FIRST "DRYr LATIN POPULATION

One extraordinary outcome of the change of Porto Rico to territorial status (Jones bill, March 9 191) has been the adoption of the prohibition of alcoholic intoxcants inside of five months making the Porto Rcans the first Latin population in the world to take such step.
 The Jones act provides that upon petition of 20 per cent of the voters the option to prohibition may be decided at any general election held within five years; otherwise prohibition would take effect automatically year from the passage of the bill. At first it doubted if that many signatures could be obtained. But the interests opposed to prohibi- ton succeeded in getting them At the first general election held last July the in favor prohibi ton about two to one.
 This outcome the extraordinary since alcohol is comparatively little abused in Porto Rico Light wines in daily use by most of the we'll to-do Porto Rican families, but drunkenness is garded as deep disgrace.

being properly fertilized. In the old days when alfalfa did not receive such heavy winter or spring irrigation, the beekeeperS got a good extraction of honey from the first crop of alfalfa: than as the alfalfa is quickly grown rom plenty of water available. we get little honey from the first crop. Much water does not produce seed crop.
 It was really the honey bee that made the Buckeye Valley famous as the great alfalfa seed producer in the united States. and also materially add ing hay. dairy and hog industry, with accompanying high real estate values.
 It Will surprise many to learn that more taxes are paid on bees in Arizona than on swine and poultry. I have sold honey years ago at 25c and butter at l2c. Now it is reversed. It is printers ink that has developed the dairy in- terests. while beekeepers have been slow to advance the bee industry. It may be that our valley is pretty we'll stocked with bees, and it is not my purpose to make more beekeepers, but I am interested in better producers. more honey per colony; properly grading and handling our product to bring . better price.
 If mosquito bar is covered over part of tree before 1t blooms to keep the bees away there will be no fertilization and no fruit, while the unprotected part of the tree will be heavily loaded. Another interesting fact is that many valuable improvements in fruits are made by the honey bee, who by carry ing polen crosses varieties The Logan berry is cross between the Black berry and Raspberry I have had large experience in improving potatoes, the bloom being pollenized by bees, and by planting seeds we get 8 greater sort of varieties. There gre three kinds of bees in a hive, the Queen, mother of all the colony; the worker and the drone. The Queen hatches in sixteen days. In a busy season she lays from two to three thousand eggs daily. The life of a Queen bee is two to four years. The worker bees. undeveloped i females. hatch in 21 days, and their | life during working season is about 46 days. but if matched late in the fall. may live six months.

PLAN ID SET OUT
 s MILLION TREES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

HARRISBURG, Pa., March 10.-Ar- engagements have just been completed for the most extensive reforestation plan that has ever been attempted in | this state, but the war has made such a drain on woodmen that Commits sioner of Forestry Conklin is issuing a call for young men to volunteer their services as tree planters. .Iore than S,000000 trees have to be set out with out delay and while number of state college students have already enrolled for the work, highway department of ficials are anxious to obtain many more men.
 The plans call for the reforestation of lands now owned by the state. many of which were cut over years ago, and which now will havo to be handled scientifically
 ''The state nurseries have about 21,000,000 trees and S,000,000 of these must be put in the ground to prevent serious loss: but owing to the large number of foresters and woodmen who have enlisted, we need men to do the planting" said Commissioner Conklin.
 "The planting season will open about April or 10, and will continue until about May 25 The men who do the work will be we'll cared for in camp paid good wages, given travelling ex- penses. and will have in addition, a valuable experience in the woods. The planters also will know they are doing something to help along their states conservation work. This year we will plant on more denuded hillsides than ever before, if we can obtain the men. ,

BABY BOND SUPPLY
 EXHAUSTED AT YUMA

Baby bonds and thrift stamps were at a premium in Yuma last night. Long before the last booth for the sale or bonds and stamps was closed after strenuous day, and just as the chair man or the day was about to announce the grand march of the thrift ball at the ElkS' club, word came to the
 workers that neither the postoffice nor the banks of Yuma could meet further acquisitions and telegrams were rushed to Phoenix for new supplies.
 Indications were that Yuma would 1 pass the s20,000 mark in the single day drive, a figure in excess of that | reached by Phoenix in it's sensational and spectacular thrift day when ap-
 proximately s17,00o of swat the

 resources shall mingle with those of 1 other sections of the nation in the war of democracy agains autocracy. The
 state officers of the war savings com
 mittee found little real work to do
 here today, the local committee having
 organized so perfectly that the drive
 went along like clockwork.
 The real accomplishment of the
 visit of the state officers here was to inaugurate a movement for the or
 sanization of war savings societies. It is believed that from the schools, lodges, business houses and other
 bodies of men, women and children
 there will come not less than fifty war
 savings societies. The state officers
 left here for Phoenix Sunday morning
 and spent the night in Agua Caliente
 and will reach Phoenix Monday after
 noon.

