BY many we have been charged with
being solely interested in Douglas, but
this is not the case. Our efforts in
the development of the sugar beet, the
Valencia onion and with broom corn,
as well as our efforts for better roads
and lower taxes have been with view
of betterment for the whole county.
That more was not accomplished with
these experiments in crops does not
justify the charge by some OF our
neighbors that we have no interest in
their betterrnent
We have fought some real battles
for better road conditions, as we'll as
lower taxes. The board Of directors
Of the chamber of commerce has ever
before it the desire to do something for
the city and it's surrounding country
and each and every member OF the
board is ready and willing at all times
to give unstintingly of their time and
money to advance any worthy project.
= From a personal viewpoint, as I see
our. needs, there are three lines OF ef-
fort, which if followed up in an ag-
gressive manner, will produce for
Douglas the things it most needs. we
should make some real effort toward
inviting more prospecting and develop
ment of small mining properties on all
sides Of us, development in the vicinity
of Paradise means much to this section
as does that to the south.
If we had some Is or 20 small prop
critics working in and around Douglas
even though they were making but
small shipments of ore, the revenue
produced from these shipments would
amount to a considerable amount OF
money all of which would be spent In
this city.
Along with this activity would come
the need for a lead treating plant in
Douglas, and I believe that the de-
velopment of the country in this way is
the only thing that will bring about
the installation of lead plant here
Small producers of copper do not have
much show, and had we some arrange
meIt whereby we could handle small
shipments of ores of all descriptions
paying the producer for such as ne
had, thereby permitting him to carry
on his work, he would keep going and
might open up something worth while

WE have two good hotels, and from

an additional 20 rooms at any time
they need to. Let's make them need
to.
There isn't one good reason against
advertising Douglas, and there are
thousands for it.
If you are one who believes, for any
reason whatever, that we can not adj

to say just word to you.

Later we helped on the onions. and
that also fizzled out 1t was a chance
all to gain and little to lose-and
we took it.
Beets and onions had not been tried
before. We know now, and at little
cost to any individual.
All over the world advertising has
been successful. Do you think that
Douglas will be the first failure? If
all of you do, it will, no doubt; but
we believe that there are enough peo-
pie in Douglas who have faith in the
thing, coupled with those who are
willing to SHOOT AT THE MOON,
for their homes sake, to put the thing
over.
If we can't put this over Call pull

magazines are an unnecessary drain
on the American public and Wrigley

If you haven't faith in your town,
leave it, and God bless you. If you
have, give it's boosters a helping
hand in putting this advertising over.

Henceforth and forever those two

two cities in Arizona; namely, Tucson

and the people of Douglas to follow
up with an advertising campaign that
will bring us untold good. The name

world, and all we need to do is to
keep it fresh in their minds.
The Borderland club has a fund OF
$4,000 pledged now, and many of the
most able people in Douglas haven't
pledged a dime.
Tucson has proved that the printed
word, when correctly used, has an
awful pull. Advertising has and is
paying them, and paying big, else they
would not continue.
Let's not let any obstacles stand in
our way. We all have our investments
here and there is only one way to ever
get one hundred cents on the dollar
out of them. We must advertise this
city to the world. Mrs. Mcpherson
has made our task much easier.
Somd raise the objection that we

Trees Need Thinning

Most trees need thinning, rather
than pruning, which means cutting off
many small limbs or twigs. On old,
sod-bound trees, pruning often re-
solves itself into matter CT main
tanning the balance between the feed
ing and fruiting parts of the tree.
Some farmers do this by excessive top
pruning, others do it by liberal feed
ing, either with nitrate in some form,
or with manure. Fifteen or twenty
cents worth of nitrate will give the
owner much more fruit, and better
fruit, than cutting branches out of
the top.

Indians Rejoice in
Extensive Seal Run

Indians on the west coast of Van
couver island reported an especially
large run of hair seals this season.
with much larger percentage cap
tured than in other years, says the
Los Angeles Times.
This year the Indians were taken
out in motor boats with their canoes
In tow. The motors were stopped
within short distance of the channel
for the seal run and the Indians, ac-
cording to the laws covering the talk
ing of seals, embarked in the canoes,
and with spears obtained as many seals
as possible.
Power boats and guns are not al
lowed to be used in the actual capture
of the seals. Some of the Indians use
cupboard motors ON their canoes, but
these were stopped some distance from
the run, as patrol boats watched the
seal hunt in order to be certain that
it was carried on according to law.

