Made BaupIpes Useful.

An old. adventurer who passed away
in Australia at the age Of ninety-fOur,
was the only man I've known, says a
correspondent, to put bagpipes to a
useful purpose. After being captured
when the Eureka stockade fell, he
joined the Victoria police, and was
largely responsible for the capture Of
the bushranger "Jewboy." He was then
appointed second-in-command Of an
expedition that set out to find traces
of Leichardt (another bushranger),
and he used to tell that one day the
party was surprised by 200 natives,
with hostile intent, whereupon one Nc
Intosh yelled: "The pipes, Charlie. the
pipes-while we retreat" The old ad-
yenturcr played the pipes-and the
natives were so mystified that they
stood open-mouthed while the party
marched off.

Some Cities Have Erected Sheds Along

Agencies to Assist In Eff
Client Distribution.

Open retail markets constitute the
simplest and least extensively oper-
ated of all types of public markets.
In It's simplest form a market of this
type may, be merely designated
length of curb, a section Of broad
street, a vacant lot where, under
slight supervision, farmers may group
their wagons and sell to consumers.
In its highest development such a
market may consist of paved tract
with raised walks covered with sub
stantial sheds to protect teams, wares,
buyers, and sellers from the weather.
The shed may even be Of type that
in bad weather may be made practical
ly into an enclosed building by the
use Of rolling doors. A few cities have
erected sheds along street curbs for
the protection Of open markets but
for the most part curb markets are
unprotected and sheds are constructed
only In markets situated on special
market tracts.
The essential feature Of retail
market is the restriction Of purchases
to consumers as distinguished from

BEES ARE VERY PROFITABLE
Common Honey Gatherer ls by Far
Best Carrier Of Pollen-Seatter
Through Orchard.

The common honey bee Ia by far
the best carrier of pollen and 1t will
pay the fruit grower to keep bees,
even though he may not care to go
into the honey business. Bees, how
ever, are very profitable side-line
for the orchardlst, especially 1t al.
falfa fields are available to work on
after the blooming season of fruit
has passed. About one hive Of bees
to an acre Of bearing orchard should
be provided.
Preferably the hives should be scat
tered as widely as possible throughout
the orchard during the blooming sea-
SON. Experiment and experience have
shown that little reliance can be
placed on the efficacy Of wind and Of
Insects other than the honey bee In
erecting the transfer OF pollen from
tree to tree, or in fact from flower to
flower.

Planting cover or green manurel
crops is a matter which requires at
tention In September In most parts Of
the United States, says the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Clover, vetch, and other legumes
serve the triple purpose of adding
humus to the soil, accommodating nj
trOgen, and preventing soil erosion.
With some tender berry and fruit
crops they also serve to protect the
roots from severe winter weather Out
side Of the nitrOgen-fOrming plants,
rye Is largely used as a cover crop
sOwn In the fall and plowed under In
the spring to add organic matter to the
soil. The cover-crOp problem varies
largely with locality, but for over
winter purposes there is one rule which
is universal, and that Is to get the
crop In the ground in time to secure
good growth before freezing weather.
A Practice Of Long Standing.
The use Of clover or some other
legume to enrich the soil Is generally
considered a cardinal agricultural
practice In the humid sections Of the
United States. It antedates by three
fourths of century the monumental
discovery that legumes store up nitro
gen from the air. The belief that
clover was a valuable improver rested
first on experience, and later expert
ence was substantlated by the dis
covery Of the relation between the
legumes and the nOdule bacteria.
Other legumeS, as the cowpea, the
Japan clover and bur clover In the
South, and crimson clover on the At
lantic coast, have come into use In the
territory, not well adapted to red
clover. The various vetches are held
IN widespread favor, different varle-
ties being employed according to eli
mate and crop conditions.
The time Of planting and the best
crop to use Is matter which local
conditions must dictate. Along the

