ARIZONA GRAPE :.
WEEK IS SET
FOR JULY 1924

Arizona is producing it's largest
and best crop of grapes this month
and Arizona is going to be asked
to eat it, through an Arizona
Grape Week" to be observed July
19 to "a.
This announcement was forth
coming in a letter received by the
Commercial Club from the Arizona
Industrial Congress, inviting it to
join in developing public observ-
ance of grape week" and in ask
ing local merchants to feature Ari-
zona grapes during that period.
Arizona will produce 100000
pounds of choice table grapes this
summer, the crop arriving on the
market now, the letter states. This
figures only ten pounds to each
resident of the state, for the entire
season, and inasmuch as Arizona
probably consumes considerably
over that amount of grapes every
summer, there is no reason why
the Arizona crop should be shipped
out while other grapes are shipped
in. AS an indication of their high
quality, it is mentioned that Ari-
zona grapes are bringing the high
est prices on the New York market
at this time, early shipments bring
ing price that would mean 20 to
70 cents pound as the cost to the
consumer, far above the price for
which they can be had here.
The invitation adds that grapes
are grown in most sections of the
state, though principal commercial
acreage is in Yuma, Pinal and Mar
icopa counties, and that home pro-
ducts of course should receive the
preference. A majority of whole
salers have pledged their support
to the movement to create states
markets for the Arizona crop.
Incidentally, Arizona grapes are
on the market now, and will be for
several weeks. So Arizonans need
not confine their efforts to the one
week, they can have Arizona grapes
throughout the season, and un-
doubtedly will, once they've tried
them.
A number of recipes for use of
Arizona grapes in jelly, preserves,
grape juice, butter, desserts and
the like also have been furnished
for interest of housewives.

TUCSON MINER
HAS VERY RICH
SILVER STRIKE

TUCSON - For 80 years Charlie
Taylor has sought the rainbow's
end-and he has found the treasure
right at home.
Instead of being a ''pot of gold"
the treasure has been many pots of
silver. And he is still scooping
them out by the shovelful, out at
the "mine with the silver door" j"
north of Indian oasis, 60 miles west
of Tucson, where the silver ore is
among the richest in the southwest.
Charles M. Taylor, of Tucson, has
mined in the hottest and in the
coolest spots of the globe. He has
welded the pickaxe in Death Val
ley with 120 degrees of sunshine
pouring down on his back, and he
has worked in Alaska, in 65 degrees
below. He has dug dirt below sea
level, in Death Valley, and made

Minor Planet Far AuUay

The naval observatory says the mi
nor planet Egeria Is about 239,000,-
600 miles from the sun, and the earth
is about 100000 miles from the sun.
II the orbits of both planets were cir
cular and in the same plane the max
imum and minimum distances between
the earth and Egeria would be re-
spectively the sum and the difference
of these two figures; but as the orbits
are not exact circles and are inclined
to each other at an angle of 16 or IL
degrees, an exact calculation of the
maximum and minimum distances be-
tween the two planets would be some
what laborious.

Ants Hold Converse
OUer the Telephone

A scientist claims to have discov-
cred that ants are able to talk to
each other on the telephone.
Professor Boiler of the psychological
institution, Berlin, placed two ants,
a male and female, at each end Of
a telephone, and the female instantly
responded to the call of the male.
The experiment was made to discov-
er the auditory power of ants. A
particularly affectiOnate pair were
chosen, the male being taken to
house FIVE miles from the professors
laboratory.
One Of Doctor Rohler's assistants
placed the male ant near the tele-
phone, while the female at the other
end of the line was left free to wan
der about at will. When the call
from the male came through, the fe-
male Immediately responded, and the
excited male was prevented with diff
ficulty from pressing his suit in a
way that would have endangered his
life. Evidently he imagined that the
object Of his passion was in reach,
within the mechanism of the tele-
phone.
Darwin declared that the brain of
an ant is one of the most marvellous
atoms of matter in the world-per-
haps more marvellous than the brain
of a man. Ants can hear sounds and
see light, for which the ears and eyes
of man are not fitted, and they have
wonderful means of communicating
with one another.
