Shells Help Oil eeoIoalst.

The little jellylike animals which
the scientist calls Foraminlfera swarm
so abundantly in the ser that their
tiny cast-off shells in .e places
make up a considerable part of the
sediments which are laid down on
the sea bottom and which in time
may become beds of rock in n land
area. The small size and the COM
pactness of these shells protect them
from some of the accidents that be
fall the remains Of larger animals, so
that in many samples of well borngs
the Foramnifera are the only shells
that have survived in recognizable
form the viclssltudes of drilling. Tn
the hands of the specialist trained to
identify fossils, the Foramlnifera
may furnish the only available clue
to the age of rock inclosing them
and consequently to the existence Of
strata or structure favorable or un-
favorable to the accumulation of oil,
gas or water, according to the United
States geological survey.

PRINCES MEMORY WAS GOOD
Heir to British Throne Had One Quail
Ity That is Indispensable
to Politician.

On one occasion Mr.. Louis Sterne,
an engineer and inventor and a
friend Of Charles Dickens, showed the
late Edward VII, then prince of
Wales, his exhibits at South Kensing-
ton and the Crystal palace
"The next time l met the prince"
said Mr.. Sterne, Il was crossing
Picadllly, at the top of ST. james
street. In trying to escape being run
down / ran directly into the arms
Of his royal highness. He at once
recognized me and said: Mr.. Sterne,
you should give this traffic time and
never cross the bows / expressed
surprise that he should recognize me,
to which he replied that he never for
got either face or name If associated
with any matter of interest"
Mr.. Sterne met the prince again
at picture exhibition where a por-
trait of the late w. II. Smith was
hung. Turning to the princess, his
royal highness said:
'Hallo, there's Smith !"
AT once man standing near turned
around and acknowledged the recog-
milton, offering his hand which the
prince unhesitatingly accepted. When
this man, whose name happened to
be Smith, recognized the prince, he
became embarrassed and, with the lady
who accompanied him, made his exit
as soon as possible.

SAHARA MAY BE RECLAIMED
Good Possibility Of lts Being Made
into a Reasonably Productive
Agricultural Country.

That the Sahara will some day
blossom like the rose" or at any rate
like a reasonably productive agrlcul-
tural country is the gist Of an article
by j. Nicholas Brusse In La Nation Of
Paris. For more than a quarter Of a
century, Mr. Brusse declares, although
people in general have thought of the
Sahara as an enormous, permanently
hopeless expanse of sand those ac-
quainted with the results of a geo
graphical survey conducted about 1893
have known also that the Sahara Is
not absolutely unfit for either plant or
animal life. Rain falls sometimes In
the great desert and there are under
ground streams that could be made
available for water The present cases
could be developed and others created,
provided a beginning were made by
establishing strategic roads ana intro
ducing a sense Of law and order among
the desert tribes for the security Of
those who were trying to develop the
country. In its entirety the region in
Guided In the Sahara contains already
good deal Of spontaneous vegeta-
tion; it grows a number of forage
plants and shrubs that serve as pas
turage for caravans, and could doubt
less be improved and made valuable
by cultivation. Fig trees, apricots,
peaches, grapes and various cereals
have been grown in the GASES.

THE PLAIN TRUTH


Somehow or another we have heard
more about the high cost and poor
quality of childrens clothing this
year than ever before. Time was
when a good pair of children's. shoes
would last through the better part of
school year. We know well nigh
distracted mothers who are this win
ter trying to make $3.50 pair of
children's shoes last from one pay
day to the next We know how some
mothers have worried to keep pair
of As cent stockings patched and
darned to last from Sunday school to
the next Saturday night. This state
ment is not overdrawn. The truth
would reveal perhaps that millions of

planting milo maize or corn the same
season the grain is harvested This
system has enabled the farmers 10
reap a rich harvest of dollars.
Melons
Cantaloupes and water melons are
grown in large quantities and shipped
all over the country. These products
bring good prices. From SIS to 81 a
crate is paid and they equal in flavor
the famou Rocky Ford melons. The
melon crop in this valley last year
averaged from $3.50 to SITS per acre
to the farmers. The land in many
sections of this valley is we'll adapted
to cantaloupe and melon growing.
Vegetables and Fruit
Other crops that prove very sue
cessful in this valley are beans, peas
and an endless variety of other vege-
tables. Choice fruits, such as oran-
ges, grape fruit, lemons, citrons, dates
pears, figs, olives, peaches, apricots
and other varieties, grow in profusion.
Poultry and Stock Raising
Stock raising is carried on here on
very large scale. Over $4,000 head
of beef cattle were shipped to market
from this section. There is now over
$4,000 head of dairy stock in the val
ley and butterfat is bringing a good
price at our local creameries. Hogs
may be raised in this valley with less
danger of disease than elsewhere. The
dry atmosphere, warm sun shiny days
is the best destroyer of disease known
to stock raisers. Thousands of hogs
are in this valley. On one farm alone
there are 1000 hogs and 800 brood
sows.
AS for poultry, it seems almost as
easy to raise turkeys here as it is to
raise chickens. Both turkeys and
chickens are raised in this valley and
on very large scale. Geese and
ducks also are raised in this section
and many are the fortunes that have
been made on small poultry farm.
Eggs bring a good price the year
round and there is always a market
for young and old chickens.
How Much to Start?
Many people imagine that it re-
quires fortune to buy a farm in Ari-
zona or even rent one. The amount
necessary to begin an independent
existence upon an Arizona ranch de-
pends a good deal upon the individual.
His ability as farmer and the amount
he can cultivate properly. Right here
l wish to say that it is necessary for
a man to have something to start

WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITIES OF
SALT RIVER VALLEY AND ARIZONA
BY S. L. Daniels

Mesa, Gem City of the Salt River
valley, in the heart of the agricultural
district and the geographical centre
of the state, is reached by the South
egn Pacific and Arizona Eastern Rail-
roads and by several stage lines. One
of these stage lines is known as the
Apache Trail, highway for auto
stages from Phoenix to Globe passing
the great Roosevelt dam.
The inquiry is constantly being
made as to what is the chief product
of the Salt River Valley, in which
Mesa is the industrial centre. The
answer to this query is: alfalfa and
long staple cotton. Alfalfa is one Of
the most important crops 1t yields
five to six cuttings of hay, or if de-
sired, produces profitable crops of
seeds and affords two or three months
pasturage for stock During the past
season, alfalfa sold for SIS to $40 a
ton and the cost of production was
from SO to IS per ton. An even larger
profit is being realized by farmers
who are feeding their alfalfa to live
stock, such as hogs, dairy COWS, etc.
reap a rich harvest of dollars.
Cotton Raising
Next in Importance is the produc-
tion of long staple cotton. During the
season just closed, cotton raising al
most jumped to first place. The high
est grade cotton grown in the Salt
River valley is of the Pima variety.
1t is used principally to make auto
tires, being best adapted for the manu-
facture of this commodity. Last year
there were 250O acres planted in Long
Staple cotton, while this year the ac-
reage will exceed $500. AS stated
the Pima variety of the Egyptian or
Arizona long staple cotton is the best
grade and commands the highest price
of any in the state. The following
figures show the actual cost per acre
of producing this cotton
