Rolling canteens to be sent close behind our firing line.
 am just in receipt of a communi- cation from the War Council of the American Red Cross, announcing the receipt of the following cable from Paris headquarters under date of March 5
 At the request of the United States army the Red Cross has just arranged, to install, with all Ameri- can troops now engaged in fighting the Germans, special front line service. This is development of the front line canteens through which the American Red Cross has, during the past six months, served more than 1000. 900 French poilus with hot drinks, and above all else given friendly boost right up in or near the trenches themselves Today the Red Cross has fifteen rolling canteens behind the lines. From these can teens are sent forward daily, often in the small hours of the night, fifty or more large receptacles containing hot drinks These are served free to the men going on or just coming off duty. The work has proved itself to be of such value to the French that the American army has asked the Red Cross to have this service directly in touch with the medical relief stations nearest the front. The work is often done under heavy shell fire and requires men of great bray cry and sympathy. While the men are glad to have hot drinks, their chief satisfaction consists in the sense that this service gives them of a friend being there to extend helping hand and cheering word at a critical or tired hour American army officers are manifesting keen interest in having this service at the disposal of the American troops"
 What greater privilege can man or woman have than that of help ing along and supporting the work which the American Red Cross IS doing both abroad and at home?
 Today we have women with Dig souls as pure as Gods love itself, and with hearts so stout they will hraye the terrors of death. Seventy five per cent of all the shells that have been fired from the French trenches toward the German lines, and seventy five per cent of all the shells which come from Britain are woman made.
 We have quite supply of clothing tha; has been so generously donated by many of our citizens, for the poor, suffering children of northern France and Belgium under the occupation or the enemy We expect to make shipment of this clothing the iast or this week Anyone having spare clothing are asked to donate it for these suffering people.

(W L. Hayden)

Salt River valley rancherS have been making fully as great progress in preparing for maximum crop pro- duction, as any part of the United States. And it must be admitted that only a few places will be able to show in acreage production, one half as much as will be raised here per acre during 1919.
 This is not a hastily made state ment nor is it caused by an unjust local pride. We have been supplying natures needs here and it must be said that we are building for this maximum production and at the same time making a good profit while so doing.
 To fill our soil with the right kind of humus and nitrogen, we have been planting the inoculated legumes with a pure bacteria culture called westro- bac. It is estimated that we have S5,000 acres in alfalfa, and every spring and fall we are increasing the production by replanting with inocu- lated seed. The summer forage crops are being increased by the planting of the COW peas and soy beans as intercrops. The soy bean is used one wase -and the whippoorwill another. Where possible, we SOW the soy bean right in the same row with the corn or maize, etc, as it grows straight up stalk which allows of cultivation, and also cuts without any trouble, when used for an ensilage crop. The

nitrogen on each acre. Any one of these benefits give a large profit on the investment of this extra seed and inoculation, but allowing for all the direct benefits, it makes the largest kind of farm dividend, and it is cash in hand when the maize is topped. After this crop we can plant this field to alfalfa and feel sure that this alfalfa field will outlive and out produce, under equal conditions, any alfalfa field in the valley, if the alfalfa is inoculated.
 This fall we are not going to be found wanting in the nations cry for more hay and grain. We are going to take advantage of the les sons learned in California, where they planted 20 pounds of barley per acre, and drilled in from 25 to 35 pounds of inoculated vetch. They averaged over 50 sacks per acre where the vetch was used, but where the barley was planted alone. using from 70 to so pounds her acre, the yield was less than half if not total failure. This was done mostly on land con- sidered played out. Can anyone estimate what we can get here on our lands which are not played out?
 
 by this nter-cropping method the bumper grain crops of the state and for that matter, the bumper grain crops of the country.
 Let us all prepare right now and make our plans for these bumper grain crops, which the government needs so much and which our ranches need so much too. There is one thing we must not lose sight of either, and that is that the vetch will give us one or two more cuttings after the grain is taken off, and vetch is the best and richest of all legume plants for hay and yields greater than alfalfa.
 Netch grows the most wonderful of all root systems, spreading as it does like a bushel basket, thus reach ing through the soil and coming in contact with all other roots near it. The nodules being more plentiful and more widely separated than the other legumes. allows the grain roots to draw all the nitrogen needed to pro duce a maximum seed yield. To pro- duce seed it takes more nitrogen than it does just to make hay. and seed is what we will produce this winter. When the grain and vetch field has been plowed and is followed with summer forage crop, the true value of the vetch will be known, for vetch | has no equal.
 The Canada field pea is another | winter growing legume which has been used inter- cropped with grains and makes a fine growth. On one 4O- acre field of barley and peas it is estimated that the peas alone will bring s1O0 per acre as seed, and the barley yield better than 20 sacks. | The sun is our best friend, but fol 1 thousands of years has been burning up the humus in our soil and mak- | ing it almost impossible to have nitro gen. For awhile this condition was a source of worry to most of the student ranchers, but now it is rec | ognized as one of the simplest ant most profitable things we have to do that of putting humus and nitrogen | back into the soil.

BOARD IF STATE COUNCIL
 |S NOW SELECTED

The new state council of defense held an all-day session yesterday in the War Work building and considered many matters of importance.
 Much time was spent in the consid- eration of the personnel of the various standing committees of the council, it being the endeavor to make these con- mittees as thoroughly representative as possible of the various industries of Arizona as well as the geographical division.
 I. Colodny, state directar of voca- tional training under the provisions of the Smith Hughes act. made sugges- tions to the council yesterday con- corning preparatory training for war work which were considered.
 Considerable time of the afternoon session of the council was spent in consideration of and action on the va rious suggestions offered by Dwight B. Heard, chairman of the old council, concerning pending work before the retiring council, which action was needed by the new state council.
 The following executive committee of the new state council was ap- pointed:
 Governor Hunt, chairman; Charles E. Addams vice chairman; Dwight B. Heard, Maricopa county; Mrs. Theo- dora Marsh, Santa Cruz county; Ho- mer R. Wood, Yavapai county; D. T. MacDougal Pima county; w. D. Clay pool Gila county.
 The new state council of defense will resume it's session at 9 o'clock this morning. at which time the mem- bership of the general standing con- mittees probably will be determined, final action upon this having been de- ferred until a time when such mem- bers of the council who have been con- firmed but who are not present at this session, can be heard from.

SOIL FERTILITY AND
 WHAT IS BEST TO USE

whippoorwill is largely used planted between the rows of our cotton, corn, maize, etc, and they form a matted green shade, which helps conserve moisture and keeps weeds and grass under control. Another important step is the planting of these COW peas and soy beans in solid alfalfa for seed, as next year it is expected the acreage planted to these crops
 will be very much larger, and good seed is hard to get these times. The seed from an inoculated plant is much better as the pods are filled
 with all one size seed which germin- ate early.
 Not only do we get greater tonnage
 by this intercropping method, but what we are working for is the pre- pairing the soil for even greater pro- duction of the crops to follow. This is why it pays to always intercrop the legume with every other kind of a plant:
 Say we plant the soy bean or whippoorwill with a maize crop. There are several benefits, first, the maize
 should yield at least from 20 to 25
 per cent more top tonnage: second,
 the beans left in the field make a
 rich feed if used for pasture; third, the stubble and roots leave more humus and benefit in the soil than the maize took out, and last, the nvo-
 ules on the roots, will leave from l 125 to over 200 pounds of pure fixed
