ANOTHER STRIKE THRSATENED

1t seems radicalism is going
the limit in support of anarchism
in the case of Mooney, the con-
victed bomb planter.
An appeal has been made for
a hearing before the United
States Supreme Court on a writ
of eertiorari and another strike
is threatened.
The word is being passed out
officially by Mrs. Rena Mooney,
to I, 200, 600 labor Union members
that a general strike is to be
called if he hangs.
The official circular says: Work
is going to cease unless Mooney
is given a new trial or released
at once. This is a labor war and
will 60 down in history as the
most daring conspiracy ever at.
temped against labor. -
The history of his life, setting
forth his services to united labor,
are being sold to raise a newsfund
for his defence.
Where is there any conspiracy
against labor in trying to convict
a murderer of ten innocent
people?

We MUST DO OUR DUTY

The fact that Germany has
signed the armistice and hOstili-
ties have ceased on the battle
fronts in France and Belgium,
should not lead our people to be
too optismistic and feel that the
war is over.
We hope that it is, but the
fact that the armistice is for
thirty days pending the action
of the peace conference that will
make the terms that Germany
must agree to to end the world
war, and that the Germans may
yet try to pull off something
that might lead to the renewal of
hostilities, it would be well for
us all to realize that we must
not abate in the least our pa.
triotic duty in helping our boys
''over there"
Give to the United War Work
Fund every cent you can possi-
bly, spare. Every war agency
now in France and Belgium
needs more than ever the finan-
cial support of our people. There
is lots of good work yet to do
for ''our boys" and we must help
all we can with our money to
sustain the workers who have
done so much for the soldiers
who have liberated the world
from the rule of the autocratic
0ppressor.
Graham county should go "over
the top" in the United War
Work Drive, which will end next
Monday. Let's go over in a
blaze of glory, like ''our boys
did in France.

BETS PREVENT SUGAR FAMINE

The war has demonstrated one
fact clearly-home-grown sugar
is feeding the nation. Thirty-fve
states, comprising four-ffths of
total area of the United States,
must depend on homegrown
sugar until the end of the year
and a large portion of this area
for a much longer period.
The beet sugar output comes
just at the season when output
from other sources is exhausted.
If it were not for American
beet sugar supplying the market
today, an absolute sugar famine
would prevail. And yet a year
ago there were agitators among
the farmers saying don't raise
sugar beets, ostensibly to force
a higher price.
But sugar beets have saved the
day and next year the acreage
should be greatly increased to
strengthen the industry to meet
the after.war competition.
Reports from different sections
Of the west indicate a favorable
reaction towards sugar beet
growing ss experience of many
farmers this year with wheat,
bean and potato growing did not
come up to expectations.

A GOOD PROPOSITION

A number of our exchanges
have been specializing on what
would happen if the government
took over the newspapers. Well,
the first thing the subscription
price would be raised about so
per cent and the sheriff would be
kept busy chasing delinquents.
The next step would be to raise
the wages 25 per cent and editors
who hadn't had a cent in six
months they could call their own,
would be placed on a salary. The
merchants who fail to get their
ad copy in until press day would
be hauled up before the council
of defense and our linotype man
who hired out for two weeks and
quit his job in a week would be
sent to Leavenworth for about
ten years as a deserter. 1t looks
like a good proposition and we
are for it. The Fairbury, Nebr.,

FUTURE ON WOOL INDUSTRY

The sheep and wool industry
are vital to the life of the nation
from the standpoint of food and
clothing.
After-war conditions are going
to place a hard strain on this
joint industry and stability of
prices is very important.
The normal clip of wool in our
country is from 2SO, 100000 to
300, 600, 900 pounds a year. and
we import as much more.
There has been some accumu-
lation of foreign wools on ac-
count of suspended trade with
the Central powers and lack of
shipping.
The great duty before the peo-
pie of our country is to hold and
enlarge focks and supply more
wool and mutton for market.
We should produce 400. 900. 600
pounds a year and the industry
should be on the up grade instead
of declining in production.
The government should stabil-
ize prices for at least two years
and continue the present ware
housing and commits sion system
of handling.

