POULTRY FANCIERS
MAY HELP NATION

The statement made at the recent
agricultural conference at st. Louis
that tho poultry products of the
United States could be doubled within
n year means that if everybody in /.
position to help did their part $780,
h00, 900 worth of food would be added
to our supply this year.
This includes both meat for the
table and eggs. Very few farmers
practice n systematic plan of dispos-
ing Of their fowls after they have
ceased to be productive. If efforts
were made to dispose of all females
when their best laying days were over
a large quantity of poultry meat would
be placed on the market. All poorly
developed chickens should likewise be
culled out and used as meat.
Caponizing the cockercls that are
not intended for breeding purposes
will not only increase their size, but
will place more desirable poul-
try meat on the market. Another
practice that should be adopted more
widely is that of fattening all chick
ems that are to be marketed before
they leave the farm.
The greater production OF turkeys,
ducks. geese and guineas. all of which
can be profitably raised and IA ready
market found In most sections. would
increase the supply of poultry meat
considerably
The number Of marketable eggs can
be increased by following a few prac-
teal suggestions. Among the most
important Of these are the production
Of the infertile egg after the breeding
season is over. and the proper han
ding of eggs by the farmer before
sending them to market
The poultry house should be clean
and sanitary and the fowls free from
insect pests. thereby preventing dis
eases and mortality. II is estimated
that nearly 100000 worth of poul-
try is lost each year through disease
alone.

Apple scab Is now recognized to he

the future il win he one OF the big
factors that determine who Is qualified
to be an orchardist or who should
choose some other line.
Tho prevalence OF scab will depend
upon three things: ~ weather. G.,
varieties grown. ca efforts made to
control it by spraying some seasons
there will be little scab excepting on
the Mcintosh, even with no spraying.
but these arc exceptional and should
not be counted upon. In almost any
year it can be held down to small
percentage on any variety by proper
spraying, though the best growers fail
occasionally.
Last year scab was unusually bad
the worst in the history of tho
state. This year promises to be more
or less n repetition. The fallen leaves
that carry ii over winter arc badly In :
tcctcd and the season is cold and late.
No one should be discouraged. how
ever. Many raised clean apples last
year and others could have done so
had they not taken Il chance upon tho
disease no, being severe. Tho ma

they will begin now and do their

The disease can be prevented but
spots once started on the fruit cannot
be cured. Even though the parasite
is killed in them the spots viii remain
and growing with the apple become

four times; other varieties two or

STATES QUOTA 2O0O MEN FOR
 THE ARMY
OTHER WESTERN STATES RAPIDLY RECRUITING BUT MOV ENT IN ARIZONA IS PROGRESS ING VERY SLOWLY.
(F-om Tuesdays Daily.)

According to word received recent ly by Governor Thomas E. Campbell, the present policy of the war depart ment at Washington is to raise 1,O00.- 900 men for the defense of the nation. These men will all be in the regular army and national guard.
 The true military situation in Ari- zona is summed in the following:
 Arizona now has a population esti- mated at 100000, which, it is easily seen, fixes her full quota at 2,6OO men on the basis of 100000 men. The 2.eO0 men required of this State will be divided as follows:
 Active organization of First Ari-
 zona infantry - at new war
 strength, as provided in bill
 passed last June ..2,OO2 OmCerS ........-..... SO Reserve Battalion, officers and
 men ............-..- oUO
 Governor Campbell, under the new law, can commission officers only in the national guard and these only after examination prescribed by the president has been successfully pass ed The president alone can appoint and commission officers in the officers reserve corps.
 The officers reserve corps, under the new law, takes the place of the old volunteer officers list Under this corps, the age limits are fixed as fol- lows:
 Second lieutenants, B; first lieuter- ants. 36; captain, 40; major, 45.
 When an officer reaches the age limit prescribed for the rank he holds he will be discharged. The president has the power to appoint brigadicr. generals.
 It will be seen that other Western States arc rapidly recruiting men to meet their military quota, while the in Arizona is progressing very slowly.
 Congress, within a week, will pass a law prescribing how men shall be drafted to fill the requirements now existing, according to information re- gently received at the State house.
 The Arizona civil code provides that county assessors shall enroll all able bodied men between the ages of IS md 45 and furnish such enrolment to the adjutant general and the clerk of the Superior court in his county.

ADVANCE BREAKS INTO
 FULL SWING
IN A SERIES OF ATTACKS, ON BROAD FRONT GER MANS ARE DRIVEN FROM IMPORTANT POSITIONS; l; THEIR LOSSES HEAVY.
By Associated Press.


 (From a staff correspondent of the Associated Press with the British armies in France) ).-April 9-The war on the western front which has been rroving rapidly the last five weeks, has broke into full swing. Widening the attacks they had been directing against the retrcating Germans in the Somme sector, the British Tn series of assaults on broad front, with Arras as the pivotal point, drove the Germans from scores of important positions, penetrating far in to the German lines and infiicting heavy casualties. The indicated number of prisoners taken in the last 12 hours will exceed 5000. Barbed wire cages built 10 receive them were overcrowd- ed long before noon, although the principal attack did not begin untn shortly after dawn.
 The heaviest fighting developed along the line a few miles southeast of .Arras and northerly of the neigh borhood of Lens. The action extend cd far in the direction of St. Quentin. In the territory captured was the famous Viiny ridge.

MOVING HERDS ID bE TAXED
 EQU|TAB[Y
YAVAPAI, MARICOPA AND FINAL COUNTIES TO RE- CEIVE THEIR SHARE; TAX COMMISSION MEETING WITH WOOLGROWERS.
(From Tuesdays Oaiiy.)


