value the properties which came to
him through inheritance> from his
brother Lawrence and by his mar
riage with Mrs. Gusts.
Much of this was accomplished by
wise management. His papers give
repeated evidence of the thought he
devoted to details. To begin with he
was devotee of the budget system
and kept strict and careful accounts
not only of his business expenditures,
but to the personal spending of him
self and his family. He was among
the first to realize the effect on the
soil Of continued planting of tobacco
and turned early from that staple
weed to wheat and corn. He was a
keen student of crop rotation and
soil enrichment and he made a con-
tinual study of scientific farming in
the books of the period, DuhamePs
Practical Treatise of Husbandry,
Homes the Gentleman Farmer and
Young Annals of Agriculture.
In the last days of the eighteenth
century there were few securities into
which money could be safely invested.
Nor were there government securities.
such as War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates into

yield fair profit. But the best Of
the securities of his time, Washing
ton selected for investment. The larg.-
err part of his surplus, however, was
placed in land, the most secure in
vestment of his day.
Had he lived in this day he would
have held his Liberty Bonds and in

eminent savings securities.

Conditions are no better than peo-
pie, and for that reason we must
view them not with the tye of a pes
simist, but with hope. We must make
people better by education, by every
means in which wings can be placed
on the words of truth. Love for
country is good thing; love for
women and children is a great thing;
but love for all mankind is monu-
mental in meeting ills which face US
today.

IT'S "MILK cow"
 NOT "MILCH cow

Hereafter it will be milk COW" and not "milch cow"-at, least so far as the United States department of az riculture is concerned.
 This decision marks the termina- ton of controversy in which ety- mologists in the department have had not little interest. Those defending "milch" have pointed to scriptural use and certain of the classics as estab- fishing precedents, while the opposi- ton has contended that dairymen, ranchmen, and farmers in general use "milk" instead of "milch" almost universally. The advocates of milk also favored that word because, they contended, it was more strictly an English word, while "milch" was akin to German. Since Americanization of language as well as ideals is an arti- cle in every patriots creed, it is thought that this last sally of the milk" defenders helped as much as any to decide the question in their fa- vor.

ARIZONA CROP REPORT

That the Arizona wheat crop is in good condition, is shown by the fed eral crop report just issued by l.. M. Harrison, field agent for the U. c. bureau of crop estimates. The av- craze condition on April 1, 1920, was 95 per cent of normal, which com pares with 97 on April 1, 1919, and 94, the average for the past ten years. Maricopa county reports a condition of 93 per cent; Graham, 94; Pinal, 95; Yavapai, 95; Pima, 96, and Yuma, 100.
 For the United States, the average condition on April 1, was 75.6 per cent of normal, against 99.S on April 1, 1919, 7S.6 on April 1, 1918, and S4.1, the average condition for the past ten years on April 1. There was decline in condition from December 1, 1919, to April 1, 1920, of 9.6 points, as compared with an average decline in the past ten years of 5.4 points be- tween these dates. Upon the assump- tion of average abandonment of acre. age and average influences on the crop to harvest, condition of April 1 forecasts production of about 4S3,- 617,000 bushels, which compares with 731 ,636, 900 bushels, the estimated pro duction in 1919, and 565,099,000 in 1918.
 The number of breeding sows on Arizona farms April 1, 1920, shows a decline of p per cent since April 1, 1919. While many counties show an increase over one year ago, heavy decline is noted in the cotton produc ing counties. There is general tendency to reduce the herds, due to the high price of feed, the report for the entire United States showing decline of 10 per cent between April 1, 1919, and April 1, 1920.
 The farm labor supply is estimated by Arizona farmers at 100 per cent, the same as last year on April 1, and the demand at l40 per cent of normal. For the United States, the prospective supply is estimated at about three fourths that of one year ago, while the demand is placed at 153 per cent of normal. Except in favored locali- ties producing special crops that pay an exceptional profit, farmers are re- ducing their acreage to the point where it will involve minimum of labor.
 The acreage of American-Egyptian cotton will be about double that of last season. Owing to cool, wet weather, the crop is much later than usual Much of the early planted cot ton has been replanted.
 Fruit prospects are not promising at this time, the late frosts having damaged the crop in the higher alti- tudes.
 Range pastures and live stock are in excellent condition. Stock winter ed we'll and the losses will be the smallest for several years. A detailed report of livestock losses and the con dition of livestock on May 1 will be is- sued next month.