CARRY ON TO SUCCESS

In these tremendous days,
when out of the ashes of the en-
pire new aspirations and hopes
are arising for all civilized people,
we, who have stayed at home,
have an unanswerable and un-
avoidable obligation to preserve
the welfare of the men who have
crossed half a world to fight for
us. These men are part of the
promise of the coming years for
America. Anything that we can
do to maintain the freshness of
their outlook, to conserve their
usefulness to their native land,
to show our gratitude for what
they have offered to lay down
for US and for the decent princi-
Piles of mankind, we are in sim
pie honor bound to do.
Americas task in the war is
not done until her men come
home again.
When you give to the United
War Work Campaign you give to
your own flesh and blood, but are
strengthening the pulse beats of
the nations heart. Therefore,
carry on and do your utmost to
make this wise and noble cam
paign an overwhelming success.

centage of clean fruit will run
over 95 per cent. This orchard
was not properly SPRAYED last
year and produced very little
marketable fruit. About three
years ago, however, this orchard
was well sprayed and at the time
of picking, a typical tree was
selected and the fruit carefully
sorted. 1t was found that this
tree, which was of medium size,
bore 156 pounds of clean fruit
and ten pounds of wormy fruit.
With such demonstrations of the
value of spraying, it must be evil
dent to all who have fruit trees
that neglecting to spray is a
matter of gross extravaganza
which no farmer can afford in
these days.
One of the best crops of Bart
lett pears which was observed
was that of d. H. Cluff, of Pima.
This orchard contains little
over one acre. Two years ago
the crop was sold for more than
81, 200. Last year, the fruit was
light owing to severe injury by
pear blight. This year, how
ever. the blight did not appear
until a considerable proportion
of the fruit had become we'll set.
The pears in this orchard are
now being sold at Pima for six
cents pound.
The work which the crop pest
inspectors are doing under the
State crop pest law, is designed
particularly to produce the larger
crops. In part this is accom-
plished by work to keep out pests
which are not already established
in the State. In addition, direct
efforts toward larger crop pro-
duction, such as the fruit in
spection work in Graham county,
results in great advantage to the
producers. While it is true that
many continue to produce crops
of wormy fruit this cannot be on
account of inability to get good
results from spraying, since it
has been demonstrated year after
year that spraying will make it
possible to produce good COM
mercial crops. There are few,
if any, fruit growing districts in
the country which are as favor
ably located with respect to
markets as is Graham county.
Farmers in Graham county,
therefore, who have orchards
| to which they are not able to
give proper attention, should
make an effort to rent them to
responsible parties with agree
ments to spray properly as ad-
vised by the agents of the State
Commission of Agriculture and
Horticulture. By so doing large
quantities of fruit can be saved
from. destruction by the codling
worms. Insect pests on Ameri-
can farms are among the allies
of the Huns and no farmer
should be satisfied with what he
is contributing toward the win
ming of the war when he per-
mits valuable fruit crop to be
largely wasted.

