HORSE IMPROVEMENT

The horse breeder and farmer must
learn that the tractor and truck are
powerful influences in determining
the demand and price OF horses. Just
as the manufacturer of the self-rake
reaper was influenced by the self
binder, so must the breeder of horses
be influenced by the tractor and truck.
The market requirements in all cases
must be met, be it machine or horse.
Good, heavy, sound, pure-bred
draft stations are scarce and are sell
ling at a profitable price. The farm
er is coming to realize the situation
and is demanding a better grade of
stallion this year than heretofore. The
horse that is most in demand is the
one that can compete with the tractor.
That means he must have weight, not
less than 1900 pounds in ordinary
flesh, be sound and have lots of endur-
ance. To meet these requirements, he
must have the right kind OF confor-
nation. This is the kind of a public
service stallion the farmers should
patronize. Inferior stations will, in
the end, cause heavy losses. Their
offspring is not in demand and can
be sold only at prices below the cost
Of production. A farmer who will
now patronize an inferior stallion be-
cause Of the low service fee is stand
ing in his own light.
The recent Legislature amended the
state stallion registration law so that
now Colorado is again abreast of the
times. Stations that cannot enter or
stand for public service in other states
are barred from this state. There are
many other good additional features
in the law too numerous to be given
here. Owners of stations standing
for public service should make appli-
cation at once for licenses to the State
Board Of Stock Inspection Commits
Denver, Colorado.
A bulletin on horse management
has been issued by the Colorado Agri-
College. It tells how to se-
lect horses, how to feed them and care
for them, gives the cost OF produc-
ton and other such valuable informa-
ton.
A special poster, giving the essen
tials of successful horse breeding, has
JUST. been printed. This is to be post
ed with the licenses, and gives infor-
nation of value to stallion and mare
owners. The above bulletin and post
er can be had free upon application to

PARASITE Is IMPORTED TO
FIGHT ALFALFA WREVL

Another shipment OF alfalfa weevil
parasites has been received from
Utah by the State Department OF En-
tomology. These are in the pupai
stage. and adults. when they emerge.
will be liberated in the weeyil-infest-
ed fields In the vicinity OF Paonia.
Parasites brought from Utah In 1918
are known to have passed through
one complete life-cycle in this locality
and the chances are very favorable
that they have become established
here.
The adult parasite is a small, very
beautiful and extremely active ich-
neumon fly. IL is a native OF SOUTH

alfalfa weevil. which Is also native

there as to have become an important
factor in helping control the alfalfa

parasite has increased rapidly ana as
the weeyil spreads to new territory

enemy.
shortly after the adult parasites
emerge they search out alfalfa wee
vii larvae and lay eggs within the
bodies OF the larvae. The parasite
larvae Matching from these eggs feed
within the bodies of the weevil larvae
and kill them before the time they are
ready to transform into adult weeviis-

A DEVELOPING
AGRICULTURAL
REGION IN SON.

