BETS WINS PRIZE
 IN MILO MAIZE CONTEST
Grew Premier crop of Milo on Half an Acre Last Year and Takes Trophy.

William Betts. who lives on Rural was the fortunate winner of d hand some prize for growing the champion crop of milo maize in the Salt River valley. a prize that was offered by the Arizona Seed company of North Cen tral avenue. And figuring that Mir. Betts grew crop of 373O pounds to the measured half acre, and dragged down an average price of $66 an acre for his milo maize in addition to the S25 in gold which the seed company awarded. his labor on that patch was well worth while.
 Last fall the Arizona Seed company offered $25 in gold for the biggest and best crop of milo maize raised in the valley The competition was organized in half acres measured by a represe1- tativc of the company The crops were put in from seed supplied by the house, from selected standard dwarf stock When harvest time came around, the owners of the various plots collected their crops in the presence of wit
  curity. The results were turned into the company and compared. Mir. Betts had raised 3.130 pounds of milo maize on his half acre. This figures at the rate of about d hundred and fifty bush els to the acre. The cost of the pro duction was just $9 and the return s33. Resides this Mir. Betts corralled the $25 prize thereby making himself one of the most satisfied men in the country.
 The competition has brought out some interesting things in connection with milo maize In the first place it has resulted in the spreading of much information about the comparative val ucs of the several varieties of maize. Of all the seed received so far in Phoe- nix the best is the double dwarf. a plant that grows less than four feet high and mostly head This is a heavy yiclder with but little stalk. In the window display of the Arizona Seed company is a set of cOncentric bins showing the varieties of milo maize seed The standard is represented by the outside ring. and is a red berry like seed of some size Inside that ring are cream dwarf a soft variety that is going to prove very acceptable to chicks and other tender consumers of the grain. White dwarf maize is d good crop. which has the peculiarity of growing head up instead of curved downward as have all other sorts.
 After selling his fodder stalks off the field. Betts will have profited largely from his trial half acre. He is only one of a big list of Salt River valley farmers who have been taking up the culture of special crops for prize yields. If the fields are kept clean; with no mixture of the breeds, there is no end to the profit that can be derived from his crop.

SECRETARY OF STATE ADDRESSES LEGISLATURE Tbre. Busy Sessions of House Ac- compIishes Much Business Sec retary Osborn Talks for Motor
 Vehicle Bill.

Jacobs. the trip hammer chairman, bcssed the house in the committee of the whole yesterday afternoon and d whole lot of business was done. Bills were put across in workmanlike man. ner. The calendar is pretty well crowded owing to the number of sen ate bills that are continually coming across now that the lean end of the session is on The situation demands forcefuIness in handling the house, and Jacobs is nothing if not forcefEl.
 The house held morning session also and passed a number of DlllS finally besides receiving any number of bills from the senate that had been read in the upper house in patches of from three to nine at time, an lr- regular procedure that the house re- fuses to stoop to.
 In addition to this little resolu- tion was passed in the morning that will mean little more money for the attaches The resolution directs the chief clerk to select the attaches
 who are to work at night by turns night sessions being provided for, and it further directs that they be paid for their overtime. The resolution was introduced by Babbitt( of Mari copa. chairman of the appropriations committee and passed through the first reading.
 During the committee of the whole discussions the code bills from the senate numbered 122, 123. 124 and 131 were approved. as were also H. B 93 go and 97. all code bills.
 It was not all done however as easily as it is to read it. When the general county division bill from the senate. known variously as substi- tute 25 and senate bill 63. came up Maddock. ever on the lookout for Hunt county had q change to make in the percentages that are to be expressed for or against q county division in a special election called by the board of supervisors. The number of people necessary in cer- tain district before county may be erected was changed from 150 to 400, and the thirty per cent whose votes for the proposition were necessary in the part of the old county to be left was changed to fifteen per cent. The bill was amended and approved ac- cordingly.
 one of the features of the entire session occurred when Secretary of State Osborn spoke to the committee from the floor of the house in support of the Irvine house bill 50 for re- sulation of motor vehicles on the public highways. The bill provides for the payment of a chauffeurs li- cense, to which Rabbit twice object ed It also calls for an examination of the chauffeurs by somebody ap- pointed for that purpose and recon : pensed at 8 per day for his time. i Jacobson objected to this on the ] ground that it would create one more 1 job The bill took up a lot of discus i sion without any definite end It was finally however sent back to the com mittee on good roads for further fix | ing.
 There was d night session but ow- ing to the fact that many of the bills require tWO-thirds vote, being emergency bills, and two thirds oi | the members were not present. the bills were just read in open session and the vote was not taken.
