The copper era and Morenci leader. [volume] (Clifton, Ariz.) 1911-1929, 1920-09-10

The biennial event of selection of
candidates by the democratic party in
this county was held on Tuesday.
AS usual the republicans had no
contest for county officers and A. "A.
Anderson was nominated unanimous
ly for sheriff, being the only repu-
blican candidate appearing on the re-
publican primary ballot. Only small
number of republicans voted the repu,
bican ticket in this county, large
number of them having registered
as democrats.
AS usual there were some sharp
surprises in the democratic primar-
les. In the supervisorial contest, the
defeat of Moon, Mcneil and Danen-
hauer for supervisor, was complete
surprise, as it was generally conceeded
that one of these three candidates
at least would be successful. 1t is
the general opinion that the determ-
ination of the voters that the two
sections of the county, not at pre-
sent represented on the Board, should
have representation, was responsible
to large extent for the nomination
of Floyd Hightower, of Duncan and
A. C. Stanton, of Morenci. The sup
| ervisorial race attracted the most at
| tention and the democrats of the
| valley put forth strenuous efforts in
| behalf of their candidate.
The sheriff's race finally resulted
| in a contest between A. H. Slaughter.

Mr. and Mrs. Norman Carmichael,
accompanied by their two children,
arrived in Clifton on Sunday after
noon. The wedding of Mr.. Carmichael
to Mrs Florence Beall Covode occur
ed at Detroit, Michigan, on August
second, and since that time they have
been touring by auto through eastern
states
Speaking of conditions in the east
Mr.. Carmichael stated to a represen-
tative of the Era that business con-
tions, generally, were stagnant and
that the European situation mad a
decided bearing upon the business
prosperity of this country, citing as
an example the Polish situation. The
ter. porary su. cess of the BOlshevik
fsrCes against tie Poles hr1 depres-
sing effect and when the Polish army
drove them off there was a more op-
timistic view of business in general
in this country.
Mr.. Carmichael said there were
signs visible that prices of commodi-
ties were coming down, especially on
wearing apparel and household utilit-
les, merchants marking down their
rigures IN order to dispose of their
stocks on hand to satisfy their cred
itors.
Somewhat to his surprise Mr.. Car
michael stated that there was little
talk of the approaching presidential
elections in sections where he had
visited.

What is the least amount Of
whole milk I can feed to my calves,
and still raise good animals? That
is a big question with farmers to-
day, especially, in those sections
say dairy specialists of the United
States department of Agriculture.
Milk worth 10 cents a quart dis
appearing down calf's throat has
caused many a dairyman to stop
and think very seriously: Does it
pay?
portant not only that a more eco
nomical system of feeding and rails
ing calves be followed but that an
imals of better breeding be raised.
How Much Whole Milk per Calf
In planning an economical ration
the amount of whole milk included
is of great Importance, and the
smaller the amount that can be
fed and still raise good animals
the cheaper & will be the ration.
Roughly speaking, an ordinary calf
can be raised successfully on about
270 to 800 pounds of whole milk,
fed along with other feeds. For
calf is left with the dam, but from
then on until the end of 10 days
it should receive about 1 pound of
milk for every 10 pounds of weight
at birth. After that time the milk
may be gradually reduced until at
WATCH THESE POINTS
Feed only small amounts Of
milk for the first few feeds.
DO not overfeed. Scours, stunt
ed calves, and deaths are caused
largely by overfeeding. a pint
of milk weighs a pound. Meas
ure or weigh the milk for each
calf. DO not guess at it.
Feed regularly twice a day.
Have the milk warm, sweet,
and fresh. IF the milk is poor
in quality, feed less of it, not
more.
Feed grain and milk from
clean boxes and buckets. Buckets
should be washed and sca1ded
every morning.
the end of so to 80 days approxi-
mately 900 pounds of milk has been
fed.
Suppose, for instance, that a calf
weighs SO pounds at birth. Accord
ing to the feeding schedule it would