WOULD CATCH WILD HORSES
 NORTH OF GRAND CANYON

The problem of Utah sheep men of how to meet the 25 per cent per head tax imposed for grazing sheep in Ari- zona has been solved by V. Millett, of Rockville, Utah, or it will be, possi- bly, if he carries out his present inten- tions.
 Millett wrote a letter to the gover- nor asking for license to catch wild horses in Mohave county. If allowed this privilege, he says, he will be in a position to pay the sheep tax.
 In reply letter was sent out of the governors office to the effect that no license is required and that he is free to pursue this avocation without any tax being imposed upon him, provid- ed he is careful not to kill any anil mals which are held in private owner ship.
 In catching wild horses, Millett doubtless has in mind a campaign which was carried into effect some months ago by the state veterinarian to eradicate dourine, a contagious stock disease, which had made it's ap- pearance on the northern ranges.

HOW MACHINERY
 SAVES FARM LABOR

With a 2S-inch horse-drawn blow, one man accomplishes from 70 to so per cent more than with single-bot- tom blow. One man with 2S-inch blow drawn by tractor covers from 30 to 35 per cent more ground in a day than does man using six horses on a horse-drawn blow of the same size. A three-bottom blow drawn by accomplish from 60 to 70 per cent more than does the two-bottom blow drawn by six horses.
 These facts were brought out by about 600 replies to an inquiry ad- dressed to farmers in central Illinois by the office of farm management, United States department of agricul- ture. Under conditions where the use of a two-row corn cultivator is prac- ticable, this machine enables one man to cover nearly twice as much ground per day as with a one-row cultivator. In the section represented by replies received by the department, three horses are most commonly used on the two-row cultivator and the addition of fourth horse apparently increases but little the amount of ground cov- cred per day.
 Such of these farmers as use corn binders have found the use of this machine increases the efficiency of man labor 50 per cent, on the average over that achieved when cutting and shocking by hand. Eighty bushels, the reports show, is an average days work for one man when husking corn from the standing stalk by hand.
 With respect to the value of hay loader, they learned that the use of this implement reduces by about 25 per cent the time required to put on a load of hay. while the amount of la bor required for unloading into the mow is only a little more than half as great when a hay fork is used as when the work is done by hand.

O'Brien, Mir. and Mrs. Neitzling, Mike O'Brien, sec retary.
 The location and erection of a school building was taken up for township 23 N. R. F.. after lengthy discussion it was decided to erect the school house approximately three quarters of mile north of the Walk ing ranch east gate, which will put the school house on the proposed Maine to Grand Canyon highway. MT. c. D. Saunderson, Mrs. Jack O'Brien and Malcolm Boyett were appointed school trustees. Mrs. Acker urged the necessity of the trustees to hast en the building of the school house so that they would have the school ses- sion to commence June 1st.

 Chairman c. D. Saunderson stated he was sure there would have been a much larger attendance but for poor road conditions, he was sure every farmer in the community expressed their desire to be at this meeting to organize the branch, but he was con- fident those absent would be present at the next meeting and affiliate.
 MT. Chisholm made some brief re- marks on better farming, urging the farmers to start course of crop TO- tation. Also advised the farmers to treat their seed potatoes and grain this coming year. He expressed him self very pleased with his first trip to the first community branch in the county of the Farm Bureau, promis- ing the farmers he was ready at any time to lend them helping hand in any difficulties that they would en- counter upon notification.
 Mir. Y. A. Ray circulated a petition for signatures for R. F. D. which met with hearty favor.
 Votes of thanks were passed to Mir. and Mrs. Saunderson for the arrange ments they had made to make the meeting a success. Also to Mrs. Ack- CT, Mir. Caring and MT. F. A. Chis- holm.
 It was decided the secretary call next meeting after hearing from the farm agent, regarding bylaws.
 The meeting adjourned.

Cattle Worth s100,OOO Die of Dipping Poison.

Cattle valued at $1OO,OOO, lie dead in corrals two miles south of Nogales, Sonora. The animals, which were shipped from the tick belt, were im- properly dipped before loading, the dip running off the bodies to the ground, where it was licked up in quantities sufficient for the poison in it to cause death when the animals reached the Nogales corrals where they were supplied with water in abundance. The cattle are the prop erty of the Fowler Cattle company.
