COYOTES MAKE LAST
STAND IN VALLEY
Especial Correspondence,

PARADISE VALLEY, August 3d.
The coyotes seem to be making a sort
of last stand" here in the valley. as
elsewhere. G. Peraldo had lamb
killed one evening lately in plain
view of the house. and Mr.. Coyote
was back again next morning for his
breakfast. but was disposed of before
he did more damage. Wednesday af-
ternoon, as Steve Boggio. Jack Forg-
none and Gus Malas-Echeverria were
working on a well in the field op-
posite the old Giacometto house, now
occupied by J. Roy Bradshaw. a
coyote appeared on the scene and be-
gan making himself very familiar,
even shifting at Gus heels! OF
course, this was too much to stand
from any coyote, so the men began
using their spades. pick-axes, etc,
on the animal Excitement must have
affected their aim, an no one scored
hit. The noise and commotior
brought j. Roy Bradshaw from across
the road, armed with double-bar
relied shot gun, but the coyote had
disappeared in some willows along
the creek. Just then John S. Case ap-
peared upon the scene. jitneying to
town and the coyote reappeared. j
Roy gave John S. the double barrel
and went for rife and the other
three men, armed with their imple-
ments, all gave chase. while Mrs. ]
hoy and children, also Master Joe
Baggio, cheered from the top of the
fence.
What could one lone coyote dc
against such an army? He saw his
finish right there and ran straigh'
towards. Roy and his 32-40 and al
the second report dropped dead.
A coyote was killed at the Doole,
ranch also. which had been seen
hanging around the springs above thf
house for some time.

grain crop-should produce its maxi
mum, says Prof. W. E. Hanger, crops
specialist at the Ohio State Univers-
ity. One of the most important fac
tors is a good stand.
The, termination test has been en-
phasized for a long time and many
farmers conduct an ear test of their
seed corn each year. After knowing
that seed corn will germinate per-
fectly it is highly important that the
seed be evenly distributed by the
planter and be dropped at the rate
that will insure maximum production.
1t is almost impossible to secure a
uniform drop with the planter unless
the seed is graded and unless the
planter is equipped with plates that
fit the Size of the kernels to be used.
A small hand grader may be used and
does the grading very satisfactorily:
To secure maximum yields on land
in a good state of fertility no less
than three stalks should be planted
per hill. Every missing hill seriously
cuts down the yield of corn.

FIGURE 1T OUT

Put 100 men on an island where
fish is a staple article of substance.
Twenty-Five of the men catch fish.
Twenty-Five others clean the fish.
Twenty-Five hunt fruit and vegetables.
The entire company eats what thus is
gathered and prepared.
So long as everybody works there
is plenty. All hands are happy.
But ten of the allotted fish catchers
stop catching fish.
Ten more dry and hide part of the
fish they catch.
Five continue to catch fish, but
work only part of the day at it.
Fewer fish go into the community
kitchen.
But the same number of men in
sist upon having the same amount CT
fish to eat as they had before.
The fifty men who formerly cleaned
and cooked the fish have less to do,
owing to the undersupply of fish. But
they continue to demand food.
Gradually greater burdens are laid
upon the fruit and vegetables hunters.
These insist upon larger share of
fish in return for their larger efforts
in gathering fruit and vegetables.
1t is denied them and soon twenty
of the twenty-five quit gathering fruit
and vegetables.
But the entire 100 men continue TO
insist upon their right to eat.
The daily food supply gradually
shrinks. The man with two fish de-
mands three bananas in exchange for
one of them. The man with two ba-
nanas refuses to part with one of
them for fewer than three fish.
Finally the ten men remaining at
work quit in disgust. Everybody con
tinues to eat. The hidden fish are
brought to light and consumed. Comes
day when there is no food of any
kind. Everybody on the island blames
everybody else.
What would seem to be the solu-
ton? Exactly! We thought you
would guess it.
For we repeat that you can't cat
buy, sell, steal, give away, hoard
wear, use, play with or gamble with
what isn't.