dealers. Such a market, If 1t 10 o
producers market" furnishes an OPP
portunity for direct dealing between
producers and consumers. Open re-
tail markets may also admit hucksters,
or wagon and push-cart peddlers as
statesmen. These dealers are usually
admitted under certain restrictions.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has given much attention
to the subject of public markets, their
establishment and operation, as an
economical and satisfactory meeting
place for the country producer and
the city buyer. A new Department
Bulletin, No. 1902, entitled "Open
Types of Public Markets." is now
available for distribution, and copies
may be had free by writing to the De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
d. G.
The bulletin discusses the function
Of public markets, their ownership and
control, establishment and operation.
It says that public markets are not
agencies to replace other means Of
distribution of farm productivity are
supplementary agencies to aid, under
favorable conditions, In efficient dis
tributiOn.

PROBLEMS OF AVERAGE FARM.
One Of the Most Important Is to Ar

To arrange the work Of the farm 90
that each department can be made to
turn a profit is one Of the important
problems Of the average farm. Where
silos are added to the farm buildings

follow. Less hay IL needed, less land
Is required for pasture. more stock can
be kept on the land, more Land must

SUCKERS ON CORN HARMLESS


Many farmers are possessed with
the idea that the suckers or earless
stalks which grow from an ear-bear-
ing stalk OF corn, are a hlndrance to
the best growth Of the latter;
ana valuable hours are sometimes
spent removing them. But expert
ments during two successive years on
Nebraska farms demonstrated that
corn with the suckers left undlsturbed
outylelded that from which the suck
ers had been removed. Their leaves,
like the others, would seem to per
form useful ONCE n absorbing nu-
tratiye elements from the atmosphere

north Atlantic coast 1t is considered
best to get these crops in from the
first to the middle Of August, while
In the extreme South the planting may
be deferred to early October. In the
extreme North hairy vetch Is favored
as legume cover, or green manure
crop, but rye Is also largely planted.
From middle Pennsylvania to tha
north Alabama line crimson clover
gives good results. In the extreme
South bur clover, vetch, and crimson
clover are used, as well as velvet
beans and cowpeas.

Methods with cover crops vary great
ly. In the South they are customarily
sowed between rows of cotton at the
last picking. It is also common to
SOW the winter crop between corn
rows before harvest. Wherever clean
cultivation is practiced the soil is
likely to be In shape for broadcast
Ing the seed. If convenient, 1t can be
narrowed in. In orchards light har-
rowing or disking may be employed
IL the ground Is free from sod. Care
must, of course, be taken not to lhJure
the roots. The crop is usually plOwed
under In the spring, but this is not al
ways done with orchards. Data col
lected In all parts Of the United States
shows a general benefit from this form
Of agriculture.
Cover crops are Of especial value to
small gardeners and truckers, who
often find it both difficult and ex-
pensive to obtain stable manure. They
add the humus which Is so necessary
to maintain a good physical condition
Of the soil.

BASKET BALL
 TEAM WINS AND LOSES

The Boys Basket Ball Team of the Williams High School played two fast games of the great indoor sport on Friday and Saturday of last week, winning one and losing the other. The boys left on No. 22 Friday and returned on Mo- 21, Sunday morning.
 The team went first to HOl- brook where the local team was defeated by a score of 4S to Fl. The Williams boys led off in good shape and had the best of the tussle for the first half, the score then being IA to 13 in favor of Williams. During the next half the Williams boys lost their grip and the last whistle found them with but 21 to Holbrook's 4S.
 Saturday night found the Williams boys on the Winslow court putting up grand fight which they hardly dared hope might end in victory. The Winslow team was known to be d SUI O1lS OuC, SoPPOoOuiS oCAOhS- CT than Holbrook. The end of the first half found Winslow one ahead, the score being fl to 15. In the second half the Williams boys got together in a way that took the heart com pletely out of Winslow. In desperation the Winslow coach worked in subs until IT men in all were used, but despite this the Williams boys piled up 37 by the end of the game while Winslow could land but 20.
 After the game the Winslow boys honored the Williams team with a dance, which prov ed a very pleasant affair.
 The Williams boys returned Sunday thoroughly tired but we'll pleased with the showing they had made.

