STOGKMEN PLAN ID ERADICATE POISON
 WEEDS FROM RANGE

PHOENIX, ARIZONA.-A step of great importance to Arizona range stockmen is soon to be initiated Great numbers of valuable livestock have been lost in this State from pois- onous plants on the range.
 The agricultural extension service of the University of Arizona has made arrangements whereby c. D. Marsh, physiologist in poisonous plant investigations,and live stock special ist G. w. Barnes, will hold a series of public demonstrations and meetings in the northern counties of the State ia the month of September, to point out the various species of poisonous plants doing injury on the range and suggest methods of relief, where there are practical measures. This educational campaign will be in con- tinuation of the work already advo- cated by Professor J. J. Thornber, botanist of the University of Arizo- na, who has from time to time made valuable suggestions to range stock men on this subject.
 In the series of meetings planned for Arizona, each stockman attend ing the demonstration will be shown how to identify the injurious plants so that he may detect them and take steps against them on his own pas lures, and about the watering holes on his own range.
 County agents in the northern coun- ties will arrange these meetings for these federal and State authorities and make announcements of their meetings, so that all stockmen may attend.
 The California tate council of Ge- fense "..s 'C' c:.tly Is.,, ed a press hu,- letin calling atGcl."c1 to the ucgeLcy of prevention of sgch losses iH their state, stating that it IS usually when food is scarce, or when animals are underfed that livestock is most likely when food and water are scarce, care should be taken not to confine stock to small areas, if poisonous plants are present. Water and salt should be made available at frequent intervals.
 Species of plants that cause stock poisoning are not numerous in west ern states, but a few of these species are responsible for very heavy losses. Water hemlOck does its greatest dam age in summer, especially where swamps have been burned off and sheep admitted. This plant is prevail ent also along creeks and sloughs.- Most of its poison is in the thick root stalk, which is chambered (unlike wild celery and other harmless plants with which It is often confused). Much loss may be avoided by the proper methods Of herding or fencing, and by eradicating water hemlOck around watering places. This plant was found this season in northern Arizo- na by Professor Thornber. Professor Thornber also reports a troublesome plant on northern Arizona sheep ran ges.
 MiIkweeds are Injurious to sheep when closely herded, or on long drives They should be cut down and allowed to dry before the sheep reach tlfem or the flocks should be driven by an- other route. Death camas, loco weed, and larkspur are also among the in furious plants of the Arizona range.

PROSPECTS TODAY BUT
 BIG MINES TOMORROW

Four men sat at 9 restaurant table in Phoenix. The talk gravitated to the subject of mines and mining and mining stocks. 4 banker (who claimed a residence of two years cnly) said: Every day I have occa- sion to turn down some mine-stock proposition; 10 per cent is good enough for me; not in hundred years would I be sucker enough to buy any of their gilt certificates"
 'The same here," said a merchant; mot a chance in a hundred to get your money back even. Wonder why these mining companies, that aren't
Mohave County miner., 1917-09-01

there's big difference. I'm for these mines, and the prospects, too. If a man doesn't want to take a chance on the prospects, he can always beat 8, 10 or 12 per cent by investing in the big stocks. But, really, it's business for us to boost the little prop critics, for next year they are the big mines"
 "Amen!" said the mining promoter; land now, gentlemen, let me put you next to the best investment ever of fered.-Arizona Mining Journal

Pointed With Scripture.

In Montpelier, Vermont, they tell
of a bachelor rector who was alone
in his study one afternoon when his
housekeeper brought him a card Of
one of his parishioners, spinster of
means.
When the lady was seated on the
opposite side of the study table the
rector looked at her, expecting her
to say something concerning parish
work, in which she was active. 10
his surprise an embarrassing silence
ensued, during which he vainly
sought to find something to say.
Doctor Blank" began the lady at
last, in faltering tones, "do you think
can you imagine conditions under
which "a woman is-justified in
proposing?'
"Why, yes," said the minister, aft
er some deliberation.
"Thou are the mani" said the lady
resolutely.
Moreover, it appears that she was
right.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Tell Him Now.

