A canvass for the purpose of plac . association will be begun in earnest this week. and it is expected that by the end of the week the responses will he of such n nature as to dis close the length of time. approNi- mateiy. necessary before the market work can he begun. In connection with the campaign the following re- equalization of the purposes of the organization offering the stock. was given out last evening:
 First. the condition of the market as far as the farmers of Phoenix is concerned has been and is very un- satisfactory This is an admitted fact It is hard to dispose of pro- duce, then again 1t is difficult to ob- tain the return the quality of such produce demands. It is thought by many that this is altogether on ac- count of a lack of knowledge of mar keting conditions. It is proposed therefore, first, by the new organiZa tion to so investigate and report on tilc ildihet So tiitt tll lltIl1DtIS Oi the association and the farmers of the valley anxious to do business through the association will know what is required of them
 "The Condition of the market hay ing been mastered. the second pro- position to be thoroughly understood and prepared for is the necessary acreage that must be grown of any sort of produce So that the market will not be flooded In short the market must not collapse after hay ing once been secured. With the conditions understood and the mar. ket secured, the regularity of ship ment will be vouched for by the as sociation, as that is one of the prin- cipal reasons of the organization
 The rest is easy.

New Mexico Live Stock San- itary Board Votes to Ac- cept Proposal to Suspend Qnarantine--The Arizona Board Meets Today

Accepting the proposals Of Arizona relative to a modification of the live stock quarantine the New Mexico board has asked the governor of that maliy suspending the regulations as they affect shipments from Arizona. Word to this effect has heen received
 by Secretary sam B. Bradner of the
 live stock sanitary board. and will come up for consideration when that body meets today.
 Although no word has yet been re
 ceived from the Texas board, it is
 expected that a reply to the condi-
 tions for modification proposed by
 this week. Officials of that state
 have signified their willingness to CO., operate with Arizona, New NeXi-
 co and Colorado in the movement of
 live stock. ard will undoubtedly agree
 to the conditions proposed for the
 federation of the four states.
 Already proclamation has been I
 pending the regulations as they ap-
 ply to shipments of horses and mules and hogs from Oklahoma, under ccr- tain conditions. and permitting the shipment of hay, straw and fodder from Arizona, New Mexico and Colo
 rado. The new regulations take cf- feet April 15.
 Colorado, it is stated, will accept the proposed conditions. and enter into an agreement with the other three states to exclude cattle and other live stock from all parts of the country, except from the district in eluded within the proposed territory Whether there will yet be a gov ernors' conference is a question that has not been definitely decided, but owing to the fact that no arrange
 nents have yet been made, it is thought that chances for meeting of the executives of the four states arc small. Governor Ferguson of Texas has been busy with a session of the legislature that kept him at Austin. and the executives of New Mexico and Colorado, although will ing to meet in conference as pro- | posed, have not signified when il would be convenient to hold a meet ing. Governor Hunt. who could have ! attended conference earlier in the month. 1t has been pointed out, may | not be able to get away after next
 week. when the legislature will con- vene in special session. If the ar ! engagements now pending before tn, sanitary boards of the states are ac. I ocpted. officials believe a governors | conference will be unnecessary.

T0nt0 Basin Promises To Become Another
Coalinga Oil Field

The Miami oil and Development company, having complied with all
 the requirements of the law. will
 immediately commence operations :n
 the Tonto Basin Oil Fields.
 The company is composed princi-
 pally of the business men of phoe
 nix, and other cities of Arizona
 who have preceived from the first
 that a discovery of oil in the Roose-
 welt district means much needed
 impetus to every line of business in
 the state; in fact millions of capital will at once be invested here and Arizona will pulsate with prosperity. The Tono Basin oil Fields have been compared very favorably to the
 Coalinga fields of California; and
 but a short time will lapse now, in their opinion, when the history of Califofnia's great oil field will be repeated.
 On the goth of January. the Tonto
 Basin Oil company now operating
 near Roosevelt, reported discov- cry of both oil and gas; this fact
 proves that the vicinity of their well there is a deposit of oil. The Miami Oil and Development company has acquired what is look ed upon as the cream of the oil
 bearing land at Roosevelt, and ow- l ing to the discovery of the company | now operating there. this pro position carries with it much merit. I Oil in tie Tonto Basin means new cities, new railroads, new industries and prosperity, especially for Pioe- | nix.
 The operations of the Miami Oil and Development company will be watched with much interest by all those interested in the welfare of the state.
 cd and but a small portion of the capital stock will be offered to the public at 121sc per share. A small investment in this com pany may make you independent. Owing to the recent developments in the Tonto Basin oil Fields the stock of the Miami oil and Devel-
 opment Company, which is now sell ing for 121ac, will in the near future without any further notice advance to 25c per share.
 All communications should be ad- dressed to the Miami Oil and De- velopment Company. 13S North First Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona Phone 1885. gb

