important facts about the planting and
care of trees. Many of the accepted
practices in the eastern states must
be modified or discarded here. Broad

Selection of Species
Perhaps the most serious error of
Flagstaff tree planters has been in the
selection of species. Many of these
mistakes were inevitable and have
been remedied by experience. One
which has not been remedied is the
planting of quick-growing but short
hved species. | have reference to the
several varieties of poplar or cotton
wood which still predominant in our
planting. The average grower is de-
lighted by the quick growth of these
trees, but he does not realize that they
have to be replaced almost as often as
his house is repainted Members OF
the poplar family live to be fairly old
in bottom land, but under our condi-
tions their span of life is seldom more
than 10 to Is years. Such trees have
their place in a new community where
quick results are needed They har-
monize with the board walks and imi-
tation brick store fronts of the adoles-
cent country village, but they are out

2. Good soil preparation pays.
Some plants will live in our stiff clay
but Others will not. Trees, at least, do
best in loose, permeable soil.
3. Deep-rooted plants, such as
trees, shrubs and vines, require deep
watering. 1t is not sufficient to wet a
small spot right around the main
stem. The roots usually extend many
feet in all directions, and the water
should reach all Of them.

growing trees, shrubs and vines in
Flagstaff. The introduction of new
species, particularly, affords good
field. Within certain limits this re-
solves itself into matter of trial. In
all experimentation, however, the fol-
lowing may be accepted as proven
principles.
l. Trees or other plants which
have been allowed to become dry be-
fore planting are almost sure to fail.

COMMUNITY'S PROSPERITY
is DAIRY UDG E D

Prof. A. l.. Hacker of Lincoln,
Nebraska, noted dairy authority, has
recently given publicity to the fol-
lowing facts:
1.-The dairy industry is receiving
much attention. 1t las come thru
the recent agricultural depression
with flying colors. Dairy commun-
tiles are not complaining owe hard
times; in truth the prosperity of a
community can largely be determ-
ined by it's number of dairy cows.
The knowledge of this is bringing
forth much dairy agitation and we
now find statewide movements
aimed at increasing the volume of
dairy business.
There is little danger of over
production in the near future. We
are still an importing country so
far as dairy products are concerned.
In 1923 we imported over $4,000
900 worth of dairy products. Our
consumption of both milk and but
, 1924-07-30

ter is decidedly on the increase;
for example, we have increased our
butter consumption two pounds per
capita during the past three years
If We increase it two pounds more
during the next three it will rep
resent a vast amount of butter,
more than is now made in the states
of North Dakota, South Dakota, Ne
braska, Kansas. Oklahoma and
Texas. We are increasing our milk
consumption also; children are be-
taught to drink milk instead of tea
and coffee. All of this will help
consume the prospective increase of
our dairy products.
I'm u most prosperous dairy
regions the silo is universally used.
Wisconsin, our greatest dairy state,
has over 100 900 silos in use. Com
munities where dairying prospers
as a rule use the most economical
methods of feeding. Should this
country over produce and dairy pro-
ducts become more cheap, the man
who produces with economy will
survive. He will prosper while 9TH
ers fail. We must not use only the
silo but more legume hay, such as
the clovers and alfalfa. We must
feed our cows better and with bet
ter economy"

prosecuting attorney of Thermop-
oils, Hot Springs county. has been
postponed to Wednesday. August
27, according to announcement Sat
turday at the office of Governor
william b. Ross, where the hearing
will be held.
The postponement comes because
the Wyoming supreme court is pass
ing on the constitutionality of the
law which empowers the governor
to remove a public officer. The case
of Wyckoff was brought into the
district court of Laramie county
Friday when his attorney sought
to get an injunction restraining
Governor Ross from holding the
hearing. Judge William A. Riner
Immediately referred the matter to
the supreme court.
Wyckoff is charged with intoXica-
ton and neglect of duty, in a COM
plant filed with the governor by
NJ. C. Watchtell, commissioner of
law enforcement for Wyoming.
When the first action was filed.
the date for hearing was set for
July 18th. A new and amended
complaint was filed by Wachtell and
the hearing was put over to July
81. Since the matter has gone into
the supreme court the case has been
postponed again.

FLOWS PLENTY
OF WATER FOR ALL

The North Platte river runs
enough water to supply additional
large irrigable areas in Wyoming,
Nebraska and Colorado, and further
irrigation development in Wyoming
and Colorado need not be restricted,
according to Frank c. Emerson,
state engineer of Wyoming.
Emerson made this statement in
summarizing Wyoming's claims to
share in the water, in an address
before the closing session in Cas-
e of the hearing held by the
North Platte river commission. Mu-
tual agreement by the three states
involved and the federal government
on plans for future disposition of
the water was urged by the state
engineer rather than permit a con-
test in the courts.

The crumbling and decay Of many

partly due to the clay subsoil upon
which London rests. This Is compact
enough to transmit to foundations the
full destructive effects of traffic vibra-

subsequent movement. London got Its
clay in Eocene times long before any
of the present topography took shape.
The floods of the Ice age overlaid this
with wide areas Of gravel, upon which
earlier London arose and over which
It extended, as the gravel afforded an
easy water supply. Those parts where

Early JelDish Cemetery
Now Business Disfrict

On New Bowery, near Oliver street.
New York city, Is little Jewish cam
etery, said to be the oldest Jewish bur
ial ground in North America, says the
Detroit News. It once occupied what
is now Chatham square. The grant for
the graveyard was issued by Gov. Pc
ter StuyveSant In 1855. The first Jews
in America are supposed to have ar
rived September IL, 1854, on the bark
Catarlna, which brought n refugees
from Cape st. Anthony, Brazil.
The spot selected for the cemetery
was out among the sandhills, outside
Of the city. There was a range of hills,
at the foot of which was the present
site of Chatham square, and on the
crest of one Of these hills, facing east,
the cemetery was started. The location
was Ideal, overlooking the meadows
below the city to the south, with the
East river In the distance. When the
War of the Revolution came batteries
were planted In the body Of the GENE
terry and on Its hills. In 1855, 200
years after the opening Of the final
sleeping place among the hills, New
Bowery was cut through, and all that
was left of the cemetery was 57-foot
front on that thoroughfare.

INCREASING USE OF GAS

Demand for the securities OF gas
utilities is constantly increasing for
private investment. One of the prt-
mary reasons for the selection OF gaa
stocks is the outlook for constantly
increasing consumption of gas.
Some years ago it was regarded "a
certain that electricity would replace
gas as an illuminant, to the detri-
ment of gas companies. However,
such has not been the case. While
electricity has long ago replaced gas
to a great extent for lighting pur-
poses, yet consumption Of gas keeps
mounting because gas is replacing
coal as fuel in the home and In
industry. Tremendous increase In
the use of gas in the industrial world
is predicted for the next decade.
