During 1917 there was issued by the secretary of state of Arizona 19,- 762 auto licenses, which brought into that office the neat sum of S1O9,O25. The showing is the best ever made by that division of the secretary of states office. Other fees in connection with the issuance of licenses amounted to many thousands more.
 Mohave county shows the greatest gain in the use of automobiles, every agency showing sales gains over last year. M. c Wagner reports the sale of more than 100 cars since going into the automobile business in the county. The cars sold by him were all large cars. Other dealers have probably sold many more of the small car va riety. The showing of the county rep resents about one car to every "A per capita, which is about the highest of any locality in the United States.

AFTER MILLER ESTATE

A lawyer arrived in Kingman this week from Sacramento, California, who brought with him letter pur- ported to have been written by the late George Miller as one of his last acts, which letter is in the form of a will, conveying to Emma Wilson, a woman who nursed him during his last illness. Miss Wilson came from Col fax, California, with Miller and re mained with him until his death. She is said to have been in the room when Miller made a will devising all his property to the school fund of Mohave county. The letter conveying his property to Miss Wilson was alleged to have been, sealed and to be opened when he was dead. It was taken by her to Colfax, where it is supposed to have been opened. Why she did not open it here after Miller's death has been left unexplained.
 The estate of George Miller will in ventory about S1O,OOO, it is said.

GREATEST CROP OF POTATOES

The crop of potatoes gathered in the United States in 1917 is one of the greatest in the agricultural history of the country, reaching the untold bulk of 453,000,000,000 bushels, fully 200,- 000,000,000 over that of 1916. It will require three-quarters of a million cars to handle the crop. The food board requires that purchases must be made at the nearest point of distribution, the price being subject to fixture by the commission.

Hundreds of tons of heavy lead ore have been shipped from the property to the smelterS.

SAVE THE GLASS AND
STONEWARE CONTAINERS

Washington, D c., May 23.-Save
the glass and stoneware containers
and send them to the women on the
farms of the South for preserving
fruits and vegetables
This is the advice of the u. S.
Department of Agriculture and with
the view of aiding in this movement.
the experts Of the Southern Railway
Systems Development Service, in
Guiding the agricultural agents and
farm products agents stationed at
various points throughout the South,
are actively advocating cooperation
between consumers in the cities and
producers on the farms.
On account Of the expected short
age in tin cans, it is suggested that
all commercial canneries. girls can
ming clubs and others promptly as
sure themselves of an adequate sup
ply of containers. The conservation
of glass and stoneware containers
may be accomplished through the
cooperation of the consumers in the
towns and cities with the agents of
the girls canning clubs and others
who may be interested in the can
ming of fruits and vegetables.

winter in excellent condition in a
well-drained place in the open, or in
barns, or other outhouses by the
following method:
At digging time, pile the roots in
piles with a sloping surface like a
roof, cover with straw or hay to a
depth of six inches, and then with
about an irch of soil bank carefully
but place no soil on the straw at the
top of the pile. Leave in this con-
dition until danger of freezing and
then increase the soil to six inches
or more over the entire pile. In al
most all parts of the state six inches
of soil will be ample protection, but
where the weather gets very cold.
greater soil cover should be provided.
By storing under roof, the vege-
tables are more easily taken out from
time to time as needed, and if care
is taken not to cover them too deep
ly at first, they will keep as fresh as
when first dug. Cabbage can be
stored in the same way by retaining

morning feed. The coop should be
placed on a wooden platform, ele-
waited three or four inches off the
ground. which makes the coop cooler
and prevents the chicks from getting
drowned in heavy rains.
The chicks should have butter
milk daily, as well as a constant
supply of fresh water. This may be
supplied by using a gallon can,
cutting small holes thru it about an
inch from the top: Fill the. can with
water. turn pan. over. the. same and
upset the can. into the pan. The
water will stand in the. pan as deep
as the holes were made from the top
of the can.
Chick feed should be, first, crushed
egg shells. Then, five times daily,
until the chicks are three weeks old,
they should be fed hard boiled eggs
and corn bread. After three weeks,
feed cracked corn and wheat screen
ings night and morning. and keep be-
fore them at all times, a dry mash

FARM LABOR PROSPECTS

The United States Department OF
Agriculture, together with the
United States Department of Labor,
IS undertaking to make a working
organization to help the farmers of
the country secure needed labor.
Farmers who need help can get ap-
piicahon blanks thru the postmaster
in most towns. Where such blanks
cannot be obtained from the post
master, letter addressed to the
United States immigration Service,
st. Louis, Missouri. will bring the
blanks.
The effort will be to get the most
satisfactory labor possible. In
r1anv cities, recruits who have APP
piled for enlistment in the army or
navy, but who have been rejected.
have had farm experience. These
men, who are willing to serve their
c0uutTy in the army or navy, are be-
ing asked to render an equally need
ed and valuable service on the farms.
v thOut DOUBT, some of the labor
furnished thru the Government and
othcr agencies will not prove salts
factory. In some cases the men will
have had no experience in farm
work. In other cases they will not
have as good character as the farmer
hEts to have in the labor he employs,
but the farmer who is urgently in
need OF help can well afford to take
chances, especially in such times as
these; and many of them will draw
rea! prizes.

KIDNEY BEANS

We are told that beans, bacon anC
brains are the sinews of this war
Brains must be behind the beans as
well as behind our guns. Do you
intend to put any brains into beans
this year? In a recent publication
Mr.. j. c. McAmis. Specialist in
Agronon1y, Division of Extension,
Knoxville, tells Of Mr.. A. A. Deakins
Jonesboro Tenn. who is putting
brains into 60 acres of beans. His
neighbors are rapidly catching the
fever. Mr., II. H. Thomas County
Agent for Washington County, states
that something like two thousand
acres will be planted to Kidney beans
in that county.
Early july planting is best for the
Kidneys. They may be planted
after the wheat is harvested and
taken off in time to seed land to
grain again. If yoa are interested
and want to give the Kidney bean
a trial write your County Agent at
Maryville or the Department at
Knoxville for further infirmation.

many farmers unemployed for the
unusual rush of work putting in the
crops. Spring has been late, and
there is demand for extra large
acreage of crops.
The difficulty now being experience
ed snouIa prove a valuable lesson.
Get ready Tor harvest now. Do not
wait until the grain begins to ripen
before overhauling the machinery
or ordering the new machinery
where it is needed. Communities
should see to it now that there will
be enough binders and threshers in
the dist to handle the crops in the
time that nature allots for harvest
ing. Every harvest problem should
be thought out in advance, and the
first day crops are ready to harvest
should find men and machinery ready
to begin.

WHAT ABOUT LABOR?

Farmers of Tennessee are busy
getting in their crops. They are moi
sure about the future, and they can.
not be sure. Will there be enough
labor to harvest the crops? From
where will it come? Men are leav-
ing for the army, for the navy, for
the munitions plants, for Canada
where will the farm help come from?
Each town must help out the
farmers in its neighborhood. and
each large city must send a quota of
men to the farms during the critical
seasons.
Rest assured of one thing, that
farmers may safely go ahead and
put in their crops without fear of
disaster. The government is using
every means to keep men on the
farms.
