held under the law giving the
train men eight hours for rest
before going out after coming in
from any run. They were late
arriving Thursday night. The
trouble was that going toward
Benson they had the misfortune
to have a derailed car which tore
up the track and took several
hours to repair it. Four and

GROW A WINTER COVER
CROP IN THE ORCHARD

An important feature of orchard
management that should engage the
attention of fruit growers at this sea-
son is the planting of cover crops. 1t
has been demonstrated beyond ques-
ton that the most needed thing in the
soils of Arizona is humus, and par
ticularly is this true with reference to
our orchard lands which in most cases
are light and sandy. The presence of
humus makes a soil betteraerated and
enables it to retain greater amount
of moisture an item of no little con-
sequence to the fruit grower as well
as the general farmer.
While anything will produce humus
from a broom straw to a fence rail-
if turned into the soil, the cheapest
and most satisfactory method of sup
plying this material is through the
growing of cover crops. Furthermore,
if leguminous covers are used, an add
ed value is secured in that nitrogen,
the element of plant food most lacking
in our soils and most needed in the
development of tree growth and size
of fruit, is supplied. Among the

riculture. In many parts of the coun-
trv families earn considerable money
during the long winter evenings by
cracking black walnuts and butter
nuts and selling the kernels. During
the winter of 1917-1S the price to the
farmers ranged from 25 to 80 cents
per pound
The hard shells not the husks, of
black walnuts, butternuts, hickory
nuts, Persion (English) walnuts, Jap
anese walnuts, and the seeds of such
fruits as peaches. plums, prunes, apri-
cots. and olives are exceedingly use
full in the making of carbon for gas
masks. The shells of pecans and al
monds cannot be used.
Seven pounds of hard nut shells, or
200 peach pits, will make enough car
bon for one gas mask. Thousands Of
tons of cocoanut shells and shells of
cohune nuts from tropical America,
and carloads of fruit pits from the Pa
cafic Coast are being used. Still the
supply is not sufficient.
With an army of 100000 men in
prospect, it is evident that to provide
every man with even one gas mask
will require 2S,0OOOOO pounds of nut
shells or the equivalent.
County agents and field men of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture are urged to put in word when
ever possible to stimulate the saving
and assembling of such material. As
result of the campaign already
launched barrels have been placed in
conspicuous places in many cities and
towns as depositorie, and large guam
titles of material are being brought to-
gether.
In practically all of the eastern
states many thousand bushels of
black walnuts, butternuts, and hickory
nuts annually go to waste because of
not being harvested. These should all
be gathered and wherever practicable
the best should be cracked and the
kernels used as food. Nuts which
cannot readily be cracked, those
which have become stale with age, or
those which have failed to develop
plump kernels, should be turned over
to the Red Cross. Black walnuts and
butternuts which are not to be cracked
may be sent in without removing the
outer husk. Arrangements for gath
ering and shipping nuts, nut shells
and fruit pits can be made through the
local Red Cross.

coTToNSEED MEAL MORE
NUTRITIOUS THAN COTTON
SEED FEED; WORTH MORE

Cottonsecd meal contains more pro
tein, the chief food constituent of cot
ton seed, and less fiber than does
cottonseed feed Cottonseed meal is
generally recognized as a product of
the cotton seed only, composed prin-
cipally of the kernel, with such por-
tions of the hull as is necessary in
the manufacture of oil, and as con
tanning at least SO per cent protein.
Cottonseed feed, which may more
properly be labeled "cottonseed meal
and hulls," is generally recognized as
a mixture OF cottonseed meal and cot
tonseed hulls, containing less than Sc
per cent protein. If to cottonseed
meal, as defined above, cottonseed
hulls are added, the mixture cannot
be labeled as cottonseed meal under
the terms of the Federel Food and
Drugs Act and the food laws of many
states.
Buyers should distinguish carefully
between cottonseed meal and cotton
seed feed, according to officials of
the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture. ]
While cottonseed feed containing
reasonable quantity of cottonseed
meal is good feed, the hulls have
very low feeding value as compared
with the meal. The mixture having
less food value should sell fora less
price than cottonseed meal. Buyers
in many instances failing to distin-
guish between cottonseed meal and
cottonseed feed have paid as much,
or nearly as much, for the feed as for
the meal. This has been the case
especially when the manufactures of
cottonseed feed has sold it under the
designation "cottonseed feed meal"

one-quarter of cord of wood and an
hours time under ordinary conditions
will suffice to dispose of any carcass.
This not only prevents the breeding
of myriads of screw-worms flies but
also aids in the control of dangerous
diseases, such as anthrax and black
leg. IS
Proper burial of large carcasses is
usually more expensive than burning.
1t should be kept in mind that flies
emerge freely from carcasses if not
buried fully two feet deep.
The elimination of trouble from
wool maggots will also result from
thorough and general carcass destruc-
ton.

