showed no disease and appeared
throughout the season more thrifty
and vigorous than other seed. Drought
conditions destroyed all crops finally,
so that decisive results this year are
lacking. A majority of the farmers
treated their potato seed with COR
rosive sublimate this year.
Oats-Eight demonstrations in con-
troll Of oat smut by the formaldehyde
treatment were conducted during the
spring with the result that no smut
appeared in fields seeded with treated
grain
Walnut Grafting-About so per
cent of the gratis made last year were
successful. One grower following the
demonstration grated Is of his own
trees with 80 per cent success. DEM
onstrations this year in walnut graft
ing were held at Cedar ranch at an
elevation of nearly 1000 feet. Success
is doubtful at this altitude, but some
of the CRAFTS are still living
Rodent Control - Fifteen method
demonstrations were established in ro-
dent control Two hundred fifteen
farmers and stockmen were given as
sistance. One area infested with
prairie dogs and another with gophers
were completely cleaned up. Everett
Mercer, comparatively employed by the
agricultural extnsion service and the
United States biological survey, CO.
operated in this work; 36,780 acres
were treated in the fight to extermin-
ate prairie dogs.
During September a party of five
men known as the Tusayan field party
started work in the forest around
Grand Canyon. Sixteen thousand
acres were covered using 3840 quarts
of grain. Stockmen of the vicinity
furnished saddle horses for this work
and otherwise cooperated.
Plans are under way for a drive to
clean up the forest land in Coconino
county next year with the agricultural
extension service, United States bio
logical survey, and the forest service,
cooperating.
Dairying Four new dairies began
operation this year. A trench silo
holding 100 tons was constructed as a

LIEUT.. WADE FIXES HIS NON
STOP CAR WHILE ON THE RUN

No stop yet, was the grim reply of
Lieut. Leigh Wade, round the world
flyer and principal in the nonstop
coast to coast automobile tour to the
questions Of newspapermen as he
drove through Albuquerque at two
miles an hour late Saturday afternoon
while assistants climbed over the ma
chine with gasoline containers, oil
cans and bottles of distilled water.
Wade said their nearest stop was
west of Phoenix, Ariz., where a tire
went flat but "we changed it on the
run" Pilots who were with Wade at
the time of the puncture explained
that by means Of a moving jack the.
tire was changed in 40 minutes while
the car was kept in motion.
Linton Wells, correspondent ac-
companying Wade on the trip. took
bath at a local hotel while Wade drove
the car through the city. Wells was
picked up by the pilot car and joined
the lieutenant north Of there.

demonstration. In cooperation with
the bureau Of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture, the
dairy cows Of the county were retested
following last years work and not one
reactor was found.
Poultry Practically no poultry
work had been done in the county I'M
til this year. Assistance in marketing
eggs at Williams aroused interest and
was followed by caponizing and GULL
ing demonstrations. The agent re-
ports more inquiries during this year
than in the last four years. One boys
and girls poultry club was organized
at Red Lake under the leadership of
the school teacher, Harry Shill. Of
the 10 members enrolled nine COM
pleted the work. The agent reports
that the influence of this club has
been very great in developing CO.
operative spirit in the community.

EXTENSION REPORT SHOWS
BIGGEST COUNTY is MAX
ING SPLENDID PROGRESS

Coconino county is the second larg-
est in the United States with an area
of more than $4,000 square miles. The
population is 10000 of which only a
part live in rural communities. But
the farm agent has organized the
work in five communities, making it
possible to reach the majority of the
people with the least possible travel.
The livestock business comprises by
far the greater part of the agricul-
tural enterprise. In capital invested
this. is about equally divided between
cattle and sheep.
T. A. Chisholm has been county
agent in the county since extension
work was inaugurated here in Au-
gust, 1919. Drought conditions have
made the years work especially diff
cult but progress lis reported as fol-
lows:
Head Lettuce-The demonstration
in growing head lettuce showed it
could be produced successfully with
irrigation but the dry land head let
tuce failed.
Cabbage Growing-One farmer was
assisted in growing cabbage on com
mercial scale without irrigation. Com
mon black beetles attacked this cab
bage when it was about 2 inches high,
but We're controlled few hours after
poisoned bran mash had been used as
bait.
Soils-Humus is the most import
ant factor in maintaining soil fertil-
ity. This fact has been emphasized in
all soils extension work. The use of
rye as green manure has been dem
onstrated thoroughly and it is now in
quite general use among the farmers
of the county.
Potatoes-The seed selection project
was continued from last year using
hill-selected seed from last years
crop. The hill-selected, treated seed

IMPROVEMENT
IN RANGE CONDITIONS

AS a result of recent rains on the
grazing areas of Arizona and western
New Mexico steady Improvement of
pastures and considerable improve
ment of stock is apparent. Moderate
to heavy showers occurred in western
New Mexico while light to moderate
amounts only occurred in eastern Ari-
zona and on the higher elevations.
Improvement Of both range and stock
is reported in the Holbrook section
where for many months conditions
have not ranged above fair. Poor
range and stock are still reported in
the Prescott section and stock con-
tinue poor in the Thatcher section al
though farm pastures and the range
are showing improvement. Range and
cattle continue to improve steadily in
southwestern New Mexico and south
eastern Arizona but in the latter sec
ti0n showers have been too light to
replenish water holes to any marked
extent. Numerous and copious show
ers in Santa Cruz county have inn
proved grazing conditions considerab-
". Pastures on both the north and
sout5 rims of the Grand Canyon are
in better condition than in many
months past and are reported good.
Water is ample in the Seligman sec
ton and stock reported fair.
High temperatures in southern Ari-
zona have been particularly helpful to
growing cotton and the cantaIoupe
crop. Dry weather has favored the
harvest of the latter and it is the gen
eral opinion that the fruit is the best
in many years. Cotton made excellent
progress during the week in all south
ern sections. Some shedding in the
Yuma section was reported but it is
thought that the plants are carrying
all they can advantageously. Owing
to good rains on the upper watershed
the flow of the Colorado river is suf-
ficient to exceed all demands for ir-
rigation.

HUNT WANTS TO KNOW THE
STATUS OF DIAMOND CREEK

The Diamond Creek permit is COM
ing up again. The application for a
final certificate from the federal
power commission will be heard some
time next September.
Information to this effect has been
laid before Governor Hunt by Frank
P. Trott, state water commissioner
Mr. Trott states that on May %, 1925,
the federal power commission reached
decision to take final action on the
Diamond Creek power site on the
Colorado river in Septembers At that
time, it is suggested, there viii be an
opportunity afforded to present any
new material with reference to grant
ing the permit. 1t is also pointed out
that the license asked for would be
granted unless reasons to the con-
trary, not now on record, are de-
yeloped.
Upon receipt of this information
from the water commissioner, Cover
nor Hunt took the matter up with
John w. Murphy, attorney general,
asking him as to the legal status of
the Diamond Creek permit at the
present time.
Governor Hunt is anxious to have
the matter remain in status quo until
such time as fuller information is
available as a result of the coopera-
tive survey to be made by the state
and the United States geological sur
yey.

 Reports from 'he Meriden camp state that the Mohawks will be in the best of shape, prepared to give the locals a royal reception on the diamond.

Either Tommy Blanchard or Hein will work for the Corhins and with either of these two finging them over, the game is bound 10 be an interesting one.