 At a meeting of owners of tram sient herds of sheep held in the office of the State Tax Commission at Phoenix on April 5th, thirty prom inent wool growers unanimously passed the following resolution:
 Resolution.
 We. the undersigned owners of transient herds of sheep, being noti- fled that the State Tax Commission intends to enforce the making of affidavits by such sheepmen in the State, and after due consideration and investigation of the whole sub ject, during which it was ascertained that large number of afidavits have not been made-through one cause or another-and being informed by the Tax Commission that upon the making of affidavits by the sheepmen the commission will enforce the dis tribution of the taxes to the counties entitled thereto by the several county treasurers charged with the responsi- bility of making the distribution, do each and all of us express our will ingncss and intention of making the afhdavits as required by law and our entire approval of the action of the Tax Commission in its efforts to solve this problem.
 During the conference held in Jan uary with the county assessors it was brought to the attention of the Tax Commission that Maricopa, Plnal and Yavapai counties were not receiving their just proportion of transient herd taxes.
 The law provides that owners of transient herds shall, when paying their taxes, make affidavit showing the number of head of livestock and the period such livestock have rang cd during the calendar year in the different counties. Inc county treas urcr is then required to immediately transmit copy of the affidavit and the taxes belonging to other coun- ties to the State treasurer, who, in turn, properly apportions the money so collected to the counties entitled thereto.
 The Tax Commission has under taken to see that these laws arc strictly enforced and an equitable distribution made of the taxes col lcctcd, and with this in view issued a call for the above mentioned meet ing.

VETERANS INDIAN WAR
 TO GET PENSIONS

WASHINGTON, April 5. - The bill to pension Indian war veterans, which includes the militia of practic- ally all the Western States who serv- cd against the Indians from 1859 to 1891, was passed by congress on the morning of March 4th after an all- night session and was signed by the president a few minutes before the expiration of his first term ,thus pro- viding for these old veterans a reward which they so justly earned and which will enable many to spend the remain ing few years of their lives with their loved ones.
 This bill had been pending in con- gross for seven years and on being advised that it was again held up in conference on account of disagree ment. Henry Hegwer, commander-in- chief of the United Indian Wars Veterans, came 10 Washington last November for the third time to lend his aid in the fight to put it through.
 NIT. Hegwer's unselfish devotion to the cause of his comrades won the esteem and aid of the congressman and they pledged their aid in his cause which they admitted was not only just but should have been attended to great deal sooner.
 Not satisfied with this monument to his unceasing devotion to the cause, Mir Hegwer has moved the headquar- ters of the United Indian Wars Vet erans to Washington and taken up his abode here so that he will be in a po- sition to lend further aid to his com- rades in the way of advice and furn- ishing of proof from the extensive records he has kept of the different campaigns.
 The headquarters of the United In- dian Wars Veterans is sending out copies of the bill to those who would like to know whether they are includ- ed in its provisions.

TRENCH LEAVE IS TAKEN BY
 DUTCH JOHN
NOTORIOUS CHARACTER OMITS GOOD-BY WHEN HE DEPARTED EASTER SUNDAY; BOOTLEGGER ODDLY MISSING.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)


 Dutch John" has went, as he would express it.
 The old character" whose arrest for bootlegging was being so earnest ly contested by Attorney R. E. Nor rison, picked up and left the sheriff office where he was puttering around at odd jobs, at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Although of undoubted German descent, John Parents leave was of the French sort.
 Barent had been let out of the cell room to do some cleaning up around the office. Considered harmless and rather the butt of good natured ridi- cule Barent served one whole term of eight months for bootlegging, as a sort of trusty and never violated his honorable parole. He was discharged last October, and it was then inti- mated that the air of Yavapai county, famed for its curative qualities, would be still purcr and more refreshing, ii he removed himself totally. He took ttc hint and trip and chance all at the same time. The trip was to Albuquerque, \. NJ, and he ran his chance, when he returned, and, as al lcged in the information now pending against him, caused to be shipped here four barrels, each containing a ten gallon kcg of whiskey.
 Barcnt had been given his prelim- mary hearing on this charge, after Morrison had caused the county at torncy's office to revise the complaint to conform to certain technicalitics. He was again arraigned and the time to plead was set Still regarded as harmless, John was allowed to sup rlcmcnt his slender resources and aid his digestion by doing chores
 It was fine Easter Sunday, and John was working away in the shcr- ifs office The air outside, tempted :hosc on guard who had not started for church, to step to the cast door to inhalc deeply. John apparently felt tie urge of the good outdoors, too, for he quickly stepped to the west door and disappeared through it.
 In spite of the fact the distinctly individual countcnancc of Barcnt is well known to practically every per sen in Yavapai county, and his prcs- cnt imbroglio is as well known, he has not been seen. If he is hiding, hIs cover is good one; if he is mak- ing tracks out of the purvicw of the authorities hero, his tracks arc well

ST. LOUIS MAKES ROUND TRIP
 IN SAFETY
LINER SIGHTS NO SUB MARINES, ALTHOUGH IT IS KNOWN THE GERMAN ADMIRALTY PLANNED TO DESTROY HER.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
 NEW YORK, April D. Running safely through the dangers of the German submarine blockade of Great Britain and without sighting peri scope either on the outward or home ward journey, the American mainland passenger liner St. Louis arrived at her home dock today. The St. Louis was the first American passenger boat to be armed and travel through the danger zone around the British Isle since Germany's declaration of Janu- ary 3lst, and she was we'll armed for the trip.
 The homeward voyage was a stormy one. A hundred miles off the coast Of Ireland, gale threatened the destruction of the lifeboats, which had been partly lowered, and it be- came necessary to lie to for two hours while they were made secure.
 This was an anxious tune, as the stop was made directly in the normal path of German submarines returning to their home base.
 There appears no room for doubt that the German admiralty knew oi ilcr departure and took steps to dc stroy her.
