UNIVERSITY HAS FINE
 RAMBOUILLET RAM

A superb Rambouillet ram has just been received by the university farm near Tucson as a loan from the Unit ed States sheep experiment station at DuBois, Idaho. This is one of the finest rams in his class in the south- west and he comes from line of heavy wool producing animals. He is sired ty the Prince of Parowan, IT, 295, which animal approaches very closely the standard set by the bu- reau of animal husbandry for Ram bouillet breeding at the Dubois sta tion. The Prince of Parowan has the remarkable record of averaging 2l1s pounds of wool for seven years in suc- cession and he transmits this char acteristic of heavy fleece to his off spring. The college of agriculture considers itself very fortunate to se- cure a direct line descendant of the Prince of Parowan for the university farm. Sheepmen when in Tucson are invited to visit the university to see this Rambouillet sheep.

GERMAN DISCOVERS PROCESS
 TO COLOR TREES ANY COLOR

A German engineer named Reimann has succeeded in perfecting process for coloring living trees. It has been found that a whole tree, from the end of its roots to the topmost leaf can be completely and permanently colored within 48 hours.
 Analine dye is used and 50 grains of it, together with 200 liters of wa ter, are sufficient for one tree. Final tests were made in the nearby forest of Tharandt in the presence of rep resentative of the Saxon government and a number of experts, including professors from the Tharandt forestry school.
 Two Dresden firms have under taken to exploit the patent. Furni,, ture, cigaret cases, pen holders and other articles are to be put on the market all made up in the new color ed wood. limitations of certain nat ural woods are declared possible through the. process. American and Dutch concerns are reported to be showing especial interest in finding markets for the novelties.

FREIGHT RATES ABSORB
 FARMERS STUD PROFITS


Railroad freight rates are five times as much as farmers get for po- tatoes. That is complaint just re- ceived, with numerous figures to bear out the argument. The shipment in question was from a point in Idaho to point in Texas. It is understood that relatively the same rate is in force from outside points to Arizona points.
 Of course Arizona at various times of the year supplies it's own potatoes. But there are long periods during the year when potatoes have to come from far away. Potatoes, considered one of the chief foods of the North Amer ican continent, should be cheaper than they are to the consumer. The po- tato farmer here in the Salt River valley, as elsewhere, has a general complaint to make against the low price he receives for his potatoes. App parently the railroad rate has some- thing to do with this low price to the farmer and high price to the con- sumer.
 Concerning the shipment from Ida ho, one expert commenting upon it., said: There is wide discrepancy be- tween what the farmer gets for the product of the soil and what the po- tatoes are sold for" He maintains this condition is general, that the case in point is not an isolated one, and that the price the farmer receives for his toll and his investment in land, is not fair to him.
 Flagstaff produces the last crop of potatoes raised in Arizona in a year. That crop is coming on and will be sold at moderate price by the farm CTS, but Flagstaff potatoes when they reach the consuming market will sell for a remarkably high price to the consumers. Phoenix is interested in Flagstaff potatoes, eats them and likes them, and pays for them, at the above mentioned price, five times, plus other costs, the price that the Flag staff farmer receives.-Phoenix Ga zette.

BIG AUTO ROAD RACE TO
 ARIZONA STATE FAIR

From the live interest manifested by speed fans in all parts of Arizona, it is safe to say that 20 to 30 en- tries will be made in the all-Arizona road race, according to the fair com mission. This race will be run from the state line east of Douglas to the state fair grounds on October 30 as the big opening gun of fair week.
 The commission is counting on at least ten entries from Maricopa coun- ty. Three applications have been re- received from Bisbee, six from Tue son and six from Prescott, with other communities to be heard from.
 The policy of the commission to limit this contest as well as the track events, which will occupy two after moons of fair week, to Arizona cars and Arizona drivers has met with popular approval. The road race will be open to all gasoline cars qualify ing under the special rules and regu- lations laid down for this contest, a copy of which may re obtained from Cal Messner, superintendent of the automobile events, State Fair commis- sion, Phoenix.
 In addition to the $6000 purse for the road race, an additional S6000 will be divided among the winners of the track events, and these will be so ar ranged that light cars will have just as good a chance to connect with the money as the heavier types.
 "We are going to have some real, onest-to-goodness competition this year," declared Messner. 'The idea of limiting the contest to Arizonans is a splendid one, and from the amount of interest displayed to date the coming event is going to be fol- lowed with as close interest in Ari- zona as the national series"
