The Ten Commandments In
terlocking.

Here is bit of news, taken from
the New York Tribune of last Thurs
day, that ought to be pondered by
business men, especially young busl-
ness men everywhere.
"Stock fthe National City Bank
went up SIP share yesterday with
the announcement of the resignation
of James A. Stillman as president
and the selection of Charles E.
Mitchell as. his successor. The stock
was quoted at $3O5 the. preceding
day and the opening sale yesterday
was at $317. That remained as the
bid price for the rest of the day, but
there were no more sales"
So a sermon is preached more elo-
quent than one usually hears from
any pulpit. 1t is commonly said that
in New York and in other great cit
les, for that matter, the moralities
do not count for great deal and
the numerous stories, crimes and
scandals daily published, lend color
to that opinion.
James A. Stillman resigned the
presidency of a bank. Stillman is a
wealthy man and his reputation for
honesty and ability as a financie1
has never been questioned. The news
of his resignation was instantly fol.
lowed by rise of SIP share in the
value of the banks stock Stillman's
name has been damaged by the ex'
posure of his domestic relations ir
the divorce courts. The financial
public of New York city relates the
weaknesses of the man as private
citizen, directly and sharply to hi'
capacity and usefulness as banker
Whether the rottenness in the higher
circles in New York society be great
or small, it is proved by the stocl
market quotations that the conf
dence of financial New York in {
great institution is materially affect
ed by the misconduct of its head in {
field supposed to be wholly separated
from his professional activities.
All of which is another way o:
saying that the Ten Commandment
are interlocking and the people
know 1.-THE State.

said they used their machines for

harvesting.
Theadvent of the tractor is having
it's effect upon the plowing habits of
the country farmers. In the past,
much of the ground was allowed to
lie idle until spring, when plowing
was pushed, whereas now it is the
custom of most power farmers to get
into the field and turn over the soil
Just as soon as the harvest is over.
Bydoing this, the ground is placed
in condition to receive full benefit
ofthe fall and winter SHOWS and
rains and the vegetationplowed un-
der is used to fertilize the soil. With
the tractor outfit, plowing can be
done to greater depth, thus releas-
ing more plant food for the next
seasons crop, and the superior power
of the tractor enables the owner to
regulate the depth of plowing and
secure an absolutely uniform pene-
tration throughout the field.
In direct comparison of the work
accomplished by tractor and horse
blowing outfits, it was found that one
man with tractor and two-bottom
plow did the work of two men and
two two-horse teams with two one
bottom plows, and that one man with
a tractor pulling drillers could drill
as much wheat in day as two men
driving two four-horse teams.
Reducing Cost of Operation.
Farming is just the opposite of
manufacturing, for on the farm the
less outside labor required to carry
on the work the more profitable will
be the returns to the owner, where
as the manufacturer figures on max
ing certain percentage from the
labor of each man employed. The
more ways in which the owner ola
farm can multiply his own supervi-
sion and expenditure of time, the
better off he will be, for then he can
carry on his agricultural operations
with no overhead expense except the
cost of his power, whether animals or
machine. The chief disadvantage of
work stock is the care and attention
they require, for though it may not
cost much to feed them, yet when
they are to- be worked they must be
split up into small units, each in
charge of man or boy, whereas the
tractor, possessing many times the
power of an animal, can be operated
bya single individual land by multi
plying the number of implements
used with the tractor, the work ac-
complished can be very materially IN
creased. The tractor saves the time
and makes possible the multiplication
of the supervision of the owner, and
inthis sense it is superior to work
horses and mules. Where both the
tractor and a few head of stock are
kept on the same farm, the owner
can be absolutely assured of getting
his work done in this way and at the
time he wants it.-Farm & Ranch.

Statistics Prove This City on Way to
Metropolitan Proportions-State
Also Shows Great Progress

