PRACTICES RELATING
 TO CROWN GALL
(Arizona Commission of Agricul- ture and Horticulture Press Cir
 ular No. 4. February 8, 1912.)

Nearly all deciduous fruit growers are familiar with the tree disease known as crown gall" This trouble is caused by a bacterial organism which at Jacks a great many different trees and plants causing various types of abnormal growths. In some cases the crown of the trees or the roots develop large, more or less rounded, hard gall. in oth- CT cases the gals are more irreg- ular in shape and soft. in others the infection results in a soft, flat callus growth from which many fibrous roots develop pro- ducing the effect commonly known as "hairy root. <"
 Crown gall is not a necessarily fatal disease of fruit trees. It is known to vary in the degree of it's injuriousness under different conditions. In Arizona many bearing decidious fruit trees have been destroyed or rendered un- profitable by this disease and all the best authorities are agreed that under all conditions nursery stock effected with it should be discarded and never pl n t e d. Crown gall effected trees are commercially worthless and all reputable nurserymen endeavor to avoid including diseased stock in filling their orders. Grown gall disease is prevalent in all parts of the country and is believed to

Fancy Price for Cattle

T. P. Talle, former Springer boy now living in Albuquerque, writes The Stockman a few days ago in part as follows: T have purchased home and am living here now. 1 made a record sale of my steers here this week. Sold them to Manus & McSpad- den, of Amarillo, Texas. at fol- lowing prices: Yearlings -$30, twos $38, threes $50, and will de- liver between seven and eight hundred head on the contract. This is the highest price ever paid in the southern part of the state for a bunch of steers. "- Gallup Independent.

THREE THOUSAND CAT
 TILE ONE SHIPMENT

One of the largest cattle deals ever pulled off in the valley was consummated late Wednesday, when three thousand one, two and three-year-old cattle were sold In a single bunch. T e prices received for the stock va ry from $27.50 for the yearlings to $37. 50 for the three-year-olds. The greater part of the three thousand head came from the Tonto Basin.
 This deal was made possible by the combined efforts of several stockmen in this and in Gila county, The stock owners have been waiting for some time for the right price and finally it came to their standard and reached the top of the Phoenix market. The stock, however, was in the best of condition, and practically all were range cattle. The transac- tion merely proves that Phoenix is no less a stock buying and sell ing center than it is a purely ag- ricultural center. Democrat.

RANGE CATTLE VAL
 JED TOO HIGH

Strongly protesting that $25 a head is too high a minimum as sessment for range cattle, Thom- as E. Campbell, assessor of Ya- vapi county, and president of the Arizona Assessors Asso- citation, appeared before the Tax Commission last Monday in protestation against a recent or der of the Commission directing that livestock be assessed for their real value, the same as all other property. The minimum assessment for range cattle was placed at $25 a head.
 MT. Campbell claims that this is entirely too hign. Complaint has been heard from other quar- ters.
 Chairman c. M. Zander of the Tax Commission, stated that the matter of cattle assessments was under consideration. Whether the commission will take any action to lower the minimum range cattle assessment is un- certain. Az. Gazette.

exist in most decidious fruit nurseries.
 Under the provisions of the original inspection law in Arizona our work was confined to insect pests and we had no authority to prevent the delivery of trees or plants infected by plant diseases. Under the amended Crop Pest Law" however, action against diseased plants is authorized. The need for this is strikingly shown by a recently inspected shipment of nursery stock to Stafford, Ari zona, from a nursery in Portland Oregon. This shipment included 5000 apple trees and the inspec- tors report showed that crown gall trees were found in every bundle of trees throughout the lot and that one bundle of ten trees included five infected spec imens. Five examples sent to the writer's office showed the disease in most pronounced and unmis- takable form. The consignees did not need to be informed con- corning the worthlessness of the diseased trees and according to their estimate, one-fifth of the entire lot of 5000 trees, were visibly infected.
 The sigifcance of this outrag- ously large proportion of worth less trees included by the ship pers is indicated by the propor- ton of diseased trees normally present in honestly sorted nurse ry stock shipped into this state. In is admittedly practically jim possible to prepare large ship ment of decidious nursery stock and eliminate all trees visibly in- fected with crown gall if the dis ease is present in the nursery. Nevertheless, the inspection of many carloads of decidious fruit stock from reliable western nurs- cries has resulted in finding less than one-tenth of one per cent of the trees visibly infected by this disease. A representative of a well known Oregon nursery, re- gently called at the writer's of flee and upon being shown the five specimens of diseased trees from the Stafford shipment, re- ferred to above, stated that he would be willing to guarantee a customer against as many typical crown gall infected trees in an entire car lot. In car lot of ten thousand trees this would repre- sent one-twentieth of one per cent. At the rate of the Stafford shipment, however. there would be two thousand vjsibly infected trees in a car lot of ten thousand.
 The Arizona law gives specific discretionary powers to the in- spectors acting under the direc- tions of the State Entomologist.

