CORPORATE GREED

That iniquitous mine tax meas ure which gided through the Senate some time ago as though creased with the oil of Satan, is coming up in the house and the indications are that it will pass and be signed as law unless painful moral pressure is brought to bear immediately.
 This bill is the plainest discrim- ination against all state interests in favor of the powerful mining corporations, who are more than able to stand their ust share of the taxation. It not only discrim- mates against our cattle and lum- Der interests but forces upon the small rancher and property owner the apportioned burden shirked by dollar grabbing corporations, whose officers will loll in their luxurious offices in distant city and recount to their associates how they slipped it over on the unsuspecting pe-pul of the great state of Arizona.
 Can they not we'll afford to lubricate the channels for this measure to glide swiftly and si- lentlv 10 the honored pages of the statutes of Arizona?
 Consider that this measure will decrease the assessment of the various mines over $IS,ooo, 1000 over the 1914 assessment and ask if il is right, just and equitable. The answer is NO! And the an swer comes from the little man, the stockman, the lumberman, and from all honset citizens of this state who can see through the subterfuge of the grasping un- speakables and brand it for what it is-A SNEAkING ESCAPE FROM ITS JUST SHARE OF TAXATION.
 No member of the present legis- lature can vote for this bill and come out with a clear conscious or an unsullied reputation. His sanction of this monstrosity is enough to brand him corporation man throughout.

A DIsGUSTED DEMOLRAT

The following from the Phoenix Gazette, the democratic adminis- tration paper would indicate that the legislature has hardly done enough to pay the freight:
 "There are factions and taction- cites, personal jealousies and petty dickerings. The trading in- stinct is in the air, the you vote tor my bill and I'll vote for yours" system. This applies particularly to the lower house.
 The legislature is not taking the people of Arizona into its con- fdence, yet the people of Arizona were never more willing to meet a legislature two-thirds of the way.
 Only few more days of the session remain. So far there have been NO RESULTS.
 The democratic party is on trial It is her great opportunity. She has no opposition.
 Now play fair.
 Come out into the open.
 Or NEVER AGAIN."

THE HOME PAPER

One of the greatest merchants of the United States, and one of the most extensive advertisers of his time, John Wannamaker, ire. quently asserted in speeches and in interviews that the best adver- tising for the merchant was that placed in the local paper. The people have more interest in what is happening in their immediate vicinity, and read their local daily more closely than they do one from the city. This is especially true as to the ladies, and they are the ones who read the advertise ments, rather than the men. The latter are interested in the tele- graph news and market reports, and as rule read the ads only when in search of some special article. Successful advertisers estimate that twenty-five dollars spent with the local paper brings better returns than one hundred dollars spent with an outside con- cern. This is especially true when the limited circulation of the latter is taken into consideration. It isn't the size of the paper that counts, but the one that is read by the people, and ninety-nine times out of hundred that is the local paper. Who ever heard of a neighbor borrowing city paper While the local paper is almost invariably read by those who are unable to, or have been negligent in subscribing for their home paper.

It is, according to the popular song, "a long, long, way to Tip perary, but if the newspapers of the State of Arizona ever get there, it won't be with much as- sistance of the house of represen- tatives. A monoply concern with a view of obscuring the public vision as to what corporation is, recently passed a bill allowing corporations to come into being without any publicity or recording of their papers in the county where they originate. The passage of House Bill 40 by the house indi. cates with a certainty that a ma jority are for the people-if they have the money.

sTUBBLE AFTER HARVESTING
Anything That viii Thoroughly Stir
Surface Of Soil VIII Prevent
Loss of Moisture.

CBy ALVIN KEYSER. Agronomist. Colo
rado Experiment Station1
Land in growing small grain is well
shaded. This shading. with the pro-
lection furnished by the crop from
winds, amounts in practice to a very
efectual mulch SO that loss of water
from the soil by direct evaporation is
almost reduced to minimum.
The only loss is the amount take.
up by the plants. When grain is har-
vested the soil is left in condition to
lose water from two sources. First
and most important is the loss of water
through the growth of weeds; second,
on the heavier soils there is some loss
by evaporation from the surface which
causes contraction of the soil followed
by more or less severe cracking. This
permits the air to penetrate farther
and thus dry out the soil to a consid-
cradle depth. Weeds. however. are
usually the most severe source of loss
at this period.
To check the losses which occur from
these causes it is only necessary to
stir the surface of the land with disk
harrow, double disking by tapping half,
or the use of some of the heavier
spring-tooth harrows or cultivators.
Anything. in fact, which will thoroughly
stir the surface and kill the weeds will
effect the purpose. These processes
not only kill the weeds and prevent
cracking but they also protect the tilth
of the soil so that plowing can be done
more leisurely with the soil in better
physical condition.

METHODS OF FILLING sILos
Careful Tramplns and Leveling, To-
aether With Other Essential
Features, Arc Important.

(By w E. MARKEY, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
Haphazard methods of filling silos
have spoiled many thousand tons Of
good corn and often given silage q
black eye" Careful tramping and
leveling, together with other essential
features in filling the silo are i'm
portant.
Corn makes the best silage when the
majority of the ears are dented. or
Just beginning to glaze. If corn is put
into the silo before this stage of ma
turity is reached. the silage becomes
very sour or acid, and is apt to have
low feeding value.
When corn becomes dry from being
frosted or allowed to get ripe, it will
make good silage if water is added at
filling time. No definite rule can be
given as to the right amount Of water
to add, but the aim should be to make
the moisture content equal to that OF
green corn.
It is very essential that the cut corn
be thoroughly .nixed after it is elevat-
ed or blown into the silo. II this is not
done, the heavier portions will fall in
one place and cause the silage to settle
unevenly, resulting in much loss, due
to spelling.
During the process of filling. the cut
material should be kept slightly higher
at the edges than in the center. and
well tramped close to the sides where
friction prevents 1t from settling. 1t
is not necessary to tramp in the CEN
ter of the silo, for the weight of the
silage there is sufficient to insure
thorough packing. Silos that are deep
and OF large diameter require less
tramping than those of smaller dimen-
rsions
