PETRIF|ED WOOD FROM
THE FOREST IMMORTAL

In the heart of the southwestern
Wonderland we find the most won
derful (yet the most puZZling) of
Earth'S natural marvels-The Pet
riied Forest. Over parts of Navajo
and Apache counties, Arizona, we
find the Ghosts of Fossil Trees-great
trees which grew to height of 240
feet in the days Ca few millions years
ago. when forests nestled on the
breast of Old Mother Earth. They
fell where they stood-these giants
mostly with their heads to the south;
laid low by mighty something,
earthquake, or maybe when old moth
er cath turned over on her side
Then subsistence, probably under an
inland sea, the water of which was
warm and undoubtably contained in
solution-iron- maganese, sulphur,
copper. Great pressure forced these
minerals into every atom of the great
treet and the alchemy of nature
transmured these kings of the for
est into Gems of a thousand dazzling
cOlors. Today we find these trees
fractured into pieces-the longest
pieces of perhaps twenty feet and
the smallest, tiny pieces, you will
find tons of them. Twenty-Five thou
sand acres have been set aside by the
Government as National monument
so that those who follow us may see
for themselves this wonderland of
gems. You are permitted to take a
few small pieces FOR REMEM-
BRANCE". In the town of Holbrook
which is in county of Navajo, you
will find an artistic Frenchman who
will turn your REMEMBRANCE into
true gem stones; Unique designs
(after your own fancy or the more
conservative pendant, ring or other
jewel Then there is the ever popu
lar paperweight of specimen with on
ly one face polished. The Lapidarist
who performs the modern miracle of
making something beautiful into
thing of beauty supreme is Louis
Marleau a gem cutter of note He
will also turn an Amethyst Sapphire
or other stone which may be cut
(as they say facet cut, into thing
of wonder-in short he is a Gem cut
ter with a 100 per cent technique.
We were much interested in his lit
tie shop filled with beautiful stones
and jewelry of his own making. For
those who crave the beautiful and
unique, it is well worth while to pay
a visit to this little wonder shop.

FAREWELL SURPRISE PARTY

A farewell surprise party was ten
dered Mr.. and Mrs c. c. Berkley at
the home of their brother and wife,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Berkley, on East
AspinwaIl Street, Tuesday evening,
nv company of their WlnSloW
friends. 1t was a farewell party in
view of the approaching departure OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Berkley who will be 10
Gated at Needles, California, after
couple of months spent in the East
It was a surprise because the trlends
who planned the affair neglected
(purposely) to notify them until the
last moment and even then they
didn't tell them the exact nature ~
what was going on at the brother 5
home that made their presence so ne =
essary. But in due time they were
ushered into the presence Of rouse
full of friends and made to under
stand that twas a surprise party IN
their honor 1t was a day of sur
prises for them, for they had been
surprised in the morning, by the ar
rival of the father and mother OF Mt.
Berkley who came down from River
bank. California for a little WISH
with them before they left for the
East. Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Berkley,
Mrs. A. r. Dewey, and Mrs. FRED
Hanson, were chiefly responsible Tor
carving out the surprise. num-
Der of Mr. Merkley's co-workers at
the ice plant were present to JON IN
the farewell to their chief. Many
other friends and neighbors OF Mf'
and Mrs. Berkeley were present III
token of the high esteem in which
they hold them, and to participate IN
the expression of good wishes ana
godspeed to their departing friends.
The evening was spent in the enjoy
ment of music, games, and general
merry-making. Those rendering
music were Mr.. and Mrs. ]. G. Hadley
on the mandolin and guitar, Mrs. u.
c. Franklin, piano and vocal, Osa
Berkley, vocal Rev. w. L. Martin,
vocal, Mrs. Homer Vaughan, piano,
and possibly others, who took part
before the arrival of the writer.
There was also singing in which a
number of the guests participated
Some of the games which were con-
tests between the ladies and gentle
men were very exciting and interest
ing. The ladies seemed to have the
gentlemen bested on most OF these
games Perhaps (O this was due
partly to the chivalry Of the gentle
men. Now, you will guess the gen.
der of the writer and yet you may
not guess it correctly.
Delicious refreshments, consisting
of banana jello, cake, and coffee, was
served. The hostess, Mrs. E. E. Berk-
ley, was assisted by Mrs. Hanson
Mrs. Berkley Sr, and Mr.. E. E.
Berkley in the serving. The party
broke up near the midnight hour
with many expressions of regret at
the departure of the guests Of honor,
but with hearty goodwishes for their
success and happiness in their new
home.

Peach Growers Will Be
Wise to Spray for Curl

Peach growers who wish to guard
against leaf curl and a resulting re-
duction of the stand Of fruit, will be
sure to spray while the trees are still
dormant, warns the New York State
College of Agriculture at ithaca
The fruit men at the college explain
that the organisms or spores which
cause the leaf curl remain through the
dormant period among the bud scales.
Infection takes place while the buds
are bursting and early growth is TAX
ing place.
To prevent leaf curl it is necessary
only to kill those spores by applying
a fungicide before the buds begin to
swell To obtain perfect control, 1t
is probably necessary to hit every
spore, but as one cannot see the
spores, the next best thing Is to be
sure to hit every bud.
Commercial lime-sulphur solution d.
luted 1-20 is sufficiently strong for the
purpose. If scale is also to be COM
bated, it will be necessary to use the
lime-sulphur solution at scale strength,
that Is, from Is to 1-12.