have calves come at such esasons as
to avoid the screw-worms Mechani-

BEGIN TO RAISE HOGS

Those who have not been raising
their pork and bacon should get gilt
as soon as possible and begin. 1t is
hard to estimate the value of a good
brood SOW Take a pure-bred SOW
that produces two litters of pigs a
year, and at the present prices for
breeding stock and pork you can read
lily see the value of such an animal.
Since the gilt must be bought, it would
be more economical in the end to buy
a pure-bred gilt and raise good pigs.
Registered stock is in good demand
at the present time in this state. AS
rule pure-bred sows or gifts are bet
ter feeders and will respond better to
good care than scrubs. At the COM
paratively low cost of pure-bred swine
as compared with pure-bred cattle all
swine should be pure-bred but not
necessarily registered. With bred
gilt or one to be bred to farrow early
in the spring it need not take one long
to raise enough hogs for the farm
meat supply Why should we import
German frankfurters? The home cur
ing of meats and making of pork spe-
cialties invites careful consideration.
Every producer of pork should cure
his own hams and sides-that is,
enough to meet the demands of his
own household and his hired family
labor. Hogs will turn pasture and
grain into more meat than any other
animals and do it most economically
Of all. They should have a place on
every farm, large and small Start
now and start right-with pure-bred
animals.-Wm e. Schneider, Swine

tive of the laboring people.

SELECT YOUR SEED CORN

Experience, especially that of farm
ers during the past year, should be
sufficient to make most of them save
enough seed corn not only for them
selves for planting the field allotted
for corn next year. but also a sur
plus for disposal 10 others who may
find their seed Of poor quality next
spring. Several thousand farmers
were Inconvenience last spring be-
cause of a shortage of good seed corn,
and those who had surplus received
a good price. Several states have
been holding seed corn selection cam
paigns during September and thou
sands of bushels of seed corn have
been selected in this movement car
ried on By 1.-THE State Agricultural
Colleges through their extension
forces, and especially by the county
agents. There is still time for those
who have not selected their seed corn
to make the. best of it, and lay aside
a supply Of the best seed corn now
available.
Farmers generally realize that the
best time to select seed corn is be-
fore severe fall frosts. However, if
it is too late to go through the field
before husking the crop and select
from standing stalks, an effort should
be made to save the best ears while
husking.
In the corn belt a small box may
be carried on side or at rear end of
the wagon box for carrying the ears
selected for seed. II is especially de-
sirable that the seed ears be selected
from the standing stalk in order that
it may be possible to reproduce from
stalks of the best type which have
produced good ears.
In those regions where corn is cut
early for husking from the shock, it
is impossible to judge whether the
good looking ear was grown under
more favorable conditions, such as
upon a stalk standing alone. Even
when husked from the shock, selection
before putting the corn in crib is still
preferable, because it will then be
more likely to be stored carefully,
thereby insuring a higher percentage
OF termination in the spring, and con-
sequently better stand and larger
yield.

cATTLEMEN HUNT FOR FEED

"The size of the haystacks will rep
resent the number of animals in many
Of the COW outfits next spring." says
r. II. Williams, animal husbandman of
the University of Arizona. "Condi-
tions are most serious for the feed has
dried up and heavy losses viii be sus-
tanned. Even if cattle are shipped to
market or to pastures a certain loss
will be inevitable In order to reduce
this loss to a minimum it is best to
maintain the stock on their home
range and ship cotton seed cake to
them. This can be secured from the
various cotton oil mills. The cake
alone given in quantities Of one to
three pounds day, would be suffi-
cient to tide COWS over the drought if
they can secure browse, water and
salt along with it. Some roughage
should be used where there is no
browse"

ough revegetation impossible, destruc-
tive floods and erosion may be con-
trolled by the total exclusion of stock,
by terracing and planting, and by the
construction of dams.
Much more than half the battle of
preserving range is preventing erosion
from getting started Where it has
full play for a number of years the at
tempted reestablishment of the ground
cover, even though grazing is discon-
.tinued, does not always give adequate
results IN such instances, which for
tunately are relatively rare in this
country, extreme measures, such as
the combination of terracing and
planting. or, in exceptional cases, the
construction of dams are Justified.

The fact that DR.. Wilkinson was
making charge of about SIS for vac
cinating our people for the influenza
caused somewhat of a rumpus this
week when DR.. Hughes arrived from
Phoenix. The latter is a member of
the State Board of Health and stated
that no charge should be made for
this service; that it is being done
free all over the state. He immedi-
ately put stop to it, and announces
that vaccination is free at the school
hospital at certain hours. 1t is said
that the names of those who have paid
for it are being sought with a view
of returning their money. We believe
that DR.. Wilkinson is getting 5000
and expenses per month from the gov
ernment, which amounts to about $40
per day, and it would seem that a man
should be able to live on that sum

