Never in years have the potatoes
rotted as badly as this fall, say the
farmers of York county. In some
sections they will not be worth dig
ging. Road Commissioner Sumner
Fogg Of Saco, who hired two men
and paid them 50 a day to dig his
potatoes. only got two bushels in a
day and decided not to dig the bal
ance of the patch. but to pillow it up.
One Buxton road farmer, who had
counted on 600 bushels Of potatoes,
got 40. the rest rotting in the
ground before they were dug because
of the long spell Of wet weather.

A DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to a semu-Gqud form.
In 1883 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to . dry
ponder form with extract Of matted
grains, rithof cane sugar.
This product HoRuck named
Matted Milk. (Name since copied
by others.) Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.

Among other points visited by these gentlemen the rig of the Hobrook Oil Company and the statement made that few better rigs were encountered in any field than the being operated by the Holbrook Company the location for poration purposes also drawing favorable comment from Mr. Crase. On his return from the field and in sation as to the prospects MT. Ritter said:-
 ssWe are coming into the Hobrook Field. When Mr. Woosey and visited the field month ago very
 much pleased with the outlook but after going the

 As indicative of the Allen Companys aggressive policy it be stated that they are purchasing 50 acres in the heart of the Desdemona Texas oil field where the big 16 900 barrel well was recently brought in.
 Another matter which will be undertaken will be the placing of water pipe line to the field from the Chevon and the Little Colorado This matter has been under sderaton for time by B. T. Spencer, at whose in stance the Allen company originally interested in the Holbrook field
 The entrance of this company with it's unlimited back ing to the Holbrook field than anything that has heretofore happened with relation to this field That the endorsement of the field which has created so much have been the pioneers in development efforts we'll taken is self evident It is not such far cry as it may to say that Hobrook likely duplicate the history of Ranger and Burkburnett in the near future.

Through H. C. Closer, in charge of operations in the Hobrook Field, the Wind River Company has made ap- pcaton the Aztec Petroleum Securities Company for

MINING ON THE
 INDIAN RESERVATIONS

The Act permitting the min ing of metalIiferous minerals on Indian Reservations has become a law. As there seems to be considerable confusion concern ing the Act. a letter of inquiry was sent by the Arizona Bureau of Mines to Hon. Carl Hayden. Arizona's representative in Con- gress at Washington. who in- forms the Bureau that the law is imperative until the Secretary of the Interior issues the neees- sary regulations and designates the Indian Reservations or the parts thereof which will be open- ed to prospecting. It is expect ed that the regulations to carry out this Act which are now in course of preparation will not be promulgated until the first part of August. It is the intention of the Commissioner to reeom- mend to the Secretary of the In- terior that Q period of sixty days must eIapse between the time when the regulations are issued and the date when mining will be permitted on the designated reservations. MT. Sells has ad- vised Mir. Hayden that the su- perintendents of the various re- servations have been directed not to permit prospecting in the mean while, and that he intends to see that no one obtains any advantage by attempting to To- cate claims previous to the open ing date. The Commissioner has assured Mir. Hayden that full publicity will be given to the regulations and the date upon which prospecting or mining may commence.

AVOID OVERSTOCKING RANGES

Extension Livestock Specialist Chas. U. PicKrell of the Univer- sity who is we'll posted on Ari- zona ranges livestock conditions warns stockmen to not overstock their ranges in their enthusiasm over good grass caused by cop ious July rains. He states in a letter to stockmen as follows: "The ranges of the State have practically all had sufficient rain. during the past month, to start the grass growing well.
 "The indications are t h a t range livestock will go into the winter in good condition and on some ranges there will no doubt be heavier growth of grass than the stock now on the range will consume.
 ''The extreme drouth condi- tions Tn the Northwest have all ready put many range breeding COWS and heifers on the market. These animals can be- shipped into the State at half rate. and there is room for more cattle on some of our ranges already, how eyer, increasing the stock on a range should be done with eau tion to avoid avoid overstocking.
 Present conditions are very favorable for many of the range grasses to put out a heavy root growth aud heavy seed produc- ton if the range is not grazed too close during the next three months.
 This is an excellent opportun- ity to give the range a much needed rest and bring it back to what 1t was years ago.
 A Southern Arizona cattle man when asked recently if he was going to buy any more cattle now that it had rained so much on his range replied I. just got through nursing my bunch through one hard drouth and I don't care to do it again very soon so I am going to give the stock have a chane.
 Gentlemen should keep on a close look out for blackleg and screw worms.
 From all indications the next two months will be very favor able for the spread of blackleg and the appearance and spread of screw worms. To date no re- ports have been received of the appearant of blackleg in the State. Cattlemen should start Yaccinating as soon as bIackleg appears. !"

kind in the country. It's capacity is rated equal to the total output of the sawmilIs of Flagstaff and Williams combined, which means that almost ene-half the lumber produced in Arizona is cut and sawed by the Apache Lumber company from this one mill.
 The mill and the railway which connects it with the outer world, via HoIbrook. are owned by the same people. The line is 72 miles long, and was built ex- pressly for the use of the mill. It is estimated that 1000 em- ployees will be used by the Apache Lumber company, and its allied railway when the full cap- acity of both is reached. From these figures observers expect Cooley, which prior to the entry of the railway, was only way station for tourists. to spring to a population of at least 5000 peo- pie.
 The timber area in which the Apache Lumber company's mill is located is the greatest in the United States. according to gov ernment figures. One authority in speaking of the White noun tain timber resources before a Phoenix civic organization re- gently. said that the Apache Lumber company could cut 200 carloads of lumber a day for the next 400 years before exhaustinR
