LARGE CANE YIELD DUE 10
CROP ROTATION.
Nitrogen Produced BY Leguminous
Crops Principal Fertilizin9 Eie-
ment in Cane Production.

Some of the largest yields OF cane
ever recorded in Louisiana were har-
vested this season. A brief inquiry
reveals the fact that some of these
heavy yielding cuts were planted in
the fall of 1915, on land which had
been planted in corn and peas. clover,
alfalfa, or other leguminous crops for
two Or more years during the depres-
sion In the sugar industry. Any num-
bsr of fields, which have not been
planted to cane for the last two or
three years, have been again planted
this fall. In some cases there were
two or three years of corn and peas,
where the pea vines were plowed IN
der one year and harvested for hay the
other years. In a few cases cane has
been planted on land where white, red
or burr clover, or alfalfa had been
grown alone or in succession with
corn and peas. This is going to give
a very fine opportunity to test the
value OF widening the common three
year rotation into four or five-year
rotation. with view to increasing
the tonnage of cane per acre. II is
fully accepted principle among sugar
planters that at least one years rest
with restorative crop, such as peas
planted with corn between each plant
ing of corn, which usually occupies
the land two years, is essential in OBJ
tanning satisfactory yields. This is
done for the well-known reason that
nitrogen is the principal fertilising ell
ement required to produce a good
tonnage of cane on the alluvial lands
of Louisiana, but the average land
during a decade or more shows a de-
cline in the average tonnage yield
with the regulation of three-year ro-
tation. Cane is very expensive crop
to grow, and all costs outside of har-
er the yield be large or small When
the yield gets to be less than ten or
twelve tons per acre, with the average
price for cane, the crop becomes un-
profitable. The additional tonnage
produced on an acre is largely profit
after deducting the cost of harvesting
the increase in the crop. This is the
primary reason why cane growing in
the tropics, where yields of from
forty to one hundred tons per acre
are procured, is SO much more profit
able than in the more temperate re.
gions, where the growing season is
reduced to seven or eight months,
and the average tonnage is CORE.

COLEMAN LAKE
 DAM COMPLETED

The Williams Development Aosoclatlon has completed the work on the dam at Coleman Lake, with the result that there will be at least four feet more of water in the lake than ever before, which will insure an abundance for all purposes for which it may be needed during the next few years. Ten teams were used to do the work and two weeks were required. Now all that remains to be done to make this an ideal lake is the work of diverting the water from nearby canyons, which could be done with little ex- pense by the construction of small ditches. This would over come any doubts as to whether or not the water would remain deep enough to supply the de- mand in dry season when the lake becomes the. summer re- sort planned.
 Coleman Lake is already a favorite picnic ground. The pine trees growing near the edge of the water allow one to keep in the shade and still en- joy the lake. The Association has chosen a place for develop ment obviously intended by nature to add to the pleasures of mankind.
 The Association has planned we'll and carefully carried out their plans and the people of Williams can not value this work too highly. Nothing will enhance the property values more quickly than a popular summer resort.
 The road to Coleman Lake has been repaired this spring and isin good condition and the ten mlle trip can easily be made by automobile.
 The Lake is being stocked andwithin a few years these will b available for sport.

 It seemed difficult for the be- ginners to catch onto the fact that the simple word "pull" would start the bird flying and the regulars had plenty of fun listening to "All right, Pm ready. Let her go". Some be- ginners even tried to stop the birds with the time honored "whoah" but failed.
 Some good shooting was done however and the winners of the prizes deserved them. The prizes offered were, 1st prize, Sterling silver fob; End prize, trophy spoon, 3rd prize, purse. The score was as fol- lows;

NATURE SUPPLIES
 THE FIREWORKS

The ordinances of the Town of Williams deprive youthful patriots from firing off fire works larger than a cap pistol in town, and for that reason the Fourth in Williams was passing off as quietly as any Sunday until along in the afternoon when nature supplied the fire works for a fitting observance of the day. Amid impressive flashes of lighting and breath catching claps of thunder, the offering of the skies was pour ed upon the fields and gardens about Williams. The downpour was accompanied by a great deal of hail that did much dam age to the gardens about town. The more delicate vegetables, such as lettuce and cabbage plants, were riddled by the hail and many of the cabbage plants were apparently killed. Potatoes were beaten down but will soon revive completely.
 The farmers from the farm. ing sections about town report an abundance of rain. but not so much hail as was received in Williams. The damage done is inconsiderable compared with the benefit that the rain will prove to the crops. A great yield of both potatoes and hay now seems assured

SANTA FE VS. TOWN
 SUNDAY, 2.30 PM.

Sunday, July 8, another in- teresting ball game will be played for the benefit of the Williams Development Asso- citation.
 This game will be between the Santa Fe team and a town team picked partly from the Home Guard and the Browns. There are some speedy men on these two teams and with a sin gle team composed of the pick of the two a good game of ball should result. The sum of two bits, a quarter, or tweny-five cents will admit anyone, man woman or child to the game and also give rights to choice seats in the grand stand. The cause is worthy. Don't miss this chance to earn the right to enjoy Coleman Lake.

