according to the directianH of the
Extension Service, keep a record of
costs and expenses and determine
at the end of the year what profit
is possible under the proper care
and management.
A Washable County parebred pig
club leads the state in this springs
sales of %purebred livestock. Mem
bers of this club sold breeding year
ling sows at an average of $34.50
per head. The average gross profit
per member for their past. years
pig club project was slightly ever
$125.00. Part of these hogs were
sold at a public sale, the rest OF
them at private sale. One member
of this club, Herman Birdshell, sold
his sow and eight young pigs this
spring for a total of $374.0O. The
cost of the sow was $3.50, the
feed bill, $75.75, leaving a net pro-
fit of SEATS. County agent, Mr..
Allen of Washable county makes
the following statement:
This is perhaps an exceptional
net profit due to the high prices
of hogs at this time. 1t would be
conceded. however, that there is
money in hogs over any ~ten-year
period. There should be more hogs
raised in Washable county. And,
above all things, the minute hogs
drop. in price, we should not dis
pose of all the brood sows. We
may cut down on production. but
when hogs are down is always the
best time to raise the quality of
the few sows we are keeping over.
Every farmer should have at least
one brood SOW and should keep her
through the lean years as we'll as
when hogs are high. She will make
money rel during the low prices
years when the family meat is taxi
en- into consideration"
Goshen county is arranging for
the purchase of 80 purebred dairy
calves and about 40 head of pure
bred hogs to be used in club work.
The dairy claves will be purchased
in Minnesota, Wisconsin and other
states where good cows can be Sc
/! cured. The pigs will probably be
secured in this state.
County agent H. d. Linn Of Car
bon county, the latest addition to
the Extension Service, comtemplates
putting in dairy cattle and hogs in
one or two communities.

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDSI
FOREST SERVISE FIRE LAW

The supreme court has just de-
cided that carelesseness with fire
need not be confined to federal for
est lands in order to constitute a
criminal offense under Section SO
of the United States Criminal Code.
Leaving a fire near a federal for
est without totally extinguishing it
even though the fire is started on
private land is a criminal offense
in the eyes of the court, n pun
ishable by fine or Imprisonment if
National Forest timberland is en-
dangered. The decision is espec-
tally important to National Forest
protection, according to the Forest
Service, for their many thousands
of miles of boundary are subject
to the grave danger of fires that
originate on adjacent private lands
outside and may sweep into Nation
al Forest land.
This decision, coming at the
very beginning of our main forest
fire season, will be a powerful fac
tor in preventing carelessness with
fire on private lands within and
near the National Forests" accord
ing to John H. Hatton, Acting Dis
trict Forester of the United States
Forest Service, Denver. 1.-THE care
Iessness of campers or owner can no
longer plead private ownership as
an excuse for leaving a live fire
which escapes into Government tim
Der. This, combined with the fact
that the law applies equally clearly
and forcefully to fires abandoned
on government land, gives a strong
weapon for combating this phase of
the fire problem.
1.-THE Forest Service cooperates
oWners whose lands adjoin or in
termingle with National Forest land
but there are many other owners
and many visitors who are careless
with fire and endanger public prop
erty." said Mr.. Hatton. THE Forest
Service welcomes visitors to the Ma
tional Forests for recreational and
other purposes, but it can not
afford to be lenient with those who
endanger these vast public proper
ties, and is compelled in their de-
lSllCt W d SlTlCL eulOICeffeul Vi lls
forest fire statutes. The Forest
Service warns all campers and trav-
eIers within the National Forests
to drown their camp fires with
water, to dispose of matches and
smoking materials safely, and to OBJ
serve the no smoking regulations
whore they are in effect. Likewise
it warns local farmers and settlers
to burn brush and other debris
only in wet weather and in strict
accordance with State and Federal
laws, remembering that they are re-
sponsible for the escape of such
fires on to Federal forest land"
In the case of the United States
vs. ID. i. Afford, just decided by
the Supreme Court, Afford had
been indicted for building a fire
on land adjacent to the Florida
National Forest and not extinguish-
ing the fire before leaving it, as a
result of which National Forest
lands were burned over. The court
demurred to on the ground
that the Federal Statute did not
cover leaving a fire at any place
except on Government land. The
District Court Of the southern dis
trict of Florida sustained the de-
murrer and the case was brought
up to the Supreme court.

