ORIGIN OF COWBOY DRESS.

Iuasmuch as the American cowboy has come to his own in the minds and stories of fiction and historical writers as we'll as in the movies of today, it will be know the origin of his peculiar and more or less spectacular costume. A recent interview with one of the contestants who will take part in the Holdredge Frontier Roundup and "Punkin" Show, revealed the following:
 The red bandana worn by most cowboys and cowgirls was first adopted as a protection against the clouds of dust which rise from the trails over which the cattle were driven over the plains in the early roundup. This dust has large percentage of alkali. which parched the lips and throat of the, cowboy, and caused his tongue to swell pain fully. The bandana is worn loosely around the neck in order that it may be easily drawn up over the nose and mouth, thus forming a sieve through which the dust could not pass. One of the famous old time cowboys who often show up at the annual roundups as staged today carries the name of "Alkali Ike," due from the fact that he could stand more of the parching dust than any other man in his gang. The custom of wearing a bright new bandana on fete- or celebration days compares with wearing a brightly colored tie in modern dress.
 The chaps" worn by all cow boys, both in movie and regular life, is another evolution dating back to the cattle days of the Texas plains, when the prairies were dotted with mesquite brush which has long. sharp spines or thorns. When the cattle were pursued, they would dodge in and out among the brush, and many a rider had his legs pain: fully scratched is rounding them up. Later when the cattle coun- try moved further north into Kansas, Nebraska and the Da- kotas, the cowboys adopted the warm and furred chap as a pro- lection against the cold. The deep, hair.covered Stirrup pro tected the feet in the same man. ner. Fancy spurs were used for urging on the horse when fat igued.

CANVASS SANTA CRUZ COUNTY

President c. S. Brown and i County Agent Joe D. Morgan spent the early part of last week going over Santa Cr1z county in a preparatory campaign for the organization of the farm bureau in that county on the $1O mem bership basis. They report the heartiest kind of response. Santa Cruz county is up and coming. They have planted ex tensively since the beginning of the rains and at present their crops are coming fast, although there is little liklihood of the maturing of the feed. However, as in other counties of the state, they will use the forage for silage and so make every bit of work count.
 A monster barbecue has been planned for the county. The date is not yet set, and right at present only preliminary plans have been made. It has been planned to hold the celebration in a plot of ground up in the mountains. which will shortly be set aside as national park. In this celebration neighboring counties will be invited to take part, and all the dignitaries of the state, including the govern or, will be present.
 Santa Cruz cattlemen say the range is the best that it has been for twenty five years. Cat tleman and Farmer.

NEVADA CONDITIONS BETTER.

Activities in the mining fields of Nevada are increasing" ac. cording to F. M. Manson, pre- sident of the Western Ore Pur- chasing Co.,, Reno.
 For the first time in many months prospectors are starting out. This means business. All the mines I am interested in are either operating at normal capa- city or preparing for increased activities.
 Nevada was less affected by the general business depression than any of the Western States. It is an invariable rule that after a period of depression there is always a mining boom. Having travelled all over the United States in the last six months, ] think I can safely say that the bottom of the depression has been reached and that business is on the mend. This being the case, I look for big happenings in the mining game in the nex' six months.
 Labor conditions are once more returning to normal in the mining districts. The men who went out on strike against the reductions in wages of 75 cent: per day have now returned, anC I am sure labor will be plentiful during the next year"

THE INDUSTRIAL IDEA.

No city in the United States has been making stronger bid for industrial development than Los Angeles.
 It's Chamber of Commerce has been spreading the industrial idea. :
 The city has just held it's first great Industrial Trade Exposi- tion and Market Week. Thirty five hundred of it's industrial establishments with an annual output of $788, 900, ,OOO were re- presented.
 The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce is spreading the in- dustrial idea in all of the south west country, realizing that by so doing Los Angeles will grow with increasing rapidity. :.
 The industrial idea is winner for any community that takes advantage of it.

REGIONAL CONVENTION.

The executive committee of the Arizona State Farm Bureau Federation have for the past to bring about the choice of Ari- zona for the next regional con- vention of the farm bureau This convention would include all of the states west of the Mississippi.
 The holding of this convention in Arizona would bring to this state advertisers; not the kind of advertisers who go to other states and tell what wonderful desert Arizona has, but men who are trained to see what the pos sibilities of Arizona are with re- lation to the agricultural and live stock industries. Further remarks as to the worth of such a meet to Arizona would be useless.
 As to location within the state of the meeting, it was stated by Pres. c. S. Brown that no de- finite place had been decided upon. However, one of the com munitieS of the state in which there is great activity in the agricultural industry is sure to be chosen. In that way visitors can see without any delay just what Arizona can do by the me- dium of hard work and the ap- plication of a bit of aqua pura.
 A meeting of this kind will mean a lot to the farmer and livestock man of Arizona, and singly and collectively they should make it a point to boost such a meeting and assist by every means in their power tC make it a success when the re presentatives of neighboring states visit Arizona.

.. TO PATAGONIA.

The road from Tombstone to Patagonia is good as far as Fair bank. then it is very slow to Harkey's ranch; from there to one mile beyond Sonoita it is very fast, a very excellent high way, built to standard by the State Highway department. From that point to Patagonia is good travelling. Rains have bad ly washed the road between Fairbank and Harkey's ranch, but there are no mudholes to stall a car at the present time.- Prospector.

REPORT OF EUROPEAN RELIEF
BY DELTA SCHOOL CHILDREN

In making up my report for the
European Relief drive just completed
by the school children of Delta coun-
ty, wish to say the work was carried
on mostly by the school children un-
der the 9Th grade. This gives an idea
of what can be done with children If
given a chance.
I want to thank each and every one
helping in this drive for the relief
of starving children of Eastern Eu-
rope. Why should we not build good
school buildings and have good tea
chers and good county superinten-
dent whose time and work is for the
education OF better elements of sue
cess? The boys and girls desirous of
forming true character themselves
learn to step forward with clean
hand. and to use their best will power
in the morning Of life. Let them never
forget for an instant that yesterdays
best will not be sufficient for today.

that an earnest application Of intel
lect and industry will bring prizes.

LOCAL FARMERS SUCCESSFULLY
EXPERIMENT WITH SULPHUR

Last spring W. B. Mccormick, Boyd
L. Coffey and Frank Bond, three far
mers on upper Garnet mesa, expert
mented by using raw sulphur as
fertilizer.
The sulphur was obtained out OF
some old prospect holes that are
above Payne's siding and hauled
down in wagon boxes. Mr.. Coffey
planted beets and tomatoes on the
ground where he had scattered 200
pounds of this sulphur to the acre.
Not only did he find it to be an ex-
cellent fertilizer, both to the beets
and tomatoes, but it kept the cut
worms and other pests away. Out of
270O plants set out not one plant was
destroyed by the cut worms or other
pests, while on the ground where no
sulphur was used the patch had to be
replanted the second and third time.
and kindred diseases.
Mr. Mccormick planted oats in the
ground which he covered with sulphur
and found the oats to grow from six
to ten inches higher and yield at
least ten bushels more per acre than
on the ground where no sulphur was
used.
Mr. Coffey intends to carry this ex-
pertinent much further this season to
determine to what extent it will pre-
vent rust or destroy the alfalfa wee
VII. Any marked success he obtains
will be made public for the benefit
of others.