SPRAYED ORCHARDS
Save Thousands Of Dollars
Worth of Fruit in the
Gila Valley

On a recent visit to Graham
county had an opportunity to
visit a number of fruit orchards
all the way from the Artesia dis
trict through to Pima. | was
accompanied by H. Kimball Max
ham, Crop Pest Inspector, who
has had general charge of fruit
tree spraying and inspection
work in Graham county.
Several orchards were seen
where no spraying had been done
or where too few applications of
poisons had been made for salts
factory results. In such orchards
the apples and pears were of
little or no value for marketing
as fresh fruit. In some cases ar
rangements have been made for
drying or canning uninjured por-
tions of the fruit. This method
of utilizing for human consump-
tion what would otherwise be
wasted or fed to hogs should be
adopted more generally in Gra-
ham county as well as in other
fruit growing sections of the
State. Even those who spray
successfully will always have
some fruit damaged by insects
Or otherwise classed as culls
which can be dried or canned.
Very striking results from
spraying were observed in many
orchards, particularly those lying
between Thatcher and Pima.
These orchards had been more
carefully sprayed than those in
other sections of the county.
The results as whole in these
well.sprayed orchards were as
good as could be found in a SINH
lar number of orchards in any
fruit growing district in the
country. 1t is true that there
was some variation in the results
but, considered as a whole. it is
very evident that spraying has
saved many thousands of dollars
worth of fruit in Graham county
this year. Judging from the CON-
paratively few orchards which
it was possible to visit during
the course of two days | do not
hesitate to say that this saving
will exceed $25, 900.
One of the most striking in
stances of good results from
spraying was noted on the or
chard of Alexander Hunt, near
Thatcher, rented this season by
R. A.. Whitney. Although this
orchard was Immediately adjoin.
ing another one which had not
been sprayed, it was estimated
that 80 per cent of the fruit or
the SPRAYED trees was free from
worms. In the unsprayed or.
chards the proportion free from
worms was about the reverse Of
this. 1t would not be far wrong
to say that 80 per cent of the
unsprayed fruit was wormy.,
Perhaps the most valuable fruit
crop in Graham county found in
a single orchard is that of j. H.
Mack. of Pima. This orchard
has been sprayed five times this
season by Mr.. Markham, or un.
der his supervision, and the per-

DIED LATER At HOSPITAL
John Zuidweg Who Was on Motorcycle
With Sorensen Thrown 40 Feet But
Escapes with Only Slight Bruises
AS Result of the Accident.

Speed and more speed claimed an
other Kenosha victim early today when
Louis I. Sorenson, aged 10 years, son
of Christian Sorenson residing on Balm
Avenue, just South of Salem Avenue
died at the Kenosha Hospital as a re-
suit of injuries received late Sunday
afternoon. The motorcycle on which
Sorenson was riding at terrific rate
of speed ehashed into mail box post
on the Sheridan Road on Stern s Hill.
Sorenson g skull was fractured.
John Zuidweg, No. 226 Norman Ave
nue. who was riding on the motorcycle
with Sorenson was thrown forty feet
through the air but in some miraculous
manner he escaped without serious in
juries and outside of few bruises of a
slight nature he was uninjured.
The accident occurred just before
FIVE o'clock Sunday afternoon and Sor-
enson died at the hospital just after
three 'clock this morning, without re-
gaining consciousness. His skull was
fractured.
Sorenson and Zuidweg had gone out
for an afternoon ride and they were
returning to Kenosha at the time the
accident took place. They were COM
ing up the hill with Sorenson guiding
the machine. Zuidweg told the police
after he had been brought to Kenosha
that the motorcycle was running at a
rate of sixty miles an hour. 1t APP
peared to strike something in the road
and crashed into a mail box post. Scr
enson was thrown against the post and
zuidweg was thrown into the ditch.
There were many automobiles on the
road and people from these automobiles
picked up the injured man. It was seen
at once that Sorenson was very SER
iously injured and the police ambulance
was summoned and Sorenson as brought
to Kenosha. A portion of his skull had
been torn out by the force of the i'm
pact with the post.
DR.. Lansdowne attended the injured
man after he was brought to the hospi-
toll but the examination of his wound
showed that he had been fatally in.
jured and members of his family were
hurriedly summoned to the hospital.
The victim of the accident was born
in Kenosha, January 6, 1899 and he
had spent his entire life in the city.
In recent months he had been employed
at the plant of the Hall Lamp Com
pany. He was an expert in handling
the motor cycle and people who wit
messed the accident declared that it
was largely due to the terrific speed
at which the machine was running,
The funeral of Sorenson will be held
from the family home on Wednesday af-
ternoon with interment at Green Ridge,
The coroner is making an investigation
of the accident this afternoon but it
is not expected that he will find it nee
essary to hold formal inquest.
