There will be no extension of time

Considerable confusion resulted re-
Gently because of the fact that city
taxes were granted an extension. This
action was taken on the part of the
council in order to make money easier
for citizens and merchants because
of the proximity of the holidays. The
city, having sufficient funds to meet

Although the explanation was infor-

ARIZONA LAW CAUSES
RUSH FOR CITIZENSHIP

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 24.-Since
the passage of the law discriminating
against foreigners and requiring that
employers of labor shall have in their
employ not more than 20 per cent of
those employed who are not American
citizens, there has been a rush for the
securing of naturalization papers.
Reports from Yavapai county show
that there are large numbers from the
mining districts there who are seeking
citizenship. Fifteen or twenty have
already applied for first papers, and
many more are asking questions about
the way to become Americans.
Many in Gila and Cochise counties
will require the same qualification in
order to continue in their employment
under the new law.

GERMAN CASUALTY
LISTS ENORMOUS

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 23.-The Ger
man losses are the subject of an arti-
Gle by the Berlin correspondent of the
Handelsblad. He describes the fright
full toll the war has taken on the
German army and says some cOmman-
ders of regiments announce the death
of thirty brother officers on the active
and reserve lists.
The correspondent visited the war
school at Dorotheenstrasse where the
walls we're plastered with the latest
casualty lists containing tens of thou
sands of names.
In Mulhausen alone, town Of about
100000 inhabitants, there are 1000
widows more than before the war
began.
A Berlin dispatch says that military
circles calculate the losses as whole
of Germany to date at 1,250,000 killed,
wounded and missing. These figures
do not include sick officers or soldiers,
the number of whom are reckoned at
nearly a half million. These calcula-
tions seem proved by eighty official
German lists carrying $4,000 names.
This makes the total of war casualties
100000 men and officers.

I HARTFORD, Conn, Nov. 24.-The
New Haven factory of the Winchester
Repeating Arms company is being
operated night and day with more than
5000 hands in. the day shift and half
that number at night. They are turn
ing out war material. The company
is putting up new buildings to cost
$500,000, and the construction work is
being pushed twenty-four hours day.
1t is reported that the company has
an order for 100000 army rifles and
is under contract to complete 300 rifles
every working day for six months.
Thes guns are said to be similar to
the standard rifles used in the French
army.
Officials of the company have been
questioned as to the destination of the
arms and recent order for 1OO,0O0,OO
cartridges, but all they would say was
that they were ordered by mission

H|CH-PR|CE SUGAR BUBBLE
HAS BURST, Says EXPERT
REFINERS WILL HAVE TO SHOUL
DER HEAVY LOSSES
Calculations of u. S. Dealers Who
Thought to Reap Profits From
European Trouble Upset by
Prisoners of War

WASHINGTON, Nov. "a. - The
American high-priced sugar bubble has
burst. According to authentic reports
from the refinery centers of the East
and the cane and beet districts of the
South and West, the refners and the
manufacturers of raw sugar will in
many cases, instead of reaping hand
some profits on Europe's war troubles,
be compelled to shoulder enormous
losses. From New York comes word
that the great refneries in that sec.
tion alone have lost between three and
four millions of dollars as a result OF
the skyrocketing of the market imme.
diately following the beginning of the
European imbroglio.
When the European conflict became
general it was taken as foregone con
clusion by those who claimed to know
that the beet crops of Russia, Ger.
many, Belgium, Austria and France
would cut little if any figure in the
worlds sugar supply. The crops were
expected to rot in the fields for lack of
hands to harvest them, or to be de-
stroyed by the marching hordes. AS a
result of this belief, speculation be-
came rife, and grower, manufacturer
and refiner looked for an era of almost
unheard-Of prosperity in the sugar in.
dustry.
The market figures show the ter
rife rise in the market that followed
the opening of the war. From March
8 to May 6 of this year refined beet
sugar stood firm at 1885. The cane
price is always twenty cents higher
than the beet sugar. At the end of
July, just before the war was declared,
cane sugar was $40 f. o. b. New
York, and by August 1S it reached the
high mark at $3.50. September %, as
the first reliable reports from Euro
pean sugar centers began to trickIe in,
it~had dropped again to $685., and has
been steadily on the decline ever since,
until today it stands around SIS for
cane f. o. b. New York.
The one big element that the Amer
lean sugar price fixers left out of their
calculations was the prisoner of war.
He is the man who has set their
guesses at naught and who has saved
the European sugar crop. Every SUI
gar-growing country in Europe is en-
ploying war prisoners in the beet
fields.
In Austria-Hungary alone there are
$4,000 Russian and Servian prisoners
at work in the fields. In Germany the
number is almost twice as large. and
in France and Russia the prisoners
are being used in both field and sugar
factory. They will be kept at this
work until every dollars worth of su.
gar is safely stored.

