BUG HUNTER IF

Entomologists in Search of Pests
 Must Strengthen Laws if They ' Want Full Authority; May
 Destroy Infected Property
G'rom Thursdays Daily)

Arizona officials entrusted with the preservation of the purity of foods and especially farm products, are em- powered to take infested property and destroy it under some circumstances, Attorney General w. J. Galbraith ruled yesterday at Phoenix, but there are some cases where the laws of Arizona ought to be made more spe- cific for the protection of the people
 In answer to an inquiry by Don C. Mote, state entomologist, and the commission of agriculture and horti- culture, the attorney general stated that there is some doubt as to the authority of inspectors of the com mission in districts listed as non cotton producing. The laws, he finds, are drawn with no anticipation that Arizona was to become an inn portant cotton producing state. Cot ton, 1t is said, is especially liable to infection by plant diseases and pests.
 Where property is destroyed in order to rid district of a pest, in some specific cases the work is chargeable to the state and in others to the owner, if the latter has been properly warned to take action and does not comply.

PINON NUT INDUSTRY
 COMING TO THE FORE
 THROUGH SOUTHWEST
From Thursdays Daily)

The pinon nut industry IS assuming an important place in the southwest, especially in New Mexico, according to information of the district forester of the national forest service, at AL buquerque. The place of the pinon nut industry in New Mexico is shown, says the district forester's re- port, by the following approximate estimates of the amount of pinon nuts gathered during the past year ill the three large producing regions of New Mexico. In the Carson country, 276000 pounds were gather ed, in the country around Santa Fe yield of 100000 pounds was had, and on the Datil forest 50O.OO0 pounds Tn the entire state, 1,176,000 pounds of pinon nuts were gathered, and were retailed on the local market at 20 cents a pound. The crop from the regions named represented re- tail value of $235,000, or but little less than a quarter million dollars.
 The pinon nuts gathered for mar ket are those known as the thin sheiled nut, of the type of the thin shelled pecan. There are four kinds of Vpinon nuts, but only the thin shelled type is favored for the mar ket. The pinon nut occurs plentiful ly in most parts of the southwest, es- pecially in New Mexico and in east ern Arizona. It is believed that its cultivation as an edible market com modity will shortly come into wide favor throughout the regions where it occurs. This will add another profitable industry to Arizona.

GET AUTO LICENSES
 NOW, WARNS SHERIFF
From Wednesdays pallyl

Seven hundred sixteen new auto mobile license plates have been is sued to Yavapai county motorists at the county assessors office. Ap- proximate1y 5000 1922 license plates will be issued in the county, 1t was explained, and but a short time re- mains to motorists to secure their licenses, before they will be liable to arrest. Motorists operating their cars under 1921 license plates will be hauled up by officers after Feb ruary 1, according to information at the sheriff's office.
 An ample supply of the new plates, on which for the first time is put into effect the new system of issuing serial numbers for counties with license numbers, is on hand at the office of the county assessor. This does away with any necessity of waiting until plates are shipped from Phoenix after the license fee has been paid.

Arizona Immigration Comrnis sioner Given High Praise by Federal Secretary of Commerce for Results in This State
fFrom rnnrsaay,s naiIvl

The report of the employment situ- ation in Arizona by P. R. Milnes, state immigration commissioner, won words of praise from one high i'll authority, Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, characterizing the re- port as comprehensive picture of conditions in this state, says the Re publican.
 MT Hoover commented upon the report in letter received by the governor yesterday in which he thanked him for keeping him ad- viscd as to the local situation.
 The Arizona Cotton Growers as sociation, through its general man agcr, w. H. Knox, credits MT. Mil pes with making it possible for the association to secure labor in this state without the necessity of import ing labor from Mexico.
 We were able to accomplish this largely as the result of the efficient labor surveys made by MT. Mines" said Mir Knox.
 Tangles in the alien labor situation which developed from the slump in the cotton industry and the closing down of the mines last spring were strengthened out largely through the efforts of MT. Milnes, Mir. Knox de- clared.

