
a large increase of members.
Each meeting. new members are
coming in. By such means Lub-
book county will soon get = repu-
tation for itself as a place to
send for good seed and the best
stock.

Gradually there is a strong
sentiment growing up in favor
of irrigation in Lubbock county.
We hope that II will soon become
more than a sentiment. Farmers
are beginning to realize that
while with the silo, they can do
well on the average. but with
the well. they can be sure of big
crops each year. AS gentle
man remarked at the association
meeting last Monday. IT is
worth while. alone. to have a
well and know that you can
furnish your own rain, without
worrying and watching the
clouds, hoping that nature will
respond 10 your needs. and give
YOU the water when il ls needed. "
IL seems to US that a combina-
ton Of irrigation and dry farm
ing is the ideal for this country.
There is no question. that take il
year after year, such crops as
Sudan grass. feterita. kafhr,
maize, peanuts, cotton, fruit.
etc, are a success in this county.
Then with a silo and some stock,
and determination TO work. the
farmer can do well. But with a
small irrigation well the farmer
can not only raise other crops.
which always have d sure
but he can better the
above crops bv a iudicious appli-
cation of water, in a dry period.
Thus the well is not only a com
fort but a big money maker.

Two hundred acres can easily be

at the Arlington station that
there was the most protein shown
when the grass was cut before

seed was fully mature.
