Senator Mulford Winson, of Yuma
president of the Senate in the last
State Legislature, gave an address
on the Colorado River Compact to a
small but deeply interested audien-
ce, at Maccabee Hall on Tuesday
evening. The small number present
was due to the fact that it was not
known that the Senator would speak
until late in the afternoon. Some
handbills were hastily printed and
distributed but the time was too
short for the announcement to get
to all the people and doubtless many
who got the news had already made
arrangements for the evening that
prevented them from attending.
The Senator had been to the Grand
Canyon and came over to Flagstaff
to give an address on Tuesday at
noon. Senator Moore and others,
hearing of this, got busy and induc-
ed him to come over to Winslow for
an address that evening. 1t is too
bad that this coming could not have
been known sooner and the announ-
cement given wide publicity and a
big crown gotten out to hear him.
The subject of his address is of vital
interest to every citizen of Arizona,
and there is no man in the State
better qualified to speak on the sub
ject than Senator Winsor He has
stalking study. He has been in touch
with national leaders on the matter
and is able to speak with some auth
ority upon the question.
Senator WinsOn is in favor of ra-
al Il o<7f
as formulated at Santa Fe without
reservations or amendments, and is
able to tell clearly and forcefully
why he is in favor of it. His address
was clear-cut and right to the point
He did not waste a single word or
sentence. In beginning his address
he expressed his pleasure in having
had Senator Moore as colleague in
the legislature, and that while they
did not always agree, they were in
hearty accord on the Colorado River
Compact.
He said that the Compact will ac-
complish the purposes for which it
was intended, and that these purpo
ses were set forth in the Compact.
He then proceeded to read these pur
posted from copy of the Compact,
Summed up, he said they meant:
"The expeditions development of the
Colorado River basin"
Surely" said he, mo one opposes
the purposes as set forth in the Com
pact" He then reiterated the pur-
poses as set forth in the Compact as
the things no one surely opposed,
such as the allotment of the waters
for agriculture, the production of
electric power etc.
He said there was a legal phase
also that must be taken into consi-
deration 1t is a national matter in
which the states may and should par
ticipate It is a question that no
single state can settle alore for
other states have rights an inter
ests to be conserved-and owe all
it is national matter Natior i ques
tions require the action of ongress.
Large sums of money must appro-
priated to carry out the F. 0jects of
such undertakings.

new ACCOUNTING
SYSTEM ADOPTED
FOR THE SCHOOLS

A new accounting system has been
adopted for the public schools of the
State by the Board of Education in
order, as Governor Hunt says, that
the schools may be administered in
a business-like and more economical
way. In letter to the County Sup
erintendents of the several counties
the Governor says: "The time has
arrived when our school system
should be looked upon as the most
important business enterprise in
which the State is engaged. While
it is essential that every dollar nee
essary to provide for the education
OF our citizens should be appropriate
ed from the public moneys. (This
is a quotation from his message to
the Legislature), yet the increasing
tax burden, of which over fifty per
cent is spent for education, is be-
coming SO heavy that our citizens
are finding it impossible to endure
It is therefore imperative that our
schools be administered in a busi-
ness-like manner in order that the
leaks and waste may be eliminated
The Governor calls attention to a
further statement of his message
which reads as follows: "a uniform
system of accounting should be per-
fected and the supplies of each dis
trict accounted for in manner
which would tend to promote great
er efficiency and economy"
Acting under these suggestions,
says the Governor, "a uniform ac-

and 1921 when prices for lambs and
wool slumped. Before the war fifty
millions of sheep were maintained
in the United States. This number
has dwindled to thirty five millions.
AS a result we are short on both
lambs and wool, and if wages remain
high the sheep business should be
profitable for at least three years,
another uncertain factor is the con-
dition of the ranges for drouths and
high feed bills wipe out profits.

counting system has been devised by
the State Board of Education, and
the necessary books, blanks and
forms are bing forwarded to you by
Mr.. Alma Davis, Director of Educa-
ton"
The Governor calls attention to
the State law which empowers the
Board of Education to pass such le-
gislation so long as it conforms to
the general law. He asks for the
hearty cooperation of the Superin-
tendents in putting the new system
of accounting into operation.
No doubt this is a good and wise
move on the part of the Board of
Education Any system that will
conserve the tax money of the State
and at the same time give to our
public schools the necessary funds
to do efficient work is a benefit we
ought all to appreciate. We hope
our Superintendents and schools will
respond to the appeal of Governor
Hunt and help to carry out the pro-
visions of this law.

CREAM CHECKS HAVE
NEARLY DOUBLED

The Askov creamery has near
ly doubled its business in the
first five months of 1923 over the
first five months of 1922. The
total paid out to patrons in cash
exclusive of what they re-

$31,919.03 for the first 5 months
of 1922 and for the similar per-
iod of 1923 the total was $780,

This is a fine record and shows
more and more that the people
of this community recognize the
creamery as the best paying pro-
position here and it is the one in
stitution which gives a sure de-
pendable income the year around.
The total amounts paid to pa
irons in cash each of the five
months during the two years is

STORM WRECKS
MANY BUILDINGS

Blown Over Sunday
Beneficial Rain.

