sAFFORD. ARIZONA

Stafford, ARIZONA
The first oil well to be drilled in
the Gila valley will be spudded in
about May first according to an an
nOuncement made in Stafford Wednes-
day morning by VIM. j. Vaughan of
New York City and Carl A. Fuller of
Chicago, representing eastern capital,
who have been in Stafford for several
days.
Mr.. Vaughan was accompanied by
an expert driller, ]. Fred Carey, who
has successfully drilled many of the
great producing wells in the oil fields
in Texas, will have active charge of
the drilling operations. Much of the
preliminary work for beginning active
operations has been completed and
material, equipment and supplies are
now on the way and construction on
the oil derrick will be started at once.
While the exact location of this we'll
has not been decided upon, it is stated
by those interested, it will probably
be in the vicinity of Pima.
Active operations on another loca-
tion near Ashurst will be started at
once, it was announced by Mr.
Vaughan, as equipments will be ship
ped in Immediately. This will be fl
nanced by H. c. Wheeler of Boston,
w. w Todd and W. A. Leet of New
York City, R. S. Chapman of Detroit,
Michigan, M. c. Trumbull and others.
For many years it has been the be-
lief of many that oil in commercial
quantities was to be found in Graham
county and recent Investigations by
geologists have confirmed this belief
to the extent that men who have had
experience in the oil game in other
sections of the country have become
interested in the showings to be
found here and are entering the field
confident that all that is needed to
develop a great oil field is faith, CAPT
tai and the sinking of wells.

the same time Generally show a
bloody discharge, lose weight, refuse
to eat, and die. A post mortem ex-
animation shows the cecae distended

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the feed Civ
ing but little bran for a few days.
Give sour milk to drink Give epson
salts at the rate of 1 pound to 400
pounds of chickens. Give powdered
catechu at the rate of 1-3 teaspoon
full per gallon of water Continue for
several days.
The coccidia live for long periods
of time in the soil, so rotate the runs
and plow up ground where chickens
have been raised. Strong disinfec-
tants are needed to kill this organ
ism and 10 per cent solution of
compound cresol is recommended in
this case.

Spudded In May |

representative, Mr.. Vaughan. WedneS-
day stated that he had become in
terested in oil prospects in the ella
valley through the tests made by
w. c. Trumbull with his oil affinity
instrument. A thorough investigation
of the field in Graham county was
made by Mr.. Trumbull and H. T.
Proctor who is associated vii. Mr..
Trumbull, and the readings of the
instrument proved to him beyond a
doubt of the existance of oil here, the
strongest indications being shown in
the vicinity of Pima and Ashurst
Mr. Vaughan, who has had a wide
experience in the oil drilling business,
and who drilled the first well in the
famous oil field in Howard, Loving
county, Texas, became interested in
this section through the investigations
and findings of Mr. Trumbull, and it
was upon his advice that he came
here.
In his work in the Texas field, Mr..
Carey has been his driller and is
thoroughly familiar with oil opera
tiOnS.
Headquarters of the company will
be in Stafford, and Mr. Vaughan will
be represented by his brother, ]. L.
Vaughan, who with his family will
arrive in few days to take active
charge Of the work. Stafford will also
be the headquarters of the other COM
pany.
The company will be financed en-
tirely by it's own capital and no stock
will be offered for sale.
Stafford and Graham county are to
be congratulated that two different
groups of oil men capitalists are both
ready to ship in, standard equipment,
and start drilling at once within five
miles Of each other-and as stated,
they are drilling these wells to depth
of 1000 feet if necessary on their
own capital anu not cent of stock
will be offered to the public.

IN THE WORLD OF SPORT
RUTH, SPENDER STARS FOOLlNG THE SCRIBES
BY PHILIP MARTIN

WHILE all this talk is going on
about Babe Ruth's salary a
fine story is buried. It is not how
much dough the Babe is receiving
its how much he spent. Early
in his career with the Yankees he
received $4,000 for a vaudeville
tour, real money, too. He spent
it all and 100000 more that win
ter. After making approximately
100000 in one season he was
obliged to borrow money from the
Yankee officials to go south on
the next spring.
Ball players are noted as a
thrifty tribe. Not so George Her.
man.
DABE was an odd character from
II the start He began as a
pitcher for the Red Sox. Brick"
Owens was behind the plate. Babe
eased one over.
''Ball one!" chirped Brick"
eff you call another one like
that said Ruth quietly, I'm
gonna punch you right smack on
the nose.'
He threw another.
''Ball two!" barked Brick"
Babe laconically tossed his
glove away with his left hand,
shrugged his shoulders sadly,
walked up to Brick and pasted
him, as per agreement. right on
the snoot.
GPORTS editors, always more or
~ less gullible, are. beginning to
get their dogs on the terra firma
again. Most of them have become
downright cynics since the late
lamented Dempsey-Tunney thing
at Philly Few ever talk in super
latives about the ravishing merits
of such and such an alleged fight
er. The awful odor that Charlie
Phil Rosenberg trailed in his wake
has sickened even the noted Polly
annas of the Press. Tunney. Ma
1oney, Paolino and McTigue scored
victories and shortly after picked
up the sports pages only to read
neat little accounts in which the
words "bum, tramp, terrible. me-
diocre, cheesy" were used very,
very cleverly.
SMALL towns still furnish the
~ majority Of major league base
ball stars. There are a few col
lege heroes scampering around the
bases but the little burgs are
looked to for material. Kids in
the city don't seem to go in the
old sport any more. They play a
lot of golf on the municipal
courses, swim, ride-do every
thing, it seems, but choose up

