prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Usage orange, locust, red cedar, null
berry and bur oak are the only kinds
OF timber that when used for fence
posts last on an average more than
fifteen years. 1t is becoming increas-
ingly difficult in the north central
states to secure any OF these at the
prices which prevailed in the past, and
the steady decrease in the supply and
increase In the cost Of timber of this
kind is turning the attention of farm
ers to the possibilities OF substituting
posts Of cheaper woods that have been
treated with preservatives. Expert
ments conducted by the United States
department OF agriculture, and vari-
Gus state experiments have shown that
creosote Is the cheapest and most eff
f1cient preservative, and that short
lived timbers treated with it will with
stand decay as long as the more dur
able woods. In many localities there
Is an abundant supply Of cheap timber
which in It's natural state is OF little
value for fence posts. BY treating
this timber with creosote the farmer
can obtain his posts at much small
er expense than would be involved in
the purchase of wood naturally suited
for the purpose.
The process of treating wood with
creosote is simple one, and can be
done easily on the farm. The expense
OF the necessary equipment depends,
to some extent, on the number of posts
to be treated. It has been estimated
that double-tank equipment should
not cost more than $50 and single
tank. capable Of treating two lots of
posts each day, should cost much less.
The posts that are to be treated
with creosote should be thoroughly
seasoned and stripped Of their bark,
both outer or inner, in order that the
preservative may penetrate the wood.
After having been cut and peeled they
should be stored in piles through
which the air may circulate readily.
The first step in the treatment is to
place the posts in tank of creosote
which has been heated to tempera-
ture Of about 220 degrees F. Here
they remain until the creosote has
penetrated through the sapwood, the

A good way to support grape

with posts and smooth wire. Set

BIG YIELD FROM PURE SEED
Quite Evident That Seed Growing Is
Fairly Remuneratlve Business
Interesting Figures.

Whether we use registered seed,
good grade seed or poor seed the cost
of production is the same, but the re-
turns are different. Why not, then,
use the seed which will give us the
greatest profits?
If proper cultural methods are prac-
ticed and good registered seed sown,
there should be no difficulty in secur-
ing yields of sixty-f1ve bushels of oats
per acre, and in some cases a much
higher yield may be secured under
favorable conditions. This grain
should give at least sixty per cent
marketable seed depending of course
on the season. The price received for
the best seed varies somewhat depend
ing upon supply and demand; perhaps
90 cents per bushel would be q fair
average price. Some growers, how
ever, receive SIPS per bushel for small
lots of choice seed oats. At these fig
ures, then, we would have 80 bushels
OF seed oats, and 26 bushels of feeding
oats In addition to the straw from one
acre. Or to state the case more con-
cretely the feeding oats and the straw
would almost pay the total cost OF pro-
duction, including interest on the valu-
alton OF the land. The SO bushels OF
seed should give return Of $50 to
$40. II the total yield Of SIS bushels
was sold for feeding purposes It would
realize not more than $26. With poor
seed there would not have been 65
bushels to sell. Thus 1t is quite evil
dent that seed growing is q fairly re-.
munerative buginess.

M. \. STANFORD RUNS
 FUR STATE SENATE

Yielding to the continued persuasive efforts of large number of democrats NJ A. Stanford yesterday consented to be a candidate for the democratic nomination for state senator from this county. His petitions in large number which had already been prepared, in anticipation that his consent would be obtained. were at once sent hurriedly to every part of the county for there is not much time left for the cFculH- tion of petitions. The friends Of MT. Stanford said that the petitions would be ready for filing within twenty-four hours.
 MT. Stanford has had legislative ex- perience having served one term ac- ceptably in the assembly of the terri torial legislature. He is the father of Superior Judge R. C. Stanford.
 It seemed for a time that there would be only one candidate for the nomination on this side of the river. H. A. Davis, while Mesa alone has two. o. E. Stapley and Paul Baxter Bev- file. The entrance of fourth into the field somewhat complicates matters especially if a large number of demo- crats should take notion to indulge in that form of indoor sport. known as single shooting.

 Other interesting features are q number of maps of the world as it was known at that time. The territory of New Mexico of which Arizona is a part, appears in a very garbled shape. IL Is almost impossible to tell that the territory is the same as the Arizona today The rivers can be picked out by their ancient names, but no towns appear on the map.
