to pass through. To do this the in
fantry should take shelter but not
retreat, for the idea is to allow the
tanks to advance so that they may
be put out of action behind our lines.
The principal task of the infantry is
to meet and repulse the enemy in
fantry, but number of detached
pests should be established behind the
lines for the purpose of serving as a
defence against the tanks.
1.-THE most efficacious infantry mis-
sile against a tank attack Is the ar
mor-piercing bullet, whose effects are
greatly feared by the tank crews, as
these bullets not only penetrate the
armor but afterward produce a fierce
flame which frequently sets fire to the
gasolene reservoir.
'"The best method of attacking a
tank is from it's rear, where the armor
is hghtest and where it is not easy
for the crew to fire on the attackers.
Should a fight against tanks occur in
the streets of a village the infantry is
in a favorable position to attack, as
the men can take shelter in the ruined
houses until the tanks have passed
and then open fire at point-blank

French Front, March 15-Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press.)-
German soldiers are, as was an
nounced several months ago, expert
menting with tanks, but hitherto
of their efforts to copy the war engine
invented by the Allies.
In the meantime it is learned from
many sourceo that serious discomft-
ure has been caused to the Germans
whenever the Allies tanks have been
employed against them. Detailed in
structions have been issued to the
troops as to the methods by which to
meet tank attack. One of the most
rectn orders was captured in the
course of an incursion by Allied
troops into the German lines. 1t reads
as follows:
Trenches of a minimum width of
from 10 to II 1-2 feet and a depth, of
ten feet, also thick mud, form very
serious obstacles to- tanks, which,
however, are easily capable of cross
ing ploughed land or breaking through
barricades. 1t is not worth while to
construct obstacles. 1t is preferable
to attack the tanks.
Tanks approaching the front should
! be attacked by the artillery before
they come into action, even when
there is small chance Of hitting them.
The essential thing is to prevent the
| infantry from following them and in
order to do this the enemy infantry
must be made to fear the zone in the
vicinity of the tanks.
'HThe only practical way of attack
ing the tanks themselves is to place
cannon about the advanced zone Of
the battlefield and by direct fire put
thtse war machines out of action
Every direct hit on a tank kills sew

parent that no crop could long survive if such an increase were unchecked.
 Fortunately, like or hymenop- terous parasites, lady birds, lace wing flies or chrysopas and predaceous flies known as Syrphus flies are very effec- tive as a rule in preventing undue null tiplication. On April 22 the write vis- tied several cotton fields near Chandler where severe damage by the aphis was threatened. No signs of natural en- emies were found in two fields and only slight traces of them in the other fields. Samples of the infested plants were collected and brought to the of flee of the State Entomologist in Phoe- nix to give the parasites, if present, a chance to develop. By the end of the week adult parasites appeared in large numbers from the aphis on these plants. It was found that out of S5 specimens of aphis present on four small plants 49, or 57 per cent, had been parasitiZed.
 Before the death of the parasitized aphis occurs the body of the sinsect turns light brown in color and becomes almost globular in form. The insect before dying attaches itself rigidly to the leaf on which it was feeding. These parasitized insects and the empty shells which remain after the adult parasite emerges are very conspicuous and a farmer should learn to recognize them.
 In the Chandler fields which have been referred to the aphis is doomed, practically speaking, to extermination before it can do any appreciable dam age to the cotton. Each adult female of the parasites is capable of destroy ing around two hundred. aphis individ- uals That is, each adult parasite will parasitize or deposit an egg in the body of each of two hundred or more speci- mems as long as the supply of aphis holds out.
 The effectiveness of parasites, lady birds and other natural enemies of aphis, is dependant on the weather. Cold weather during the crop growing season is unfavorable for the natural enemies and therefore favorable for the aphis. During warm or hot weather the parasites are capable of multiply ing so much faster than the aphis that the latter are relatively unimportant among cotton pests. The natural en- emies of this species of aphis for some reason are much more reliable in the control of the pest on cotton than on melons and other crops. Owing to this indirect relation of the weather to the effectiveness of the parasites it is a common belief among farmers and gar deners that the hot weather destroys the aphis. As a matter of fact the aphis will thrive in our hottest mid summer weather and do much damage if for any reason the parasites and other natural enemies are not active.