The Honey Bee

(By E. A. HADSELL Buckeye, Ariz.)
 We find honey and the honey comb referred to in the Bible, even as an article of commerce. as having been used as one of the articles provided for the skilled laborers in the building of King Solomon's Temple, but the in- dustry did not develop until some sev- enty years ago At that time Rev. L.. l.. Longsboth. of Dayton, Ohio, in vented the first American moveable frame beehive and about eight years later my father bought a colony of bees in a nail keg. The bees excited my curiosity and he turned them over to my care. Soon after I invented the square frame beehive, which went into general use with the advent of moveable frame beehives. God gave man the knowledge to control beasts, fowls, and even the insect, including the knowledge to have bees do his bidding. God created the busy bee to carry pollen from bloom to bloom which fertilizes and makes fruit and seed possible The worker bee was created with a flat place on each hind leg. These, called pollen baskets, were car riers for yellow loads taken home to feed the baby bees. A tiny drop of

 It is an established fact that alfalfa different kinds of clover, and other crops will not produce much of seed crop unless the bees have been there to fertilize the bloom; thus the bee is an important element in the large part of the tremendous agricultural industry The moist weather of spring which brings the first crop of red clover ol | alfalfa bloom produces longer coarse flower, hard for the honey bel ] to work in, and for that reason tht first crop is a poor seed crop, it no

MIAMI WAR GARDENS
 RECEIVE B|C BOOST

From Miami the state council has received ringing expressions of Amer icanism. The employees committee in charge of the Inspiration war gar dens has issued proclamation ask ing that every man, woman and child in the district appreciate the necessity of turning over to the na- tion the last possible pound of cop per from the mines and at the same time sustain themselves as far as possible from the yield of the soil ot their doors, for the war if 1t is won, will be won by the producer of the soil.
 The committee prints a letter from Mrs. F. D. Chandler concerning her experience with one of the Inspiration garden plats last year. Her grocery and meat bills, usually very high for family of five, were cut In half, to less than $35 month. At the same time, the housewife writes that the family enjoyed better food and better selection of vegetables on the table. Even yet the garden is doing it's bit, because there were put up during the fall. string beans. 1 tomatoes and dill pickles, while pump
 kin and squashes were stored.

 The Tucson way is cheaper, quicker and effective. The very atmosphere there under the ordinance makes it necessary for her either to leave the town or so to change her life that she prove to the police and the that she has changed.

STATE WHEAT
CROP NORMAL

In spite of the severity of the win
ter and the damage done to the crop
by winter killing, the wheat crop in
Maryland will be normal as to total
number of bushels. At least this is
the prospect at present being enter
tanned by the authorities at the Mary
land Experiment Station.
For while it seemed certain that
the total would fall far below that of
last year and although it may be a
trihc early for predictions to be made
with absolute certainty it is plain
that unless abnormal weather condi-
tions or pests appear between now and
harvest time we may expect the state
TO produce as much as last year pos
sibly more.
The reason for such predictions is
that the increased acreage planted TO
wheat last fall by Maryland farmers
in response TO the plea OF the Govern
mcnt. will offset the damage done by
the winter killing.
The advice Of the experiment sta
tion at this time is for farmers to top
dress their fields with from 200 10
$50 pounds of acid phosphate. with
possibly AN addition of 80 pounds OF
sodium nitrate. This amount of nj
trate at the price at which the Gov
crnment recently sold il to the farm
ers will cost about $l.90 an acre. which
means that the farmer must expect to
get at least ono bushel an acre in
crease in the crop to pay for the nj
trate used. The fertility of the indi-
vidual field will of course, have to be
considered in determining the amount
of fertilizer which will prove profit
able.
Where manure can be secured il
NAV be used with fairly good results,