Reminded of Old Times

Seeing Scotty MacDougal in the ball game Sunday remind ed Rolla Reese of a game be- tween Ash Fork and Williams, in the good old days when Arizona ball teams were wont to send away for professional players to fill part of their lineup. At this particular game which was played in Ash Fork, Scotty wore a Williams uni form. He was some fleshy then. as now and his uniform fitted him like something awful". Scotty started to sprint from second to third base, and the Ash Fork players, pursuing the usual tactics. got on either side of him passing the ball back and forth. The Ash Fork play CTS did not attempt to put him out simply kent him running, until his avoirdupois gradually commenced to get his wind, and finally Scotty just sat down between the bases and didn't give a d. what happened, he just had to get his breath.

Hanford Scott and Demas Yoder were quite conspicuous Flagstaff visitors, the Fourth, owing to their auto trouble on the way home. Chas Willis was seen doing considerable pumping, also. How happy one feels when hearing that fa- miliar sound of a blowout. But these are the joys of motoring. Ask Messrs Mackey and Goble, also the man with the fiivver whose engine was so overcome with heat, it would not go up a hill. Poor thing. There were many other makes that did some awful snorting going thru Pittman Valley on the return from Flagstaff.

 A very interesting trip was enjoyed by the auto party that went to Prescott with Rev Sum- mers, Tuesday. The rain kept the dust down as the party went to Prescott and the road was in good condition. Hear ing that Prescott had no more accommodations to offer visit ors, a stop was made at Jerome Junction for Tuesday night and the run from there to Prescott was taken early the following morning. After attending the celebration. which was good, the party started for Williams Wednesday night. All went splendidly until the canyon just this side of Ash Fork. Here they met an aftermath of the storm which had visited Will Hams that afternoon: The can unn woe full of watnr-a rag ing torrent of flood water-and there '-7as nothing to do but to camp by the side of the canyon and wait for the flood to sub side.

Miss Grace Bull and Miss Watson are having unusual success with their farming. Prospects are good for a real crop of spuds. The plants are now growing splendidly and as yet are free from potatoe bugs, those undesirable insects which are repodted by some to be sit ting on the clods in the spud patches waiting for the plants o appear on the surface.
 Miss Bull and Miss Watson have planted several kinds of vegetables including squash, cucumbers, cabbages, beans, corn and onions. The onions it should be mentioned, are from Chicago and are expected to produce a "city" atmosphere thereby giving an air of culture to the rest of the crop.
 The cutworms seem to favor the corn and beans but have done little damage as yet.
 Altogether there are four acres planted and doing well under the supervision of Miss Bull and Miss Watson, on the Benham ranch.

DR. V0N KLE|NSM|D VISITS WILLIAMS

Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Arizona, was in Williams July Fourth. He came here expect ing to address the people of Williams at a community pie nic at Coleman Lake which the Williams Development Associ- ation had planned to hold on the Fourth and about which they had written Dr. von Klein Smid. Through a misunder- standing Dr. von KleinSmid cancelled an engagement in Ell Paso and came here. It was un- fortunate that the people of Williams were not at home so that he might have addressed them for he is unusually we'll informed upon subjects of in- terest to everyone at this time, flor instance food production 6 conservation and also the work of the Council of Defense. He is an ardent patriot and an ad- dress of his would be most fitting on the Fourth of July.
 MT. Mcdonald Robinson took Dr. von KleinSmid out to Pittman Valley to see the crops and also to show him the pota- to bugs which are causing some trouble this season. Dr. von KleinSmid stated that the Council of Defense and the State Agricultural College are cooperating on work for the conservation of food and food production and will send a representative to Flagstaff to maintain an office there for the purpose of helping the farmers of this vicinity. The potatoe bug question will not be overlooked and other like . troubles will be investigated and remedied when possible. In the fall the farmers are to be assisted in harvesting their crops, if necessary.
 The Council of Defense is doing invaluable work along other lines as may be seen in the changes in the labor sit uation in the southern part of the state. Dr. von KleinSmid is a member of the Arizona Coun- cil of Defense.
 After six weeks of strenuous program in the southern part of the state, Dr. von KleinSmid said the cool air of Williams felt delightful and the rest was not unwelcome.

 MT. Mackey got into a little trouble on the road to Flag Wednesday night. Just after reaching Brannigans Flat near Flagstaff, Mackey drove off the road into a ditch. The flat is filled in at that place and the ditch is some four or five feet deep. Hanford Scott offered to help the stranded party and went to get a rope at the ranch nearby. As he turned in at the ranch road he managed to lose the front wheel of his new auto so there were two stranded machines for Earl Poison and Charlie Button to rescue in the wee sma' hours Thursday
