other countries, left the dye industry to Germany which excelled in the production of dyes.
 There had been only the beginning of dye mak- ing in this country and when the war cut off our supplies we swore that would never again be caught in such helpless shape We had though a fine opportunity to establish the industry. We were left absolutely without competition No tariff wall had been built so high and strong that with which the war threw about against competition.
 If there was time to make a start In the dye industry that was the time. And we made dyes. but such dyes as they Their most distinguish ing characteristic was their tendency to hasten the disntesration of the fabric which they were ap- piled. They lacked every quality which dyes should possess
 Now it is proposed in the tariff bill to prohibit bv legislation as effectively the prohibited it, the importation of dyes. put into the hands of single concern a monopoly which will impose tax upon every family in the country; and which will subject citizens deprivation with respect to dyes that the war imposed upon them.
 We would all prefer the establishment of the dye industry We would all rather buy American dyes. if of as good quality. than German any foreign dyes and we would to pay slightly higher price for them
 But an exclusive monopoly while threatening us with higher price gives no assurance of an im- proved quality On contrary it relieves the opoly of the necessity of turning out improved quality.

LARGEST cow TESTING

The Unio-l States department of agriculture has called attention to the Ferndale Cow Testing association in Humboldt county in California, which is the largest association of this kind in the United States. One hundred and six dairymen are members. own ing from two to 150 cows. The asso- citation last year tested 4546 COWS. It has been In successful operation 12 years
 In 1909, 5s1 cows in the association were tested, producing an average of 251 pounds of fat. Last year the av- craze of 4014 cows tested was 334 pounds Of fat. This difference in quality of COWS returned at last years butter fat price $233.213 tc Humboldt dairymen in 1920.
 The facts above give due credit to the value of COW testing association in enabling the owner to pick out surely the best animals from which to breed. By a process of selection based on records rather than impress sions, Humboldt dairymen have in- creased the dairy fat production nearly s3 pounds. The Farm Bureau is bending every effort to rebuild ths | dairy industry in Maricopa county or | the most satisfactory scale possible and one of it's objects at present il | to organize as many COW testing as I sociations as there are cows t' | justify.

Farmers And
 The Stockn1en
 In Co-operotion

Word has just come from c. $. Brown. president of the Arizona Farm Bureau Federation. to the ef- feet that the cattlemen's and sheep mems organizations are in entire sympathy with the Farm Bureau and that the three organizations propase to work in the closest harmony for the good of all concerned.
 Failure to appreciate the interde pendence of these three lines of agri- culture has been serious handicap to cattlemen, sheepmen and farmers in the past, and the attitude an- nounced is of material importance to Arizona.
 The Arizona Farm Bureau Feder- alton will hold a meeting at Flag staff July and s, at which time plans for the next year will be con sidered, new officers elected and the constitution revised. A joint meet ing at the same time is held in Flag staff by the cattle and sheep inter ests. On July one big joint session of all three organizations will be the order of the day. Officials of the organiza tfon concerned are bending an effort to effect some sort of a formal utilization which will tie the various agricultural interests in closer union-

Need of Uniform Lave

We do not believe in the new nationalsm. to which recently referred. which proposes the wp- ing out of state objection is less We can conceive of the advantage of eliminating state boundaries if states themselves cannot be brought into harmony in the enactment of laws of such that their effect cannot be confined within their respective boundaries
 The states have already made considerable prog ress in uniform legislation but really the face has only been scratched And even broad sys- tenn of uniform legislation could give of psrmanency A still better plan than uniform state legislation or the submergence Of the identity of states would be- think extend the power of the federal government in all matters with which it is proposed deal by uniform state legislation. Then this legislation would be reasonably permanent.
 The need of laws to adjust the relations of resi- dents of different states is illustrated again in preme court opinion involving the divorce law of this state which brought conflict with the divorce law of New Mexico. In fact wherever the divorce laws of states differ another essential feature there is always the possibility of em- barrassing conflict It is less important that di- vorce laws should be rigid otherwise than that they should be uniform
 It was only the vagueness of own law that enabled the supreme court to reach conclusion re- moving the conflict with the New Mexican law. The opinion holds that the legislature has power to pro- yoke such conflict if it should proceed definitely to do 70.

DRASTIC LIvEsrock Law


 The extraordinarily serious times for the agricultural industry which are evident now in every part of the United States call for utmost effi- clency from every angle. The farmer is paying certain taxes annually which seriously drain his purchasing power. Not the least of these taxes are the results of insect or disease depredations and the failure on the part of the farmer to keep the very best grade of livestock possible for him to obtain. Not everyone should start dairy herd using only regis tered animals. but no one has leeit- innate excuse for keeping a dairy sire who is not pure bred and of good individuality In order to cut out the tax on farm profits from the use Of scrub dairy sires, the legislature in Oregon recently passed bill at the request of the dairymcn legislatfne the scrub sire out of existence. Un- der this new law, every bull offered for sale in the state of Oregon must be licensed by the state dairy bull registration board. which Is the dairy husbandry department of the Oregon agricultural college ex-officfo In order to secure a license. appli- l cation must be made to the board, showing the certificate of resistra- fion- The board has authority to re- fuse a license for any bull known to transmit inferior qualities CT disease.