PARASITE CONTROLS
 THE COTTON APH|S

(By A. W. Morrill,. State Entomologist)
 During the past two weeks young cotton in many fields in the Salt River Valley have appeared to be in great danger of being destroyed by small greenish or greenish black insects known as the cotton aphis. The same species attacks and sometimes destroys melon vines and is perhaps better known as the melon aphis. It occurs everywhere in the United States where cotton is grown but is not ordinarily of much importance as a cotton pest on account of the effectiveness of it's natural enemies, particularly a. black wasp like parasite.
 There are two forms of the adult winged and wingless females. Males are not known. The body of one of the full grown insects is about a fif- teenth of an inch long. The folded wings in the case of the winged form extend approximately another fifteenth inch beyond the end of the body. The migrating or winged adults spread into the cotton fields from mallow and other weeds which have remained in fested throughout the winter. Eggs are laid on the young cotton plants soon after they come through the ground. These soon hatch and the nymphs in the course of few days develop into wingless adults. These are each capable of giving birth to six to ten young per day. As these in turn become full grown in less than a week and are ready to reproduce it is ap-

VOTES FUR IA YEARS BEFORE
 HE HAS RIGHT

After having voted in Arizona for the past fourteen years, Frank Dietz, one of the best-knoWn residents of Wins low, was in Phoenix on Tuesday for The purpose of taking out his first naturalization papers in the process of becoming a citizen of the United States.
 This case, after investigation by Joseph r. Dillon, United States mar shal, has proved to be one of the strangest in the history of the local federal office and one of the most un- usual in Arizona. It was brought to light only after Mir. Dietz, who served three years in the regular army and who for years had considered himself to be a fully qualified American citiA zen, became acquainted with the re- cent order of the war department mak- ing it imperative that all aliens in the country register. Mir. Dietz was not born in the United States, and inves- tigation and inquiry led to his visit to Phoenix and the taking out of naturall- zation papers.
 Frank Dietz was brought to this country by his parents when he was a boy. At the age of IS he enlisted in the regular army in which he served three years. One of these years was spent at Fort Apache and the remaining two years in Manila in the Philippine islands. He was honorably discharged in 1908. At that time he was wagoner of Troop H, Third Cavalry.
 Leaving the army MT. Detz located in Winslow. and being under the i'm pression that service in the regular army of the United States fulfilled the requirements of citizenship, he voted at every election without a question arising as to his status. For fourteen years he has taken part in every elec- ton at Winslow.
 With the entry of the United States into the war and the recent order of the war department that every alien must register, Mr. Dietz began to look Into his own case, with the result that United States army did not constitute citizenship.
 In order that there might be no fu- lure doubt as to his standing as citi- zen, Mir. Dietz came to Phoenix and sought the advice of United States Marshal Dillon, bringing with him his honorable discharge from the army Marshal Dillon decided that the taking out of naturalization papers was neces- sary, and the initial application was made on Tuesday.
 Although Frank Dietz has voted al every election in Winslow for the pas fourteen years, he will be unable tC vote at the coming election this fall a. he will not be a full-fledged citizen O the United States until next spring Mir. Dietz is a locomotive engineer having a run on the Santa Fe betwee1 Winslow and Gallup. He is 36 year! old and is married

LiNEMEN IN INDIA MUST EAT
(Electrical Experimenter)

It is said that the native in India is extremely particular about regularity in his meals; once accustomed to eat ing at certain hour he must stick to it at all costs. An English engineer had an awkward experience of this when erecting a 1OO-foot steel pole with the aid of about thirty natives and the minimum of tackle. The pole was halfway up when the "headman" intimated that it was dinner time. Only the most desperate entreaties, coupled with threats, prevented the men letting the pole come down with a run, though it had taken several hours to get it into this position,
