from grasshoppers. No relief from
this pest can be expected for this
year. There is but one solution for
the problem and that is they must
be fought 1t is true that time and
money are necessary to fight grass
hoppers, but on the other hand it costs
the farmer vast sums to feed this pest
Entomologists agree that the poison
bran mash method is the best means
of controlling grasshoppers. The form
ula for this poison bait as recommend.
ed by state entomologist, H. c. Sever
in, is as follows:
Wheat bran ................2 25 lbs.
White arsenic or Paris green. lb.
Black-strap feeding molasses.. 2 2qts.
Lemons or oranges .......... 6
Water ................... about gal.
Thoroughly mix the bran and poison
dry, care being taken to distribute the
poison as uniformly through the bran
as possi Bile. Pour molasses and grind
the fruit into about three gallons OF
water After stirring WELL sprinkle
this liquid over the dry bran and poi
son which should be mixed vigorously
during the process. If too dry after
all of this solution is used add water
slowly but not enough to prevent the
mash from breaking into fakes when
thrown from the hand
The bait should be broadcasted in
the late afternoon or early morning
very thinly over the infested fields.
Never put it out on a dark cool day.
The formula even above should make
enough mash to cover six or seven
acres Of land. The best results can
be obtained only when the community
is on the lookout for the pest. 1t
takes considerable time to obtain mo-
lasses and poison in large quantities.
Because Of this it is hoped that every
farmer in every community in the
state will keep close watch for young
hoppers and report their finding i'm
mediately to the county agent. By
so doing, it will be possible to have
poison and molasses available for use
in the infested districts before the
crops are badly damaged.

pneumonia in that country, according
to statement made by Edwin T. Mer-
edith, Secretary of the Department Of
Agriculture, in a recent letter to an
inquirer upon this subject.
The inquirer called attention to an
article published in an Australian
trade paper purporting to contain a
statement by the chief inspector of
stock Of New South Wales to the effect
that there is no foot-and-mouth disease
in Australia, and that as contagious
pleuro- pneumonia is purely a disease
of cattle, and can be carried only by
them, its existence in Australia is not
a good reason for the embargo against
sheep.
While agreeing that sheep are not
subject to pleuro-pneumonia of cattle,
the Secretary pointed out that there
is no positive evidence that they may
not serve as carriers" The disease,
he said, was only finally eradicated
from this country in the early nineties
after the Inauguration of methods Of

LIVE STOCK DECREASING

A falling off in the numbers Of cattle
and hogs in the United States occurred
during the first four months of this
year as compared with the like period
last year, according to reports of
special livestock reporters of the Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates, United States
Department of Agriculture.
In the case of hogs, the births during
January, February, March and April
were about 10 per cent fewer than IN
the same months last year. The mar
ketingS have fallen off about Is per
cent; the farm slaughter was about
the same in both seasons; the deaths
on farms this year are over 40 per
cent heavier than last year to May /.
Taking into consideration both the
births and the deaths (from all causes)
it appears that there has been a rela-
tive reduction Of about per cent dur
ing the first four months of this year
as compared with the trend during the
first four months Of last year.
The births Of calves from January
TO May l were about % per cent fewer
this year than last year. The net dis
position of cattle by marketings, farm
slaughter and deaths was about per
cent greater than last year; it appears
that there has been a relative reduc-
tion Of about per cent in total num-
Der Of cattle as compared with last
year during the four months January
l to May l.

UTILIZE PASTURES

as the price of beef high" This
question is heard or all sides today.
The producer says, mo, considering
the price get for my cattle" The
consumer says, yes" So there you
have it. But whatever the right an
swer, the fact remains that prices
may go higher if there is not enough
beef to supply the demand for juicy
steaks and rib roasts with brown
gravy.
On the other hand, prices may de,
cline if an over-supply is produced.
What is the present situation? We
have today less beef in sight than for
several years, according to reports to
the United States department of ag-
riculture, which is kept closely ad-
vised as to conditions on the ranges
and in the markets. The present price
Of feed stuffs, scarcity of farm labor
reduced numbers of breeding animals
and a small margin Of profits to the
producer the past year are all fac,
tors which tend to limit production
and impress the Importance of main
tanning production and producing beef
as cheaply as possible.
For an answer to this question, we
must look to Mother Earth. This is
springtime, the crops are planted, the
grass is growing and the cattle are on
the green. This means. in its last
analysis, utilize pasture to the limit
conserve roughages to the utmost, and
produce forages and feeding stuffs

