THAT STATE H|GH-
 WAY UP AGAIN

: Evidently Yavapai county is de- termined that the Great State High way must pass through 50 miles of pine and cedar forest from Beaver Creek to Flagstaff, Arizona, and that by a route that bars all winter travel There now are seven men with teams grading and working the road from Camp Verde to the rim at Beaver Geek.
 Let us consider a moment.
 What is the design of State Highway, anyway? Is it not a general utility road built to accom- modate the most people in the greatest number of ways? Is it not supposed to combine scenic inter- est, commercial advantage plausi- bility of route, and short dis tances? Will the State Highway from Camp Verde to Flagstaff do this by either the Mormon Lake or Munds' Park r1utes?
 What elegance of scenery can be witnessed by either? What amount of all-year travel ca be had by either, and which will be shorter than the Oak Creek route?
 Let us find the proper place to put that State Highway before any money is wasted on either of the routes.
 From Flagstaff to Camp Verde, via Mormon and Stoneman lakes, is 70 miles. Flagstaff to Camp Verde, via Munds' Park and Rat tlesnake Tanks, 55 miles. Now what points of interest are to be seen on these routes? On the 55 mile route, Montezuma's Well; on the 70 mile route, Mormon Lake and Stoneman Lake, Lake Mary and Montezuma's Well.
 What can be seen on the Oak Creek route, which is about 53 miles through to Camp Verde from Flagstaff?
 Let us start at Flagstaff. After a 14 mile ride through a beautiful pine forest the traveller reaches the world famous Oak Creek, which unfolds its winding verdure clad walls as far south as the eye can see, while in the purple depths a silver band betrays the presence of Oak Creek, the living cryst cline stream that harbors myriads oi game fish in its pure and sparkling waters.
 A grade already breathed upon by the exhaust of panting autnmo- piles carries the entranced pilgrim into a 1900 foot canyon where fruits bud, bloom and set-where merry songsters liven the dense foliage with their songs and dart ing about.
 Great limestone walls rise uI perpendicularly from the valley to a height of 1900 feet or more and where ever crack or crevisse affords room some tree grows.
 After five miles of sylvan re- treats and the bubbling of springs the renowned Lolomai Lodge i. reached This rustic hostelry i. truly in fairyland of flowers shrubs and trees, and scenery oeau tiful and restful to the eye. Then the Thomas ranch half :; mile below where little streams o water play at hide and seek around about quaint house, over whicl numerous vines trail. Here great gorge, as great and beautiful as the one we are travelling, enter Oak Creek from the west and i known as the West Fork.
 On down the ever lncreasin, stream the wanderer goes until tn famous Indian Gardens ar reached. Here a large mountai rises from the very creek bank t almost a vertical height of 300 feet. This is known as Wilsol mountain and on its perpendicula sides are some of the finest rocl sculpture nature ever attempted.

The Rosy Apple Aphis
(Aphis Sorbi)

Measured by its immediate effects
the rosy apple aphis is the most dan
gerous Of the plant lice. The IN
checked presence of this species in the
spring Of the year results in a worthless
crop OF stunted and gnarled fruit al
harvest time. The species is increas-
ingly prevalent in the irrigated orchards
OF the Northwest, and already many
millions OF boxes Of fruit have been
destroyed through its working. For
tunate it is that control OF the species
is easy if undertaken in time.
Unlike the common but less danger
Gus green aphis Of the apple, aphis
sorbi neglects the new growth to work
in and about the blossom clusters.
The overwintering eggs hatch just as
the buds are opening, about March /,
producing powdery, bluish-green lice.
These aphids work down into the de-
veloping leaves, poisoning them and
the future fruit, and later give birth to
lice which finally become pinkish in
color. In June blackish winged in
dividuals appear, to fly from the apple
trees, which then are free Of aphids IN
til the return migration in the fall. In
the meantime the poisoned apples grow
but little, but ripen early as dwarfed,
irregular, tasteless caricatures Of fruit,
hanging on to the branches to testify
to the destructiveness Of the insect.
The customary sulphur-lime spraying
as given in March fails to destroy both
the eggs and the Matched young oil
this aphis. To become effective
against plant lice this spray should con-
tain tobacco, as in the form Of Black
leaf 40, one part TO nine hundred.
Recent experience in California war
rants the recommendation OF fall spray
ing with weak oil emulsions as the
most dependable treatment. The
winter eggs are not laid for several
weeks after the fall migrants return TO
the apple trees and in the meantime
the insects are susceptible to weak
spray and are easily reached. For such
spraying a four per cent emulsion OF
crude oil, or a one to one thousand
Blackleaf 40 spray would answer. In
the latter case four pounds OF soap
should be added to every hundred gal
Ions Of the supply.

Swap Cotton for Apples? Moth
ing Doing

Southern cotton growers want to swap
their feecy stuff for Northwestern ap-
Piles; but Washington-Oregon fruit grow
ers are unwilling to exchange their
juicy reds for anything but currency
and coin. Nothing doing on the
cotton proposition" is the laconic tele-
gram OF Manager w. F. GwiD, Of the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange, to the
following recent inquiry from McAlester
Oklahoma:
I'VE understand you are willing to
trade apples for cotton. We have sew
eral parties who would like to make
such deal. II you can make them a
good proposition, wire Immediately
best you can do
The "Buy-a-Box-oi-Apples" move
ment seems 10 have been far more sue
cessful than the Buy-a- Bale-oi-Cotton"
campaign. Almost anybody can afford
to invest in a box of apples, especially
at the prices this year, and there is no
perplexity about what to do with the
fruit. Not so with respect 10 cotton.
There are whole cities and states that
mould he at an inter loss what 10 do
with a bale of cotton. The apple
grower has still another advantage in
that it costs much less for box Of
apples than for a bale of cotton.
Furthermore, the average person would
rather spend dollar for something to
eat, especially when it appeals to the
eye, than to part with quarter in ex-
change for any article made Of cotton.
It is said that the American people
are daily consuming more apples this
autumn than ever before. This is no
doubt due to the wide publicity given
in connection with Apple Day and to
the low prices to the consumer. The
apple growing industry will not make
much money this year, but trading is
active, and that is more than can be
said in the movement OF cotton.

STATE EEBIfH news

Formal rroclamations we're issued
r. Formal preclamations were issued
last week by Governor Lister as final
steps necessary to cary into effect the
first state laws enacted by direct vote
OF the people. These were the pro
hibition law and the anti-employment
agency law. Although both measures
are being contested in the courts under
the proclamation Of the governor they
have official status now as laws Of the
state, the action in issuing the procla-
nation being a parallel act to afixing
the governors signature Cd bill passed
by the legislature. The provisions OF
the prohibition bill, under its own text,
do not go into full effect until January
/, 1916, but the employment agency
measure was put into effect upon the
issuance of the proclamation.