TO CULTIVATE SUDAN GRASS
Good Stirring Of Soil After First Crop
Is Removed Will Greatly Help
Plants In Starting.

ment StHtion)
Would like to know II ii is adyis-
able or necessary to cultivate after
cutting first crop Of sudan grass for
seed."-M. b.. Bliss. Okla.
Sudan grass should be cultivated as
soon as possible after the first crop Of
hay is removed. A good stirring OF the
soil at this time will be a great help
to the plants in making a good, strong
start toward the second crop. II the
ground has been kept clean and free
from weeds during the early part Of
the growth Of the first crop 1t will
not be necessary to cultivate frequent.
ly during the growth OF the second
crop. Just enough cultivation to
maintain the desired soil mulch will
be needed in this case By the time
the first crop has matured the plants
have stooled and spread out in the
row to such an extent that IL makes
any cultivation a much less tedious
operation for the second crop than is
the case with the young plants during
the early growth OF the first crop
Since the first crop is to be allowed to
stand for seed purposes the growing
period OF the second crop will be
shortened several weeks at best, and
good cultivation will help considerably
toward increasing the yield of the sec.
ond cutting.

SUNFLOWER DRINKS
MUCH WATER DAILY
Speculation as to Amount of
Moisture Consumed by Roots
of Trees in Forests.

Some sections of the East have had
more rain than was needed recently.
In fact. the torrential precipitation has
brought a plague Of insect pests into
the gardens. But there is another mat
ter to be taken into consideration, and
that is the enormous amount OF water
absorbed by plants. On a warm day it
has been demonstrated that more than
quart of water enters the roots of
the unassuming sunflower Of medium
size. This opens for speculation the
number of thousands of gallons Of wa
ter that the roots of the forest absorb.
The root performs threefold func.
ton. First 1t anchors the plant, then
1t supplies the conduit for the water
that is needed for the stem. and 1t at
tracts the liquid nourishment.

The organic matter in sandy soils is
held in more accessible form for plant
food than any pther soil. 1t does not
crust over and become hard, is warm
and easy to vYrk, will not get sticky

On account Of being wet and muddy.
When the land was first cultivated
It yielded large and profitable crops
and the common idea was that the
soil was strong and inexhaustible, but
We have found out to our sorrow that
a loose system Of cropping without
restoring the removed fertility has led
to soil ruin.
The question that confronts us is
bow to restore these lands to their
former state Of productiyeness with
out paying out more than the lands
will be worth when we have accom-
plished our purpose.
In the first place the sand itself con-
tains but little real plant food, but
In the so-called sandy soils we find
large proportion OF earth and the
sand fulfills the office of a sponge to
hold the water and plant food in
form accessible for the use OF the
young rootlets Of the plant to feed
upon, thus all Of the plant food is
made available SO rapidly that the
soil soon becomes exhausted from too
heavy cropping.
The great question is how TO supply
and keep up the organic matter in the
soil sufficient to produce crops. Plants
of heavy growth might be sown and
plowed under for this purpose but
the leguminous plants to which clover
and cowpeas belong have 30 far given
better results, for the reason that
they draw largely from the air and
deposit in the soil valuable fertilizing
elements.
The best rotation to adopt after
the land is again brought into use
will be three years rotation, con-
sisting of corn which is to be cut
and removed early enough in fall 10
