SOnOita Items
tBy SPECIAL Correspondent,

The directors of the Santa Cruz
County Fair Association met III
Sonoita on Saturday evening and
much interest was manifested in
the boards proceedings. A goodly
number of stockholders were pres
.ent, and especially were the ladies
in evidence. With county and
state financial support assured, this
years fair will be the best by far
in the history of the organization.
The premium list has been com
p1eted, and will be given to the
press for publication at an early
date.
Rev. Pope preached here on Sun
day at both morning and evening
service, and the gentlemen's many
friends are glad to welcome him
back after his recent vacation.
Considerable damage was caused
throughout this section by We'd
nesday's severe storm. Several
houses were unroofed and the wall
of at least one. adobe building was
blown in. Reports from adjacent
precincts seem to indicate that sim
liar damage resulted in other parts.
Mrs. +. R. Purdum is here from
Noga1es, experimenting the recon
struction and repair of their ranch
home which was badly injured by
the recent storm.
Most of the young men who
were called from here for service
under the selective draft have been
examined and to date every one
one has been found physically
qualified. This speaks we'll for the
local manhood.
Guy S. Bryant, the poultry
king after suffering much dam
age and inconvenience by recent
storms, has invented a new type of
chicken house of sectional con-
struction, embodying a collapsible
feature. The experimental house
has Withstood the most rigid tests,
and Mr.. Bryant now intends I'd
care for his entire flock Of fifteen
hundred fowls by the erection OF
several similar unit houses. He
has already protected his novel idea
by patent.

capitalist and general good fellow
from the suburbs of Nogales, is

Notes of Interest to Farmers
By A. l.. Pascha11, County
Agricultural Agent.

Mr.. Wallace McKeehan, who is
part owner of very large farm in
Leslie Canyon and which is irri-
gated by means of water conveyed
through pipe line leading seven
miles from a submerged dam across
the canyon, has very good crop.
He planted AZ acres with Sudan
grass about April 1st. This is an
excellent field of Sudan, the grass
being from four to FIVE feet in
height. 1t was in best condition
for cutting four or FIVE weeks ago,
but on account Of other urgent
farm work, such as irrigating and
planting a large acreage to beans,
Mr.. McKeehan did not have his
men NOW this hay crop in time for
the best hay, which also will cause
the crop to produce about onehalf
cutting less. Mr.. Mcclellan ex-
1 poets to put a large acreage to
wheat this fall. His crop of corn
and Kaflr is also looking fine
Beans, of which he. has planted
fifty acres, are looking well. He
planted some in rows 22 inches
apart and about four inches apart
in rows, and some in rows AZ in
ches apart. The latter will not have
any larger vines and the indica
tions are that the former field will
double the latter III yield per acre.
Several farmers have signihed
their desire to cooperate IN select
ing and breeding up crop by seed
selection
R. E. Sampson stated that he
will soon plant sweet clover and
little later some Canada field peas
which he tested last year and found
.
to produce we'll.
D. A. Penick, of the Stronghold
, region, has an exceptionally fine
, field of Black -hu1led White Kafir,
which he planted about April 1st.
, fifty y-eight acres Of it. He planted
this 21 inches apart, in rows about
40 inches apart. The plants are
, now about two feet high and have
an excellent appearance. E. f.
Campbell also has a fine field of
Kaffir.
CocIise county has had good
rains, Crops are looking we'll and
the farmers are still busy planting
beans. while MANY are busy also
cultiyating,
PESTS
Harvester ants are greatly on the
increase. I am advising farmers
to use London purple and am Civ
ing demonstration as to how to
use it. A large number of farmers
;. are using it with excellent results.
while there are also some who seem
to have obtained poor results, prob
ABLY on account of poor strength
of the purple. The larger cornstalk
borers are also making their ap-
pearance in larger numbers than
was observed last year. These
pests are especially damaging in
the Whitewater McNeal region,
where noticed that some are pupa-
ting already, thus indicating that
there will be at least two genera
tons this year. / am advising
those farmers who have these bor
ers in their fields to dig up and
feed all infested stalks as soon as
4 effects or DOreIS are uOl1CcO.
, Mr.. M. G. Boots, who lives
about twelve miles east of Pearce,

, over an area of 800 acres of thick
t " infested land at cost of about

season started, which has proven
to be about the best time for this
