The Winslow mail., 1926-10-29
.CHAS. .DAZE RECORD
HERE SHOWS MANY
YEARS OF SERVICE

When the heavy presses and type
setting machines that are to be a
part in the new Winslow Mail shops
have been put in place they will
have taken q ride, before their
placing, in the trucks of a man who
is truly a pioneer in Winslow, in a
point of years of residence and OF
business service, Charles Daze, Of
the Wfnslow Feed and Sales Sta
bles.
Mr.. Daze has been in the same
business, in the same block, and
except for the past few weeks, in
the same building, for more than
10 years. His residence here dates
back farther than than, to 1892,
when he was employed on the
Santa Fe railroad.
In 1882 the city Of Winslow pre-
sented quite different appearance
from the Winslow Of 1926. Three
stores made up the business dist
rict, and a clerk in one OF these
stores, William H. Dagg, was to be-
come some day one of the towns
foremost merchants.
Mr.. Dagg was a clerk in the es-
tablishment of Cass & Tuff, and the
man who was later to go in busi-
ness with him under the firm name
of Rand & Dagg was clerking in
the Front street store of one Breed.
The only other store was op-
Grated under the name of Lesser d
Sawyer. This Sawyer, whose ini-
tials are E. A., is now one of north
ern Arizona's best known sheep
men, and his headquarters are still
in WinslOw.
Starting in the transfer business
10 years ago, Mr.. Daze's main busl-
ness was in the renting of livery
rigs. Automobiles at that time
were a rarity of the same class as
purple elephants, and when seen,
engendered the same feeling Of dis
belief in ones seeing apparatus.
The young bucks Of Winslow and
their respective damsels, however
were always willing and anxious
| to ride behind fast stepping horse
and the more solid and respectable
looked with scorn upon the snort
ing, stinking horseless carriages
so the livery business did we'll for
some years.
In those days it was the custom
for the young folks and old folks
who had no horse and buggy, but
who had the price of rental, to at
tire themselves in their Sunday
habiliments of old-family-albun
mold, and to scatter the dust with
a spider like phaeton or fringe
topped surrey in the wake of what
was to them the only dependable
mode of locomotion, the horse.
Mr.. Daze has seen that type o1

Acid Phosphate Speeds
Up Tomato Crop Growth

1t has been found by the New
Hampshire experiment station that
acid phosphate speeds up the tomato
crop materially, and makes it posi-
BILE to beat the frost. They have used
from five hundred pounds to fifteen
hundred pounds of acid phosphate to
the acre, in addition to twenty tons
of manure, and the acid phosphate has
advanced the peak of the crop better
than manure alone. or other chemical
fertilizers. According to the reports
the bulk of the crop has matured from
one to two weeks earlier on the acid
phosphate plot.
Apparently the acid phosphate
causes rapid early growth, and as a
result of this a much larger number
of blossom clusters, blossoms, and
fruit is produced early. There is ap-
parently no difference in the rapidity
of the development of the fruit from
the time the blossoms are formed un-
til ripening occurs, but the fact that
there is blossom in abundance from a
week to two weeks earlier is sufficient
to enable the grower to get the ma
jority of the tomatoes off the vines
before frost.
1t will not cost much to treat some
of your tomatoes with the acid phos-
phate, and it might work out to great
advantage.

Spraying Trees in
Bloom Harms Bees
Little Insects Necessary for
Pollination.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuiture.)
When spraying fruit trees, care
should be taken to do the work at a
time when there is the least danger Of
poisoning the honeybees which visit
the blossoms and which are very nee
essaIy for the pollination of the flow
ers, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Spraying fruit
trees while in full bloom with arseni-
calls is particularly injurious to bees,
according to tests which have been
completed recently by the bureau of
entomology.
Of course the beekeeper does not
want his bees poisoned says the de-
partment, because as a result his
honey crop is reduced. The subject
should be of even more interest, how
ever, to fruit growers because with
the loss of the honeybees they lose
the most effective means of pollina-
ton in their orchards. In this re-
spect the beekeeper, the fruit grower,
and in fact everyone is benefited by
honeybees.
The effect Of arsenical sprays on the
mortality of honeybees has long been
debated, but only a few systematic In
vestigations have been made to aid in
settling the dispute. In the hope Of
answering definitely some of the ques-
tons so long debated, these tests were
conducted. While they are limited In
their scope, they do enable the depart
ment to make some recommendations.
Spraying apple trees during full
bloom is not recommended because
the codling moth can be as well con.
trolled by spraying when 80 per cent
of the petals have fallen, and because
spraying when the trees are in bloom
is injurious to insect pollinators.

Hogging Off Field Peas
and Corn Is Profitable

Hogging-off trials resulted in returns
of $1S.65 per acre from Canadian field
peas and $37.76 per acre from corn
last year at the Edgeley substation,
according to a report made by Super.
intendent o. A. Thompson to P. F..
Trowbridge, director of the North Da-
kota experiment station. The return
was considered especially good in view
of the fact that the field peas were
badly damaged by unfavorable wealth
er during May and June.
The average daily gain per hog for
129 hogs was 1.16 pounds on the peas,
500 acres furnishing pasture for eight
days. The hogs were then turned in
a ten-acre corn field, where they made
daily average gain Of IT pounds
each for II days. The value of the
gains was computed at 10 cents per
pound.

