LOCAL LEADERSHIP
Somebody Must Take the Initiative
Are You Willing to Serve?

Are You Willing to Serve?
National Crop Improvement servIce.l
Many agricultural plans are like
sky rocket. They make fuss going
up and blow up a few stars and
descend like the stick. The reason OF
this Is because few men can make
continued effort They will get UP a
little scheme but at the first discour-
agement, their energy wanes and
there is nothing to show for their &C.
tivity.
Yet 1t cannot be said that this sort
of energy is wasted. Like the over
tapping waves of tide, public opin-
ion is being formed. Things which
were ignored when crop Improvement
began it's propaganda, are now adopt
ed as a matter of course.
Local leadership is the weakest
spot in this work. Somebody must
take the initiative but 1t is not neces-
sary that one man should undertake
the whole thing. In every community
there are bankers, commercial clubs,
farmers clubs, oranges, Institutes, mill
ers. grain dealers and public lead
ers of various kinds who can unite
their efforts on a few specific things
and after successfully tackling one
problem be strengthened to tackle
others.

MORE BEANS.
National Crop Improvement ssrvlOe.l


A farmer in Hubbard Co., MINI
planted twenty acres of beans from
which he received 377 bushels, selling
them in the field for $1,1S5. This is
not the highest record.S
The Michigan men and the Colorado
men and, in fact, all states are turning
to beans with a great deal of success.
There are three main principles to
be observed in the control of weeds.
They are: first, preventing the weeds
from going to seed on the farm; sec.
ond, preventing the weed seeds being
brought to the farm, and third, in the
case of perennials, starving out the un.
foreground parts by preventing them
from making top growth.

ARTESIAN WATER IN
 ARID ARIZONA VALLEY

Perhaps no part of the arid South west has attracted more general at tention in recent years than San Simon Valley, in southeastern Ari- zona and adjacent parts of New Mexi- co, in which a new epoch of agricul- tural development was started in 1910 by the discovery of artesian water.
 In or near this valley have been found fragmnets of pottery, stone implements, awls and needles of ante lope and turkey bone, ancient irriga- tion ditches, prehistoric ruins con taining corn, beans, and native cotton, and cleared tracts which may have been used for the cultivation of abori- ginal crops. This region was evident .ly once inhabited by more or less sedentary peoples, who must have supported themselves partly by hunt ing and partly by a primitive agri- culture.
 Civilized occupation of the region did not begin until the sixties of the last century, when colony of Mexi- cans settled near the mouth of San Simon Creek. American cattlemen first grazed their herds in San Simon Valley about 1867. Overgrazing and erosion have so devastated the valley in recent wears that it now sustains only comparatively small number of cattle. Since the discovery of artesian water, in 1910, there has been rapid influx of settlers and many wells have been drilled. Aside from grazing, the types of agriculture now practiced or proposed within San Simon Valley are irrigation farming by surface water or by water from artesian wells, dry farming, dry farming supplemented by irrigation with flood water and pumped water, and dry farming sup plemented by the use of the adjacent range for grazing.

CAN SURPLUS FRUITS
 AND VEGETABLES

Every housewife this year should restore to her home the often over- looked home industries of canning. preserving, picking, and drying of perishable fruits or vegetables. The large number of new backyard gar dens which have been planted this year shortly will begin to yield their harvest of beans, peas, carrits, beets, sweet corn, and tomatoes. The reg ular supplies also will reach the mar kets and, as happens each summer, the local supply at times will exceed immediate consumptive capacity. Not to conserve much of this surplusage of valuable food would be sinful waste.
 The present food and labor situa- tions are such that no household is justified in looking to others to re-. lease it wholly from individual res possibility and constructive action in saving and conserving food. All any home should expect of others is to supply those foods which can not be produced effectively by it's own mem- bers. The railroads will be burdened with the transportation of staple foods and civil and military neces- saries from localities of production and manufacture to districts incap- able of supplying their own needs. It follows that all locally produced foods, conserved by home methods, lessen the winter pressure on trans portation agencies and also release similar products of factories for other purposes.
 Every household is urged therefore, to can all surplus perishable prod ucts for which they have containers and to dry and keep in paper any ad- ditional surplus suitable for such preservation.

FIRST AID TRAINING AT STATE UNIVERSITY

Much interest has been excited in all parts of the State by the an- nouncement that the State Bureau of Mines is to conduct an intensive course in First Aid Training on Aug ust 9th, 7th and 9th, at the Univer- sity of Arizona Campus, Tucson.
 There seems however to be mis- taken idea that this course is only open to those intending enlistment or those who have been drafted. The course is open to everybody, although it is given especially at this time to accommodate the desire for such train ing of those enlisting, and it is anti cipated that there will be consider able number of miners taking the course as we'll as many drafted men and men planning to enroll in the Second Officers Training Camp.
 MT. s. c. Dickinson, who is in charge of the safety work of the Ari- zona State Bureau of Mines, states that the course will be precisely the course which is given by the United States Bureau of Mines Rescue Cars and which entities those receiving training to the Government certificate for proficiency in First Aid. It is possible that arrangements will be made to have the Government certi- ficates issued on the State Bureau of Mines, although if this is not possible State certificate will be issued.

After Printer and Binder.
In the house are two measures look
ing to the adjustment of the Offices
of state printer and binder. These
are follow-up measures on the cam
naign which was made by the Iowa
Homestead two years ago, when
good part of the session of the Both
assembly was given to consideration
of charges of graft in the states print
ing and binding. The result OF the
investigation then made was an
amendment of the printing laws in
several particulars and the creation
of the office of state document editor.
Those favoring the present system OF
printing and binding are confident the
effort to abolish the Offices will not
meet with success. Four candidates
each for printer and binder are anxi-
ouslv awaiting final disposition OF the
matter.
Amending the Blue Laws.
Under the slogan of the governor
that laws which are uncomfortable
should either be amended or removed
from the books, the legislature is con-
sidering a proposed amendment to the
Sunday blue laws, which provides that
theatres and moving picture houses,
restaurants and drug stores and ci-
gar stores may be kept open on Sun
day and that amusement parks may
be operated and such sports as base
ball INDUCED in. Another loosening
up in this direction is a bill which
would repeal the present prohibition
of cigarettes in the state and allow
their sale under license and regulation

asks how the length Of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
THE length of an electric wave is
determined by wave-meter The nat
ural wave-length of an aerial is four
times its linear length, just as the
wave-length of note Of a closed or
gan pipe is four times the length of the
pipe, aud the wave-length of the note
of Il tuning fork is four times the
length of the box which is resonant
with the note. However, other con-
siderations make it difficult to measure
the wave-length by rule, and the
wave-meter gives more correct re-
suit than can be found by measuring
the length of the wire"

Nothing in nature, not even the
storm itself, is SO cruel as the beauty
of the after calm. In the radiance of
the sunshine next day De Spain, deli
rious and muttering, was taken to the
hospital at Sleepy Cat. In an adjoin-

at those who were torturing her reluc-

doctors worked over the three. The

come of the struggle. From as far as

to aid in the fight.

agreed that if his life were to be saved
