COMMUNITY TREE PLANT
 ING SUCCESSFUL

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.-That city tree planting can be successfully un- derstaken as community enterprise has been demonstrated by the work accomplished by the Albuquerque chamber of commerce and the United States forest service in this city. About eight hundred trees, chiefly black locust and American elm, have been planted under this plan. A com mission was formed consisting of q forester of the United States forest service, an officer of the chamber of commerce, a municipal official, and four citizens. The commission con ducted campaign in favor of tree planting and gave technical advice on what species to plant, and how, when and where to plant them. The com mission then drew up specifications for planting and advertised for bid from private contractors. On receipt of the bids, the commission issued cer- tificates to those qualified as to reli- ability, experience and equipment, these certificates being used by the contractors in soliciting business. This business was conducted in accordance with the price, specifications and con- ditions of payment as approved by the commission.
 The forest service furnished quali- fled forester as inspector, who, under instructions from the commission, ir- spected all planting work to, see thar it was properly done, and gave ad- vice to the planters on how to take care of the trees after they were planted.

FARMERS DENY THE
 RIGHT TO STRIKE F.

Denial that any group of organized labor possesses an inherent right to strike is contained in a memorial to congress, formulated at the confer ence in Washington, D. C., of repre- sentatives of four large farmers or ganizations, the National Grange, the American Farm Bureau. Federation, the Cotton. States board and the As sociation of State Farmers Union Presidents.
 In view of recent events and hap. penings," representatives of the four organizations said, it was agreed that the attitude should be made plain to congress and to the country.
 Pointing out that the city popula. ton of the country is dependent on the farmer for food and that interrup- tion of this supply can be brought about through strikes of railroad or other transportation unions, the me morial asserts:
 "Those who believe that labor has an inherent right to call strike, be- lieve that such organizations have a right to starve the people of the cities to death, on the one hand, and to de- stroy the property of the farmers on the other. No such right has ever ex- isted and no such right exists now. It is economically unsound and will work out some otber method for the settle ment of such controversies. No set of men has ever had the moral or le- gal right to destroy property or cause suffering by conspiring together and the welfare of the people must ever remain superior to that of any class or group of people,"

Sheep Men Losing Herds Through Uniust Policies is Claim.

Sheep Men Losing Herds Through Unjust Policies is Claim.
 That the present policy of forest re- serve officials is fast driving the sheep in Arizona from 12,275,860 acres out of 72,931 $40 acres, the total area of Arizona, and that they have already been completely excluded from the Crook and Tonto national forests, two of the largest in the state, is the posi- tive declaration made by sheep men.
 That this policy if not checked will be disastrous to the sheep industry, and that if reforms are not immedi- ately made the number of sheep grazed in Arizona must be greatly re- duced, resulting in higher prices to the consumer of mutton and wool.
 Across the Tonto reserve a drive way has been provided along which sheep may be moved certain distance each day. This driveway ranges in width from 200 yards to four miles. In the dry seasons feed on this route is scarce, and unless forage is provided at great expense, the herds suffer heavy loss.
 Sheep men state that for years the public has been under the impression that sheep were moved from the north to the south part of the state in count less numbers and along the most fa- vorable route they desired to select. They state that instead the sheep must move along prescribed routes, and that these in many instances are entirely inadequate to feed the sheep while in transit.
 Unless they are provided with drive ways wide enough to furnish grazing while the sheep are in movement, say the sheep owners. they cannot take ad- vantage of the large desert areas, where there is feed in the winter sea- sons, and which will be entirely lost as grazing districts.
 That many, if not all the driveways,

Judgment against Carl Washburn for damages suffered by trespassing on national forest lands was rendered in the United States court Wednesday morning at Tucson. The court rem dered a verdict of % cents per month for each head of cattle that grazed upon the forests without permit. The case was pressed by the forest ser vice and Charles Brothers, assistant to the solicitor of the U. s. depart ment of agriculture, assisted in the prosecution of the case.

LABOR TOSEEK CONTROL
 OF STATE DEMOCRATS

Organized labor will be big factor in politics in Arizona in this state ir 1920 if certain labor leaders have their way.
 sThese men have decided to attain their objects in the democratic pri- mary if possible and to that end will support certain candidates.
 Theii first drive will be to noinin. ate George w. P. Hunt for senator and put Mark Smith in the discard because, as they say, Smith has been reactionary, and supporting the inter- ests.
 For governor, they will undoubted- ly center their efforts on Mulfofd Winsor, conditioned on the assurances he is willing to give.
 Their candidate for secretary of state will be w. D. Claypool, friend of Hunt and Winsor, radical senator from Globe. Miss Nellie Hayward, of Douglas, will probably oppose Clay pool. She is conservative and spon- sored the suffrage resolution at the special session.
 Mitt Sims has abandoned his guber- material ambitions and will run again for secretary of state, but Claypool will be the choice of the labor men.
 E. A. Hughes, of Bisbee, will op- pose Jesse Boyce for auditor if the latter continues to run for his old job, abandoning his gubenatorial ambi- tions. Hughes has decided to make the race. Boyce would probably be the choice of the labor forces for audi tor.
 The decision to go into the demo- cratic primaries and nominate men for office satisfactory to labor was reach ed at a conference attended by Cover nor Hunt. Rosa MayKay and certain labor leaders from different parts of the state, gathered in Phoenix.
 When it became known that Hunt had consented to run for the senate, Will Webb, prohibition enforcement officer is said to have called a con- ference the object of which was to dissuade Hunt from getting into pol itics in the state this year. Hunt is said to have become very wrathy when he heard that Webb was trying to eliminate him, especially since he recommended Webb for the job he holds. The federal office holders are going to do everything in their power for Mark Smith, to whom most of them owe their places at the pie count

NEW CONCRETE PIPE

George Bonelli has been laying water pipe this week, that is a little different than any put in heretofore in this county. The process has been patented by MT. Bonelli and he ex- poets to make some money out of it.
 Cardboard pipes, one larger than the other, are put into the ground and a mixture of cement is poured in be- tween them. When this cement sets the result is concrete pipe, already in the ground and with no seams-one solid piece of pipe.-Kingman Miner.

Ton of Butter a Minute.

The butter industry of the United
States is so large that more than ton
of butter was made for every minute,
day and night, last year, according to
dairy specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Yet even this
enormous production scarcely meets do
mestic needs.
The output of factory butter has in
creased approximately 200, ,000, 900 pounds
each 10 years since 1880. Farm butter.

Production of renovated butter In the

evidently results from reduced supplies
of low quality farm butter, the chief
product from which renovated butter Ia
made.

United States Butter Used at Home

Butter made In the United States is a
very small factor in the international
butter trade, according to compilations
made by dairy experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture. More
than 90 per cent of our butter business
has been entirely domestic, except in the
last three years. Even small exports
and imports, however, have much
effect on prices. That condition Is espe-
cially true in countries where butter pro-
duction and consumption are nearly
equal. The United Kingdom and Ger
many were the principal butter.i import
ing nations, and Europe In the last
decade has been unable to supply its own
butter needs. Shortly before the war,
Siberia, Australia, and New Zealand
supplied most Of the butter which
Europe imported.