Poison Bran Best Remedy
for, CutWorm Invasion

Cutworms come more or less
periodically and they should not be
confused with the army worm which
appears much less frequently. The
army worm works both day and night
while the cutworms do their work at
night. When cutworms are abundant
the poison bran is the best remedy.
1t is made of bran with enough mo-
lasses to make it palatable to the
cutworms. and the two mixed with
paris green. The bran maybe sprinkled
along the plants and it is the cheap
est and most effectual remedy. There
is no reason to fear another attack
next year on the same ground, al
though there are likely to be some. If
they do appear when carrots and beets
are up, then use the poison bran. The
larvae or worms do not lay eggs as
this is done in the moth or miller
stage of the insects life. If the pupae
are numerous and they can be de-
stroyed in some way that would help
lessen the danger next year. If they
march in numbers at night dig
a trench along the plants to be safe
guarded and put poison bran in the
trench where they will eat it and die
in droves.

important Place
for Legune Crop
Do Not Improve Soil Unless
Many Conditions Are
First Right.

Legumes have had an important
place in crop production for many
centuries. No doubt one Of the chief
reasons for the great popularity Of
this class Of crops is the fact that
under suitable conditions they may
have a very desirable influence upon
the crops which follow them. The in
creased corn yields following the use
Of clover crop as green manure
testify to the worth of legumes for
soil-building purposes.
Soil improvement.
The idea of soil improvement is so
frequently associated with the term
legume that one often overlooks the
fact that all legumes are not equally
effective for this purpose, according
to O. H. Sears, assistant chief Of soil
biology at the college of agriculture,
University of Illinois. AS matter OF
fact, legumes not only differ in their
ability to improve crop yields, but
they may at times even have a tend
ency to lower the fertility of the soil.
The extent to which legumes are val
liable in soil Improvement will depend
upon q great many conditions. One
Of these conditions is incubation.
Legumes are considered soil-build-
ing crops primarily because they have
access to atmospheric nitrogen, pro-
vided their roots are well supplied
with nitrogen gathering bacteria liv-
ing within the nodules on the roots OF
the plants. Such plants are said to
be inoculated. Inoculated legumes
thus may secure their nitrogen from
the inexhaustible supply of the air.
II not inoculated, however, legumes.
like other kinds Of plants, must de-
pend upon the soil for their nitrogen
as well ais their mineral requirements,
and since they are heavy feeders upon
nitrogen and other plant-food ele-
ments. they may be the most effec-
tive miners of soil fertility grown
on the farm. To function as soil
building crops, legumes must, there
fore. be inoculated.
Benefits Derived.
The method of utilizing the crop is
another important factor in determin-
ing the benefit to be derived from the
growing of leguminOus crop. Under
the best conditions, even inOculated
legumes secure only a part of their
nitrogen requirements from the air.
Approximately third of the nitrogen
found in the legume plants comes
from the soil. 1t is apparent, there
fore, that the soil content of this inn
portant element can be increased only
by returning portion Of the plant to
the soil in the form of roots, Stubble,
residues, and as green or stable ma
npre. A larger proportion Of the tops
must be returned in the case of some
legumes than is necessary with others.
Nine-tenths of the sOy-bean plant is
contained within the tops, while about
one-half the alfalfa plant is below
the ground. Thus. removing the
whole soy-bean crop and returning
nothing in the way Of manure or
threshed straw would tend to deplete
the soil, even though the plants were
inoculated, whereas the removal of a
crop of alfalfa would have much
less serious effect. Soil improvement
can be accomplished therefore by re-
turning a major portion Of inoculated
legumes to the soil in one form or
another.

Business and Financial Conditions
in the United States

The moderate decline in domestic

company of New York.
The most conspicuous instances Of
this tendency in. basic industrial OPP

manufacture also have failed to main

In wholesale and retail distribution
the trend has been rather irregular.
Retail trade has suffered severely in
some sections from cold and stormy
weather. Trade at wholesale has con-
tinued largely on a hand-tO-mOuth
basis, this feature being emphasized
by the rather consistent decline in
commodity price levels during the last
few months and the natural unwill-

commitments in failing markets. In

Current Recession Not Severe.
The downward movement Of activ-
~, however, while distinctly visible,
is by 10 means alarming. 1t is evil
dent that no general depression y
lists, and present conditions fully war
rant the belief that none is in pros
pect. In the vast majority of indus
trial and commercial lines the present
rate Of activity compares favorably
with that Of a year ago. It is doubt
full whether the current recession is,
on the whole, any more pronounced
than the similar movement in the
spring Of 1925. A comparison indeed
seems to indicate that business in gen.
eral registers above the 1925 level.
The financial situation remains
highly -reassuring. Further decreases
in the volume of loans for speculative
purposes have been reflected in money
rates. The present level of rates on
commercial loans is barely a per
cent above that of a year ago, and
is lower than the peak Of last October
by about the same margin.
With a continuance Of easy money
and normal crops, and provided, Of
course, that peace prevails in Europe,
the outlook is for reasonably prosper
Gus business conditions for the bal
ance CT the year.
A distinct tendency toward greater
firmness in commodity prices has APP
peared in recent weeks. This upturn
in the price level, while not marked,
is at least in sharp contrast to the al
most continuous downward movement
of recent months.
Declines in Industrial Output
After a steady but not exceptional
{ly rapid decline of several weeks dur
i%ation, activity in the iron and steel
industry has become stabilized, fol-
the time being at least, at about sc
| per cent Of capacity. Last months
5 operations represented about SO pei
5 cent, with an average output Of 158,
613 tons a day. This compares with
1926 tons in March, the record fol
the industry, and 1884 tons II
April, 1925. Evidently, therefore, tho