If with pleasure you are viewing any
work man is doing,
If you like him, or you love him
tell him now;
Don't withhold your appreciation, till
the parson makes oration,
AS he lies with snowy lilies DER
his brow.
For no matter how you should shout
he won't really care about it,
He won't know how many tear
drops you have shed.
If you think some praise is due him,
now's the time to slip it to
him, .
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.
More than fame and more than
money is the comment, kind
and sunny,
And the hearty warm approval OF
q Ir1eQQ.
For it gives to life SAVIOR; and it
makes you stronger-braver,
And it gives you heart and spirit
to the end.
If he earns your praise, bestow it; if
you like him let him know it.,
Let the words of true encourage
ment be said;
Do not wait till life is over and he's
underneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone
when he's dead.

wish to learn what botanists have
guessed and speculated concerning
this mystery, and after you have
finished you will be forced to ccncede
that nobody knows much about it.
That, of course, does not make
the speculations and theories any
less important, because it is only in
this way that we can get any of ma
ture's secrets. Difficulty and mystery
should be to the mind what gravlta-
ton is to the tree-a stimulus to
growth.
And what wonderful thing a tree
is! How near it stands to an animal!
What do you think of the following
from distinguished botanist: 'The
body of vascular plant (any plant
that has a circulatory system) is de-
veloped, in the first place, by repeat
ed divisions of the fertilized egg and
the growth of the products of dl-
vision"
"FCrtilized egg!" That is said of
the germ of plant. You have, per-
haps, supposed that eggs are exclu-
sively animal affairs. But here is a
scientist who does not hesitate, in the
plainest language, to recognize the
fact that an egg that is to say, a
reproductive cells essentially the
same thing, whether it hands on
from generation to generation an AMI
NAL or a plant.
And another botanist of rank
writes of 1.-The nervous system of
plants" Not long ago we had
learned visitor from India who talk
ed, in scientific phrase, and to scien-
tific men, of "the feelings of plants
Everybody knows there are "sensi-
tive plants" such as mimosa, which
shrink and droop at touch or at
blow, exhibiting at least as much ap-
pearance of nervous response as does
a worm, or bivalve, and that there
are also "carnivorous (flesh eating)
plants,' such as the Venus fiy-trap,
which catch and devour flies and even
small animals. But the later specu-
lations go so far as to suggest that
plants may possess certain degree
or kind of consciousness, or percep-
ton of their own existence and OF
their surroundings.
Taking the facts and the theories
together, then it is plain that the as
cent of water in their stems against
the opposition of gravity is by no
means the only mystery or secret
that the trees have with which to
puzzle us. They know" many things
that may we'll astonish us. How does
a tree find water, reaching out Its
roots to great distances, and even
: twisting them around intervening
, obstacles, such as the cellar of
house, in order to attain it's object?

PRINCIPLES BAFFLE SCIENTISTS.
Why Trees Grow Straight Up or Draw
Water From Ground a Mystery.

What force is it of nature which
makes water rise in the stem OF a
plant to the leaves from the roots?
This is contrary to gravitation, is it
not?-L. F. S."
You have hit upon one of the ques-
tions at which science shakes its
head and says: 81 am trying to find
OUT If trees had hearts, the cir
culation of the sap, which is as blood
to them, could be easily explained;
but nobody, except the poets, has
discovered heart in tree.
The tree stands before us in its
summer garments and it's winter
nakedness, challenging US, like the
Sphinx, to guess it's secret. We know
that it gets practically all of the wa
ter upon which it's existence depends
from the ground. It's whole life is
a defiance of gravitation, and con-
tinuing victory over that abasing
force.
What makes the tree rise straight
up from it's buried seed, growing al
ways contrary to the direction of
gravity? 1t seems to be the JOY of
life for a tree to Keep its trunk ver-
teal If it happens to spring into
being on the slope of a steep hill,
what does it do but struggle upward
into perpendicularity? 1t simply will
not lie down. The plumb-line is it's
ideal.
A shrub growing out of the side
of a precipice turns its tiny stem
sturdily upward, away from the CEN
tire of the earth and toward the cen
tre of the sky. A tree is never pros
trate until it is dead. There is an
invincible opposition between gravi-
tation and tree growth. They re-
semble the forces of the opposite
poles of a magnet; you can not make
them agree
In this polarity" may obscurely
lie the explanation of the circulation
of water in a tree-but I can not
clear up, or fill out, that explanation
1t may depend upon the cooperation
of many things, as, say the botanists
who now and then invent new the,
ory on the subject, but. always ado
to it, as auxiliaries, some of the ole
explanations. There is none of these
theories that is able to stand alone
on it's own bottom.
You will have to study a consider
able number of more or less puzzlins
subjects, such as capillarity, surface
tension, osmosis, root pressure, trans
piration, the tendency of columns o