REDUCE LOSSES FROM RAW
AGES OF SCREW-WORMS

r. W. Wells, special field agent of
the Bureau of Entomology of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, while carrying on work in Ari-
zona, recently, with the Agricultural
Extension Service, gave consideration
to the important livestock pest known
as the screw-worm. In Arizona, as in
many parts of the southwest, it was
found that many stock owners gave
very little attention to the source of
screw-worm troubles; that is, the car
casses of various animals. Much time
and money are spent in large part
of the state in the treatment of screw
worm cases. and losses due to the
actual death of livestock and the re-
duction in growth resulting from the
attack of this pest amount to many
thousands of dollars annually.
All screw-worm flies breed in decay
ing animal matter and with concerted
action in the destruction of carcasses.
the screw-worm troubles can be prac-
tically eliminated The Bureau of En-
tomology is recommending the burn
ing of cafcasses wherever possible.
This is not difficult job, as many
stockmen believe. The best proceed
ure to follow is to dig a trench along
the back of the carcass about eighteen
inches wide and fourteen. inches deep
and slightly longer than the animal.
Fill this trench with wood and roll the
carcass over on top of it. Start a fire
at the windward end, and usually no
further attention is necessary but to
fold the legs and head back into the
middle of the trench after the fire has

LAHoR,s TASK

"A vigorous offensive in the final edi-
tions of modern wa-fare-a system as
varied as the news of the hour
means the simultaneous hurling with
Titanic force of nations against each
other.
sThe great battles of the Civil War
and of about all past wars, in fact
were mere outpost skirmishes COM
pared. with the stupendous offensive
that has been in progress for the last
three months in Europe.
Napoleon's greatest army was
scarcely more than a division; his bat
tie fronts the boundaries of a town
his machinery of war an impecunious
display contrasted with the stagger-
ing immensity of the forces engaged
and the armament required by the
fighting nations of our time.
We no longer fight with armies.
Whole nations now plunge into the
fray; millions of men manage the ma
chinery of destruction; battle fronts
are measured by the boundary lines
of states. All the people of all the
countries comprise the fighting forces,
because all the contentious of the past
are crystallized in the issues of this
war. These have their center in the
single issue: Autocracy against de-
9ocracy. Both can not survive. One
must die.
To this land, whose century and a
half of political, religious and civic
freedom has been the inspiration of
the Old World to be born anew, the
children of an ancient order plead
for liberation with suppliant hearts
This great, tremendous force, endowed
with the consciousness of power that
liberty alone can give, has responded
with giant blows. 1t has volunteered
its manhood, it has contributed its
skill, it has proffered its wealth-it
has done much
The continuity of liberty rests upon
our people, more than upon any other,
for autocracy, sheltered by its mill
tarism, desperate in its death throes,
will strike its hardest against it's most
virile foe.
That foe is American liberty.
Thus every human unit in America
has its burden to bear. Each is a
part of the fighting force. Every shell
that is fired by the man in arms must
be reinforced; every gun which
thrusts the enemy back must be sup
ported by reserves; every ship which
sails the seas must be laden with car
so, and manned by sailors. This is
labor's part in the war machine. La
Dor is confronted with mighty
task.
The lives of our soldiers are in the
keeping of these workers.
These fighting sons of our nation
have shouldered their guns and have
gone into battle with songs on their
lips; they have astounded the world
with the vigor of their blows: they
have made the supreme sacrifice glo-
riously.
These soldier boys, these chums of
yesterday, must be assured that la
Dor. shall meet its stupendous task at
home with the same patriotic spirit
that moved them when they faced the
enemy on the battlefield.
That assurance will be best reflect
ed in the abolishing of willful absen-
teeism and in the reduction of the un-
justified labor turnover.
These are the great industrial evils
# today.
Labor can-and must-control them.

Too Much Grazing Starts Soil
Washing; May Eventually Lead
to Total Ruin of Good Ranges

Excessive grazing, which Injuries the
yegetative cover, will frequently per-
nit erosion to get a start ON the range,
and valuable pasturage will be changed
by the elements to barren land, ac-
cordnig to Bulletin 675, Range. Pres
ervation and It's Relation to Erosion
Control on Western Grazing Lands"
recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture
1t is case of killing the goose
that laid the golden eggs. While to-
pography, climate and soil are factors
in determining erosion, the combina-
ton of these factors with the vege-
tative growth is such that erosion is
slight where the natural conditions
have not been disturbed, and may be
made serious by any influence which
upsets the balance established by ma
ture. Numerous instances are on rec
ord where serious erosion was un-
known until the ground cover was
largely destroyed, and in localities
where destroyed vegetation has been
reestablished serious erosion has been
stopped. The reestablishment of vege-
tation, the bulletin points out, is ex-
tremely difficult
The Importance of preserving the
upper few inches On the high ranges
and with it the vegetative cover, in
order to regulate the stream flow, to
maintain indefinitely the forage cover
for grazing, and incidentally to pre-
vent destructive erosion, is not always
fully appreciated by the stockman and
farmer. The farmer stockman can
not afford to do without feed from the
range. The temporary larger profits
that might be derived from over-graz-
ing would soon be offset by the loss Of
the source of feed supply which would
result.
