SEED ON FARMS
Farmers Should Ever Be on the
Alert for Appearance of New
PerniciouS Plants.
INTRODUCED IN MANY WAYS
important Point Regarding Control 10
90 Destroy All Weeds Before They
Have Gained Headway and
Prevent Spread.
Trom the Omitted States Department Of
Agriculture.)

From the Omitted States Department Of
Agriculture.)
No matter how careful a man may
be In preventing weeds from going
to seed on his land, most Of his work
will be for nothing If he permits seeds
to be constantly brought to his farm
from the outside. Another important
point regarding weed control is to de-
stroy pernicious weeds before they
have gained sufficient Roadway to do
serious damage. Farmers should ever
be on thu alert for the appearance of
new weeds which are being introduced
and for old weeds which are develop
ing noxious tendencies. When plant
shows any tendency toward becoming
a. troublesome weed 1t should be called
to the attention of someone In au-
thorlty and every effort made to keep
It under control.
Weeds may be brought to the farm
In various ways. The principal source
of Introduction is through seeds.
introducing Weed Seed In Crop Seeds.
Many Of the purchased grain. clover
and grass seeds contain weed seeds
as impurities. How can the farmer
purchase clean seed? In no perma.
nent way will the quality of seed Of
fered for sale be greatly improved ex.
/cept by greater knowledge and alert
ness on the part Of the consumer.
First, the farmer should know what
constitutes good seed; second, he
should know fairly closely what high
grade seed is worth; and, third, he
should be willing to pay fair price
for 1t. Ladty on one or more OF
these points is responsible for most Of
the farmers trouble over poor seeds.
Seedsmen say that they are forced to
carry poor seeds In stock because
many farmers will not pay for the bet
ter grades. Cheap seeds are really
the most expensive kind that can be
purchased.
In improving his knowledge of what
constitutes good seeds, the farmer will
find the advice of the state agricultu-
raj experiment stations and the United
States department of agriculture Of
gladly test samples of seeds for farm
ers free of charge. That test will show
whether there are any weed seeds or
other impurities present and the per-
centage Of termination of the crop
seed. In purchasing seed of alfalfa
and clover the most important point to
consider is the presence Of dodder
seed. Glover seed should also be ex-
amined for seeds of the plantains.
Introducing Weed Seeds In Stock
Feeds.
Some kinds Of stock feed are free
of weed seeds, while others are not.
Cottonseed meal, oil meal, brewers
and distillers' grains. corn bran, mid
dlings and the gluten feeds are prac-
tically free Of weed seeds; but mo-

CAMPAIGN FOR DIVISION
 OF MARICOPA CONTY IS
 BEGUN BY MESA CITIZENS

MEGA, Dec. 10.-Campaign for sep sration from Maricopa county of that portion of the county south of the Salt River has been launched here by a number of citizens. At a meeting it was decided to take hold of the prop osition at once and endeavor to push it through to a successful conclusion
 Those here favoring separation and the formation of a new county south of the river take the stand that Mari copa county as al present constituted is too unwseldly Principal points south of the river which would be in the new county are Mesa, Chandler. Gilbert. Egypt and Tempe.
 A few years ago county division was prevented by action of the governor. who gave notice that he would not sign the bill if passed by the Iegisla- ture.
 Conditions are different under the new law and it is now up to the voters.

 Army aviators today expressed the opinion that by flying at hours when the winds are generally favorable, es- pecially in the crossing of mountain ranges in California and Arizona. the actual flying time for the entire jour. ney can be cut to 14 hours. That would necessitate a speed of more than S5 miles an hour.

NO RELAXATION eY
 FAIR PRICE BOARDS TO
 PREVENT PROFiTEERiNS

PHOENIX. Dec. 13.-There will be no relaxation on the part of fair price boards of Arizona in preventing prof teering and in seeking that both the merchants and public get a square deal. i, was stoutly affirmed at the state headquarters of the food admin. st-ation today.
 Tim 1thy A. Riordan. the federal food administrator for Arizona. has sent out a letter 10 the chairmen of .he 34 iair price boards of this state pointing out that although the govern ment has made the maximum margin of lrcfi sufficiently large to cover al. cases this does not mean that these margins should be taken advantage 0. to the fullest extent.
 The new margins he says. are considerably higher than heretofore. and are designed to protect those mer. chants who are located in remote dis. tricts away from the railroad. and whose cost of doing business is natur. ally much higher than in the more ;hickly populated communities con. ,A ,f,
 We quite realize" he continues s ":ha. q! merchants "a- 'akc full ad' vantage O. these margins without be. ing technically guilty O: profteering but mora,y that is precisely what they would be doing
 The prime objec; Of :he fair price boards is ;o prevent profteering and see that ac;l inc merchants and pub lie get l square deal. and We thinS you will agree with us that it is grossly uata.r icr merchants d1!nl business with the minimum of ex pense to take advantage Of the maxi mum of profit which t inteided tt arr,y only to dealers who. by reason of their location and lack of railroad and other facilities. are forced tC charge the maximum margins of prof in order to carry on their business.

MURDER NOW IS NOT
 eAILAeLe DEFENSE

PHOENIX, Dec. l3.-With the re- storaiion Of capital punishment in Ar;- zona. proclaimed by Gov. George ". P. Hunt. December ,. murder again technically assumes the status Of a non-baiiable offense All murder eases have been bailable during the past two years. or since the abolish,nent of capital punishment.
 Both the state constitution and the statutes provide that persons chareoi with murder cannot be admitted to bail in instances where the proof is evident of the presumption great. These provisions. however. make it more or less discretionary with the individual charged with murder has his preliminary examination as to whether or not he shall be admitted 10 bail But technically. murder is now a non-bailable offense in this in this state.
 In so classifying murder. the state is merely reve-ting to the regulations existing prior 10 two years ago. Be fore that time. murder was a capital ofense in Arizoaa and therefore was nou-bailable in a technical sense ot the word.
 But when capital punishment was voted out :n this state two years ago. i, became bailabe ofense. That is 70 say. a justice of the peace cov.d not refuse ball 70 anyone charged with murder. Under the present con l:,icrs, he c7n legally do so. however.
 Socn after capital punishment was voted cu,, ,he supreme court of the s,a.e hanied down a decision in which i, ruled that all murder cases were ba.labie since the aboiishmeHt Of capital punishment.
