ARIZONA GIVEN BIG
 BOOST BY WESTCARD

That Arizona and New Mexico are receiving much good advertising throughout the east by the American Automobile association, with head quarters in Washington, D. C., and New York, is evidenced by recent is- sue of a map of these two states, in- cluding much information of interest to tourists who contemplate trip through the west. Two pages of the map are given tp the following state ment by A. l.. V'estgard:
 "In the entire United States there is no region that surpasses Arizona and New Mexico in natural attrac- tions. The scenic variety, the gorge ous colorings of cliffs and rocks, the Indian tribes i,l pueblos and on reser- vations, prehistoric ruins and cave dwellings, mountains, canyons and plateaus, forests and deserts with most unique vegetation, mining and agri- cultural regions, hunting and fishing and citrate ideal for outdoor life; peoples with different customs, cos tunes s;id languages; history ranging fror: prehistoric civilization, early oc- cupation by the Spanish conquesta- dores and wild frontier life to the peaceful and progressive pursuits of its present day citizens, all is of sur passing interest to tourists"

MORE POLICY THAN HONESTY

Two piles of apples lay on the ground. One contained large size and rosy selection; the fruit of the other was green and small.
 Large on the top, sir, and small at the bottom?" inquired the new as- sistant of his master, as he prepared to fill barrel.
 Certainly not" replied the farmer, virtuously. Honesty is the best pol icy, my boy. Put the little apples at the top and the large ones at the bot tom."
 The assistant complied. His master was evidently as green as his greenest fruit.
 "Is. the barrel full, my lad?" asked the farmer.
 "Yes," answered the assistant.
 "Goodw said the farmer. "Now turn it upside down and label it."

bulbs in such way that the tips are three or four inches beneath the sur face. Four inches is none too deep if the soil is light and sandy, while slightly less depth is desirable in heavy soils. Place the bulbs four to six inches apart each way and firm the soil about them when planting. A top dressing of two inches of well-de- cayed stable manure will put the bed in good shape for the winter. Such bed should give mass of bloom in the spring.
 These hardy bulbs may also be planted promiscuously among the shrubbery where the flowers, appear ing early, brighten up the place be- fore the foliage and blooms of the shrubs begin to make show.--R. A.. McGinty, Colorado Agricultural Col lege, Fort Collins, Colo.

Storing Potatoes

Storing Potatoes
 Potatoes is potatoes" Have you used the necessary precaution to in sure what you have left for future reference? Indications point toward 5-cent spuds next spring, so you can't afford to neglect your storage facili- ties.
 Is your cellar properly ventilated so that air can circulate inside and at the same time keep the frost out? If you have to shut the cellar up completely at night, open the doors next day when the sun comes out and danger of frost is past. Let the cellar air out thoroughly. r.
 See that potatoes piled in bins are not too deep. It pays to make smaller bins and fix them so that fresh air can circulate under and around. .
 If potatoes are stored in sacks, change the position of each sack every 15 to 30 days. This not only saves the sack, but keeps the potatoes from lying in one position too long, and

Hogging Down Corn

Hogging down corn is a common practice where large number of hogs are grown for market. One acre of corn hogged down will produce more pork at less cost than when husked and hand fed. Where hogs are available this practice has a double value of first saving all the labor of harvesting the crop and, second, of leaving the full fertilizing value of the corn crop, in the form of decaying stalks and the droppings from the pigs, evenly distributed over the field.
 The gross returns from a 50-bushel acre of corn when hogged down, calcu- lated on the basis of actual results se- cured by farmers, with pork at 20 cents a pound, would amount to S122 per acre. The same acre of corn, if cut, shocked, husked and sold in the usual way at s1.90 per bushel, would amount to $95. This gives a gross profit of $27 an acre in favor of hog ging down the corn.

 Pit storage should only be used in extreme emergency. However, if you have to store in pits, be sure to fix ventilators and fix them right. Use lots of straw and if possible use ma nure also to help keep out the frost.

 Lesson 20. Cooperative poultry marketing associations. In addition to the regular lesson material, bulletins and circulars deal ing with poultry subjects will be sent the students at frequent intervals throughout the course. Wherever sufficiently large groups of students are found who can come together for meetings, a member of the poultry de- partment will visit them as ire auently as possible to discuss certain phases of the work, to conduct dem- onstrations on culling of flocks, capon- izing, etc., and to assist those who may desire help with their own poul- try focks.
 Students should be at least 15 years of age.
 It is believed that the course will be of especial benefit to the following classes of students: The ranch wife who desires to make the most profit from the bird she is caring for.
 The rancher who desires a profit able side line. The ambitious boy or girl who de- sires to keep poultry for profit. The city man or woman who is in- tending to go into ranching or poul- try raising or who keeps backyard flock.

Farmer Ought Not Sell His StOck-ShOuld Feed 1t

It is customary for the average farmer to sell his steers and sheep to the feeder. This is a mistake. The man who owns land, has his own feed and needs manure for his soil, should feed out at least all the stock he raises. Feeding in large numbers may be considered gamble, but the farmeI'Awho owns land and who stays in the feeding business every year will be more prosperous in the end than the farmer who does not feed but sells his stock to be fed by some one else. Some years there will be loss on the feeding operation if the increased yields secured by the use of manure is not considered, but on an average over a number of years there is satisfactory profit on the feeding operation. The man who owns land, raises his feed and especially his own stock, should by all means feed regu- larly every year.
 The man who owns no land has no use for manure, raises no feed and has to buy what he needs, should leave feeding alone.

Marquette County Supervisors Ap-
pointed Legislators a Committee.

County Clerk Wall received a let
ter from the clerk OF Marquette coun-
ty last Tuesday, stating that the SUI
pervisors of that county have ap-
pointed the legislators OF their conn-
ty committee to attend the meeting
OF the railroad commission at which
the telephone company will ask for

rural communities should have leni-
ent toll rates and that the subject of
lenient rates in this upper peninsula
is an important one to the future de-
veiopment of this section OF the state.
II is q matter that the Iron county
board should be interested in. The
telephone company asks for the privi-
lege OF raising the rate on phones
in the city OF Crystal Falls from SIS
per year to S21.00. The increase is
not enough to make much fuss over,
but. taken into consideration with the
service that Is being given, II is lot.

board Is as follows:

olntion authorizing the chairman to

quest OF the Michigan Bell Telephone
Company for increase of toll rates

Lansing on January 18th, 1919.
The chairman OF our board asked
me to write you stating that this
county will have delegation present
at that meeting with a number o
petitions setting forth the need o.
lenient toll for rural districts. III

portance to the Upper Peninsula, anC

this matter, and IL you agree witt
him. see that proper steps are takeI
to protect your own county in thi
matter. He also wishes to state tina