FavorS Sunday Fishing

Salina, Kan. This city posses
ses a preacher whom every an
glerin Kansas can praise.
He is the Rev. Arthur Dillin-
ger, pastor of the First Christian
church, and he believes it is all
right for man to go fishing on
Sunday, provided he first goes
to church.
Il fail to see where we get
the idea that the man or boy
who goes fishing on Sunday is
bound straight for the warm
place." DilIinger says.
It doesn't say so in the Good
Book and for my part | think
there is not as much harm sit
ting on the bank of some quiet
stream fishing as there is in
rushing over the road at high
rate of speed in an automobile
and burning up good money for
gasoline.
eve have worked up a lot of
useless theories about the OBJ
servances of the Sabbath and
this idea about never going fish
ing or indulging in any other le-
gitimate enjoyment on Sunday
afternoons after church worship
is one of them.

Anthem Arizona" Will
Be Sent to States Schools

Phoenix, April 5. School chill
dren of Arizona will now have
an opportunity to sing the state
anthem, Arizona" adopted by
the legislature.
AS one Of his last official acts,
Andrew Baumert, Jr., secretary
of the board of directors of state
institutions, has ordered that
the entire edition be distributed
to the several schools of the
state. In addition each county
school superintendent has been
supplied with 100 extra copies
to meet any extra demand which
may arise.
The words of the song were
written by Margaret Rowe Cliff
ford and the music by Maurice
Blumenthal. Some idea of the
spirit of the composition can be
CLEANED from a reading of the
first verse and the final chorus,
which are as follows:
Come to this land of sunshine,
To this land where life is young
Where the wide, wide world it
waits,
The songs which will now be
sung.
Where the golden sun is flaming,
Into warm and white shining
day
And the sons of men are blazing
Their priceless right of way.
CHORUS:
Not alone for gold and silver
Is Arizona great: ing
But with graves of heroes Sleep
: All the land is consecrate!
o. come and live beside us
However far We roam
Come, help US build up temples
And name t Ii os e temples

Death of COChiSe

Cochise, the noted Apache In
dian chief, according to Histo-
rian Parish, was a man who
hated liar, who did not lie,
and ever lived up to his given
word, He was a great FRIEND OF
Captain Jeffords, who was In
dian agent in the early days in
charge of Cochise's band of
Apaches. This white man and
this red man were strong per-
sonal friends. When Cochise
was sick, just before his death,
Jeffords waited on him and did
all possible to save his life. Co.
chise called Jeffords "Chicka-
saw One evening Jeffords'
official duties called him from
the bedside of his sick Indian
friend. AS Cochise said good
bye, he added: DO you think
you will ever see me alive again?"
Jeffords replied: Il do not
know; l don't think. l will; for
you have been failing very rap
idly in the last three days, and
| think by tomorrow you will be
dead" Cochise said: Il think
so too; about tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock | will pass out, but
do you think we will ever meet
again?" Jeffords replied: Il
don't know. What do you think
about it?' well" said Co
chise. Il have been giving it
a good deal of thought since l
have been sick here, and | think
we will" "Where?" asked
Jeffords. Il don't know; some

the skies. He died next morn

never feared death, but rather
courted it. Prescott Courier.

U. S. Introduces
New Coyote Poison

Since coyote pelts areabringing
record prices in the domestic fur
market and the determination
of this beast of prey is being
sought by practically all the cat
tIemen in Arizona, especial in
terest is being attached to the
governments introduction of a
new poison tablet which has
almost exterminated this animal
in some sections of the state.
Possessed of an uncanny sense
of taste and smell, the coyote
can always detect any ordinary
poisonous preparation before it
will affect him. According to
M, E. Musgrave, United States
predatory animal Inspector, a
coyote can detect and emit poison
from his stomach after he has
swallowed it. Traps are seldom
effective, as the coyote seems to
sense their presence and avoids
them. For this reason ranch
ers have been almost powerless
to resist the costly invasions of
coyotes into focks Of sheep.
According to Inspector Mus
grave. there have been several
thousand coyotes killed with this
poison in the Salt River and
immediate vicinity since it's in
PRODUCTION there two months ago.