milk daily for the first ten days.
During the next 20 days it would
receive, say, pounds daily; dur
and for the last 80 days, 2 pounds;
making a total of 27O pounds of
whole milk.
For a 1OO-pound calf the quantity
of whole milk might be cut down
more rapidly after the first 10
the first 10 days; 8 pounds for the
third Today period; pounds for the
fourth To-day period; and 2 pounds
for the 20 days following; making
a total of 800 pounds of milk fed
over a period of 60 days. j.
The milk from fresh cows, before
it has become fit for human use, can
be fed to the calves.
start Grain Feeding Early -,
Where such a relatively small
amount of whole milk is fed it is
necessary that the calf should be
taught to eat grain as early as pos.
sible. By the second week calf
will ordinarily start nibbling at the
grain, eating increasing amounts as
it develops a taste for it. During
the first 80 days a healthy calf will
ordinarily eat an average of O.3
pound of grain per day. During the
next 80 days this will be increased
to l pound, and after tnat 10 ABOUT
2.5 pounds daily during the next
month or so.
The following grain mixture has
given good results for calf feed,
ing: Linseed meal, 1 part; bran, |
part; corn meal, 8 parts; oats, 2
parts; blood meal, 1 part.
Some good legume roughage, such
as alfalfa, should be fed with the
grain, and also a small amount Of
silage; and as more roughage is TAX
en- by the calf, the grain ration may
be cut down. In feeding grain the
safest rule is to supply only what
the calf will clean up readily. Re
member there is more danger of los
ing a calf from feeding too much
than from not feeding quite enough.
The calf does not have to be fat
to be growing land healthy, and it
has been. found that some of the
larger breeders, who have been
most successful in saving their
calves, have been keeping them in
a medium to thin condition.

Savage disciples of Voodo worship
in the American tropics ascribe
supernatural powers to the jack
bean. These tribesmen plant a row
of seed around their rude gardens
in the belief that the plant will pun
ish trespassers. This custom was
doubtless brought by negro slaves
from Africa. where the very similar
sword or fetch bean is thus wor-
shipped But the Bureau of Plant
Industry, United States Department
of Agriculture, fails to support this
weird belief concerning the bean.
Nor do these scientists find much
else to recommend this plant stran-
ger from the West Indies.
The jack beans, it appears from
abundant experiments, is a Nprolific
plant. 1t is not unusual for the
seeds in their 14-inch pods of a
jack-bean plant to outweigh its own
heritage; and the heritage, if cut
green, frequently crops at the rate of
16 to 20 tons per acre. This Won
derful productiveness makes the
bean a favorite of the get-rich-
quick gentry who seek to introduce
a new and marvellous commercial
plant. This popularity among I'M
scrupulous promoters accounts in
part, at least, for the numerous

BEAM" "Wataka BEAM" "Gotani

etc, are only a few of the names in
which the jack bean has been re-
christened.
1t has some value in the south as
a green-manure crop, and there is
evidence to show that it may be a
good silage crop when cut green.
Cattle do not relish the jack-bean
hay, nor do they make gains upon
the ground seed. which product they
must be taught to eat.
The bean is eaten by the natives
of Mexico, but most experimenters
describe it as fat and coarse in
! flavor.
The seed contains a large proper
! ton of a material known as urease,
and used in medicines, but the de-
mand for this product is extremely
| limited.
After all, the scientists warn the
prospective buyer of wonder beans"

else confine the first paintings to
small areas until the doubtful values

! and a better market provided than
seems to exist at present.

there is anything which will produce
so large a yield or make a more de-
sirable type of silage for our condi-
lions than a variety of saccharine
sorghum like Red Head and a variety
Of non-saccharine sorghum like KAT
fir corn grown in alternate rows. ST.
lage made from corn is, of course,
Of very excellent quality, but we do
not obtain so great yield as from
the combination crop suggested above
from which, by letting the sorghum
mature sufficiently, we are able to
make a very satisfactory type OF
silage.
We have found it possible to main
tain cattle through the winter on a
silage ration alone, but we do not
consider it an especially good or de-
sirable practice. Our experience
leads us to believe that two pounds
of cotton seed meal per head day
is both a wise and profitable plan
to follow with stocker cattle.

Clean u the Stable Fly for He Spreads
Disease Among the Animals

Have you ever tried to sleep on a
hot summer night when just one
mosquito had crept through the
window screen? Imagine your state
of mind if that single mosquito
were multiplied by 100 and you had
your hands tied!
That sensation. according to the
Bureau of Entomology, United
States department of agriculture, is
something comparable with what a
horse, mule, or COW endures when
numbers.
The stable fly greatly resembles
the ordinary house fly but for the
lance with which he is armed. 1t is
known that he carries disease from
infected animals to healthy ones,
that the insect aids the spread of
spinal meningitis among human be-
ings.

