A Dispute Over Calves

Thirty calves, ranging in age
from six months to year, which
were conhscated by County Ranger
Tom Burts on the ground that they
were "dogies;" formed the bone of
contension in a legal dispute in the
court of Justice O. L. Pease Thurs
day afternoon.
The calves were seized in the
Pantano section, near the property
CT the Empire Land and Cattle
Company. Burns taking possession
of them in his capacity as inspector
for the State Livestock Sanitary
Board. The claims was that the
calves were not owned legally by
the men whose brands they bore,
but were orphans which had been
taken forcefully from their mothers.
or the mothers of which had died.
F. Figueroa, F. Estrada and Juan
Lopez, cattlemen of the Pantano
and Greatervi1le sections, filed suit
claiming ownership of the cattle.
After hearing the evidence, Justice
Pease returned nineteen of the
calves to these men, but declared II
of them forfeited BECAUSE they had
been improperly branded and were
not identified as the property of
these men
Figueroa claimed 19 calves and
was given back 10 of them. Es-
trada and Lopez forfeited one each.
The cattlemen gave notice of ap-
peal to the superior court, and ap-
piled for a writ Of prohibition in

Remedy for Poisonous Bites

The Stafford Bulletin tells of a
man, Mr.. c. P. Schroeder, living
near that place, who was cured of
a rattlesnake bite by using prickly
pear cactus He was bitten on the
hand by a rattler and remembering
that an old timer had told him that
the pricklv pear would take the
poison out, he cut piece from the
cactus and opened it, putting the
inside next his hand. The swell
ing stopped almost Immediately,
and in a few hours began to 60
down. At night he put another
slab on. He was able to keep on
working and suffered no inconven-
ience whatever from the bite. Mr..
Schroeder claims the cactus is good
to take the poison out Of any kind
of bite. He has had experience in
using it on scorpion bites, as we'll
as the rattlest1ake bite.

The University of Arizona

Announcement has recently been
made that the Collegiate Club of
Tucson, the Tucson Woman S
Club and the Alumni Association
of the University of Arizona have
provided scholarships for engineer
ing students of the University for
next year. These organizations
recognize the great need for men
trained as engineers caused by the
present war situation, and also the
fact that many students will be de-
TERED from attending college be-
cause of financial difficulties. The
giving of these scholarships by
these associations, one state wide
and the other two local, lends a
suggestion to other organizations
of a similar character, that they
may possibly be able to do some
thing along the Same line. With
the same object in view, that of
helping more men to get training
for engineers, the University is
making plans for increasing the
number of possibilities for student
employment.

Fish on the Farm

cotton, Barley, alfalfa and Other
crops of the Salt River Valley over

game warden.
In studying the conservation of
food production, and supplies, "
Says Mr.. Prochaska, tie govern
neut is experimenting largely in
the raising of fish on a scale posi-
BILE Oh the average farm in this
valley, and with the view Of max
ing it not only a means OF subsist-.
ence but one of revenue.
The Arizona game warden's s
Office is in communication with the
government at the present time,
the particular department being the
bureau of fisheries, to learn what
species of fish and il, what number
may be obtained for propagation
on the farms of the Salt River Val
ley. This office will also start a
campaign to encourage the farmers
to build fish ponds of All acre or
less in extent.
We have the cold figures of the
:, government experts to show the
farmers of this valley that in stock
ing and maintaining an acre fish
pond they can bring in a revenue
! which for the expense and labor
involved equals and in many cases
exceeds that of any other crop they
tcould produce on the same extent
or ground.
+ : One particular experiment
! shows that an exact acre of ground
made into fish pond, six feet il,
! depth was stocked with 5000
black bass, sunfsh, catfish, shad
and a few gold fish These were
left alone for three years. but were
I fed regularly with chopped meat,
corn and scraps.
At the end of three years the
pond produced 26,448 fish, which
weighed 6,799 pounds. Some OF
! the bass weighed six pounds and
the catfish four to eight pounds
The whole was sold for sos. "a
The total expense for food was
$105. "a, leaving a balance for the
three years of 5000, or a profit of
5000 per year.
:'These results, - said Mr.. Pro
clraska, lshould encourage every
farmer who can to put in a fish
pond, especially at the present time
when the government is urging the
people to produce every pound of
food possible. TO every farmer
who will put in fish pond, | will
agree to furnish the fish free of
charge as soon as / learn what kind
are the best for this locality and
have received a shipment from the
bureau of fisheries. The work of
putting in fish pond should not
be large in this valley, as the water
