Building More Silos.

Silos are attracting daily more
attention from the farmers in nearly
all states, but none more so, that
in Louisiana, and this is particular,

Louisiana has not been one OF di.

Last year there were built 400 sios
and in 1915 il is estimated there
will be erected 1000 sllos, Eco.
Monty in the use ni fodder and the
saving OF waste are the incentives
and now that Louisiona is turning
its attention to diversified farming
and stock raising, it is not to be
wondered that the increase in the
silo proposition has increased l5O
per cent. .....
Our own state Of Tennessee can
get a lesson here, and now that
our state has more diversified farm.

Dear Sir notice piece
in your March ~ issue, written by
Progressive Citizen which strikes
me very forcibly, Progressive Citi.
zen ADVOCATES the establishment oil
a rest room in Dickson for farmers
wives and daughters. This is in
deed one OF the most progressive
ideas ] have seen advanced in
long time. He or she, az TIE
case may be, Is up to date and
certainly has the right conception
OF what true progress means. The
merchants OF Dickson are plenty
able and should procure a nice
room--centrally located for the
above purpose. Provide same with
maid or matron that is acquainted
with all the business houses in
town. The daily papers and a few
select magazines, good fire in winter
anS iced drinks in summer. This
would indeed be progressive and
would do the merchants OF Dickson
more good in a financial way than
a dozen court houses or the annex
alton OF part Of Hickman Co. l
have been to Dickson before now
and TO other towns and seen ladies
stand around the stores--some with
babies in their arms, They seemed
so tired and worried it made me
sorry for them.
Hats of to progressive citizens.
God bless the ladies. There is
nothing too good for them. | just
love them and can't help IL.

Yuma Loses Case.

Because the town of Yuma
failed to file bond on it's appeal
from the judgment of the lower
court in the action brought by
Walter M. Winn, the supreme
court last week granted the mo-
ton of the appellee to dismiss
the appeal, says the Republican.
In its opinion the higher court
names over those who need not
give bond on appeal as provided
in the statutes, and finding that
incorporated towns and munici-
palities are not included in the
list and that bond had not been
filed as required by law, dismiss
ed the appeal Section 1249, re-
vised statutes provides only
that no bond shall be required
upon any appeal taken by
the state of Arizona or any
county thereof or by certain
commissions which are named in
that section.

Yuma Valley Land.

The agricultural resources Of
Yuma project lands are mex
haustible and the variety of crops
which can be grown with profit
is very large. Cotton is a staple
product and promises great
things when the market once
more becomes stable and prices
normal. Fifty acres of cotton
in the Yuma valley in the season
of 1914 produced IA bales of cot
ton of an average weight of 500
pounds. Had it not been for the
slump in cotton prices on ac-
count of the war this rancher
would have secured a net income
from his crop of more than fifty
dollars to the acre. Examiner.

BIG MONEY RECEIVED

The First National Bank of
Yuma Saturday afternoon re-
ceived telegram from their cor
respondent, the First National
Bank of Chicago, says the Sun,
that the proceeds from the sale
of the Yuma county highway
bonds, amounting to more than
a half million Of dollars, had
been placed to the credit of the
First, National Bank Of Yuma.
The excess over the half million
dollars represents the premium
paid for the bonds, and the ac-
crued interest thereon. The
entire amount Of the bond issue
is now available in cash for the
construction of Yuma county's
system Of permanent highways.
This is indeed good news, coming
as it does at the time Of celebra-
tion in cornmemoration of the
completion of the inter-state
highway bridge across the Colo
rado.
The First National Bank itself
took $4,000 Of this bond issue
and to that extent assisted in
making the sale.

RANCHERS SURPRISED

Deer, SO tame that they walk
ed unhesitatingly into barn
yards and ate from the hand,
created a sensation on the south
side of the river Monday, says
the Phoenix Republican, and
were the cause of a lot of ex-
cited telephone calls to the office
of State Game Warden Willard.
One of the first messages said
that a doe had made her appear
once at the ranch of w. H. Still
well. southwest of the city. The
animal unconcernedly walked in
to the yard where Mr.. StillWell
was feeding the chickens, and
after eating some grain from his
hand, made her way into the en-
closure and began to browse on
ahe tender foliage of some young
peach trees. She was driven off
with some difficulty.
At the Martin ranch, south of
the city. another doe made her
appearance, and manifested ne
fear when approached by mem
bers of the family. Inquiries by
telephone disclosed the fact that
the animals were the property of
James A. Johnson, and that they
were merely 'out visiting,

STRANDED Ed ON
THE DESERT
RATHER AGCRAVATING TIME HAD
ON THE ROAD BETWEEN PARKER
AND PHOENIX By COUPLE OF
PARKER FAMILIES.

B. NJ. FuQua and family and
|. J. Ray and family VINO arrived
IN Parker Tuesday and Wednes-
day, respectively, from Phoenix
by auto, had quite disagreeabIe
experience in getting here.
MIR. FuQua and family left
Phoenix Saturday, reaching Wen
den on Sunday and remaining
over night. Monday they start
ed for Parker but soon the auto
tires began to blow out almost as
quickly as they could be repaired
and by the time they reached
Midway Wells, II miles from
Bouse, something went wrong
with the machinery ana the auto
went dead. Mr.. Fuqua walked
to Bouse, from which point he
telephoned to Parker for assist
ance. Harry Osborne and John
Ryder responded to the call and
went out in the former S auto.
The derelict machine was soon
repaired and the Fuqua family
reached home Tuesday afternoon.
Mr., Ray and family who left
Phoenix about the same time as
the others, also had a bit of hard
luck. This began when he got
on the wrong road, taking one
that led out to the Planet mine,
something like 50 miles out of
his course. He finally met some
one who told him Of his mistake,
SO he doubled back on his track.
After he had made up the lost
distance and was on the right
road to Parker, his auto broke
down when about 20 miles from
his destination. Leaving his
family with the machine, early
Wednesday morning, ne walked
to Parker and secured the assist
ance of A. H. Littlefeld who re-
paired to the place in his auto
and brought the family to town,
here in the evening.

 NEXT FRIDAY

Marlin, Texas, March s1.-The Giants are now marking time until they get the word to pack up and leave Marlin fiat on it's unfulfilled promises of good weather. Only two more practice days remain.
 The Giants enjoyed a fine Workout yesterday morning, when sprlnghke conditions prevailed, but their after noon game was spoiled by the wind which was blowing about 40 miles an hour at 3 o'clock. MeGraW sent the seyra ours and Dev1fns over a, seven inning route and 4got some action out of four pitchers, but the pastinne was a, sort of burlesque.
