farm are thrown upon the mar
ket in large quantities. Our
farmers do not attempt to sup
ply their own needs from what
they produce but rely on purchasing
what they need from the sale of the
product or products that they are
able to produce best and most eco
nomically.
Land, labor and capital are the
three factors involved in production.
A rise in any one of these factors in
creases the cost of production. Land
values have been rising rapidly. This
means that many of our farmers have
become wealthy not so much from
the farm products sold from the farm
but from the rise in value Of land.
They are enjoying what is commonly
spoken of as the "unearned mere
ment" Some day somebody will have
to pay for this. If we do not then it
will be our children or our children's
children.
Something TO Think About.
1t is said that only from to Is
per cent of the farms of the United
States are inherited The rest must
be paid for in whole or in part once
with each generation. Can this be
done? With increasing land values
this becomes increasingly more diff
cult. A reasonable rate of interest
on land worth $4,000 will involve
an interest or rental charge of $500
TO $500 per acre. On land worth
$4,000 this will be from $4,000 to
$24.00 per acre. This is a heavy fixed
charge for the farmer who attempts
to pay for his farm in the course of a
life time. Unless this can be done it
means that we are to be cursed with
a permanent tenant system
The census shows that our farm
acreage has not increased near in pro-
portion to the increase in population.
1t is true that we have regions Of un-
developed or only partially developed
land, but the unused land is the least
productive or is poorly located or
needs development, or the rainfall is
uncertain Our labor costs are great
er than in European countries and as
increased yields per acre usually in
volYe more labor the increase in pro-

YOUNG CURRANT CANES BEST
Pruning Knife, Systematically Used,
Is Favored for Bushes That
Have "Run Out"

There is one point to be kept in
mind in pruning currants, and that is
that the best fruit is borne on the two
and three-year-old wood rather than
on younger canes, as is the case with
most bush fruits. After the canes are
four or five years old they become
stunted in growth and the fruit mate
rally dwarfed in size. The pruning
knife is the only remedy. It should
be Systematically used to cut away the
old growth and encourage new.
Many people who do not take this
fact into consideration, or who have

BEST TREE SHAPE AND FORM
While, Foliage Is at Its Best Is Time
to Determine Limb or Branch
to Remove.

At this time of the year the foil
age is at its best. This makes it easy
to get the best shape and form Of
the tree. 1t is best to examine the
tree carefully to determine just the
branch or limb to be removed. The
larger limbs should be kept and the
cross limbs and those that seem in
the way should be removed. When
limbs of trees are removed, it is nee
essary to make the cut next to the
body of the tree. This will give easy
access for the return flow of sap to
cover the wound. Never leave a stump
Of a limb.

RANGE CONDITIONS ARE
IMPROVED BY RAINFALL

Mild weather and a moderate
amount of rainfall in north-central
Arizona and western New Mexico
have improved range and water con-
ditions considerably and the stock sit
uation is more encouraging than at
the close of last week. kilograms to
the weather bureau state that in
northwestern New Mexico water and
range conditions are good; in the
southwestern portion water and stock
have improved. Favorable reports
are received from the Whiteriver sec
ton where it is stated that the range
and cattle are in good condition. All
the precipitation that has fallen in
the northern portion of the district
during the week was in the form OF
rain; all ranges are free from snow.
Generally clear skies and tempera-
lures comparable to the middle OF
March rather than mid-winter have
been prevalent in the south during
the last Is days. An average daily
temperature of 60 degrees, or ten de-
grees above normal, during this per-
iod, has enabled all phases Of farm
work to make more headway than
could ordinarily be expected at this
season. Rain alone is needed and that
very urgently. Incident to the drouth
unseasonably heavy drafts continue to
be made on water in storage and nat
ural flow streams. On the other
hand this warm, dry weather has left
cotton stalks in an unusually good
shape for stumping. The valley pas
tunes are showing effects from the
attacks of the herds of hungry cattle
and sheep brought in to winter. Ewes
are now lambing under conditions OF
weather and feed that could hardly
be more propitious. Lemon trees are
blooming in the Yuma section and or
anges coming into bud.

