Farm Demonstration Work
Pruning and Spraying Orchards.
Blu r. l.. Sloan, Hgent


The time for pruning and
spraying orchards is at hand.
Pruning should be done before
spraying to save spray solution
and may be done regardless of
weather conditions. And on the
other hand, spraying can only be
done satisfactorily on mild calm
day, for wind will blow it every
where except on the tree and
rain will wash it off the trees if
done within a day of raining.
The most universally used win
ter spray is the concentrated
lime-sulphur solution, using one
gallon in eight gallons of water.
| would like to have the privi-
Iege of helping with the pruning
Of at least two young orchards
in each ward of the parish.

A. II. C. Provides Public Health Nurse
for Grant Parish.

"A k. L.. l.
for Grant Parish.
The annual meeting of the'Ex-
ecutive Committee of Grant Par
ish Chapter American Red Cross
was held Thursday afternoon,
January 6, at a o'clock in the Red
Cross room at the public school, |
Colfax. Mr.. j. H. McNeely, |
chapter chairman, presided, and
the following were present: w.
A. Brownlee, John Randolph, j.
N. Warner. Mrs. G. H. Nc
Knight and Miss Katherine
Hook, field representative of the
Gulf Division, American Red
Cross.
During the past year the Grant
Parish Chapter assisted over six
ty families in distress, including
illness, fire. and other conditions.
1t was decided to pursue pro-
gram of public health nursing,
and the field representative was
instructed to file the Chapter APP
plication for a public health
nurse, to work for the interest
of better health and health con-
ditions in Grant parish. This
work is in the nature of what is
called a demonstration; that is.
a six months program has been
adopted, and the services of a
nurse will be secured for that
length of time. to see if such
work is of sufficient value to the
citizens Of our parish to keep it.
longer.
The question might be asked,
What does a public health nurse
do?" Some of her work has al
ready been undertaken in Grant
parish, in the measuring and
weighing of the school children,
done last year. She tries to find
out in just what physical eondi-
ton the children of the parish
are, to help point out the defects
in our children, and in cases
where parents are unable to have
such defects remedied, to make
such provision for remedy as our
State affords.
She watches the gain or de-
crease in Weight of the growing
children, and tries to find as
quickly as possible the signs of
the dreaded tuberculosis in un-
derfed children. She visits in
the homes, and assists mothers
in the care and feeding Of little
babies, and helps plan proper
nourishing food for the families.
The public health nurse bears the
message of "a sound mind in a
sound body" to the schools in
our parishes, and into the homes.
In adopting this plan the Red
Cross Chapter feels that Grant
parish people want the best of
the things and want their chill
dren taken care of in the best
way that modern science can de-
wise. So be prepared to well
come the Public Health Nurse in
short while, and give her all
the cooperation that you can.
It is for yourselves that she is
coming here to work.

NICHAN MARTIN APPEALS
 TO U. s. SUPREME COURT

Steven Abbey, of Florence, counsel for Nichan Martin, who is sentenced to be hanged in the state prison at Florence, on September 9 for the mur- der of Arthur De Steunder, recently announced that he had applied to the supreme court of the United States for writ of error to prevent the ex- ecution. He said that his application for the writ alleged that the federal constitution was violated because Mar tin was not granted speedy trial.
 Mir. Abbey said he expected action on his application early in August. He said that if this step should fail to save Martins life, he had "other things up his sleeve to prevent the hanging"
 Martin was taken into the superior court of Yavapai county and re-sen- fenced to death recently, after the Arizona supreme court had granted a writ of certiorari sought by the state after Martin had instituted habeas corpus proceedings the day before he was sentenced to be hanged. At that time, Martins attorneys asked the superior court to set the date of the execution as far in the future as possible because they planned to car " the case to the United States su- preme court but they did not indicate on what grounds the appeal would be based.

ACID ENDS LIFE OF MRS.
 YOUNG, AT CAMP VERDE

Mrs. Elza Young, wife of Thomas w. Young, died at Camp Verde Thurs day afternoon as a result of carbolic acid poisoning, and was buried there last night.
 Domestic difficulties are alleged to have been the motive which led Mrs. Young to drink the contents of A. ounce bottle of carbolic acid at her home on Thursday. She was con scious for several hours after taking the poison, and died only after many hours of intense pain.
 Besides her husband, two young sons survive Mrs. Young. The family has resided in Camp Verde for many years. Not many months ago Mir. Young bought the Valley hotel from Mrs. Lucy Bailey, and since that time has been managing the establishment. Prescott Courier.
