are all Of American pattern. There's
nothing in the nature of trademark

the makers name clipped off, appar-

WHISPERS ON BARLEY.
National Crop Improvement Service.

Considerable complaint has been
made in the past on account of the OBJ
noxious character of the boards OF
barley during harvesting and subse
quent handling. This objection has
been largely removed since the intro
duction of the binder, self feeder at.
tachments to threshing machines and
self straw stackers. There is little
danger in using the straw for feeding
or bedding for stock.

1t is known fact that the simple
little act of testing all seed corn be-
fore planting will add many bushels to
the corn crop and will pay the farmer
about five times as much per hour for
his labor as will any other farm labor.
There is nothing hard about it, all
methods of testing seed corn are easy
and inexpensive. You can test the kerr
nels in blotters or "rag-doll" testers
at home, making them yourself, or
you can invest in a commercial test
er that will last for years. Your agrl-
cultural college, county agent, or the
U. S. Department of Agriculture at
Washington will be glad to give you
full particulars.
Seed testing will stop one Of these
leaks in farm practice that change
gain into loss. Figure out for yourself
how many hills the six or seven hun
dred kernels of corn from a dead or
weak ear will plant, and figure out
how your corn yield will drop if two or
three, or dozen, or maybe fifty such
ears should get planted.

Many farmers will not be able to

of the lack of horses or other power.
Every tractor in this county should
work night and day as long as there

MILITARY IN THE HIGH SCHOOLS.

Arizonas state senate to feel that will do the youths who attend the high and normal schools of the good if they have military training along with their studies is to be hoped that the house will con in the belief and that will something along this line enacted into law by the legislature.
 Military training has been in vogue in of the state universities many and the graduates of those institutions universally in favor of the plan The system has been success. But trouble has been found with it has been closely enough connected with the regular army. Place such training in the hands of competent army and organize it in such available the country in time Of need and much of the present problem would be elm, mated
 Some people maintain that the idea of universal mi- ary training would tend to organize aristocracy in the United States. These people that the present officers of army constitute aristocracy in themselves.
 Granting, for the sake of argument alone that their contention is right (which investigation fails main ain) would appear the observer that the best method to eliminate such 'arstocracy is to make the service universal Interest every young in the work. Make the high and the low, the of the rich and the of the poor, serve his bit in the army Not cnly would he secure the rudments of military trainn, but any proclives he might have for snobshness and class distinction would be eliminated.
 In considering the step proposed by Arizona senate only say that such law would be one in the right direction It is hard how it would lead the boys into path of life which in the aggregate would make the country warlike. Every boy wants to know how to handle gun. Every boy should be taught how to handle, inteigently gun. Such system, in troduced into public schools would be the first step in complete democratizing of the youth of the United States. It is short step but it is certainly in the riga direction.

ANOTHER FAILURE.


 Arizona unfortunate, The last recognized state n Union has had rough old time in making its way to the five year post spite of it progressed in which many states envy, chiefly and principally due wonderful strides made by her mines. When il comes to legislatures however, they react. Each year they repeat the old doses The only thing which go forward is the amount of the appropriations passed by them.
 the first session of Arizona's legislature there was complete agreement the majority The then governor his henchmen had complete con trol They passed what they desired and lived to see much of their legislation thrown the scrap heap damned by their followers In spite of complete agreement a/special held, another and finally another
 We hoped better luck in the second legislature It completely dominated by the clique, but special session necessary, nevertheless.
 Now have the vision of another special session in the third legislature From advices received from the capital it appears that the appropriation bill is in such shape that the members get together the measure by March when the bodies are supposed adjourn. anyone has been able investi- gate the legislature has what might be termed
 constructive piece legislation state short would have been far better financially and otherwise had the legislature been left the ballots fall
 Something must be done to eradicate the passveness majority of legislatures special session. They only expensive but like the small boy they give the men who have other work do, tco much time for thinking up foolish laws
 There solution which would work to a certainty Pay legislators an annual salary and change the term of the senators from four and make half of that body elective every years might the efficacy of the proposal half elected every years.
 In the present legislature there but few of the members who have served in a similar capacity be fore The of legislating any state important Yet the people of the persist sending body men who for the most part unable make good other Men of ability and brains hesitate for the legislature fearing that extra sessicn will called and their business will suffer- which has been the in the past. An annual salary the legislators would solve the question of special sessions. proportion each legis ature does not want session. Those go there for the s7 day that pays for their services. Pay salary and we would not be bothered by the datory see s the present time and, moreover if women knew that only sixty days would be required of them they be likely offer themselves for the offices
 Certainly after three trials nothing but increased expense and mislegislaon the result people of the state should wake up the that something must be done and that very quickly.

The largest shipment of beans rec orded in Arizona were received in Flagstaff by Babbitt Bros. this week from a little settlement eighteen miles south of Snowflake, in Navajo county. Sixty thousand pounds is the weight of the shipment. The beans were raised on some of the dry farms in that section, and represent some of the same varieties that won prizes at the Denver International Dry Farm congress in 1915.
