'Lipton Sees a Victory

SIR THOMAS UPTON. in a letter
 received recently. expresses su- preme confidence that the new chal- Ienger he is building will lift the Amer ica's cup. The letter says:
 Y think this time I shall have the best boat that ever crossed the Att lantic with. and I think my chances this year are on the winning side"
 Sir Thomas is going to ask the New York Yacht club to permit towing the challenger across in calm and against head winds. He writes:
 Towing cannot help the boaI-~-n strain could not possibly do it any gooo and might do it harm. The reason l am anxious to have her lowed in dead calm weather is because 1t would give me so much more time in America to get my boat in ht condition for the race.

ever since. The American delegates to the congress in Lyons will do, their best to have the eighteen inch accept ed. but the chief idea is to have all the tracks measured the same way, and 1t is quite likely that a compromise of fifteen inches will be agreed on.
 It is significant that the Germans in laying out the track for the next Olym- pic games have decided on an eighteen inch measurement. but there are many places on the continent where the Eng fish system is in vogue, Another point that will be insisted on is the estab- lishment of a permanent border on all tracks. When there Is no border the men are able to run much less than the supposed distance. which means that any record made would be invalidated. MT. Sullivan has in his possession a photograph of one of the biggest of ,recent long distance races-that be-
 dhBouin. the French amateur, and
 shows that-she professional This track without a re-was held on
 quently the men were able-en conse- l distance. oe Most of the good cinder tracks have
 permanent borders. but in England
 many of the long distance races are held on grass tracks. It is therefore
 possible that records over a distance
 of ground may be made on the turf | and, in fact, grass records are more | or less recognized in England. To tn- sure that these are correct MT. Sulli- van will propose that a rope border be used instead of the few flags which lsometimes mark out the course.

NORTHWESTERN LEAGUE
 FAST

SAYS Joe ('Tron Man") McGinnity: o The Northwestern league has record of sending more men to the ma jors than any other minor organi- zation. It is a league that maintains no aff1liations or working agreements with any other league of higher classi- fication. This makes the Northwest ern league one of the most independent organizations in baseball. It is very poor season when the league does not develop twenty players for the majors. We are allowed only B classification under the National associations rul- ings of one year ago. but by permis- sion of the association we are entitled to pay more money to players than the Western league or the Southern league. which have A rating. This fact indi- cates the real standard of baseball seen
 by fans in the Pacific northwest"

THE ARIZONA WALNUT
 MAY BE DEVELOPED
Concerning the Grating Upon 1t of the
 English Walnut

The following letter from C. R. Beid- erman, Garces, Arizona, is self explana- tory:
 c. O. Anderson,
 Wilcox, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-I have yours of recent date requesting more detailed informa- tion regarding grating of our native walnuts into commercial Persian, or so called English walnuts. There is no question about the success of it. I have native walnut trees all the way from three to twenty years old grafted in 1910, bearing fine French, German and American varieties of commercial Walnuts, on my homestead in the Hua- chuca mountains, in an altitude of 562O feet. Any person possessing land on which the wild walnut grows, can cut such trees back to a height of from to 10 feet, and graft them in the spring, or later, on the new shoots, and in four or five years, depending upon the care, moisture, soil, etc, when a full crown is produced, and secure an ex- cellent crop of commercial walnuts. Fifty to 200 such trees ought to in six to eight years after grating produce sufficient to support a family of five in frauds in the next column
 comfort. Texas is doing this now with the pecan. They have ceased cutting down their wild pecan trees to make room for cotton fields. The state sends out annually students from the Agricul- tural Experiment Station to teach far mers how to graft the native pecan into commercial varieties, the state furnish ing the scions free of charge. We could have done the same with our wild wal nuts years ago, but never thought of tt. I desire to give credit to Governor Hunt of Arizona for being the first per son, to whom I mentioned the subject, to see the practical side of the walnut proposition, hence the project of util- izing the rich subirrigated lands at the State Industrial school for a model walnut orchard. owing to the absence of any fence at that place the planting of such trees will have to be deferred until fall, but in April shall graft the trees growing along Post creek near the school, which will assure some scion wood for the younger trees next

POWER USERS
 SEEK RELIEF
Board of Trade Committee Will Ask Reclamation Of ficials Today Whether Any Can Be Had from That Quarter

