Letter to Farmers.

The rainy and bad weather of March will give the farmers some time that cannot be used in the field, which will provide a golden opportunity to make some easy money through the process of saving future expenses. Get you a gallon or two of good ready mixed paint and paint brush and when the weath- CT is too bad and the ground is too wet to blow, gather up all the plow tools, moving machines, single and double trees and all farm implements, and re paint them Try to give them two good coats of paint It will lengthen the life of tools and implements and save you lots of money. Few farmers do this, but those who do make their implements last about twice as long as those who don't Tools and imple- ments are high now and money saved in this way IS money made. Another way to make easy money k to test your seed when you can do outdoor work. Find out if your seed Is good before you plant 1t. Remember you are going to have to cultivate poor just as much as a good stand A good stand also saves replanting Replanting Is tedious and hard work, and seldom pays, but careful seed selection and seed testing always pays.
 Keep your brood sows. your cows and heifers. All good breeding animals are high. and going higher Remember this, Write me for any information you need on the farm am your ser want and here to serve you.

 Commissioner of Agriculture.

SALARY BILL IS
NOT EFFECTIVE
TILL RULED On

Several of the superior judges of
Arizona have put in claims with the
auditor for one-half of their salary,
provided for in Chapter 81 Substitute
senate bill No. 40 but no money will
be paid now, awaiting a decision from
the attorney general, and then this
one-half salary may not be paid, and
the whole thing may be thrown into
court for decision whether it will be
paid at all.
This is the result of another bill
passed at the late legislature tending
TO help out counties and the pocket
books of superior court judges.
The county classification bill fixes
the salary of the judges of the super
ior courts of the various counties, one
half of which is to be paid by the state
as the constitution provides The ques-
ton now presented is whether a salary
can be increased during the term of
the incumbent. The salaries of the
judges of some of the counties were
increased by the county classification
bill which was passed with emergency
clause so that it becomes effective on
its approval by the governor.
This matter was discussed in the
legislature and it was generally under
| judges, the state and county officers
should not become effective until the
| expiration of the terms of the pres
| ent officers. But the decision of the
supreme court having wiped out the old
classification it was necessary that a
new one should be established at once

on the ground that they thought the roads

Secretary to the President,

A letter from Senator Pomerenes on
ce 70 the officials u the College OF Agri-
culture says Meeting the President will
be the high spot in the entire TRIP for
every boy and grl in your party who has
not met him before. You are lucky to
get his consent to seem them at all in
these critical times when his time is so
fully occupied with qutstons of grave I'm
portance to our beloved country"
The fact that the president will meet
the lads and lassies in the executive offi-
ces gives the impression that he expects
to shake hands with every member Of
the party. The hand haking in the past
has been one of the most popular and
long remembered incidents OF the trips
with the youngsters. and the prospect Of
greeting the president personally at this
time is already exciting keen interest
among the several hundred prze winners.
