ARIZONA FLOUR
FROM ARIZONA WHEAT

The Farm Bureau in Arizona has
recently taken TRADE at Home" en-
thusiasts to task for recommending
foreign flour instead of Arizonl
brands made from Arizona wheat.
George A. Cullen, formerly conect-
ed with the Lackawanna railroad. and
now Vice President of the North
American Fruit Exchange, recently
made an address in which he said that
eventually why not now" reminded
him that the same advertising used
in selling flour could be used with
equal success in advertising the wheat
from which the flour is made, He fur.
ther states-"Why do Armour and
Welch get all the goodwill asset out
Of advertising their particular brands
rof grape Juice, while the growers,
who produce the best quality OF grapes,
out of which that juice is made, estab.
lish for themselves no reputation with
the public, and hence are always at
disadvantage in dealing with the
juice makers.
IF | were grape grower. I think
I would make the public demand
grape Juice made from MY grapes
Having established MY name. I would
make the Juice makers come to me
instead Of the other way round, as Il
is now. or course, when speak OF
Ethe grower, mean the organization
OF growers-that is only another In.
dication of how helpless the individual
is by himself and how powerful he
may become by organization.
In the words OF another national
advertiser there is a reason" why
the consumer cannot be switched to
the use Of Arizona products over night
Standardization OF products is one
of the important factors preceding
successful marketing which. along
with the increased yields, makes an
important connection with the coun
ty agents.

THE DESERT CORN
FlEA-B LIE

The corn crop of the Gila valley is
suffering considerable damage this
season as a result OF the attacks of
the Desert Corn Flea-Beetle which
is present in great numbers in prac-
tically all the corn fields OF the val
ley
The bleached or burned appearance
of the leaves is the first indication
that the insects are present The
adult flea beetle can easily be recog-
nized. They are shiny black in color
about 3-32 of an inch In length and
nearly as broad as long. They are
able to jump nimbly and 1t is this
habit which gives them the name Of
FlearBeetle. They are easily alarmed.

ing to the ground often feign death
in order to escape their enemies.
The Desert Flea-Beetle is a native
of the Southwest. In brief the life
history of the insect is as follows.
The eggs are deposited at or near
the surface of the ground and are
hatehed in about six days. The
young larvae are found on the ten
der roots, while the older larvae are
found in the soil near the roots. The
average length of the larvae stage
is about thirty-two days. The pre-
pup and pup stages are passed with.
in a cell in the soil near the roots of
the plant upon which the larvae have
fed. These stages require about
eight days. After emerging from the
pup stage the female adults usually
begin to lay eggs within about ten
days. The total length OF the life
cycle is about seven weeks, there be-
ing two or three generations year
In this valley. The adults usually
hibernate in ditch banks which are
thickly grown up with Bermuda and
Johnson grass. The insects live upon
corn, grain sorghum, Johnson grass,
Bermuda grass, wheat, barley and to
some extent alfalfa. In causing dam.
age to these plants, the flea-beetle
works from both ends. The adults
attack the plant above the ground
and the larvae below the ground. The
adults eat out the chlorophyll OF the
leaves, causing the leaves to become
whitened and bleached, The larvae
upon Matching Immediately begin
feeding on the roots. Often the roots
after having been injured by the
larvae attempt to overcome the in.
jury by sending out net laterals so
that often slight wind storm will
blow them over.

the spring, IT win suffer most heav-

the Information of the adult beetles,
the damage will also be considerable
The control of this insect over
wide area can be accomplished only
by cultural methods, the eradication
of its alternating quarters. and the
destruction of some of Its favorite
food plants. On small acres GER
tain degree of success can be expect
ed from the use of arsenate of lead
as a spray. The specie is fairly
free from natural enemies
The greatest damage is done to the
plant just as II is coming through the
ground because at thss time it is more
tender and attractive to the beetle
and is also less resistant to attacks.

AT THE DELUXE

Fun with a purpose" IS what Mark
Twain gave the world in "A Connect
cut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"
which, presented by William Fox as a
special aim production. Is now playing
at the Deluxe theatre, Mark Twain
wrote this great comic romance first
to make the world laugh and second to
show up" King Arthur.
Twain had not very high opinion
OF the knights OF the Round Table
He had heard too much about them.
RuslSin and William Morris had been
feeding the public on the Middle Ages
and II had become the fashion to be-
lieve that everybody dead and gone
was better than everybody alive.
Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" made
Mark Twain sick He was tired Of
the Middle Ages. Ladies' languishing
In high. inaccessible towers. waiting
for knights toScome and rescue them
did not appeal to him at all lie had
been brought UP on the Mississippi
and he had the idea that one Mfssissip-
pi riyerman was as good as several Of
the knights of the Round Table and
probably a lot better. Sir Ga1ahad he.
considered a wishy washy sovt Of .
hero: he preferred Tom sawyer.
I'll show up King Arthur and his
well-known knights said Mark Twain
in effect. SO he wrote book describ
ing the adventures Of a modern, smart
clever young American at the Court OF
King Arthur.

The recent prospecting for oil in
the vicinity OF Boone county brings
back to old settlers their experiences
Of the years 1881 and 1882, when there
was great agitation in this county over
the prospects of striking gold. A
mining operator from Colorado, Rob
in Parker began prospecting for gold
in Cedar township. He claimed TO
have discovered gold and silver on the
farm of w. A. Barton, near Wilton.
Soon after this. company was form
ed-the Boone County Gold Mining
Company-but the project failed,
though some gold dust was put on
exhibition in Columbia. But this
started other ventures, and though
little gold was discovered. the pros
pectors did locate many veins Of coal,
some OF which are still being mined
in paying quantities.

MUST CARRY AMENDMENT
Chairman Gary Declares Maintenance
Fund Necessary for the Preser-
walton of the Roads.

Theodore Gary, chairman of the
State Highway commission, this week
gave out the following statement:
"If the proposed constitutional
amendment No. 3, which provides for
using the portion of the automobile
license fees not required for the sink
ing fund and interest for the SEQ, ,OO0,-
900 bond Issue, Is carried at the cleo
tion on November 9TH, careful calcu-
latlons disclose that there Will be
available for maintenance of the state
road system approximately $1,000, 900
year for the next two years from
money now on hand or to be collected
under existing laws. 1t will, however,
be necessary for the legislature to set
aside by appropriation these funds
after the amendment carries.
"If these funds are provided, the
State Highway commission will i'm
mediately take over and maintain by
the patrol method the entire state
highway system comprising approxi-
mately 1900 miles. This will give an
average of $3.50 per mile per year to
use In maintaining the state road sys-
tenn, including the portion that has
not been constructed, as well as the
1000 miles of this system that have
been completed. It is estimated that
this amount will be sufficient for the
next two years without increasing the
present motor license fees.
There is now in the state treasury
Si,335,00 in excess OF the money de-
rived from the recent sale OF state
road bonds. The commission has
made allotments and has awarded
contracts under the provisions of the
Morgan Mccullough law for over
$3.50 900 of this amount. This leaves
approximately $1,OOO,OOO Immediately
available for maintenance If the pro-
posed constitutional amendment car
ries and the proper legislative action
is taken. The legislature will be re-
quested to appropriate for mainten-
ance purposes for the next two years
| this $1,000, 900, together with approxi-
mately an additional 100000 which
it is estimated will be derived from
! automobile license fees in excess OF
that required to take care Of the bond
issue"
