ARizONA'S GAME SUPPLY

Ia commenting on the figures
recently published showing the
dwindling game supply of Arizona
and New Mexico, forest officers
ray that the situation is SO serious
as to necessitate immediate and
decisive action along the following
lioes:
First, the prompt enactment of
the Caam berlain~H syden Bill now
before Congress embodying the
Hornaday plan for q system Of
Game Refugee, providing places
where gams can breed unmolested
and where no hunting will be al
lowed.
Second, the organization of d
Game Protective Assooiatic
throughout the Southwest to crys-
talliz4 and make effective public
sentiment In favor Of game protec-
ton These Association are steady
growing in New Mexico, active
organisations existing in Taos, Al
buqaerque, Santa Fe, Magdelena,
aud Silver City.
Third, vigorous campaign,
carried on Jointly by the state game
wardens, the game protective asse-
ciatiens and the forest service, for
the enforcement of the game laws.
Fourth. vigorous campaign Of
public education carried on by the
sams three agencies, which will
teach people the value of game, the
necessity fer game conservation and
the fact that ander present condi-
items, the breaking of the game
law, instead of being a sporting
chance, responsible only when de-
tected, is an act unworthy of
good citizen.
The National Forests of Arizona
and New Mexico, it is said, instead
of yielding thousands of deer and
turkeys each year ought to yield
tens of thousands, but will never
do SO until an adequate bread
ing stock has been restored by
vigorous action along the lines in
dicated

WOMEN

They're saucy and they're tickle, and
They're mighty hard to please
We have to cater to them all
Upon our bended knees.
They're Aighty and inquisitive.
Exasperating too;
And every man must find it out
Somehow before he's through
They reason with suddenness
That makes fellow jump;
And they don't find it hard at all
To make him look chump.
They cannot give reason for
A single thing they do.
They jump at conclusion with
No valid cause in view.
They're fussy and they're frivolous:
Sometimes it seems that way.
They're tender and they're heartless
They're mournful and they're gay.
They're prudish and they're reckless
In faults they all abound.
They cost lot of money. but
They're nice to have around.

RYE GOOD FORAGE
 AT HIGH ALTITUDE

Replying to an inquiry regarding the value of rye as a forage crop, Dr. R. II. Forbes director of the agricultural alfalfa fields for winter pasture, I will say that rye is better suited to the pur- pose at higher elevations within Ari- Zona than in the lower valleys of the southern part of the state So far as l have observed rye has no advantage over wheat and barley at the altitude of the Salt River Valley and lower in asmuch as it is essentially a cold cli- mate plant not well adapted to sub tropical conditions. Other things being equal. rye will grow little better on poor soils. but this consideration would hardly apply in the Irrigated valleys of Arizona
