A RACIAL TRADITION COSTLY

The chief reason, almost the only reason, against adopting the principle of universal service in England was that il was against Anglo Saxon tra- dition. For year and a half England has let this tradition keep her from doing her best. It is merely specula- tive to try to analyze what this tradi- tion was ever worth even if it were permanently maintained. And from the first it has been reasonably certain that conscription must come before the war was over if England was to do her utmost in bringing about d de- cision.
 There are many people in this coun- try who believe that universal service in peace times is necessary for the proper defense of the country. The majority do not, but it does seem the part of wisdom to provide in our de- fense program for the instant univer- sal service in time of war The eX- perience of our own Civil war and Eng lands present experience make it plaiu enough that it is wiser to face the sit uation first rather than last and much more effective and cheaper in human life.

Cityus Fruit M AWzOn0

apparently seedlings which produce fruit of excellent quality are also to be met with occasionally in Arizona citrus groves. These vary in produc- tiveness. In one case a tree which produces fruit of an excellent quail itv is not a regular bearer It is very desirable therefore for citrus planters t. make close inquiry into the souIce of the budWood used by the nurserYmen who offer Arizona grapefruit for sale,
 Nearly three years ago in writing an article on the citrus industry in Arizona for an eastern magazine the writer took occasion to call attention to certain seeding orange trees found in several of the old orchards in the Salt River valley These he predicted would bc the source of an Arizona orange better adapted to Arizona cit rus growing sections and to Arizona conditions than is the Washington navel Some of these seeding orang- es are juicier than the best navels. ripen earlier and the trees produce heavier and more regular crops Re gently the first move has hceu made toward the use of selected Arizona seedlings for propagation purposes anI arrangements have been made i for establishing real Arizona variety of orange.

FARMERS WARNED AGAINST BUILDING
 HOMES IN WASHES

Prof c. F. P Smith. irrigation engineer of the University of Ari- zona, has returned from an inspec- tion trip through the flooded districts between Los Angeles and San Diego and along the lower Gila and Colo rado rivers. Professor Smith states that not only have bridges. large and small disappeared, but thousands of acres of valuable orchard. alfalfa. and sugar beet land have been erod- ed or buried beneath from two to five feet of river debris and sand. Scores of houses have been washed away and many others have been un- de"mined, twisted and left in slop- ing positions on the river banks. There was considerable loss of life also, part of this being due to the sloWness of people in leaving their homes even after they had been warned.
 Professor Smith states that he per sonally knows of ranchers in the Sulphur Spring, Casa Grande, Ante lope, and other valleys in Arizona who are inviting similar misfortune ny building their farmsteads in the Eery center of draws or on exposed and unprotected flood plains Much is being said about the unprecedent- ed character of the recent floods. and false hopes are held out that such floods will not recur False hopes-the floods will come again. and to advice otherwise would be to lnll the settlers to a feeling of secur- ity in the face of danger. The floods ar" greater now than they were thir- ty years ago, because of defOresta- tion by man and denudation by stock, which causes the rainfall to i concentrate and run off more rap idly
 The only solution that seems feas- ible is for each rancher to have an additional smaller holding, say ten acres, on the nearby mesa or bench land, to build his home and corrals and to store his crops and keep his stock there, and to use the small tarmstead as a base of operations from which to work his more fertile irrigable bottomland ranch. The farmers of Europe do not live upor their lands, but in little villages, and
 thus they are not deprived of socia
 life, as is the average American far 1 mer's family. The benchlands have additional 2dvantages-the days arc not so hot nor the nights so colo as on the flood plains there is gooC slope for drainage, good air circula / tion, and sanitation and health vii
 be improved
 In few cases the flood plain arcf
 may be broad enough to justify tn, i building of expensive levees. Blu
 levees are not proof against danger
 The villages which spring up il
 ranching communities should in al cases be located on safe ground.

The average cost of maintaining pa tients for the year has been $l4.56 week. The average paid by each pa tient has been $1114. The average number of patients during the year has been 24. The number now in the home is 33

tion between the growers in the mar lleting of fruit. Practically every citrus grower in the Salt River val ley is now q member of the Arizona Orange Association. In the course of a membership camTaign conducted ny the association last fall, figures were produced showing that the in dependent shipper had almost invari- ably failed to receive as good prices as had those growers who had mar keted through the association. Il was further shown that the independent shippers prices tended to reduce the normal returns from cooperative mar keting.
