PLANT A PECAN FOR THE
SOLDIER BOY.

That is an excellent idea that is
being carried out in some portions
of the North where a tree is PLAN
ted for every boy that has gone to
France to fight for freedom. We
believe this magnificent plan,
and pass this bit of information
along to others with the hope that
it will be adopted here in the
South. The tree planted may be-
either a fruit or a shade tree. but
the idea is to plant one that ID
rather long-ived. no that tho
deed of the boy will be remem-
bered for long time to come. A
pecon tree is particularly approp-
rate for this purpose, because Of
it's long life and because it serves
well, both as shade tree and .
producer of nuts.-The Progress

Among the sales recorded last
week was that of the two-story
building adjoining the Peoples
National Bank owned by Mr..
Jeanmard Of Lafayette. The pur-
chaser was Mr.. Leon j. Minvielle
who from what we learn intends
to demolish it completely and at
some near future time to erect on
the ground a large two-story
building which he will use for his
furniture business. This bespeaks
well for our City when our citizens
will erect fine buildings at this
time when material is so high.
Mr.. Minvielle is one Of New lbe-
ria 8 most successful business men
and has great confidence in the
future Of our City. especially now
that we will soon have paved
streets and gravel roads through
almost every highway in the Par.
ish.

very inclement weather

The very inclement weather
of the past two months is working
a great injury to this section Of
the State in more ways than one.
In the first place there is yet stand
ing in the fields about ten per cent
Of the cane crop that could not
be harvested and hauled to the
sugar mills owing to the daily
rains and impossible roads.
Heretofore at this season of the
year our farmers would be finished
breaking their lands and many
would have finished planting
their seed cane, while up to the
present time nothing in the way
Of that kind of work has been
done. Many of the farmers are
much discouraged over the situa-
ton, fearing that with SO much
water on the ground the seed cane
will become unfit for use as has
even happened when there was not
near so much precipitation. All
Of the sugar mills in the Parish
are still grinding away despite
the disadvantages that they are
working under in such sloppy
weather. One more freeze and
then some warm weather will be
disastrous to the farmers who still
hayaaanauiuG fields.

The largest phase of the bu-

Red Cross organizations abroad
where scores Of American Rec

of soldiers and transmitting the
information through the bureau
here to the families. Severa
weeks may elapse before a report
comes back to the family, but the

RANGE CONDITIONS.

Nearly normal temperatures made the past week one of the most favor able for livestock since the advent of cold weather. New records for cold weather were established in Novem- Der, January, February and March fo, many places in the district and even under the most favorable conditions of feed and protection livestock suf- fered greatly from unusually low tenn perature. The return of warm wea- ther is naturally expected to result in improved conditions of range ant stock. Stockmen are encouraged by reports from as far north as central Mohave and Apache counties where the grass has started, also from the vicinity of Prescott and Williams where the range is improving. Pas. lures in the southern section, particu, Iarly in the vicinity of Globe: Tucson Douglas and Nogales, show consider. able improvement. The advent ot warm weather has been favorable tt both stock and ranges in western New Mexico.

HOW POTATOES SHOULD
 BE CORRECTLY RAISED

The Coconino county farm bureau has prepared a concise and comprehen- sic statement of how to dip potatoes. Many more farmers this year than ever before are planning to treat their tubers and the information will be welcome in many quarters. Corrosive sublimate is the material to use for the treatment of seed pota- toes at the rate of 6 ounces to 30 gal Ions of water. Dip for two hours, and if properly treated it will prevent such diseases as scab and Rhizoctonia.
 The dipping vat must be wood. It cannot be metal because metal takes all the corrosive sublimate out of the solution. It would then be no more effective than using just water. Bar rels can be used but a good wood vat is better. It should be large enough to hold six to twelve bushels at least, if the acreage is large. If the vat holds sixty gallons, twelve ounces of corrosive sublimate is need ed for the first solution; if ninety gal. Ions, eighteen ounces; 120 gallons will take 24 ounces, and so on. After each rosive to the solution. If only six bu- 12 bushels dipped add one ounce of cor shells are dipped at time it is good to add one-half ounce instead of dip ping twice before adding more mater ial.
 To get the corrosive sublimate into the solution put hot water into candy bucket and add one ounce to each quart. Stir well. Add solution tc vat by the use of glass quart bot. tie. Every quart will then contain one ounce of corrosive. Thus nc scales are needed. Always keep solu tion we'll stirred. that in vat before each dipping. Never add the undis solved corrosive direct to the vat. i Keep potatoes we'll covered for two hours. Remove and drain so that tho solution will run back into the vat If more solution is needed add at tht rate of one ounce to five gallons o water.
 ] The question is always asked. should the treatment be before or after thu cutting. Both have given good re suits. Some object to cutting afteI the treatment because the corrosive makes the hands sore if a lot of cut ting is done.
 If six bushels are dipped at tim, and a twelve hour day, 36 bushel' could be treated per day. Thus th' work can be done rapidly especially i a good sized vat is used. The onl! precautions are to follow the abov, essential points.
 Do not allow stock to drink the SO lution or eat the potatoes. Corrosive sublimate is poison. - ! DeLORE NICHOLS.

The 158th will be home the first part of next month and many of its graduated veterans will have returned by the time the 340th Field Artillery returns, which is scheduled for the month of June.
 The balance remaining in the Tue son Luncheon clubs wrist watch fund for soldiers has been donated to fund for the homecoming celebration. Ii amounts to $269.29.

|24O FIELD ARTILLERY IS REAL ARIZONA REGIMENT

The 340th Field Artillery is the lar gest body of Arizona troops that par ticipated intact, in the great war, ac- cording to Congressman Carl Hayden, whose advice was sought by the secre- tary of the Chamber of Commerce on the question of homecoming ccle- bration for Arizona troops.
 The First Arizona, which became the 15Sth Infantry, did not see active service as regiment, according to the congressman, but served as a training regiment for the replacement of other regiments on the firing line The cadre of the 15Sth was retained with practically the same official per- sonnel that the regiment had when it left the United States, and it gradual ly became two regiments in the firing line, but the regiment as unit, was never in active service.
 The old National Guard personnel of the regiment was sent into the line when there was pressing demand for seasoned troops, but they were as signed to various divisions along the fighting front. The regiment was then filled with drafted troops, who were trained and graduated into the fighting line.
 It will be something of a disappoint- ment to Arizona that the old First Arizona was not allowed to fight as a unit, but it may flatter the pride of Arizonans even more than to have had the regiment to battle intact, to know that the whole front line was strength ened with an alloy of Arizona blood and sinew, for that the use to which the old First Arizona was put.
 The 340th Field Artillery went through the war with 65 per cent Arizona personnel.
