Beans Susceptible to Cold.

Beans are more susceptible to cold
than peas and should not be planted
until danger of frost is past and the
ground begins to warm up. They are
however, among the most desirable
vegetables that the home gardener can
raise. There are many different kinds
and varieties of beans but for garden
purposes they may be divided into two
classes-stfinS and lima. Both classes
are grown commercially over the great
er part of the east and adapt them
selves to a wide diversity of soils and
climate They grow rapidly. and. there
fore. leave the area in which they have
been planted free for another crop. To
secure a continuous supply. it is desir-
able to make paintings at intervals of
ten days or two weeks from the time
that the ground is reasonably warm
until hot weather sets in.
Both string and lima beans are sub
divided into pole and bush types. The
pole lima bean should be planted with
from eight to ten seeds in the hill. and
after the plants become established
should be thinned to three or four. The
hills should be four or five feet apart.
Bush lima beans are planted five or
SIX inches apart in rows thirty to
thirty-siN inches apart. Bush beans
of the string type may be planted some
what closer-the plants standing three
or four inches apart in rows from
ten 10 twenty-four inches apart if
Beans of any kind should not be
planted any deeper than is necessary
to secure good termination. This
should never be over two inches and
on heavy soil it should not be more
than Ia to n inches.

Beets Can Be Planted Early.

Beets can be planted comparatively
early in the season. 1t is not neces-
sary to wait until the ground has be-
come warm, if the danger of frost is
past. The seed should be sown in
drills fourteen to eighteen inches apart
and covered to a depth of about one
inch. AS soon as the plants are well
up they should be thinned to stand
three to four inches apart. From two
to three paintings should be made in

All Ewes ON Goldenbergs Saturday! Special Features.
HOME GARDEN HINTS
Peas, Beans and Beets.

Garden peas are a favorite crop in
the home garden, and as they are not
easily damaged by light frosts they may
be planted as soon as the soil can be
put in order in the spring, according
to the specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. By select
ing a number of varieties it is possible
to have continuous supply of peas
throughout large portion of the
growing season. In order to accom-
plish this paintings should be made
every ten days or two weeks, until
warm weather comes. The first plant
ings should be of smallgrowing, quick
maturing varieties. such as Alaska.
First and Best and Gradus. These
kinds do not require supports. They
should be followed by the large
wrinkled type of peas. such as Cham
pion of England. Telephone and Prize
Taker. These may be supported on
brush, on strings attached to stakes
driven in the ground or on wire netting.
Peas should be Hlanted about two to
three inches deep in rows three to four
feet apart. Some gardeners, however
follow the practice of planting in dou-
bic rows six inches apart. with the
ordinary space of three to four feet
between these pairs of rows. With
varieties requiring support this is a
good practice, as the supports can be
placed in the narrow space between the
rows.

To Establish Gardening Centers.

AS already outlined in The Star. the
Fairgrounds plan includes making each
of the twelve municipal Fairgrounds
centers of gardening work in their vi
cinity; sending the inspectors to home
gardens to advise children about the
work, and the offering of prizes at fire.
Quent intervals throughout the season.
Mrs. Rhodes stated that she believes
the prizes offered should not be with
held until the end of the season. as
greater interest will be stimulated
among the children by giving rewards
at short intervals throughout the sum-
mer. If the Commissioners permit the
Fairgrounds department to accept the
gift the money will form an extension
fund and will be disbursed and audited
are the regular appropriations for
playground work.

SCIENCE HIT BY SUB. WAR.
Two Dinosaur Skeletons on
 Ship Ragged by U-Boat.

Two skeletons of the duck. billed dinosaur, removed by Charles H. Sternberg of Law renee from a layer of rock where they had been for many thousand years, returned to their watery ancestral l.orne when the ship Mount Temple was sunk by a German raider recently. The dinosaurs, thirty two feef1ong, were on their way to the British Museum.
 The specimens were dis covered in the Red Deer River country in Alberta, Canada, by Levi 'Sternberg last fall, and dis inferred by Charles E. Stern berg, his father, veteran paleontologist.
 When the specimens, ship ped earl ly this winter, failed to arrive at their destination, Sternberg started an investiga- ton. Railroad officials at Cal gary, Canada, found that the specimens had been shipped on the Mount Temple, sunk at sea.
 Although the financial loss sustained by the pioneer col lector will be covered by insur- ance, the loss to science is ir- reparable. The skeletons fill ed twenty-two large boxes and weighed tw enty thousand pounds.
 The dinosaur was a prehis- toric lizard-like creature, hav- ing powerful hind legs, with front legs shorter and less act i've. It had a long, scaly tail, useful for navigation, and was a plant eater.
 The powerful legs were use full in allowing the animal to gather food from the trees when small plants became scarce.

$5,OoO,oGO CHURCH
 PENSION FUND

If there is any one in the Episcopal Church in Arizona who las not yet heard of the Church Pension Fund it is high time that he awake out of his speel. The Episcopal Church in the United States of America and in the lands over the seas is engaged in the most stupen- dous undertaking she has ever ventured upon. The raising of the sum of $5,OOO,OOO as the initial step toward a great pen sion scheme for the pensioning of the aged and infirm clergy and for the support of their widows and orphans.
 The Object.
 The object of the Church Pension Fund is to retire cler- gymen, at the age Of SlXty- eight years on a pension equal to one-half their average sal ary while they have been in the ministry, with a minimum of $500. In case of the disability of a clergyman at any age an annuity of 40 per cent of his average salary for the last five years with a minimum of $500 will be paid. A widow will re- ceiXe a minimum of $500, while orphans under seven years, will receive $10O a year those between seven and four teen will receive $2OO a year and those between fourteen and the age of self-support will receive $500 a year.