I'VE PER GENT ATTLE LOSS ON
 FOREST IN 1921
Highest Losses of Cattle From Drought During Past Year Oc- cured on Lower Ranges Next to Desert, Annual Report
(From Wednesday,s Dailv)


 A total loss of $500 head of cattle was experienced on ranges within the area of the Prescott National for est during the calendar year of 1921, according to the annual report of H. B. Wales, forest supervisor, to the district forester at Albuquerque, made public yesterday. The loss fig ures out at an average of about per cent, the number of cattle graz ing under permit on the forest, which was slightly under 75,O00 head.
 The highest individual loss from drouth occurred on small permit next to the desert near the Mo Dowe1l reservation, the loss amount ing to s per cent of cattle grazed on that permit The permittee made no attempt to feed, letting the cattle forage.
 Three outfits on the Prescott forest had losses of Is per cent The rest were 10 per cent or under. Forty three permittees reported no loss from drouth. The heaviest losses occurred on grazing lands next to the desert, in the Cave Creek and New River districts. Other places where losses heavier than the rest  occurred, were the Williamson Val ley, Skull Valley, Turkey and Mayer districts, Cienega, and along the Verde river.
 Only normal losses occurred on the higher ranges in the mountains where brush forage was plentiful.
 Losses from drouth were largely the result of overstocking, a condi- ton the forest service is now trying to do away with by reducing the number of cattle allowed on ranges. Overstocking was due to the inability of the cattlemen during the last few years, to market their steers.

ORE RATE CUT DESIGNED FUR
 AID OF MINERS
From Wednesdays DaiIy)

H'rom Wednesdays Daily)
 The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway will at once amend its tariffs to provide that the rate on less than carload shipments of ore will be 130 per cent of the carload rate on ore. This means a marked reduction in rates generally, and will greatly assist those who are developing the mining industry by making a low rate basis on ship ments for experimental purposes.
 That is the announcement made public yesterday by Harry E. Hartcr, agent for the lines here, who ex- plained the difference between the old and new rates. Under the pre- vious schedules small lots took rate based on the ordinary commodity tariffs which made it very expensive to ship small lots and samples of ore. Under the new system, pros pectors who have small shipments will benefit from the lower rate.
 An example would be the case of ton of ore whose value would bring a rate of SEQ For less than carload lots, this ton could travel for S26. The S20-rate, of course, refers to carloads.

.REORGANIZE STRIKE
 INSURANCE FIRM
Associated Press)

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 10.-Al- though a company, created to under write strike insurance, went into liquidation after little more than a year of existence, it is stated that a large number of employers, familiar with the plan and its benefits, are in sistent that a new company be form ed. The executives of the old com pany, therefore, are about to organ ize another one upon a plan which they say will contain the best features of the old conern but with certain changes found necessary through ex- perience.
 A widespread series of strikes dur ing the past year, coupled with busi- ness depression was responsible for the failure of the old company, the former management asserted.
 It is pointed out that strike insur- ance has become standardized in Flu rope, where it is claimed experience has proved it not only the practical means for distributing the money loss caused by strikes, but was even more useful in promoting unity of purpose among employers.
 The local company was operated on mutual basis with an assessment legally limited to an amount equal to the annual premium Specific items insured by such d plan are the fixed charges, that is, all expenses which necessarily continue whether the plant is in operation or not
 Premium rates have d wide range They vary according to the actual strike experience of each class of in dustry covering period of many years, adjusted with regard to local ity and the working conditions found ill each establishment.
 From the practical insurance view point. the contract is really the stand ard use and occupancy insurance, the chief difference being the cause of loss, which, in this case, is q strike instead of fire, explosion or other physical disaster.
 Strike insurance, its advocates con tend, is a business necessity to meet the losses caused by strikes. Besides furnishing indemnity they argue that it affords practicable means of uni flying employers of all industries and localities in the same way as the labor unions collectively act for the benefit of the workers. They insist that it is not conceived in a spirit hostile 10 labor, but is d practical bal ance wheel between two parties who for the moment appear unable to
