MANY ARE BENEFITED
THROUGH EXTENSION
WORK OF UNIVERSITY

More than $4,000 people of Arizona
were reached during the past year
through meetings and demonstrations
of the agents and field workers of the
Agricultural Extension Service of the
University of Arizona, P. H. Ross,
director, said yesterday in compiling
the yearly report.
This number does not include
schools, which would swell the total
considerably, Director Rosssaid. Ac-
cording to present figures there are
approximately 10000 farms in the
state, showing that each farm was
reached by the extension service about
six times each year.

WHERE SPEECH is FREEST
!


Comparatively few Americans know
that opportunity for the freest Of all
free speech in this free land prevails
in the halls of Congress. Section 6
of Article I of the Constitution of the
United States says, in part, "For any
Speech or Debate in either House,
they (Senators and Representatives
shall not be questioned in any other
place"
Whether a Senator may challenge
the statements of a Representative
and demand a proof, or a. Representa-
tive require that a Senator substan-
tiate his utterances, is not entirely
clear, but it is very evident that no
outsider has any defense against or

LATIN AMERICAN POLICIES

The administrators foreign policy,
if it can be called a policy, has caused
this country to be looked upon by the
otner American republics with sus-
picion and distrust where it has not
actually provoked hostility. 1t has
been denounced by many leading
Democrats and not a few Republicans
as spineless, headless and heartless.
Distortion of the Monroe Doctrine
to protect the exploitation by great
corporate interests nas aroused the
fear among Latin American people
that we are embarked upon policy
of imperialistic exploitation. At the
present time, in consequence, threats
of an economic boycott are heard from
other American republics and buyers
in these countries are turning to Eu
ropean markets.-Arizona Gazette.

 MANY GAR BUCKETS

The big ship, the s. s. Oduno, is just about unloaded and it Is thought tomorrow will show the steamer kicking up it's heels down the bay southbound to Seattle.
 These two dredges for the Fair banks Exploration company, will be followed next April by another one; then in the fall still another will be shipped North. Two dredges a year will be sent up to the Interior outfit until total of seven or eight are set up and in operation.
 Dredge A, the smaller of the two just arriving, weighs 1900 tons and has digging capacity of 40feet. Both arc all steel and No. A will be set up on Fox Creek.
 Dredge B weighs the same but has a digging reach of 60 feet. No. B. will be operated on Chatanika.
 One of the later dredges to come North will weigh in the neighborhood of 1,500 tons and will have larger digging capacity.
 There is crew now waiting at Fox to start initial erection and DOT tions of the hull, the first parts nec- essary, have been forwarded and the work of assembling is already under way.
 As each of the dredges arrives the power plant for it's operation will ar rive at the same time. Each dredge will have it's own power unit installed in the big new Fairbanks power house from which central point the juice" VIII DS

SUBSTITUTES FOR GASOLINE

| A review of the motor fuel Situa-
ton suggests the thought that un-
less the discovery of new fields ter
inmates with unexpected sudden
ness the decline in crude oil pro-
duction, when it comes, will be
gradual, and that from time to
time other materials will enter into
competition with petroleum and add
to the supply OF available materials,
states A. j. Kraemer, associate pc
troleum chemist, Bureau of Mines,
Department of Commerce, in infor-
nation Circular 6O15, recently
issued.
When, or if, the supply of petro-
leum becomes practically exhausted,
the methods of production of alter
native products (shale oil, alcohol,
coal distillates, etc.) will probably
be so much advanced over the pres
ent state of the art that there will
be no great hardship in the change.
In practically all oil fields, the
greater part of the oil is left in
the sands, when present methods Of
flowing and pumping have extract
ed all that it is economically pos
sible to extract. 1t has been esti-
mated that, in general, one-seventh
of the total oil content of the sands
is extracted by flowing and pump
ing, and that present methods of
rejuvenation and increased recovery,
with Improvements which may con-
fidently be expected, will result in
the extraction of another two-sev-
enths of the original content of the
to this estimate, twice as much oil
can be extracted from oil sands
now considered exhausted as has al
ready been taken from them. This
will still leave in the sands four
times as much oil as has been re-
moved by present methods, some of
this oil may be recoverable by meth
DDS yet to be developed.
The oil industry has been much
interested in this question of in
creasing the recovery of oil from
oil sands. Several companies, as
we'll as the bureau OF MINES anu
the U. S. Geological Survey, are
studying the question, and consid-
cradle progress has been made in
increasing recoveries by restoring
gas pressure and by other means.
What form of motor fuel the
future will demand is uncertain.
When cracked gasoline was new
product it was looked upon with
suspicion, and regarded as inferior
to straight-run gasoline. This view
has now been reversed and the oil
industry is steadily increasing it's
cracking equipment. 1t is not un-
reasonable to surmise that in the
future the demand may be for a
heavier, less volatile fuel than is
now being used. This would not be
more radical change than has al
ready taken place with respect to
use of straight-run and cracked
motor fuels.
It may safely be assumed, how