\ The eggs of the fly are laid in

Growing Cotton Under weevil Con-
difions

w. H. Y, Washington, Ga,
writes: 1 would like informa-
ton on growing cotton under
boil weevil conditions. We want
to apply about rs pounds of sui
phate of ammonia per acre. At
what time should it be put on?
In growing cotton under boil
weevil conditions we consider it
desirable practice to use liberal APP
plications of nitrogen. 1t is our be-
lief. however, that the nitrogen
should be put under the drill row
at the time the cotton is planted.
growth of the plant be stimulated
and advanced as much as possible
during the early part of the grow
ing season. On this account, the lib
eral use of nitrogen under the drill
row must be regarded as good prac-
tice. If this same nitrogen be APP
piled later in the season, the canoes
and the development of the plant
until relatively late in the season.
This will not advantage you mate
rally if at all because the weevils
will effectively destroy practically
all Of the bolls set on relatively
late in the season. The. chance of
producing a profitable crop of cot
ton lies primarily in inducing the
plants to set on a considerable num-
season.. These are the reasons why
we consider it important to use
rather heavy applications of nitro
gen under cotton and make the ap-
plications of material early in the
season.

Use Pure Salt on Hides

Hides should be sailed only with
clean, pure salt free from alum, ac-
cording to a recent statement of the
bureau of chemistry, United States
department Of agriculture. This bu-
reau is making a study of the best
methods for skinning farm animals
and curing hides in order to produce
high-grade leather. Salt contain
ing alum partly tans the hide and
sets the hair so that 1t cannot be
removed. Hides which cannot be
unhaired properly bring loss to the
tanner and prejudice him in future
purchases against hides from the
same source.
Tanners recently submitted to the
bureau of chemistry green sailed
hides which could not be unhalred
after lining in the usual way, in or
der to find out the cause. An ex-
animation showed that on the basis
of the dry hide unhaired spots con-
tanned 0.8 per cent of alumina and
the portions where the hair was not
loosened contained 1.25 per cent of
alumina. The portions of the hide
which contained 0.8 per cent alumina
unhaired with difficulty, while the
portions contaiing 1.25 per cent
could not be unhaired even on the
beam. An inferior salt containing
alum had been used in sailing the
hides and had set the hair.
This incident illustrates the impor-
lance of attention to details in the
handling and curing of hides and
skins. Farmers, country butchers
and dealers are advised by the de-
partment to use only clean, pure
salt in sailing hides. The presence
of alum in salt is especially objec-
tionable and as little as 5 per cent
in the salt can be detected usually
by its astringent, bitter taste.

detailed direction for skinning, cur
ing and marketing country hides and
skins, may be obtained upon applica-
ton to the United States department

The Composition of Commercial Fer.
tiliZerS

tiizers
J. l.. j., Nicholson, Ga, writes
few days ago 1 bought some fertilizer
and it was sold to me as 9-3-3, but on
the bag it read 90 47OO0-3, and bought
some 1922 and it read on the sack
10-1.65000-2. I would be glad if you
can explain this to me. Will a 9-2-3
and a 10--2 analyze the same. Dealers
say they charge so much per unit.
What is unit Of fertilizer? What has
been proved to be the net gain where
1000 pounds of fertilizer are used
under cotton?
With regard to the fertilizer
formulas, permit me to say that the
9-33 means that the fertilizer in
question contains 8 per cent of avail
able phosphoric acid, 3 per cent of
available potash. The per cent of
ammonia is equivalent to 2.47 per
cent of nitrogen. You only secure
the amount of nitrogen indicated
above instead of per cent. We do
not think that you have probably
been misled about this matter, how
ever, because as I understand it the
tag attached to the fertilizer shows
that it contains only 2.47 per cent
of nitrogen. 1922 and 1923 coald
not analyze the same, as one con
acid than the other. If you consider
it the other way round, one contains
l per cent more potash than the 9th
er. The correct chemical analysis
would show, therefore, the compost
ton of the one to be 923 and of
the other to be 1922. A unit of a
fertilizer is 1 per cent of one ton
which is twenty pounds. A ton OF
fertilizer of course may contain, as
