DOESNOT
 AFFECT HUMIDITY IN
 VALLEY, SAySEXPERT

Humidity in Phoenix is not appreci- ably affected by irrigation, said U. $. Weather Observer Gordon, speaking at the luncheon of the Kiwanis club yes sterday. Mir. Gordon brought with him zthe records of the government stations in various parts Of the state to sup port his statement.
 During the last nine years" he said, the humidity of Phoenix has increased IT per cent, and 1t is the increase in rainfall that has raised the humidity. Likewise. in other parts of Arizona, the rainfall has increased during the same period and so has humidity
 At Tucson the rainfall has increased III per cent during the years mentioned and at Natural Bridge. on the Verde river, % per cent. During the last year the driest station in Arizona was content of moisture by cubic measure was found in Tucson. Phoenix and Yuma occupy a position midway be- tween the two extremes.
 All scientific observers agree that humidity is not increased by the i'm mediate presence of a moderate sized body of water. In the Salt River val ley only about one-tenth of the irri- gated area is under water at one time. and the evaporation from such ground is only one-third what it would be from a body of water of equal size. The effect is insignificant. Whatever moisture we have comes from currents of air from the Gulf of California. which supplies the whole state with rainfall
 Upon the hiIlsides near Phoenix there is. however, to be found much drier. milder climate than in Phoenix. On Squaw Peak. for instance, the humidity is 22 per cent to 24 per cent less than in the valley. It is on these hillsides that the health-seekers must find their best climate Plans have recently been called to my attention for the erection of a sanitarium and other accommodations in several To- calities among the hills"
 Ben Stanton was chairman of the day at the Kiwanis luncheon. A variety of subjects and activities were considered. A resolution re- =questing Governor Campbell to in clude in his call for a special session the paving of the Bankhead highway; the report of the committees for the big annual field day of the club to he held next Saturday afternon at the '.Koko- Mac" Ranch: the report of the committee on a joint city hall and court house. announcing the excellent

 The three new members were $. w. Sadler, insurance; N. A. Lytle, presi- dent of the Commercial National bank, and Charles F.

Visit Lib ary For Books on How To Make Liquor

Men of all types have called at the Carnegie library requesting books containing the recipes for the manufacture of liquor, accord ing to Miss Maude Hiatt, librarian. The librarian declares that all class es of men have made the inquiry men of the man about town type and the unshaven and unshorn lab orer-aII looking for the book which tells how to make beer.
 In her experience here not one woman has made the request, says Miss Hiatt. There is always the same answer to all. The Phoenix library can not circulate liquor recipes as there is not book on it's shelves relative to the subject. Time was when the library held copies of Scientific American Book of Form uias, but no more. Demands came that the books be removed and the shelves were bared of the much wanted volumes.

Pick Good Potatoes.

If a good crop of potatoes is expect
ed next fail then the seed which is
used must be good. C. l.. Fitch, potato
expert with the extension department
of Iowa State college gives these rules
to help pick the good seed. Potatoes
that have vitality enough to produce a
good CROP" explained Mr.. Fitch, "are
always relatively short, wide and flat
for the variety"
Potatoes fit for seed arc always OF
a good shape and always come from
a good crop.
vigorous seed potatoes are not
scabby. Scabby seed potatoes never
are good seed. Good potatoes on good
ground will produce Il crop that is free
from scab." Iowa conditions are hard
Oh potatoes and only vigorous seed is
required from the start to withstand
the Iowa season."

Poor Stock. Less Farm Income.

1t doesn't pay to grow lOw-grade or
scrub stock of any kind. This state
ment is made by the United States De
partment of Agriculture in connection
with a series of tests on efficiency in
farm management in the south. On 2S9
dairy farms it was found that As
farms receiving $50 and less income
per cow had labor incomes 45 per cent
below the general average. On the
other hand, the 2S farms with receipts
per cow of more than $12O had labor in
comes % per cent above the average
and were the most profitable of the
group. The quality Of the live stock
kept is one of the 1G points outlined by
the department to be tested i'll deter
mining the efficiency of farm manage
ment. Full information concerning
the tests is embodied in a new circular
of the department.

pcncorn in Farm Garden.

Don't forget to include a plat of pop
corn in your garden. Besides its use
as q confectiOn, popcorn possesses
much food value.
On many farms where 1t is not de-
sired to grow popcorn as a market
crop, q few rows are planted IN the
garden for home use. This usually in
terests the children and 1t is well to let
them do the planting.
If it is desired to grow popcorn as a
field crop. the surplus stock that Is not
wanted for home use can usually DE
sold to local merchants at a fair price
or a profitable local trade may be b"iit
up by supplying it direct to consumers

Farm Cow a National Asset.

The farm COW that gives milk fol-
human food stands first, with Il total
value of 5000. 600, 1000, as compared
with other classes of farm animals for
January l, 1920, says the bureau of crop
estimates of the United States depart
mcnt of agriculture. Not even the
total value of all other cattle is equal
to the value Of the dairy cow.
The average price per head of milk
cows in this country has increased
from $5S.25, since January 1, 1915, to
sol. 10, the average for 1919, or Il gain
of IS per cent in five years, accord
ing to the bureau.

Should Plant More Clover.

Nearly every one knows that the
farmer who tries to farm without clo-
YER will pay heavily for his practice,
vet Iowa farmers have greatly de-
creased their clover acreage in the
last decade, according to the farm
crops department of the Iowa State
college. The high price of seed and
the poor stands secured are the chief
reasons for the decrease, but they are
not sufficient excuse for dropping clo-
yer from the rotation.
The chief reason for failures is lack
of plant food in the soil. 1t requires
plenty of available plant food to give
a good growth which will carry over
the plants during the summer drouths
which kill Sc many Iowa seedlings.
Organic matter, which increases wa
ter holding capacity, must be added
Ito many soils as well as limestone
which is necessary to correct the acid,
lily of nearly t~hree-fourtlls OF the. soils
in the state. The bacteria for the red
clover is quite generally distributed
and incubation is generally unneces-
sary. Alfalfa, sweet clover and soy
beans, however, are usually benefited
by incubation.
The nurse crop with clovcrs affects
the stand. The earlier varieties OF
oats have shown considerable advan-
tage over the later ones in expert
ments conducted at the Iowa Expert
ment Station. Oats is generally con-
sidered a more desirable nurse crop
than barley, winter wheat or rye.
Spring wheat has given the poorest re-
suits of any.
ITO help keep up fertility ana to
get the land in good condition for the
following crops Iowa farmers should
put in many acres of red, swee or
alsike clover this spring with an early
oats as Il nurse crop n on soil III
good condition for the growth OF
crops,' is the advice Of the farm crops
experts at Amcs.
