Selection of Varieties.
A great measure of the success with
an orchard depends upon the proper
selection of the varieties of fruit to
be grown. This selection of varieties
requires considerable care, and it is
always well to find out what varieties
do best in the particular locality, and
also to consult the best authorities in
the state. The number of varieties to be
grown will depend upon the purpose,
whether they are for home use or for
market, and upon the kind Of fruit.
Where the purpose is to have a sue

ISSUE
ALL TAKEN
And Nearly a Billion Dollars
Over-Subscibed. Great Out
pouring Of Patriotism.

The two.billion.dollars of liberty
bonds which were offered by the
government, to be sold before noon
on Iune 18th, were taken, and the
subscriptions amounted to nearly
billion dollars more than the bond
issue. 1t was a great demonstra
ton of patriotism on the part of the
American people.
5000, 900 SOLD HERE.
The Reveille reported that Port
Gibson and vicinity had bought
SIS, 600 worth of the bonds, not
including $4,000 purchased by
the Port Gibson OIL Works. The
amount bought by the OIL Works
was $40. 600 instead of $25,o 900.
Since publishing that statement.
we learn from private sources that
these figures were far below the
total amount of bonds sold locally,
and only represented what passed
through the two banks. Instead
of being about SIoo, 900 (incIuding
the MILD, Port Gibson's share In
the purchase reached the huge sum
of over 5000. 900. We doubt where
there Is a town In the state of equal
size reporting so large purchase
of bonds.
THE YOUNGEST BUYER.
This place pot only boasts of
probably the largest amount of
bonds per capita, but we believe
we have the youngest purchaser In
Master Jacob Louis Abraham. the
niue months old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob Abraham. The young
man has not done much Dragging
about his investment, but 1t Is a
fact nevertheless that he holds
bond in his own right and title.

COMMISSIONER ID REPRESENT
 STATES CASE

In executive session of the corpora tion commission yesterday afternoon, Chairman F. A. Jones of the commits sion was authorized to go to Washing ton where he will represent the state of Arizona in the hearing wherein the an advance of 15 per cent in freight rates on all roads of the country. Chairman Jones will be heard on rates on all commodities in which the state is interested
 On May 30 the lumber and fruit in- terests of the Pacific coast and inter- mountain states will have a hearing On the following two days the repre- sentatives of the state public service and railroad commissions will be heard. On June } California citrus fruit in- tereStS will present their case.
 Great interest is aroused over this approaching hearing on account of the upholding of the Adamson law and the increased cost of living. It is the gen. eral opinion in Arizona that the scale of interstate railroads is too high; that there should be leveling on a har- monious basis, after which, if the rail- roads show the need, a raise may uot be objected to. A raise of 15 per cent on the present Arizona rates, how ever, is considered out of the question: according to the corporation commits sion. Many requests have been re- ceived by the commission that it take active part in the coming hearing at Washington, which resulted in the ac- tion of the commission in sending Chairman Jones to Washington.

IN
 COAL SETTLED
 FAVOR ARIZONA

Arizona has won another coal rate fight and the reduced rates on that commodity from Gallup, N. M, to all points in the state which were secured two years ago after a struggle by the corporation commission aIe again in effect.
 Two years ago the commission, after receiving many complaints from large shippers concerning the excessive freight rate on coal from Gallup. Ari- zona's nearest supply point, to all points in this state, protested and fin ally secured a reduction. The rate to Phoenix was reduced from $4.15 to S3.65. The reduction to some other points in the state were even greater.
 The new rate held for two years. Thirty days before the expiration of that time the railroads filed new tariffs advancing the rates to the old figures. The commission again took up the gauntlet and fought the old fight over again. At the hearing two weeks ago Commissioners Jones and Beus pre- sented the case for the consumers be- fore an examiner from Washington.
 The good news was received yester- day by the corporation commission that they again had won their case and the reduced rates of the past two years were restored The decision is of great importance. the case having been closely watched by the coal dealers and the public generally.

POTATO CHANCE HERE UNR|VA[ED
 CLAIMS EXPERT.

That Arizona could easily be devel- oped into one of the greatest potato raising districts of the world if farmers of the state would make a careful study and analysis of attending conditions, is the belief of Eugene H. Grubb, potato investigator for the Southern Pacific and recognized as one of the foremost potato experts in the United States.
 Because of the long hot summers, po- tatoes have never proven a highly suc cessful crop in the Salt River valley, according to MT Grupb, but this is due to the fact that growers do not fully understand the essentials of growing the crop.
 It is the belief of Mr. Grubb that local agriculturalists plant at the wrong time To effect a successful potato crop, according to MT. Gruob. weather conditions should be compar- atively cool. The long hot summers in the Salt River valley make it i'm possible fol large potato crops to be harvested in this community under present growing conditions.
 Early spring or late fall planting is necessary if potatos are to he grown successfully in the Salt River Valley, Sdlu NIT. GTuDD. by SuCn procedure, the vegetable can be rushed to ma turity and can be harvested before the arrival df hot weather
 From information secured by MT. Grubb yesterday, there are approXi- mately 15,000 acres of land in the Salt River Valley suitable for potato growing. It is his belief that pota- toes will prove the most valuable crop in America this year because of the exceedingly heavy demand.
 The potato has a greater food value than any ether vegetable. according to the view of the export. This in spite of the fact that physicians gen. orally advise against their use. Tho best method to cook potatoes is by baking, he said.
 MT. Grubb will give an interesting address to farmers os the Glendale district at Glendale this evening.