FOREST FEE INCREASE
 ID BE 25 PER GENT

An increase of 25 per cent in the grazing fees on all National Forests, instead of 33 1-3 per
 cent as was originally contem-
 plated, will be made for the
 season of 1917, according to
 the plan announced by Secre-
 tary Houston today. Subse-
 quent increase will be based on
 study of the local conditions
 on the individual Forests and
 will vary in accordance with
 the facts thus obtained.
 "The timber, grazing, water
 power and other resources of
 the National Forests which are
 used for commercial purposes
 should be charged for at rate
 which represents their fair
 value," said Secretary Houston.
 eff a charge only sufficient to
 cover the cost of administra-
 tion were made, all of the pro-
 fit from the commercial use of
 the National Forests would go to comparatively few indivi-
 duals instead of to all the peo- pie to whom they belong and who are entitled to share their benefits. The charge for graz ing should be based upon the real value of the forage on the National Forest ranges, as de. termined by a careful survey ot the facts and not by competi tive bids, as required in timber
 sales.
 "Whether or not the fees charged at present represent { fair value of the. forage is the question to be decided. The facts before me clearly indicate the present charge does no represent the full value O: | grazing privileges on the Ma tional Forests
 Modification of the origina plan was decided upon, th' Secretary said, because of thu : possibility of a variation in thu 2 value of grazing on differen Forests or in different localitie and because in a few instance 5 the full proposed increas' might not be justified. A speci 5 fc study, he stated, will b. made of the existing condition upon each of the National For 5 ests. Upon the basis of tn facts thus obtained, additiona increases will be made whel the real value of the forage up on any Forest is found to b. more than the amount charged 2 No additional increase will b $ made before March 1, 1918.

NUMBER OF DEER KILLED
 DROPS 46 Per Cent
Only 574 Bucks Ragged on Ari- zona Forests in 1916-Tur- keys Hold up Better.

Albuquerque, Feb. 8: 574 deer, 597 turkeys, 25bears, 29 wolves, and 39 mountain lions were killed by hunters in the Arizona National Forests dur ing the season just passed, ac- cording to the District Forest CTS annual report on game con- ditions submitted today to the State Game Warden.
 "The number of deer killed is 46 per cent less than in 1915, 35 per cent less than in 1914, and "A per cent less than in 1913," says District Forester Redington. ''It is safe to as sume that the number of hunt CTS has increased. These fig ures therefore indicate an alarming decrease in the sup ply of deer. They speak for themselves as to the need for more Game Protective Associ- ations, prompt establishment of game refuges, better laws, and above all better law en- forcement."
 The report shows that the number of predatory animals killed has also decreased. This is regarded by Forest officers as an additional cause for alarm The game, they say, cannot possibly hold up unless pre-. datory animals are kept down
 Decrease is especially nota. ble in the case of blacktail deer according to the report. For est officers from all over the state agree that the blacktail i: disappearing. Whitehall deer are holding up better. The re , port advocates a closed seaso1 on all blacktail in all places where they are getting scarce

EXPERIMENT WITH
 DRY FARMING CROPS
University of Arizona finds Sudan Grass, Forage Sor- ghums, Several Varieties of Indian Corn, Several Kinds of Kidney Beans and Early Potatoes, Among Successful Crops.

The University of Arizona thru it's Agricultural Experi- ment Station is contributing to the solution of the dry farming problem and is conducting ex- periments on tracts of land a few miles north of Prescott Ya- vapai county. The land select ed was not very promising in its appearance but work was be- gun by clearing, breaking and fencing. A dwelling was er- ected and a scheme of crop tests was planned. Many var ieties of crops were planted. Hundreds of tests were made of varieties; methods of pre- pairing the soil; manner of planting; time of planting, etc. in an effort to discover the crop best adapted to soil and climate and the farm methods which would insure crop. From among the many failures decided successes appeared, viz: Sudan grass, Forage sor- ghums, several varieties of In dian corn, several kinds ot beans and early potatoes.
 The demonstrated success of forage crops-Sudan grass sorgums and corn, lays the foundation for successful farm ing on fertile soils in dry country. While the market would absorb an almost un limited amount of dry forage a better use can be made of it The soil would enable the farmer to engage in dairyine and general stock raising.
 The University eXperiment is feeding ten cows on silage- cows which would hardly have lived till spring, they were SC thin. The cows will be carried thru the most trying part O winter and in the spring they will bring calves safely, and gt onto the range strong and flour ishing. It is estimated at th' station that the cows ant calves saved by two months
 feeding on silage will be wortl
 S29O.
 The ten tons of silage con sumed by the ten cows in thu
 two months of feeding can b. gown on about two acres O land. This silage of sudal grass, sorghum or corn, would , cost in the silo $500 a ton a , an extreme price. Ordinaril. :. the cost would be much less.
 It will be well for ever. !. farmer who is struggling witt