Phoenix, strictly speaking, may not
have reached metropolitan proportions
yet, but it is well on it's way and
many declare without an undue ap-
pearance Of braggadocio that the goal
lis almost within sight, according to
officials of the Chamber of Com
merce, who back up their assertions
with an imposing string of figures.
Beginning with the state, of which
Phoenix is>the hub, capital and chief
city, the population for 1920 is given
at 3S3.27S, as compared with 2O4,354
for the census of 1910. OF this num-
Iber, Maricopa county has become
haven of refuge to S9.4sS. and of this
latter number $4,000 have passed
through the other cities and towns
lof the state and have unloaded their
lares and penates permanently with
i'm the environs of Phoenix. This, of
course, does not include the great
number who are in the city simply
looking it over before buying lot
and truckload of lumber and stay
ing here.
The assessed valuation of the state
lis given at $SS4,455, ,6S2.5O, to which
must be added $779,O00 credited to
the private car lines within the state,
giving a total of $S86,6S250. This
total, it was said yesterday, is accu-
rate to the last penny of the so cents
tackled on the end of millions pre-
ceding it. OF this huge amount Mari
copa county has $134,246,541, while
Phoenix puts $41,OOO,OOO on the right
side of the ledger. These assess
ments are compared with those for
191O-1911 as follows: Arizona, $685.
O92,7OS; Maricopa county, s21,244.24,
and Phoenix, $9,O1S,S5S.
Tremendous Gain in Bank Deposits
Bank deposits up to May 4, 1920,
are placed at s1OS,S77 ,61O.45 for the
state; $SO,2S2,715,4O for Maricopa
county, and $24,S30,2S76S for Phoe-
mix. While the bank deposits for the
state increased approximately five
times during the decade since 1910,
they increased more than six times
for Maricopa county and the city of
Phoenix.
The bank resources Of the state at
the same date were $1OS,95S, ,ss6.47, as
Phoenix tribune., 1921-03-26
'DURING PAST YEAR Ol3 new RESIDENCES
we're CONSTRUCTED IN PHOENIX

compared with $23,992. .749.S5 ten
years ago. The bank resources of
Phoenix amount to $27,636.360.64, as
compared with s5,22s,427.41 during
1910.
That the real resources of the
state and its chief city. however, are
in its school children, and always
have been thus, is shown by the fig
ures for the school census. Arizona
has 1928 'children learning their
A B C's and differential calculus
throughout the state, and of this
number Maricopa has nearly one
third, or 25,133. Phoenix has 1852,
as compared with 1924 in 1919.
In the matter of automobiles, which
have become largely the measure of
wealth in any community, Phoenix
has much more than one-third of the
entire number in the state. OF the
93,96S which are listed for Arizona,
13,96S are registered in Maricopa
county. These are figures for the
first 10 months of the year.
Other items of interest IN the tabu-
lation for Phoenix are as follows:
Building permits 90 months), $4.-
243,72S.
Postal business 90 months), $2O4,-
900.

OF ALL PRODUCERS
Every year sees increasing numbers
of farmers in the Salt River valley join
in the ranks of those who believe in
and practice crop rotation. Crop ro-
1ation and companion cropping amount
to and about the same thing, with COM
panion cropping showing slight advan-
tages. over crop rotation in several
directions.
Some<fields are now going into al
faifa, with barley, oats or wheat inter-
cropped. Some are going in the same
way with white sweet clover for the
same purpose. The only drawback to
intercropping wheat and sweet clover
is that mills 10 not like to make flour
out of the wheat, as the clover gives
it slight fragrance
A good combination crop to plant
with wheat is vetch or field peas.
When planting a combination crop care
should be used not to use more than
40 pounds Of wheat or 80 pounds of
either the vetch or the sweet peas. The
same advicehol gooh in the case also
of barley OF oats. In the latter case 80
pounds of barley and 95 pounds of oats
give the best results when seed crop
is to be harvested.
The reason for this light seeding
when using a legume is outlined in
this manner: Grain roots have an es-
cubic inches. They go mainly to a
depth of five or six inches. Vetch is
only winter growing legume, as is
also the field pea. Vetch is also the
best growing winter legume known.
and it is estimated that its roots will
cover a feeding area of about 1900
cubic inches, and the root system is
deeply matted. The field pea has a
root system almost as good The sweet
clover, in the first year of planting,
HAS root system about the same as
the field pea. Sour clover has a root
system hardly equal to that of the
same clover grown in the same space
of time. These legume roots have the
following effects on the grain:
The soil water, which contains the
plant food, follows these roots from
great depth up to the surface mulch,
thus allowing more plant food to reach
the grain roots than would otherwise
come in contact with them, which, in
effect is the same as extending the
roots very deep into the subsoil.
By saving only one-half as many
plants growing because of light SOW
ing, as is advocated, there will be
larger and stronger plants, with better
root systems. 1t also does, away with
the danger OF overcrowding the plants
SO that they stool fully. More stools
per grain plant will prevent under this
method Of growing, the heads will be
larger and the grain will weigh more
to the sack.
1t is understood, in connection with
the foregoing, that the best results are
not to be expected unless the plants
are supplied with the nitrogen which
enables them to- become strong grow
ers. Native bacteria have been found
wanting, SO that it is necessary to ap-
ply artificial incubation.
Alfalfa and sweet clover are gener.
ally used in this kind of planting when
it is desired to keep the legume crop
after the grain is harvested. In the
case of sweet clover, however, it will
supply about six weeks of fine, heavy
pasture, even if it is to be turned
under later for some summer crop.
The sweet clover kills very easily with
discing.