Yesterday Mr.. A. M. Conard, a
former resident of Nogales, who lives
now in Los Angeles, having heavy
landed and mining interests in Sono-
IA, who had arrived from the south
Friday evening, took the train to
Tucson, en- route home for a short
visit, but he expects to return to So
nora within week or so, his extern
sive interests requiring his attention.
In conversation with The Oasis re-
porter Mr.. Conard tsated that the
farmers he has been introducing upon
the large tract of land he purchased
several years ago, in the vicinity of
Noria station, on the line of the South
ern Pacific of Mexico, about seventy
five miles south from Nogales, are
pushing their work of cultivation with
all energy, and that there will be a
large acreage planted before the
summer rains come along. He has
located eight actual cultivators, and
expects to have twenty-five or thirty
before the season ends. There are
four tractors there in operation at
the present time, and Mr.. Conard
stated that the fifth is at Nogales
now. 1t will be sent across the line
Monday and will go to Noria by the
first train going in that direction
after that day.
Beans, the chief crop that is plant
ing-not only the ordinary pink bean
of Mexico but castor beans, which
will grow there in great profusion,
and are very profitable crop.
For raising beans the land is plow-
ed and narrowed thoroughly and the
seed planted, and the summer rains
bring on the young plants. In the
fall the beans are harvested, and the
same land seeded in wheat, as a win
ter crop.
The lands mentioned are upon the
great mesa extending south from LA
no to Pesquiera, distance of about
100 miles, which is skirted on either
side by mountain ranges. 1t is a fer
tile region, and work such as that
done by Mr.. Conard is bringing it out
as one of great natural adaptability.
Mr.. Conard stated that he finds
conditions in Sonora as very salts
factory. Every attention is given by
officials and those in business to the
needs and requirements of those in
vestlng and improving the resources
OF the State, and all are doing every
thing possible to preserve friendly re-
lations with foreigners coming into
the country for investment.
The gentleman assured The Oasi:
that in his opinion peace and quiet
have been restored in Mexico fol

RETIRED GENERAL
FAMOUS AS AN

Omitted Press Service)

CAMP DIX, April 26.-Major Gen
eral Hugh Scott, for years the most

General Scott has been in COM
mand at Dix since January 2, 1918.

mand at Camp Devins since his re-
turn to this country. He was to have
succeeded General Scott, April 10,
when the latter received orders for
his retirement from the War Depart
ment hut remained at the Massachu-
sets camp lin order to parade with
his divicion at Boston.
Although General Scott reached the
age limit and was officially retired

returned to duty at the request Of
President Wilson. Previous to this
he had been chief of the general staff
and vas instrumental in planning the
selective service and army training
systems.
General SCOTS career has been as
varied as any of the present or last
generation of the American army of
fcers. He was born in Danville, KY.
in 1853, and entered West Point in
1872, being commissioned as SECOND
lieutenant in the U. S. Cavalry ii

| SALINAS, Calf, April 26.-How
French aero officers intended COM
|pliment resulted in the temporary
discontinue of an American soldier
in France was related here today by
Corporal Andrew Nielsen, former
member of an American pursuit
squadon.
When the French officer, with a
disabled machine landed within the
American lines, Nielsen, who was off
duty, repaired the machine. Then be-
lieving the Frenchman was going up
again for test flight only, request
ed permission to accompany him. The
request was granted It happened,
however, that the Frenchman was on
a mission of observation. He took
Nielsen up over the German lines and
! far out into German territory. They
were fired at by Geman anti-aircraft
guns until compelled to ascend to a
height of $4,000 feet, well out of
range.
The result rof the Frenchman's
observation mission was successful.
He discovered not only German re-
endorsements headed for the front,
but also shelled the long ammunition
trains and sent the Germans scurry-
ing to cover.
This achievement was related with
pride by Nielsen, who also admitted
with some embarrassment that he
"ducked" when German anti-aircraft
shells were bursting about him in the
air. GAS if that would have done
any good" added Nielsen, as he re-
called that had one Of the German
shells found its mark all would nave
been "howers" with him and his COM
panion.
The machine returned safely and
Everything seemed all right until the
French officer sent a polite letter TO
Neilsen's commander compllmentlne
Nielsen on his ability as a mechanic
and his bravery under fire.
1t was then called to Neilsen's at
tention that he had violated regula
lions by his fight in that HI
; had come by information regarding
enemy movements itnended to b'
possessed only by his superiors
He was threatened with courtmartia
and disrating, but when all the cir
cumstances were taken into conside

trade in the Zulu archipelago.
AS a diplomatist in dealing with
Indians, Mexicans and Philippine
tribesmen, Gen. Scott was in a class
of his own. He settled peacefully the
impending conflict between United
States and Mexico at Nogales in 1915
and persuaded Villa to restore prop
erty confiscated from foreigners in
Mexico. He also, with the late Gen
eral Funston, participated in the El
