4 new disease Of cucumbers, known

New Rural SCHOOLING,

The old district school is rapidly
disappearing, and modern and attrac-
tive schoolhouses. thoroughly equipped
with proper apparatus are spring
ing up everywhere. A new type
of teacher will shortly supersede the
average rural schoolmistress Of the
past. She will be country born and
bred. with both high and normal
school education. and she will be .
lover Of country life Her aim will be
to better existing conditions in the
country. coupled with strong desire
to save these boys and girls for the
farm. A teacher governed by these
motives. and possessing strong per-
sonality. will accomplish much In this

Control Measures.
Judging from the nature Of the dis
ease and from the preliminary expert
ments thus far carried out, the remedi-
nj measures indicated BY our present
knowledge are ~ the eradication or
control Of insect pests which act ~
carriers Of the disease, and (2) the
application Of sanitary measures 10
eliminate the sources of infection. To
be most effective, these methods must
be carried out by all the farmers Of
community. ~e s'
Rigid insect control measures should
be started as soon as the plants are
up and continued throughout the sea-
son. especially previous to the begin
ming Of picking, and all mosaic d.
seased plants pulled and destroyed, n
well as plants with which they have
come in contact.
Owing to the fact that greenhouse
conditions are much more completely
under control than field conditions, 1t
would seem an easier task to control
the disease there. As previously stat
ed for field control, all disease plants
should be pulled and destroyed rs
soon as found and the insects should
be eradicated to prevent their spread
ing the disease.

the leaves brown and die back from
the tip.
The fruits are very conspicuously af-
tected, being dwarfed, more or less mot
tied or blotched with areas Of darker
green on background of light green,
greenish yellow, or almost white. La
the most decided cases the green areas
are raised and appear as definite warts
or protuberances, sometimes Of consid-
erable size, and the fruits take on
many abnormal shapes. In some cases
the fruits are most white, hence the
name white pickle" This name prob
ably is due to confusion of this dis
eased condition with the white or al
bino plants which typically bear white
colOred pickles, and which have been
known to occur occasionally in fields
for many years. The discoloration and
warty condition Of the fruits, which
often appear on cucumbers not more
than an inch or two long, render them
unfit for picking purposes, SO that in
addition to the great reduction In yield
caused by the disease, many, If not all,
OF the fruits produced by diseased
vines are unmarketable.

What Kind of Friend Are You?

What is friend? I will tell you. It is person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can go naked with him. He seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He does not want you to be better or worse. When you are with him you feel as a prisoner who has been declared innocent. You can say what you think, express what you feel. He is shocked at nothing, of tended at nothing, so long as it is genuinely you. He understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. With him you breathe free You can take off your coat and loosen your collar You can avow your little vanities and envies and hates and vicious sparks, your meanness and absurdities, and in opening them up to him they are lost, dissolved in the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands. You do not have to be careful. You can abuse him, neglect him, berate him. Best of all you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you. He is like fire, that purifies all you do. He is like water, that cleanses all you say. He is like wine that warns you to the bone. He understands, he un- derstands, he understands. You can weep with him, laugh with him, sin with him, pray with him. Through and underneath it all he sees, knows and loves-you. A friend, I repeat, is one with whom you dare to be your self.-Anon.

Dr. k. 5. Perrin, owner of 1S7 ,00O acres of Mexican grant lands in Ari- zona, was a visitor in Kingman this week, going to Chloride to look over the big porphry copper property ot the Copperfeld Porphry Copper Min ing Company.
 Dr. Perrin is owner of the Santa Maria del Bac grant of twelve miles square, situated in Yavapai county, and also another Baca float grant in Cochise county. On these great lands is to be found considerable mineral, especially the grant in Yavapai coun- ty, and it is MT.

FOREST SERVICE PLANS
 MANY NEW HIGHWAYS

No less than $SO0,000 will be spent on Arizona roads within national for ests during the next five years, if Arthur c. Ringland, district forester stationed at Albuquerque, is able to carry out his plan.
 The receipts from natioanl forests within the borders of Arizona are $27O,OOO a year. Twenty percent of this goes to the road and school funds of the various counties and 10 percent is available when collected for roads within the forests. Forester Ring lands plan is to induce congress to pass bill advancing $800,000 out of the national treasury for road build ing, conditional upon its repayment as soon as possible out of forest re- ceipts.
 Following are the highways that Forester Ringland thinks should be put in condition as soon as possible under tnlS plan:
 Fort Apache to Holbrook by way of Pinetop and Snowflake.
 Salt River Valley to Holbrook through Pleasant valley.
 Tonto Basin to Winslow through Long valley.
 Luna to Springerville by way of Alpine.
 Showlow to Jerome by way of Pine dale.
 Flagstaff to Jerome by way of Oak Creek.
 Old Military road from Prescott to Camp Verde and Fort Apache
 Clifton to Springerville.

RANGE WAR MAY BREAK
 OUT ALONG UTAH LINE

That a real range war is threaten ing in the extreme north end of the county, near the Utah line, which may result at any time in bloodshed, would seem indicated by news brought to the city yesterday by Walter Brown we'll known here as former sheriff, and who is now owner of large cat tie ranch near the Utah line, and Ed Franklin, deputy sheriff ranger, and who also has ranch in the north end of the county.
 According to Brown and Franklin, party of 25 to 30 sheepmen, armed with winchesters and revolvers, rode up to the latter's ranch and cut the wire fences, pulled up the posts and generally destroyed the confines of the ranch, which enclosed several water holes.
 It is these holes that are the bones of contention between the cattle and s1ecp iutu, WiiO range CjiciI SlONh III that part of the county. The sheep men, it is said, consider the water holes public property, while the cat tlemen,. having taken up the land un- der government provisions, have fenced in the water sources on the property claimed by them.
 The sheepmen have given notice, it is declared, that unless these water holes are left open, trouble of se- rious nature will follow. The cattle men declare that their stock cannot graze where sheep have been brows- ing, and that the cattle will not drink at holes used by sheep, hence their ac- ton in fencing in the water supply
 Both Brown and Franklin are de- termined to protect their holdings, and the sheepmen, it seems, are equal ly determined that the, water holes shall be left unfenced. As result, bitter enmity has been engendered which may precipitate sanguinary clash at any time.-Kingman Mineral Wealth.