Ducklings Fattened for
Market Are ALWAYS Best

The ducklings to be marketed should
be fattened for two weeks before kill
ing on a ration made of three parts,
by weight, of corn meal, two parts of
low-grade flour or middlings, one part
of bran, one-half part Of beef scrap,
with 8 per cent grit and 10 per cent
green feed. Feed this mash three
times daily, or use mash of three
parts corn meal, one part low-grade
wheat flour, one part bran, per cent
beef scrap and per cent oyster shell,
with the green feed and grit added.
The green feed is sometimes left out
of the ration during the last seven
days of fattening, as it tends to color
the meat and may produce slightly
flabby rather than firm flesh; how
ever, 1t is easier to keep the ducklings
in good feeding condition on a mash
containing green feed.

Cultivating Often
Kills Early Weeds
All Seeds Need Moisture,
Air and Warmth.

The success or failure of crop Is
often determined by the preparation
Of the seed bed and the early cultiva-
ton. The beginning of proper culti-
walton is in the careful preparation
of the seed bed because it is hardly
possible to get the soil in proper con-
dition after the seed have been
planted.
Three things are necessary for the
termination and growth Of all Seed"
says G. R. Hudson of the farm dem
onstration division at North Caro-
lima State college. "These are mois-
ture, air and sufficient warmth.
The first two are secured through
good preparation Of the seed bed
while the warmth may be infiu-
enced by the same process. If the soil
has been gradually deepened year at
ter year by careful blowing, breaking
the land should always be followed
by narrowing or disking given, If pos
sible, within "a hours after the plow-
ing. Then the soil needs to settle so
that the seed bed will be hard after
which another narrowing is given to
re-establish the mulch"
Cultivation after the seed are plant
ed is not only to keep down weeds
and grass which would take up the
moisture and plant food and shade
the crop, but, also to keep the top soil
open to make more plant food avail
able and to give help in warming the
soil. Weeds are more difficult to Grad
icate after they have grown an inch
or two above the soil. Mr.. Hudson
urges the use of the weeder or harrow
Immediately after rains as one of the
most effectual and economical cult
vations that may be given.
Maintaining the soil mulch is one
of the important things during the
summer. If the soil crust is kept
loose, very little other cultivation is
needed.

Poultrymen Want
Standards Alike
Ask Immediate Steps to At
ford Federal Recognition
and Protection.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Poultrymen representing the "ac-
creditation and certitication' move
ment in the Middle West met recent
ly in Chicago, where they passed reso-
buttons requesting the United States
Department of Agriculture to take
immediate steps to afford federal rec
ogition and protection to the work
now being carried on in the different
states under the general terms of the
Manhattan PLAN"
Manhattan Plan.
The Manhattan plan was adopted
last summer at national conference
at Manhattan, Kans. In accordance
with this plan, uniform rules and
regulations governing the accredita-
ton and certification Of breeding
fiocks, baby chicks, and commercial
hatcheries are being established in all
states. In the past there has been a
great difference in the standards to
be met by poultrymen in the various
states before their flocks and hatch
cries were eligible for generalization or
certification. This not only served to
retard the progress of the industry,
but 1t unfairly shielded some poultry
men in the states having less, stringent
rules than Others. The public has
come to regard the words accredited"
and certified" as indicative of su-
perior quality, but due to lack Of fed
eral or state supervision many fiocks
and hatcheries were advertised falsely
as being "accredfted' or Certified"
Urge Cooperation.
1t was also resolved at the meeting
to request poultry and farm journals
to cooperate in the campaign against
misleading advertising by breeders
and commercial hatcheries that had
not met the state requirements for
certification and accreditation.
"The department is thoroughly in
sympathy with the movement for uni
form state requirements" says DR.. M.
A. JUL, in charge of poultry investi-
cations for the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, "but can only
lend its moral and advisory support at
present, as no funds are available to
enable the organization of an inspec-
ton service to cooperate with. the
states in establishing uniform accredi-
tation and certification in the United
States"
