Ne,0s of Interest Gathered Here and There in tue State
Ex.Soldier Killed by Train.

Shortly after freight train pulled out of the yards Wednesday morning some track workers found man lying alongside of the track near the shops badly bruised about the head and in sensible. They picked him up and brought him to town, and an exami- nation by the doctors disclosed that his skull had been crushed in three places, and there was no hopes of sav- ing his life. He expired shortly aft erwards. A search of his effects dis closed that his name was Buster E.. Wilson, and that he had been private in Co. E, 111th Ammunition Train, Camp Bowie, Texas, but had recently been dishonorably discharged. The discharge recited that his home was at Morse, Okla, and gave his age as IS years at the date of his enlistment a year ago. No one saw the accident that cost the young man his life, but he was observed by the trainmen standing by the side of the track as the freight train was pulling out, ind 1t is supposed he attempted to board 1t to steal ride, and misjudging the speed was thrown and struck his head on the rails of the switch tracks, Winslow Mail.

STATE HEADQUARTERS
 FOR WAR WORK LEASED

The State Council of Defense, the State Food Administration and the Central Chapter of the Arizona Red Cross have secured permanent quar- ters for the period of the war by a lease upon the Central school prop erty in Phoenix, in downtown local ity opposite the Federal building. The structure is owned by the Babbitt company, which has been prevented by war conditions from the erection of large office building. It has been abandoned by the local school dis trict, but is declared by the city build ing inspector to be structurally safe for the use now intended. Sixteen large rooms thus are available for the needs of the three institutions, which have developed in large degree during the past year and which must occupy even a larger field in the future.

New Bug Collection.

A department of entomology has been established in the College of Az. riculture in the University of Arizona and Dr. Chas. T. Vorheis, formerly in the department of zoology, has been made head of this new department and entomologist of the Agricultural Experiment Station.
 With the advent of hot weather and its accompanying swarms of bugs an increasing number of inquiries and requests for information on the con- trol of insect pests are coming to the new department. In addition to an- swering such inquiries, carrying on re- search work and teaching such ento- mology as will meet the needs of stu dents in agriculture, Dr. Vorheis will at once begin the task of making a collection of the insects of the state. This will eventually be made as con- plete as possible, but attention will at first be directed to those insects of economic importance.

TROUBLE BUGS DESTROY;
 HOW TO KILL THEM

A number of reports have come to me that potato beetles are working havoc with several potato patches in the city. These should be looked after at once before they get the upper hand over the garden.
 To combat this beetle use the fol- lowing at this rate: One pound of ar senate of lead, one pound of soap to 25 gallons of water. Stir well and spray the plants, giving them a good treatment. This treatment will Kill other pests which do damage to crops.
 The Colorado Potato Beetle is rath- CT a round fellow with striped, hard shelled wings. In the young or larvae stage they are reddish pink with black spots along their sides. Each female Is capable of laying 1,s00 to 1900 eggs each season, so one can easily see how fast they multiply. The adult passes the winter in the soil and comes out again with the warm days of the following spring. When the females find suitable place they lay their eggs, which hatch in very few days time and the potato growers troubles begin.
 This is one of the worst potato pests we have and should be put under con- trol at once. It can be done at very small cost if done at once. After they once get into the garden the grower will realize that he cannot grow bugs and potatoes at the same.
 Paris green can be used, but it is not as good as arsenate of lead. Use it the same as above.

Our Sorghum Crnn.

Arizona had 37,0O0 acres of grain sorghum last year. These were prin. cipally milo maize, but a considerable quantity of feterita, kaffir, hegari dorso and shallu were also grown. IL is ceded that large increase in the acreage to be devoted to the grain sor- ghum should result this season due to several reasons, including the use of these grains as wheat substitutes, and the greater need for these crops for silage and stock food. The agricul- tural college of the University of Ari- zona has estimated that our increased grain sorghum acreage including dry farm and irrigated districts should easily reach 15 per cent. which would give for 1918 a total of 42,550 acres devoted to these crops.
