EXCHANGE MAKES REC
ORD APPLE RETURNS

Record returns were made Monday by
the Fruit Growers Exchange on early
apples. The concern distributed among
is shippers of Kings, which were sold
to the South American export trade,
the net sum of 81 so per box for extra
fancies end Sl.30 per box for fancy
grade. The apples rolled from Hood
River about two weeks ago.
The Exchange is now receiving re-
turns on five carloads of pears, and dis
tribution is being made to growers.
The pools on the apples have been
closed.
''If we continue to get in our returns
on apples in this manner" says Ken
meth Mckay, there will be no neces.
sity of an advance to growers. Such
sales are almost like cash on demand.
Still we have made provision to advance
substantial sums to our growers or
later pools.
"Our pears have all sold at top prices
and we have received orders for twice
as many carloads as we can fill. "

ST. PAUL CORN SHOW
AFTER LOCAL PRODUCT

The promoters Of the st. Paul First
National Corn Show have expressed
themselves as eager to have an exhib-
it from the Hood River Valley. Dur
ing this summer the First National
bank, of st. Paul, wrote to 4. o.
Blanehar, asking that be take the mat
ter up with local corn growers. Mr..
Blsnchar turned the letter over to the
Glacier. The management of the big
corn show will exhibit Hood River
corn. announcing that 1t is grown in
the Valley of Apples. This publicity
will be of value to the community
The First National Corn show to be
held in st. Paul, December ] to 81.
1915, under the auspices of the First
National bank and Northwestern Trust
company of st. Paul and bankers of
the Northwest, has a clear field to at
tract the undivided attention of grow
ers of corn, the nations greatest
wealth producing crA from coast to
coast, this year. WhiNcompetition at
the show will be limited to entries
from the Northwestern states, interest
in the project will be national, due to
the fact that no other large corn show
will be staged during 1915. In past
years, the National Corn show, open to
all states, have been the biggest agrI-
cultural events of the years.
The promoters of the First National
Corn show have prepared to take every
advantage of this fact, realizing the
exceptional opportunity of directing
the attention of corn growers through
out the United States to the splendid
resources of the Northwest for the
production of this and kindred crops in
connection with the growing of live
stock.
The First National Corn show, for
which entries will be received up to
December lst., will be an open compe-
tiiion for Minnesota. North and South
Dakota. Montana, Washington, Oregon
and Idaho. here will be no competi-
tion between states, each state being
divided into districts in such a manner
that corn growers may compete with
associates on All equitable basis, so far
as soil, climatic conditions and so
forth, are concerned. One hundred
and twenty eight silver and "Goldyn

A distinctive feature of the First
National Corn show will be the "Boy s
Corn Contest" open to entries by boy
corn growers throughout the North
west, eighteen years of age or under.
Boys submitting prize winning corn
will be awarded the same attractive
trophies as are offered the adult ex-
Eibitor.
Farmers and farmers sons in the
coin contest territory are urged to
enter exhibits, not only from stand
point of competing for the intrinsic
value of the prizes offered and the
honors that go to the winners, but
also in a spirit of cooperation with the
management. thus enabling them to
prepare a display which will demon
strate to the entire United States the
fact that corn can be, and is being
successfully produced in every county
of the entire Northwest.

Locks and thus it became reported that
Sholl had emerged from the forests at
that town.

zona. In five of these the members
viii be competing for honors. against
cl III members all over the United
s. :tes. Over z50,G9D boys and girls
are 81 ,olled in these various clnhs
The extremes of clim ate, oil.clnva-

sible for few kinds of clubs to serve
all the young folks The wafer supply
and rainfall is too uncertain in some
OF our localities for sure crops, but
livestock can be raised Hence the
following clubs will encourage enroll
ment in all parts of the State: Cotton,
corn, grain sorghum, canning, pig,
poultry and baby beef.
Some of the objects of these clubs
are:
1. To introduce scientific methods
OF farming which means permanent
agriculture This teaches the club
cultivation; adding humus and the
careful selection of seed.
2. Members must do all the work
themselves. This encourages them to
plan and think individually
3. Through these clubs the Univer-
sity of Arizona College of Agriculture
and U. S. Department of.Agriculture
can bring practical scientific facts di-
rect to the farm and home.
4. The members are instructed to
keep itemized cost accounts so that
the profitablepess of the work can be
arrived at.
5. They make farm work interest
ing and attractive,and encourage the
boys and girls to stay on the farms.
6. Better farming and better farm
homes are the evtntual results.