this is an excellent illustration of the
rapid progress the state is making.
"The 1925 agricultural production
included 10000 bales Of cotton, 640,-
900 tons of hay, 4,600,0UO bushels of
grains and grain sorghums, figuring
the latter in grain yield equivalent,
about 400 cars of citrus fruits, and
approximately 10000 cars of fruits and
vegetables, principally cantaloupes
and lettuce. Arizona ranked first or
all lne states in the average pro-
duction per acre of wheat, alfalfa
all hay, sweet potatoes, grain sor-
ghums and cantaloupes, and second in
cotton and lettuce, and ranked first
in the average value per acre or
oats, sweet potatoes, alfalfa, all hay,
and second in cotton, barley and
wheat
"1 ne new growing season has open
ed with favorable crop conditions
Alfalfa and grains, both of increased
acreage, have made excellent growth,
and the spring lettuce crop is now
moving to market. 1t is expected
shipments this month and next will
materially exceed the winter total OF
$500 cars, which did not include seve-
eral hundred cars from Yuma and
Casa Grande valleys. Cotton acreagel
is smaller tnan last year, wl,-- larg-|
er proportion OF Pima long staple
planted, and a pronounced interest,"
is shown in the revival of dairying.
"The livestock industry has been
favored by good range conditions,
which were further improved by theN
rains of last month Contracting OF
cattle for spring delivery has started
at prices above those of a year ago
and the lamb market has advanced
in recent weeks, though the wool mar
ket remains rather slow. Last year
$4,000 cattle were shipped to out
side markets in addition to o9,OOq
slaughtered here, representing con
servative value of $12,500,0O0 while
lamb shipments aggregated about 3OO,-
900, worth $2,100,000. The wool cliI
amounted to 6.500000 pounds, wortl
$2,15O,O00, and the goat industry pro
duced 100000 pounds of mohalr.
"There has been little change in th3
mining industry Development OF new
properties continues very active, an
several have begun production fol
lowing completion of milling plants
The copper and silver markets hav
not been favorable, but operations
the large producers have continue

For 1927.

HOENIX-Business conditions in
Arizona are described as generally
favorable in a report on the Arizona
situation presented to the Pacific
Coast Transportation Advisory Board
at it's meeting here Friday, March 18,
by P. G. Spilsbury, president OF the
Arizona Industrial Congress and chair
man of the boards Arizona-NeW Mex
leo chamber of commerce committee.
Mr.. Spilsbury's report on the states
1926 record and outlook for 1927 was
read as follows
General conditions in Arizona have
been very we'll maintained during the
winter Reduced returns for the cot
ton crop have been felt to some ex-
tent in the agricultural communities,
but steady operations of the states
large industries, good tourist sea-
son, and a continuation OF the large
construction program that has been IN
progress have contributed to sltua-
ton of stability.
"From the production standpoint,
Arizona made an impressive record
last year, with an output of essential
commodities valued in the neighbor-
hood of $180,O00,O0O, Of this amount
Sill 900, 900 represented the states
mine output, $30,000,000 crop values
$4,000, 900 livestock production, So
100000 lumber production. and the
remainder miscellaneous manufactur-
ed products. Considering that our
present population is only 41o,OOO,
and taken with the great expend1-
lures being made in new development,
Arizona state miner., 1927-03-26

quarters are to be found for them"
Continuing, the message takes ex-
ception to the provision restricting
the highway department impressed
fund, pointing out that the fund is
necessary to meet the requirements
of the bi-monthly pay day law and
the law requiring discharged workers
to be paid off at once. Under the
proposed bill it would be impos-
sible to do this, it is asserted.
AS a result of former labor diff
culties certain provisions have been
written into the laws, the gov
ernor says, for the protection of
the men who toll These the leg
islature with sweep of the hand
would wipe off the statute books, so
far as enforcement is concerned.
''If the state will not observe its
own laws and enforce the provisions
of it's own statutes what can be
expected from pricated employers"
he asks.
Merchants Claims
The message refers to the fact
that the governor in his opening
message to the special session early
in January directed attention to
the total of $625,OOO owed Arizona
merchants by the department,
though this amount is not consid-
cred as a deficit.
''The legislature failed to pass
this legislature either in the spe-
cial session or within the limits
fixed by the constitution for the
regular session" reads the message
Since the expiration of the sixty-day
session it has endeavored to use
the creditors of the highway de-
partment as a club to drive through
legislation which has twice been re-
jected by the people of this state.
II insist that the creditors Oh
the highway department should De
taken care of in separate bill, and
the department should be placed on
a cash basis. This recommendation
is in accord with the request of the
creditors and with the promise OF
those members of the senate VINO
pledged their word to the Marlcopa
county senators that the merchants
would be paid in a separate bill.
The bill is further opposed on the
grounds that it contains provisions
restricting the right to do work by
days pay
Against Commission
The proposal to create highway
commission is regarded by the gov
ernor as an attempt ito hamstring
the highway department, wreck and
destroy it," and goes on to show
how the commission would become
a self-perpetuating body, making OF
the department more OF political
football than ever.
Again the governor points out where
the legislature has overstepped it's
bounds by invading the privileges of
another department in this case the
judiciary, because of the provision
that the chief justice of the supreme
court would be called in to settle
disputes regarding the filling of vac
ancies on the commission.
In conclusion the governor points

Feeding Brooder Chicks

Poultry raising is rapidly becoming
one of the largest and most profitable
industries in this county and the fol-
lowing suggestions on the care and
feeding of the baby chicks sent out
by the extension service of the Uni
versity of Arizona, will, no doubt,
prove of great value to poultry men,
especially those just starting in the
business:
Remember that
A chick is born with a lunch in
his hip pocket, good for 48 to 72 hours.
Rate of growth is not so important

Expense of feed is not important

More chicks are killed by over than