Albert Hackerson and Bob Kennedy returned from their trapping trip in sycamore Can yon without the bear. They claim the storm caught them and they had to come in. It looks as if bruin and his family will enjoy a good peaceful life. Albert and Bob say they found fresh tracks measuring 4 inch es across. Anyway, who wants to hunt bear that big?
 It looks as if the North Pole may be located in Pittman Val ley. On the morning of the 5th the lowest temperature re- corded in Williams was zero, in Spring Valley 4 degrees above zero. in Garland Prairie 2 degrees above zero, while at the Chalender Ranger Station in Pittman Valley the therA mometer register eight degrees below zero. It has always been known to the old timers that Pittman Valley was the coldest spot in the country but it was not known that the diff ference in temperature was so great. People hunting a fine healthful, cool invigorating eli mate, should go to Pittman Val ley, where the people never get sick and seldom die.

The storm descended Thursday night at eight o'clock and lasted for con- slderably over an some thing almost unheard of for cyclones. However, this par ticular cyclone was quite differ ent from the usual Kansas and Central States type. This was a cyclone of fur and laugh ter. It was headed by the Viii Hams Cyclone Theatrical Com pany and followed by an ava lanche of applaus.
 Which is to say that the Cy- clone company directed by Miss Opal Massey staged the comedy drama, Aaron Slick from Pun kin Crick' at the Sultana Thurs day night, and made an even greater success of this product ion than practically the same set of players did with Daddy last season. The company has been we'll named, for the entire house, filled to capacity, was WIh1cu away CO all AOuT dflO more of mirth and laughter at the extremely humorous com edy unusually we'll put on. The producers have been showered with compliments and have been asked to appear again in Williams at a later date.
 The play will be presented by the Cyclone company at Ash Fork Saturday night, and plans are being completed for it's presentation at Flagstaff and Prescott at later dates.
 The production was direct ed by Miss Opal Massey. Those; taking part in the play were:

GARLAND PRAIRIE ITEMS

It cost Diver Gardner just one hundred and sixty-six dol lars to get his place surveyed. The surveyor was on the job two weeks, and experienced difficulty in locating the old corners. The original survey of Garland Prairie was made in 1878. The work was done by contract, and Surveyor Jim Lamport of Flagstaff says that the work was very poorly done.
 A few days ago H. s. Perry saw what he believed to be coon tracks. He followed the tracks, which led to a hollow oak tree He cut down the trees and got four fine big fat racoons. The folks of the neighborhood enjoyed a feast, and also rendered out enough oil from the racoons to oil har- ness and saddles for a long time.
 Dick Sedio, who is employed on the Shelley Ranch, while travelling down Sycamore Can yon saw the biggest tracks he had ever seen-those of a bear measuring IA inches across. They were fresh tracks. Dick says he left that Canyon right now, as he didn't want to meet any monster that owned feet that big.

TOWN MARSHALL NABS
 THREE NAVY OBSERVERS

Town Marshal Bobby Burns made a lucky catch last Thurs day night when he picked up three deserters from the u. 5. BattIeship Pennsylvania. He noticed three young men get off from a freight and stepping up to them engaged in conver- sation with the three. He soon learned enough to know that all three belonged in jail, and accordingly placed them there.
 It developed that the three had stolen a Ford in California and had driven the car as far as Kingman where they aband- oned it. They also confessed to being deserters from the Pennsylvania.
 On Tuesday of this week the three were haled before Geo. NcDougall, acting U. s. Court Commissioner and given pre- 1iminary hearing. Atty. Wilke of Phoenix one of the officials of the Department of Justice came up to handle the case. The three are now held under the Dyer act and will be brought up before the Federal Court at it's next term. The three were taken to Flagstaff Tuesday night and are being held in the county jail awaiting trail.
 Marshal Burns has received a reward of S75 for taking the three. This reward is paid by the Automobile Association of California.