AMERICAS MINERAL PRODUCTS

The mineral products of the United
States are discussed in small vol
ume now being distributed by the
United States Geological Survey
which contains a fund of useful in
formation concerning the useful min
erals and their values and production
in all the States during 1912 and
1913. THhe figures given in some of
the tables are so stupendous as to
be beyond comprehension. In one
table are given the figures for mineral
production from 1880 to 1913, the
metals being valued at $185,000,000 in
1880 and increasing to $883,000,000 in
1913. The nonmetallic minerals in
creased from $173, 100000 in 1880 to
81 ,562 900 900 in 1918, and the total
mineral production from 1856, 100000
to S2.446, 900 ,000 This total for 1913
was an increase over 1912 of more
than 100000, 900. The value of the
metals imported for consump ption in
1918 was S237, 900, 900 and of those eX-
ported $319 100000. The value of the
total mineral production from 1880 to
1913, inclusive, was $35, ,197, 100000. .
These huge figures are of general in

INTERESTING DATA ON FOREST
FIRES IN ARIZONA IN 1914
Largest Fire Covers 1900 Acres; 536
Fires in Arizona and New Mexico.

The largest forest fire in Arizona
during 1914 extended over an area of
q 800 acres and was in the Coconino
forest north of Flagstaff, according to
the official fire report issued by teh
forest service at Albuquerque
During 1914 there were 536 forest
fires in Arizona and New Mexico; .394
covered one-fourth of an acre, 107 un-
der ten acres, and 35 burned over an
area greater than ten acres The aver
age acreage for each fire was ten and
one-half acres. The big fire in the Co.
conino forest started early in the sea-
son during windy weather and gain
ed strong headway before the fire.
fighting force could get to it.
Thirty-two fires were discovered on
the Coronado reserve surrounding Tue
son, during the year Fifteen of these
were extinguished before they had
burned over one-fourth of an acre,
eleven were put out before burning
over ten acres and six fires averaged
130 acres each.
The origin of nineteen fires in the
whole district is attributed to lightn-
ing striking dead trees. Six fires
in the Huachucas are believed to
have been incendiary, as they were
close together and were started at
about the same time The greater
part of the forest fires believed to
have been caused by campers and
branding fires
The forest service is better prepar-
ed to fight fire this year in this part
of the country as the telephone
system has been extended and men
can be hurried more promptly to
the danger point than heretofore.

HOW BLACKLIST LAW
HURTS UNEMPLOYED

PHOENIX, Feb 11-When the de-
partment of labor, bureau of immi-
grafton attempted to turn the post
office into an employment shop and
a clearing house for work and work
men, they didn't figure on Arizona's s
anti-blacklist law For, on the sheaf
of blank forms received byPostmaster
C. B. Wood yesterday there were
places on which applicants for Jobs
are supposed to answer questions
enough to fill in all the events of their
lives.
The system which has been but
recently installed in the postoffce de-
partments attempts to regulate the
supply and demand for labor in the
various sections of the country. There
are two forms of work., one, the
gathering of data concerning the need
for farm labor, and the other, col
lecting the names and pedigrees of
men who want work on FARMS
Applications for work and for
workmen are received at any post
office and sent free to the headquar-
jters of the immigration bureau,where
! the orders are filled Arizona is the
! only state in which the employers
cannot expect the workmen to fill
out the inquiry sheets.
Here are some of the questions
asked on the forms, but which Ari,
zona's laws condemn.
| Experience? Wages expected? Name
Of last employer Cause of loss OF
iposition?
The quiz list sent out to prospec-
tive employers is almost as search
| ing.