| ing about two cars a day. It is prob
able that the growers will ship nearly
as much fruit for this month as in any
former year.
Receipts from the young groves
which are coming into bearing make
up in part for the fruit which is not
being received from the stockholders
marketing their fruit through other
organizations. There is a very heavy
crop in nearly all the groves, prospects
for the year indicating a greater yield
than ever before. Some groves have
already picked nearly as much as in
any previous picking, with an outlook
of heavier picking to follow.
Receipts of foreign lemons in the
Eastern markets have been liberal,
and there is likely to be surplus of
foreign lemons during the coming
months. Conditions in Europe make
it necessary that a larger proportion
than usual of the Sicily lemons be
marketed in the United States.
Heavy Shipments
With the heavier shipments from
California which are going out at this
time, the markets are going to be fully
supplied with lemons. It is not possi-
BILE to market the entire California
crop in the West, as has been largely
done in the past two years, but more
and more of it will have to seek mar
ket in the Eastern auctions.
1t is indeed gratifying to know that
the sales of California lemons are
above the sales of foreign fruit. and
especially is this true of the shipments
from San Dimas. In October an aver
age price received was $3.50 per box
above the average received for for
eign lemons in New York city. The
average f. o. b. price was $1.75 above
that received in New York for foreign
lemons.

The ginning for the period from
November 1 to IA established a record
of 1,795,626 bales, exceeding last year

CITRUS EXPERIMENTAL FARM TO

Investigation of Different Fertilizers
Given Much Time and Study
Alfalfa at $3.50 a Ton Is

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24.-Professor
Herbert John Webber, director of the
state citrus experimental station at
Riverside, in an address on "The I'm
portance of Agricultural Investments
in Southern California; said:
agriculture is the foundation of all
industries. We are daily discovering
new laws and new ways of attacking
things. AS you come to consider the
industries in California, we are pio-
neering in agricultural industries. 1t
is a pioneer development. The prob
lem of country permanently succeed
ing that has to depend upon irrigation
has been seriously questioned by vari-
GUS authorities and in various coun-
tries, but this simply means that we of
California must apply ourselves to a
solution of the problem and the evolv-
ing of methods that will definitely de-
termine permanent success.
"We should study the questions sci
entifically. I believe California, Ari-
zona and New Mexico can be great
agricultural states. If we succeed,
these agricultural Industries must be
self-supported and able to carry their
own weight.
eve must have Investigations on fer
tilization. If these had been done
ago the state might have saved mil
lions of dollars. At our. experimental
station we lay out several plats and
treat them separately; some are treat
ed with certain fertilizer, some with
another, and some are not treated at
oil
necessary. 1t is a waste of money. In
the cary development of Southern Cal
ifornia groves no potash is necessary
in fertilization. But nitrogen is a fac
tor that we must apply. We can get
this nitrogen from the growing of
cover crops. I don't see why every
man who grows oranges should not
grow good cover crop. When alfalfa
gets down to as low as $3.50 per ton
it is worth that much for a nitrogen
fertilizer for groves.
There are $50 varieties of orange
and lemon trees ready for setting out
in our new experimental station. 1
see no reason why we should not de-
velop better fruit than is grown any
where else.
"The opportunities are here for de-
velopment. We have the opportunity
to experiment with the avocado and
develop the date. No reason why we
should not introduce the mangoes, and
the development of the new fruit
known as the 'tangelo,' a hibridization
of the tangerine and the pomelo.
There are plenty of agricultural
problems remaining for your solution.
Let each fruit grower carry on his
own experimental work.