Among the yeomen of the guard popularly known as beefeaters, at the Tower of London. is one who has earned for himself fame as weather prophet,

 He scornfully denied that his sen sitiveness had anything to do with a predilection to corns or a tendency to rheumatism. No" he said; T put it down to an attack of ague had years ago when I was in India suppose 1t turned me into a sort of barometer. Anyhow. as soon as the weather changes, If only trifle, 1 always get a warning

DIRlGIBLE ON THE RAMPAGE
Kills One Man and Causes Havoc of All Descriptions Before It Is
 Wrecked.

The strength and lifting power of balloons Is seldom realized by the reading public until an air craft sud denly demonstrates it's possibilities by cutting up capers without the guiding hand of a pilot
 This was forcibly brought out at the recent (also its last flight of the Ger man dirigibe fSehutte-Lanz l." which sailed from Konigsberg for Berlin. but was compelled to alight at Scheid- ermuhl to replenish it's supply of hy- drogen, remarks the Scientific Amer iean. The ship was moored to an an- chor sunk six feet in the ground and as an additional precaution a force Of 300 men from the neighboring gar rison was ordered to be ready to hold the balloon down in case of storm
 During the high wind one of the cars, motor and several instruments were damaged
 While repairs were in progress 6 violent gust struck the vessel rais- ing the stern about 100 feet in the alr The soldiers were so completely taken by surprise that all but two re- leased their hold on the ropes
 One of them fell from a height of 30 feet and was badly injured. while the other elang to the vessel until it had risen to nearly 1000 feet, when be also released his hold, and dashing earthward was immediately killed
 The ship lowered over the town for nearly an hour and then gradually de seended Driven along by the wind close to the ground. 1t bowled over trees and telegraph poles in passing.
 A large body of peasants endeavor- ed to arrest it's flight by tying cables to fir trees. The straining of the large bag. however. soon tore the trees up by their roots
 When a sufficient quantity of gas had escaped the ship ,collapsed in forest with it's framework broken and the machinery demolished.

AGAINST THE ATHLETIC GIRL
EngIshman Comes Out Strongly on the Subject of Feminine lnduL
 gence in Outdoor Sports.

"Untidy. crude and lacking in man. ners is the English athletic girl" ac- cording to Sir Thomas Holdich. who recently gave expression to some strong views on the use and abuse Of sports on the occasion of the dis tributien of sports prizes at Princess Helena college, Ealing. as reported in the Daily Graphic.
 Nowadays" he said, there is a tendency to mistake the means for the end Games were meant to make one happy and strong and, incidentally, to teach one the value of good temper and courtesy. They are not. and ney- CT should be, the whole end and aim of ones existence.
 The athletic girl, for instance, Is not altogether worthy of imitation, for If she does not succeed in getting h the front rank she Is too likely to show her disappointment
 She Is not always as tidy as she might be. her methods are sometimes exceedingly crude and her manners well, she has none.'
 He added that he did not consider such girl by any means the most adorable of her sex. He had also heard an eminent sculptor say that golfing and tennis do not conduce to the grace and perfection of the female figure.
 Despite these disparaging remarks girls are still playing the game" in England.

WRITER'S DERT TO THE BIBLE
Great Litterateurs Acknowledge tho Immense Help Given Them by
 Study of Its Phrases.

The book to which English litera ture is most indebted Is, of course. the Bible, and the extent of that in- debtedness will be at least partly realized by readers of Prof. William Gllmer Perry's article on the subject in the North American Review.
 Amusing Is the story he tells to il. lustrate Macaulay's early employ ment of scripture phrase, which all the world knows the great historian and essayist later used so often and to such excellent effect.
 Finding one day that the maid had disarranged the pebbles marking of his little garden the boy Macaulay exclaimed Cursed be Sally For it is written. Cursed be he that remov- eth his neighbours landmark.
 Significant is the fondness with which the English-speaking world clings to the phraseology of the King James version of the Bible and re- fuses to accept any later and. philo- logically. more correct rendering.