Until two or three years ago
cyclones, tornadoes, heavy wind
storms and the like were unheard
of up here in the northern part
of the state but heavy storms
seem to be on the increase now.
The storm Sunday afternoon
which was general over the en-
tire state and other places in
the Northwest. did considerable
damage in Pine county. In the
vicinity Of Askov a few barns
were demolished. one house
moved and many trees uprooted.
Telephone service was impaired
for two days. The barns Of Jens
Arnbal and ID Hansen were both
twisted out Of shape and ma
chine shed of Wayne e. Jacob
sens was blown over. Carl
Thinesen's house, south Of town.
was moved off the foundation by
the terrific wind and in the
shake-up furniture and dishes
were broken. Mrs. Thinesen was
also hurt but not seriously. The
barn Of Carl E. Sorensen's was
badly smashed and Julius Ped
ersen's barn was partly wrecked
but the cattle therein suffered
no damage. Lightning struck
and did slight damage to the res
idence Of c. L. Wosgaard.
About twenty barns and other
buildings were blown over near
Hinckley.
From the Finlayson neighbor-
hood comes the following re-
port:
The storm Sunday afternoon
did considerable damage in Fin

James Slaven farm. Besides
that it wrecked many other
buildings and did damage
to other property. Crops. how
ever, were not hurt, but much

Ask0v Farmers Making
Good Headway With
Chickens.

About two or three years ago
effort was commenced toward
making the egg industry a more
important factor in the Askov
vicinity and the result shows that
the effort has not been in vain
as the receipts from eggs is now
nearly one-third Of the revenue
received via the dairy COW route.
The total receipts through eggs
shipped from Askov from Jan.
1 to June /, 1923, through the
local merchants is $18,213.86.
These were practically all guar
anteed eggs. There has also
been some revenue through the
sale of chickens and if the value
of the thousands of small chicks
on the farms now were also
added the total receipts from the
chicken and egg industry would
to be about half that
received through cream checks
in this community during the
first FIVE months Of the year.

be given good care-pnctuality

not hard and they add consider

the barberry bush as the cause
for the epidemics of rust. So the

had bought a new Jordan from
them in 1917. and considered il
one of the best cars to be had.
Mr.. Cunningham had implicit
confidence in the state agents
and accepted their representa-
tions without question, simply
drove the Buick down, paid them
and drove the Jordan back to
Sturgeon Lake. AS a matter of
fact, they sold him a 1920 rebuilt
car.
The company was sued for
fraud in sale of the car and the
jury returned a verdict in Mr..
Cunningham's favor for $1,000.

ed most astonishing and unbe-
lievable acts on the part Of the
defendants to make the car APP

The car was in a wreck about
two years ago which was caused
by a defective steering appara.

will have to defend suits of the

dTDeTTy DuSn, WHICH loidticiiy
was favorite ornamental plant,
was designated as vampire and
it is doomed to extinction.
What is the relation Of black
stem rust and the Burberry!
Many organisms existing in the
world are known as heteroclitous
organisms, that is, they are para
sites on more than one kind of
plant. We know that certain
kinds of tape worms attacking
man must live for a time on cats,
likewise certain plaques in the
Orient are carried by rats. So it
is with black stem rust. 1t must
have the Common Burberry in
order to complete a life cicle. 1t
cannot skip hosts in this climate
for all red spores that causes the
red rust on wheat are killed by
the frost. These red spores
change to black spores in the fall
and in the spring they terminate
and produce other spores that at
tack the barberry bush. On the
under side of the leaves of the
common barberry there are FORM
ed cup shaped bodies in which are
produced the red spore that at
tack the wheat. Black spores
cannot infect the wheat plant, so
it can be seen that the barberry
bush is needed to establish black
stem rust in the spring.
Why should we eradicate bar
berry where no wheat is grown!
Dust particles can be carried in
the air for long distances. Rust
spores are smaller than dust
particles. The spore produced on
barberries are so small that
5000 laid side by side would
measure only little over an
inch. Because they are so small
it can be seen that they will be
carried a long distance by wind
and when each bush will produce
about 5000 leaves, each leaf %
to so cups and each cup 10000 to
$4,000 spores in a season the
number of spores produced is al
most uncomprehensible. Spores
in Pine county could easily start
a rust epidemic so to 100 miles
away and by harvest time the in
lection could be 200 to 300 miles
away.
Does the sun and foggy wet
weather cause rust! Indirectly it
does, but no more than it causes
weeds in the corn field. Sultry,
wet weather is ideal for the
growth of rust, for rust is plant
as much as an angle worm is an
animal. Many farmers think
that weather causes rust for they
have observed that rust was
abundant whenever weather was
sultry and damp. They are cor
rect in that observation, but the
rust had to start from some
place, and there is where the
campfire comes in.
What can we do about it!
Learn to know the bush, watch
for it among nursery paintings
and destroy it when it is found.
DO not destroy the Japanese bar
berry for it is harmless. Only
the common barberry is con-
demned. With cooperation of
farmers and business men, Min
nesota will be the first of Is
Northwest states to complete
eradication. Denmark outlawed
the vampire in 1903. They have
had no severe rust epidemic
since. What Denmark has done,
we can do
