Gasoline and Carbolic ,,.....
 Acid to Kill Bedbugs.

There are several standard prepa- rations to kill bedbugs. reaches and lice which can be bougth at a drug store. The Maine agricultural station recommends lice powder made as fol- lows: Take three parts of gasoline and one part of crude carbolic acid, 90-95 per cent, strength; or, if the acid cannot be obtained as directed, three parts gasoline and one part cresol. Mix these together and add gradually, with stirring, enough plaster of Paris to take up all moisture-about four quarts of plaster of Paris to one quart of the liquid. Thoroughly mix the liQ- uid and plaster in order to get uniform distribution and strength. The result ant powder is dusted on in the usual manner. Gasoline or benzine applied to the cracks of beds infested with bed bugs will extermtnate them and sul- phur candles have been used to drive them from rooms. Powdered borax is an effective agent for driving cockroaches out of house.

ARIZONA CROPS .
 INCOODCONDIn0N |

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. s, Bureau of Crop Estimates. The av- craze condition on April 1, 1920 was 95 per cent of normal, which compares with 97 on April 1, 1919, and 94, the average for the past ten years. Mari copa County reports condition of 93 per cent; Graham, 94; Pinal, 95; Yav- apai, 95; Pima, 96; and Yuma, 100.
 For the United States, the average condition on April 1 was 75.6 per cent of a normal, against 99.S cn 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 a 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 fore casts a prduction of about 483,617 ,000 bushels, which compares with 731 ,636, 900 bushels, the estimated production in 1919, and 565,O99,OOO in 1918.
 The number of breeding sows on Arizona farms April 1, 1920 shows a decline of 25 percent since April 1, 1919. While many counties show an increase over one year ago, a heavy decline is noted in the cotton produc- ing counties. There is a general ten dency to reduce the herds, due to the high price of feed, the report for the entire United States showing de- cline 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 40 per cent of normal. For theUnited States, the prospective supply is estimated at about three fourths that of one year ago, while the demand is placed at 1153 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-E 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 cotton has been replanted. .... t

TIRE SHORTAGE

For over year there have been re- peated predictions of shortage of automobile tires all over the United States, and now the retail dealers and the consumers are actually up against the real thing. It is not because there is not enough rubber; it is the fabric material that is lacking. Without sufficient fabric the entile tire indus try will be held up and the output of every factory curtailed, according to advices from the Lee Tire factory.
 Right now most dealers are well stocked with standard size fabric tires to meet the spring demand. However,

LOOKING FOR A ...
 25O FOUNDER

"A Tale, of Six Cities" or "Heavy, Heavy Hangs Over Thy Head," an Arbucklesque comedy in six reels, is today being written into the sedate files of the Knights of Columbus, and all as the result of simple request by Southern California taxi man for housekeeper.
 The opening reel pictures Hermosa Beach resident, widower, home-lover taking his pen in hand and producing the following appeal to Phillip O'Brien, employment manager for the Knights of Columbus bureau in Los Angeles:
 "Will you kindly find me house.
 keeper. l want good-natured
 big, fleshy, 250-pounded or more
 to come out here and take charge
 of my place."
 The second flicker shows an anxious K. c. Secretary renting scale and checking up on applicants. But all in vain. Despair is registered on his countenance. Then Inspiration! Eag- erly he types an offer of two "125 pounders. Quickly the return letter "25O or nothing"
 The next reel is laid in the San Francisco office, where Albert G. Bag ley, director of western department war activities, Knights of Columbus gets his subordinate's report on the thrilled application. Business of send ing out S. o. s. to Portland, Seattle and Chicago for the requisite tonnage; business of anxious search in each of these cities for the hefty abigail slow fadeaway as Secretary O'Brier replies to Hermosan:
