PROTECT YOUR CORN
FROM WEEYIL DAMAGE
THE BLACK WEEVlL oESTROY0
LARGE QUANTITIES OF CORN
EACH YEAR.
CAUSES IMMENSE LOSSES
Carbon Bisulphide, Properly Used,
Will XIII the Weev!I and Save
the Corn.

The rice weeviI, commonly called
the black weevil. does the greatest
damage to corn. This insect will at
tack the corn In the field, consequent
ly one must use measures that will re-
duce such damage. The only method
of lessening the field ravages Is 10
field select the seed corn In order 20
be sure Of getting ears with tight
shuck coverings. The ends of the ears
should be especially well covered as
this also reduces the damage OF the
corn ear or cotton boil worm. Field
infested corn should be harvested
earlier than other corn. By pulling II
with the shuck on many or the Wee
wills may be removed. Such corn can
be fed very early or 1t may be placed
latter shucking) In a very tight bin
and treated with carbon bisulphide
to kill the weevils.
Carbon bisulphide is liquid which
passes into a gas very quickly after
exposure The gas is inflammable, so
keep lights and fires away. 1t is heaV-
Ter than air. hence II shallow dishes
containing the liquid are set upon the
corn the gas formed will pass down
through the corn. 1t Is necessary that
the gas come in direct contact with
the weevils for at least As minutes to
kill them. This makes 1t necessary
! to use one pound Of carbon bisulphide
for every 100 cubic feet Of space in .
tight bin, but if 1t Is slightly open the
/, amount to use should be two and one
half to three times as much. This
fumigating should be done on a warm,
still day, as the weevil begins to HI
bernate at a temperature slightly
below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. All
buildings so treated should be well
ventilated "a to 4s hours after fumiga-
ton. There is no danger OF injuring
the termination of the corn. provid'
ed it is dry, even by using still great
er amounts than mentioned above

HATCH CHICKS EARLY
in THE Spring
Many Reasons Why This Practice
Best.

Early Matching next spring is neces'
sary II the desired increase in produe-
ton of poultry is attained. 1t Is also
necessary, during the winter, that
farmers save young hens and pullets'
so they will be on hand for stock in
the spring. The stock OF poultry has
been reduced considerably this fall by
a widespread sale. for market, OF
young hens and pullet7. Therefore, IT
Is necessary to conserve stock now.
or else the shortage may interfere Sc
riously with the production program.
In view of the stock shortage. to XIII
a good hen now IS TO reduce the po-
tential egg production next year any
where from five to twelve dozen eggs.
Every Matching in the spring will
increase the number and size of fowls
and the number Of eggs produced next
year. It will result In bigger birds.
and birds that will lay In the winter
months.
Every farmer is urged to start the
Matching season earlier than usual
next year, either by incubation or
natural methods, II the hens Will sit
earlier.
The chickens first hatchef in the
spring are the ones that are largest
in the summer, that mature first In
the fall, and that lay eggs in the win
ter. Furthermore, they are the ones
that will want TO sit early the follow
ing spring which, in turn, VIII hatch
earlier chickcns-and so he cycle
! will continue IN the contrary, chick
ems Matched late in the spring do not
| mature until so late IN the fall that
they viii rot become winter layers.
They will rot sit until late IL the next
spring, ard so another cycle Of late
| maturing, late la--ine fowls Is estab.

Making Fine Record

Chauncey J. Woods, one of Holbrook's young men with tn e American Expedi- tionary forces in France, is making a fine record as a member of an anti-aircraft battery. A letter received from him a few days ago by his father, Jos. F. Woods, states that his battery had already brought down a German plane and expected to keep on with the good work. The many friends of MT. Woods in Holbrook are proud of his record and they expect to continue to hear good reports from him.

Arizona Youth Is
 Honored by Marines

One out of fifty is the pro- portion in which United States marines were selected for the first marine corps officers training camp at Quantico, Va. Among those appointed because of their exceptional ability as sea- soldiers is Irving A. Jenn- ings of Taylor, Ariz.
 Corp. Jennings enlisted at Salt Lake, Utah, June, 1917, is now at the Quantico camp, studying the latest develop ments of overseas warfare and training to command troops of marines in the front line trenches in France or wherever he may be or dered after finishing the course. He is attached to company B.
 Appointment to the first officers camp is regarded as a signal distinction, and Jennings is working hard to show that his officers made no mistake in picking him out.
 A second marine corps officers training camp will be opened about Aug. 1. to be followed by a third in November. Jennings was eligible for this appointment because he had completed his recruit training as a marine. Men now enlisting in the marine corps may complete their recruit train ing in time to be eligible for appointment to the later camps.

ing more than 500 gallons
 of a fine grade of oil every day from the hole which is down only 270 feet. With no intent to make an invidi- ous comparison and with all due respect to the merits of the Seven Lakes oil field,
 which possesses the same formation as does the Hol- brook field, MT. Mills states that in his opinion Holbrook will yield much larger quan- titles of oil because of the more favorable structure allowing oil to accumulate. He has always had the ut most confidence in this field and this has been strength ened enormously since his visit to the neighboring oil field where oil is being found in what he regards as not the most favorable structure, proving that the Pennsyl- van'ia formation in this county must carry great quantities of oil as it does in many of the great oil fields of the country and that to find it under pressure it is only necessary to find a place where it can conveniently gather. This place has been found some 20 miles south west of Holbrook where the Pennsylvania forma a tion folds, creating what is now known as the Great Holbrook anticline.
 MT. Mills is negotiating with several parties who are anxious to secure an interest in his holdings. He expects soon to make a deal whereby he will retain an interest, after which he will offer his service to Uncle Sam.

Republicans Organising

Andrew Baumert IT,, of Phoenix, secretary of the republican state central com mittee, spent several days this week in Navajo and Apache counties, organizing the members of the party for the coming campaign. The editor of the News enjoyed a pleasant call from the gentleman Monday.
 MT. Baumert feels con- fident of victory this fall for Thos. B. Campbell, candi- date for governor. At the same time he expects his party to elect a lot of others on the county and state tickets.