A simple way of making the outer
coil of a variometer so that the wind
ing is opposite the rotating ball is de-
scribed below.
Fig. / is the molder. 1t consists OF
half a ball cut out at one end so that
a plug will fit in.

gether ready for winding. This is
wound with suitable wire and then
covered with a mixture Of sealing wax
and rosin. on the wire, so that 1t Will
hold the wires together. When the
mixture has hardened, the end plug IS
taken out and the winding is pulled
off, as in Fig. 8.
Two of these windings go with
variometer and are placed In boxes
Just deep enough to cover IT, The coil
should be placed exactly In the middle
of the box and the same mixture

Trees 2 Years Old Are
Superior for Planting

Young trees to be set out next spring
should be two years old and about
three-fourths of an inch in diameter
near the ground. In case there are no
two-year trees handy. get a one-year
whip. Three-year-old trees are apt to
suffer shocks from transplanting. Be
sure that the roots are tree from dis
ease. and do not take substitutes
Cancel the order when substitutes are
offered and ship them back 1t Is not
a good plan to cancel orders, but when
a firm sends makeshift varieties In
place of the ones ordered the buyer
has a right to complaint he knows
the difference, which many do not.
Dig a trench for the young trees
upon their arrival. Put the roots of
the trees in this trench and cover well
with earth, well packed so that the
roots get contact with the soil. Do not
pack tight enough to break the roots
down. Lay the trees In at an angle
Of about As degrees.

Several Excellent and
Potent Dormant Sprays

Many excellent and efficient dormant
sprays have been perfected OF late
years. Some OF these commercial
preparations and miscible oils are In
every way admirable They mix read
ny with water and may be applied
with perfect safety. However, lime
sulphur is still used far more largely
than any other dormant spray. Many
thousands Of orchardists make their
own lime sulphur spray, while others
buy the commercial mixtures. Some
authorities now contend thar lime
sulphur is one Of the most inefficient

investigate So-Called
New Breeds of Poultry
Trspared by the United statex Dsnart,n.,.
Of Agrieulturs)

Il
DS me United States Department
OF Agrieulturs)
Durlng the past few months tba
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has received many requests from
al parts OF the country for inforna-
aion concerning two so-called new
Dreeds' Of poultry, the "Turkenp and
the 'Kiwi". The department has been
aware OF advertisements concerning
these new and novel breeds. for
which some rather remarkable claims
nave been made. The advertisements
ana literature describing the origin
ana qualities Of these breeds" seem
10 have aroused much interest on the
part OF the public, since the depart
ment has recently received several
urgent requests for an explanation re-
garding the reliability of the claims
made.
The statements In the advertise
ments and literature claim that the
Iurken" was originally produced by
crossing a male turkey with a female
chicken. and that the ''Kiwi' was pro-
duced by crossing male ostrich with
a female chicken.
Successful crosses have been made
between the pheasant and the chicken,
and in practically every case the
progeny has been Of the male sex and
sterile. Also, successful crosses have
been made between the guinea and the
chicken and here, again, the sex Of the
progeny has almost invariably been
male and the hybrids have been sterile.
Both Of these crosses have been made
with great difficulty and, so far as
known, no cross giving any progeny
has ever been reported between ths
turkey and the chicken. Furthermore.
it is highly improbable that the
progeny, II any have ever been secured,
would breed at all, and certainly not
readily. In such wide or violent
crosses the progeny is always sterile,
and the claim that the ''Turken".
which is reported to be the hybrid
progeny Of cross between the turkey
and the chicken, is in all probability
not founded on fact.
One other point must be made con-
corning the so-called 'Turken", says
the department. The Illustrations &C
companying the advertisements and lit
erature are in all probability photo
graphs Of the Pennsylvania naked
neck chickens. According to the best
obtainable this odd-look-
ing breed originated in West India and
the characteristic naked-neck has bred
true for many years. 1t is a distinct
character Of the breed. The depart
ment believes that the so-called ''Tur-
ken" is nothing else than the Transyl-
yania naked-neck chicken, which ap-
parently possesses no qualities superb
DR. to the more important standard
breeds and varieties and has not been
shown to be particularly well adapted
TO conditions in many parts of our
AS far as the reported cross giving
rise to the "Kiwi'' is concerned. there
8 much less evidence in support OF
,uch a cross than in the case Of the
This is too violent cross
o produce any results whatever.
The burden OF proof that such |
.rosses as those giving rise 10 the
and the "Klwi" must remain
Win the sponsors Of such novel pro-
luctions. In the meantime, the inter
,sts of the public should be safe
u1arded.