JUDAS ISCARIOT BETTER
THAN KNOCKER OF STATE
SAYS. BOOSTER. FOR ARIZONA

Judas Iscariots was regular gen
tlenans compared to the knocker of his
home state, according to a member of
the new .I'm For Arizona club" which
was organized at Douglas during the
good roads convention this week.
The booster, VINO believes every
mocker should be shotsat sunrise, if
not sooner, sends in the following:
'rAfter God had finished the rattle
snake, the toad and the vampire, He
had some awful substance left with
which He made a knocker.
A knocker who knocks Arizona is
two-legged animal with a cork
screw soul, water-sogged brain and
a combination backbone made of jelly
and glue. Where other people have
their hearts he carries a tumor of rot
ten principles. When the knocker of
Arizona comes down the street honest
men turn their backs, the angels weep
tears in Heaven and the devil shuts
the gates of hell to keep him out.
mo man has the right to knock as
long as there is pool of water deep
enough to drown his body in, or a
rope to hang his carcass with.

compared to a lnocker, for after be-
traying his Master he had enough
character to go hang himself, and a
knocker has not. douglas Interna-

MONTEZUMA CASTLE Is
BEING ADVERTISED NOW

In the report of the director of the
national mark service, rendered to the
secretary of the interior, considerable
nublicitv is given to Montezuma Cas-
tie. Too few citizens realize the real
value of Montezuma Castle as a nat
ional monument and historic rum.
Strangers or guests are always an1-
ious to learn of these ruins and 1t is
hoped some day that the chamber OF
commerce, through its agency may be
able to publish folder devoted ex-
clusiyelv to the hieroglyphic records
and old Indian ruins as well as mon
uments whose origin are unknown. q
special illustrated plate is found OF
Montezuma Castle in the report men
toned. The records show that 5000
visitors registered from January to
September at Montezuma Castle this
year. With an improvement Of the
highway leading to the castle, this
number will be greatly increased.
According to the report Montezuma
Castle National monument contains
100 acres of land, and is situated
three miles north of Camp Verde, in
Yavapai county. The castle is q true
cliff dwelling, and, in all probability
was used as a communal living house,
as there are many smaller houses
nearby. At least three different
stages of construction are noticeable
in the building. The castle is built
in cliff 80 feet above the ground and
80 feet below the top of the cliff. Good
substantial ladders are provided for
visitors to reach it. The number of
visitors has doubled each year for the
last three years. Roads and trails
have been cleaned out, side ladders
painted and some road signs installed.
Owing to the shortage of funds for
the protection Of monuments, the Gus
todian is only at the monument part
of the time, which does not give the
monument adequate protection. A reg
ular custodian is needed on the ground
at all times. New highways are be-
ing opened up, which will increase the
number Of visitors, also the necessity
for a regular custodian.
Martin l.. Jackson is the custodian
at present and makes his headquarters
near the castle. Through his good
work the Improvement in the trails
and general surroundings Of the cas-
tie are noticeable to those familiar
with this ruin Of scenic and ethnologic
interest.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

GLOBE WOMEN CARRY
BOOZE IN CARTERS

Fifteen persons are in Jail or under
bond at Miami and Globe following
raids made in Miami by a prohibition
squard from the Ell Paso office, ac-
cording to H. A. Hammons, agent in
charge.
5 The raids were made following a
report to w. d. Smith, division chief,
that liquor was being sold there op-
enly.
Women were carrying bottled liq-
uor in bosoms of their dresses and
under their garters, Mr.. Hammons
said. He employed a woman police
man who searched the women after a
roundup was made and obtained evl-
dence against them.
"a tub of water is kept handy IN
pool rooms and soft drink parlors
where LIQUOR is sold" said Mr.. HAM
mons. Liquor is kept in pitcher
and the minute a prohibition officer
is seen the pitcher is thrown into the
tub of water and the evidence de-
stroyed.
eve finally succeeded in getting the
violators by having man unknown to
the bartender take drink at an ap-
pointed time. The minute he saw US
enter the door he would seize the
pitcher. Even this system failed at
times.
"One man had a fruit jar on his
hin with a rubber tube connecting
from which he sold liquor.
Finger prints of one man who was
shadowing me were taken and COM
pared to those on q still. A finger
print expert will testify that they are
the same"
Aid from the county for widow
with five children, two of whom were
i'll with pneumonia, was obtained by
Mr.. Hammons. The woman was run
ming still in her house, it is alleged.
Her home was burned a short time ago
in fire starting from a still. Police
have destroyed stills in her home sew
eral times, Mr.. Hammons said.
Tex Montgomery was one Of the
men arrested. He got out of Jail Fri
day night, bought his automobile the
government had confiscated and Of
fered for sale at Phoenix Saturday
morning and was arrested, it is charg-
ed. with large pitcher of liquor IN
his hands at Miami Saturday night.
Max Spich was arrested on charge
of having six barrels of mash OF as
many different varieties and two bar
rels of wine in his possession.
Others arraigned at Globe, under
United States Commissioners j. r.
Hechtman and held under bonds rang
ing from $500 to $500 are: Charles
M. Carnes, Emmett McMurren, Pete
Puhara, George Bozovich, Richard
Swick, Mrs, Mary Swick, Gladys

Two stills were found without the
owners being identified.