Asking for relief from the power tric Company, fixed under it's late agreement with the state corpora tion commission, a committee of the board of trade will call on Messrs. O'Donnell and Davis of the reclama- tion service this morning. The members of the committee are C. b. Young of the industrial committee or the board. Vernon Cook, F. A. Jones, J. c. Adams and Ed O'Malley. The committee will be accompanied by President Dennett of the board Of trade
 This committee was appointed al a meeting of the board the day be- fore on the representation Of many users of power that their bills had been increased by the new rates Mir. O'Malley said that the month before the new rates went into ef- feet the bill of the O'Malley Lumber Company was $37.50. The month following the installation of the new rates the bill was STA All the users of power stated that lHelr HioHliiS bills had been increased notwith- standing the rates had been appar- ently lowered. But that appearance they said, covered multitude O conditions relative to peak load and maximum demand" and otheI things which, being laymen they dit not understand. But the difference between the bills of last month ant the month before was quite clear
 A meeting of the committee Wal held yesterday afternoon for tn purpose of formulating a request t the reclamation officials. It wa stated that already the officials o the Water Users Association ha been informally asked whether tn contract between the government an
Arizona republican., 1914-03-19

the Pacific Gas and Electric Com pany would permit service to the members of an organization such as a Consumers League, under the pro vision of the contract which permits the sale by the government to a sin gle consumer in the city of not less than 100 kilowats. There are about 200 users of power in Phoenix but very few of them would use so much. The contract with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company prohibits the sale to consumers by the government of less volume than 100 kilowats. But it was the opinion of attorneys who had been consulted, that such a service as has been described, dis tributed among the members of a consumers league would not be a sale of electrical energy within the meaning of the contract.
 This is the matter that will be cials today. Members of the com mittee had learned that if such an organization as a consumers league should be formed and power could be delivered the members would have to bear the expense of erecting poles and installing a transformer. Mem bers of the committee stated yester-
 day that the power question under
 the new rates had become such a
 serious one that several users had abandoned the service of the com
 pany and were putting engines in. It was tentatively agreed that the committee. after it's meeting with tho reclamation officials today the com mittee would call upon the state | corporation commission, though i ] was suggested that such a meeting would not likely be productive O | results. If the arrangement sough could be made with the reclamation service it would be unnecessary l. visit the commission If relief wa i obtainable from no other quarter, tn commission was so bound by it | agreement that it would be unable t /! afford any.

limbs trimmed before the tree is taken up. Those transplanted during late fall and winter are grafted in the following spring or summer, the time depends stocks. The use of older bearing trees gives the advantage of six to twenty years growth compared with nursery trees and 50 per cent. less expense, be- sides we know our native grafted trees will do well under the most trying con- ditions, ranging from an altitude of 2500 to S200 feet. Wherever our native walnut trees grow, the late blooming varieties of commercial Walnuts will grow when grafted upon them, while the walnut trees imported from other places will require considerable eXperi- mentation. The native walnut tree de- lights in calcareOus soil. and does not object even to a certain amount of min eral salts. It grows right at the edge of running streams, and where the water level is 20 feet or more When starting a walnut orchard of subirri- gated land, trees should be planted 30 feet apart, then the ground should be plowed but not closer than three feet 10 the trees, later the ground should be cultivated by narrowing to keep the moisture within four to six inches from the surface. No grain, or alfalfa should be planted between the trees, but fruit trees may be interplanted. Where the water level is as far as 20 feet below the surface, irrigation should be used for few years until the tap root reaches permanent water The tap root has been found to reach down as deep as 3S feet
 There are three methods of grating each adapted to a certain size of wood. and season of the year. A description of them alone would convey but an inn perfect idea of the various processes. Each step must be illustrated so as to give the novice a perfect knowledge of the peculiarities of each one Arrange ments have been made with Professors Thornber and Lawrence of the Univer- sity of Arizona to come here in April, an investigate the whole subject, take photos of my trees, and the process of grafting of the native walnut These will be used in a bulletin to be publish tions on the new way of planting trees saving 60 per cent. of work and time, with about 1 per cent loss

Persons desiring to plant walnut

Persons desiring to plant walnut trees may plant the native walnut up to about the goth of March, or until the terminal bud begins to swell Large bearing trees can be topped the proper height until the middle of May and the shoots grafted or budded in the later part of the summer. Most people will be unable 10 get scions for spring work. Later the Experiment Station will be able to give information when and where to get the scion wood.
