HORSE MEAT HERE?
Wild Horses in West Will Be,
 Slaughtered Says Packer

Wild horse meat will likely appear on the local meat mar ket next month. A butcher stated today that he had re- ceived a letter from friend close to the head of a packing concern in Kansas City, who is authority for the announce ment that wild horses from Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Ne vada will be slaughtered for canning purposes.
 The meat will not be sold under misleading brands or labels, but will be offered to the con- sumer as wild horse meat prop erly cured and scientifically prepared. It is the latest step to beat down the high food prices.

CROPS IN NAVAJO
 APACHE COUNTIES

Nearly all winter wheat which came up last fall has been win ter killed and will have to be replanted to other crops. The prairie dog exterminatjon dem- onstrations in Snowflake and Taylor were successful. The counts showed 100 ger cent dogs killed in area treated.
 Members of Lakeside F. I. A {. are cooperating in growing hogs and curing pork products A frst-class article is put on the market. God profits are received, as the hogs are pas tured on alfalfa and clover dur ing the summer, and in the fall are turned out to fatten on acorns and other forest seeds which supplement grain.
 The Lakeside and Pinedale F. I. A. are each arranging to plant 100 acres of beans. Sever al individuals will have 80 to 100 acres of beans, and the bean acreage will be six times that of last year. Alfalfa acre age will also be increased, par ticularly in the mountains.
 Some outside alfalfa seed was shipped in. One grower at Lakeside produced $1,500 worth of sweet clover seed last year. Nearly 100 pounds of Canada field peas have been or dered fora seed, and will be planted with oats for forage at Linden and Lakeside.

to meet the deficit.

With the big packers offer ing to put their business under government control; with the copper and other metal produc- ing companies offering to sell their products to the govern ment at bare living profit, and with the steel mills and ship yards willing to do their "bit, ," it behooves us all to put the best that is in us into productive effort.
 Locally, it is too late now for the planting of staple food stuffs, but there is much that can be done. Every possible ton of hay should be harvested, for hay means beef and butter. Every available foot of land should be planted to maize, millet and other summer crops. We should every one of us, raise what truck we can, and above all, we should econo- mize.
 In Chicago and some other centers of population, the au- thorities are seeing to it that every able bodied man is kept at work. The times almost de- mand that every man who is able to do productive work should be put to work and kept at it. "The need of humanity is great: the heart of America is also great" Can we live up to that?

Girl is Air Wizard

(From American Magazine)
 In Miss Katherine Stinson's flying school at San Antonio, hundreds of students are being trained. She goes up in the ma chine with each student, and shows what should be done. This is most dangerous work, but Miss Stinson thrives on it.
 She has duplicated every stunt in the air that a man has ever done. She has flown up- side down numerous times. She has looped the loop and spiral led, unnumbered spirals. She has dived and dropped, and flown at night.
 And despite her nerve-rack- ing experiences she has a sense of humor for, when 1 asked her to what she attributed her suc- cess, she said, with a, twinkle in her eye:
 "Why, I never fell down on my job."

AN ATZEC BEAN FROM
 HISTORIC PEOPLE

The Phoenix market received
 a large supply of the northern
 Arizona Aztec beans last week
 which are being successfully
 raised in the northern part of
 the state since their discov-
 cry in the cliff dwellings ruins
 of Arizona. The last years crop
 was probably the largest ever
 raised, but owing to the early frost the same was considerably
 reduced, and it is expected
 more of this historic bean will
 be planted down in the lower altitude in southern Arizona this year than ever before ow- ing to it's great value. It is
 claimed to equal the little white navy bean, and being of the
 same size, the only difference
 being the Aztec bean has a light brown grayish color, to the navy bean. It seems this lit tie Aztec bean is the only living thing left to us from these his toric people, after which this bean is named; also science has thus far failed to give us the right name for it, if it has an- other one. Nevertheless much could be written about this lit tie historic bean, which has again demonstrated to the world that seeds kept in dry places will keep for ages and not lose its growing power when planted in wet soil, as this bean was discovered in ancient pottery under the overhanging cliff dwelling ruins in northern Arizona a number of years ago and is before us today a living example in memory of a pre- historic race of people or tribe who cultivated the land and discovered the value of the soil which is another proof that civ ilization existed long before the pale face came out west, but it's history will always re- main a mystery for us to ponder over. c. R. Bernetzke.

ALL HANDS TO THE HOE
(From Buckeye News)


 This country entered the pres ent crop year last July with 164,000,000 bushels of wheat carried over from the crop of 1915, and in 1916 produced 100000 bushels of winter wheat and 158,OO0,OOO of spring wheat; total supply 8O4- OOO,OOO. This year there will be practically no wheat carried over and the governments esti- mate upon the winter crop fore casts yield of only 43O,OO0,- 900. On this basis the spring crop must be 214,O00,00O bush els larger than last year in or der to give us wheat supply equal to what we will export and consume in the winter crop year now closing. This is an alarming outlook. The spring wheat crop is notoriously sub- ject to weather conditions; and other food crops must be grown

Uncle Sam's Experts Trying to Develop new varieties Speci- ally Adapted to Different Localities.

Uncle Sam's experts are con- ducting a number of potato in- vestigations in various states. One of the main features of the work is the development, from seed, of new varieties of pota- toes specially suited for certain purposes and adapted to the special growing regions in which such products can most economically be produced.
 A large number of seedlings have been grown and those of greater promise only retained, of which it is understood there are some 300 considered of suf- ficient value to warrant further testing. These are being tried out in cooperation with the various state agricultural sta tions, and as soon as they have proved their worth in any local ity arrangements will be made to establish the variety in the region to which it is best adapt ed.
 In this very interesting inves- tigation experiments are being made leading to a determina- tion of the factors necessary for the production of disease-free potatoes. It has been found that where land has previously been in cultivation with grains and alfalfa it may produce disease-free potatoes.

Reason for Sleep

Popular opinion is that we sleep because we are exhausted But Swiss physiologist, Doct- or Claparede, now advances the theory that we sleep to avoid being exhausted. His theory is that sleep, instead of being the result of fatigue, is simply an impulsivc self-disin- lection which the body con- ducts in order to get rid of the waste products before they have time to produce exhaus- ton. -Bellville, (N.
