Service

Eke Agricultural Extension
Service
Great benefit is being rem
dered Arizona farmers by the
Agricultural Extension Ser
vice through the county agri-
cultural agents of the differ
ent counties and in various
other ways. Each county
agent adapts his efforts to a
great extent to the problem
or condition most needing
attention, although there is
much general routine work
common to all of the counties
where agents are employed.
Following is a synopsis OF
what has been accomplished
in Cochise county during the
month of October.
County Agent A. L. Pascha1l
spent a portion Of the month Of
October in the completion of the
: Agricultural resource survey of the
county.
Following this, two complete
circuits Of meetings of the county
we're carried through, the first a
adsies Of demonstrations by Mrs.
Mary P. Lockwood, State Leader
of Home Demonstration Agents,
at which hours made from home
grown feterita, kafflr and milo
was shown. There being no mills
in the county for grinding these
grains, a small hand grinder was
carried along. the grains ground
and the further utilization Of these
crops encouraged. A wide variety
of the war breads were shown and
other conservation demonstrations
held
The latter part of the month a
series of local community fairs was
conducted throughout the county,
Mr., Pascha11 and the accompany
ing extension specialists helping in
the awards.
Very fine work has been done in
stimulation of better seed selection
and many demonstrations were
conducted with seed selection CO.
operators.
A very practical circular by Mr..
Pascha1l on Crop Improvement Of
the Standard Crops of Cochise
County was circulated to about two
thousand farmers in the county.
Other projects given attention
were increased wheat planting, silo
building and filling, fall p1owing
and crop rotation. Young animals
in several herds of cattle were vac
cinated for blackleg. Numerous
articles were furnished Cochise
county farmers through the local
papers. Meetings and fairs were
held under the auspices of local
Farm Improvement Associations.

American Railroad Men on the
Fighting Front

ESIAGIAAS KOAGb
A correspondent at American
Field Headquarters in France tells
Of the advent of the American rail
road men on the fighting front.
Somewhere in an active sector,
the American Railroad Engineers
are running trains right up to the
front. They were the first Ameri-
can regiment to come under shell
fire in the Great War.
An entire railroad system, from
the general manager S office to the
beat of the lonely track walker has
been handed over to the Sammies
by the French War Office. Trains
manned by American boys are
moving on strict schedule, carry
ing shells for the guns and food for
the French troops, and the daily
movement of poilus going forward
or coming back on leave to rest.
Temporarily the regiment is
loaned to the French for the oper
alton of that railroad. The Sam
mics may stay Oh the job there for
the duration of the war, or they
may be shifted to some other line,
They get French rations and their
road is a part of the French sys-
TEN. But they wear their own
uniform, draw American pay, and
run the road by their own method,
which means economy of man
power.
At some points their line is
within range of the Boche guns,
and shells drop at random along
the right of way. At night there
is danger of Boche aeroplanes slip
ping through the tight French air
patrol and bombing the Sammies
at work. This has happened, but
SO far our troops have had no cas-
ua1ties.
/ was with the engineers last
night when they marched to the
troop train to move forward. The
move was made without any un-
necessary sound to guide BoChe
air raiders. Along pitch dark
streets they swung through town
to the music of their own hob
nails beating on flint pavement.
The bandsmen were there with
their horns stnothered in green XII
monas to prevent the moonlight
from g1inting on the brass.
The American commander kept
the time of departure secret SO
that half the town would not stay
awake till one a. IN. to see his boys
off.
Breaking into single file the
Sammies stepped out of the dark
ness into the American Red Cross
buffet at the railroad station, stow
ed away their rifles and steel he'll
NETS and lined up for free chow.
Fifteen American women worked
like biscuit pushers in a beanery,
and when they began to lose
ground against the crush of hun
cry Sammies the colonel himself
jumped behind the counter and
poured coffee out of a big pail.
There wasn't much time. The
troop train g1ided into the station,
the Sa1nn1ies piled in, forty to a
car, and the officers clanbered into
their coach.
Up forward the whistle footed
cautiously, lantern flashed and
the train moved out carrying the
first American Sammies to the
front

The question of whether or
not Cochise county is to have
good improved roads will be
put squarely "up' to the
people of the county. The
citizen commissioners have
done the preliminary work,
but at the bond election next
month it must carry by the
affirmative vote of the quail
fled voters. And that it will
carry there is little reason to
doubt.

men Of every known tree and shrub
which grows in Indiana soon will
be growing in the Indiana forest re-
serve, near Jeffersonville. Under the
direction Of Charles ID. Dean, state

| trees and shrubs is going forward
rapidly. The object of the work is
to ascertain and make public the ex-
act conditions under which the trees
and plants will gov best, and their
ability 10 Withstand different condi-
tons. There are about 20 different
kinds of trees and 100 varieties OF

work with vines also is being done.
Part of the work which is under
way is with hedges. Along the i'm

the reserve 400 feet each has been
set aside for four varieties of hedge.
Plants similar in size are to be put
out. At a glance il will be possible