lNews Notes From The
County Agents Office

An interesting sheep culling dem
o%nstration was started this week
at Ed Heald's shearing sheds. D.
]. Robertson. Livestock Specialist
from the university is conducting
the work.
AS each w is sheared it's fleece
is weighed and length of staple
noted. II fleece is too light and
short. the w is marked for Gull
ing.
At the end of five years the
total weight of the clip for this
band will be increased at least two
pounds per sheep. This work is
in its second e in several sec
lions OF the state n the results
indicate that the increase of two
pounds will be obtained in less
than five years. Mr.. Head has a
band of two year olds that he is
using on this demonstration. More
c~ooperators will be added next year
if they care for this type of work
Poultry culling work will be
started early in July this year. Mr..
o. N. Summers will be in the
County for several days. The
county agent will take care of any
extra work thai is required. Anyone
wishing to have a demonstration
should get in touch with this of
flee at an early date so that neces-
sary arrangements may be made.
An effort will be made to hold dem
~onstrations in all sections of the
county SO hat as many people as
possible may have a chance to learn
this work.
When is the right time to cut
alfalfa? This QUESTION has been
asked a great deal lately. Since the
Introduction of hay inspection and
grading at the marketing centers
and shipping points, it has been
found that time of cutting is one
of the nail discriminating factors
as to grade. 1t has been definite
ly demonstrated that if alfalfa is
cut at the proper time there need
be no distinction between first, sec
ond and third cuttings, in feeding
value. This will be disputed by
many alfalfa growers, but neverthe-
less is a fact. 1t is true that ton
mage of first cutting will be reduc-
ed If hay is cut at the proper stage,
that is when the majority of the
field is in the bud stage. Good
quality hay is put up in the very
early bloom, say 5 per cent to 10
percent of the field. Hay cut in
full bloom or half bloom will be

MADDUX PLANE
ARRIVES AT 4
SATURDAY P. M.

Postmaster E. j. Huxtable, of the
Douglas chapter OF the National
Aeronautical association, received a
telegram from Will NJ. Fox, of the
Maddux Air Lines incorporated, early
Thursday saying that the MaddUx
flying inspection party will arrive in
Douglas direct from Los Angeles on
Saturday afternoon at 4, Douglas
time, prepared to spend the night
here.
A banquet and dance will be held
at the Club Social, In Aqua Prieta,
on Saturday evening in honor of the
party, which will include Jack L..
Maddux, head of the corporation
and Mrs. Maddux and members of
the board of directors of the COR
poration and their wives, according
to the telegram from Fox.
There will be ten persons in the
party and they will come to Douglas
in one OF the IL passenger Ford Stout
monoplanes that is being used in the
San F'rancisco-San Diego air line.
That this passenger and freight
service is to be at once extended
across Arizona to Douglas and on to
Ell Paso is the expectation Of aviation
boosters here. While no definite plan
for landing tfS plane here has been
made, it is thought probable that
it will be landed at the fair grounds
field so that it can be placed in
the hangar there over Saturday
night, although the field has been
acknowledged to be too small for the
proper taking OH of such large
ship The ship can then be taken
off from that field Sunday without
a load and landed to take on its
passengers at the army field at
Camp Jones.

STEERS ALL OUT
FOR TEXAS TRIP
8:45 THURSDAY

It took an all-night session to get
the Mexican lOng-horn steers loaded
out for the trip to the Texas range and
the last lot was put into the car yes
terday morning and started from the
Douglas yards at 8:45. The work hid
been so strenuous for some of the rail-
way force in Douglas that they had to
submit to the urge for rest and take
the day off, as some had taken little
sleep and had been actively on the go
for more than two days. The weigh
ing, dipping and loading was all COM
pleted satisfactorily.
From a source believed to be re-
liably informed, it is learned that the
cost of the steers on board cars as
they started east would total very
close to $3.50 the head, this not in
Guiding feeding in the yards here. The
first cost at Escada is reported to have
been $38 the head, American money

basis. If these figures be accepted as
correct, then the steers represent an
investment, before the freight is added,
OF $3.50 the hundred pound on the
basis of an average of TOO pounds
Laid down at the grazing point in
Texas they will cost the buyer not far
from 8 cents the pound.
1t is understood by those who help
ed to handle the steers that some of
them probably will be diverted in
transit and may go to other buyers,
although they were all sent from Doug
las to The original purchaser and
started away from here, it is said, for

CLUB MEMBERS
MAKE TRIP IN
AIR WITH FRYE

AS guests of President Frye of the
Aero Corporation of California, a
large number of the members of the
Douglas chapter Of the National Aero
nautical association, accompanied by
their wives, were given short rides in
the big, six-passenger monopl ne in
which the Aero corporation head ar
rived in Douglas yesterday on his in
spection trip. During Thursday after
noon the aviation chief spent his time
in plotting the Douglas air boosters IN
what, to most of them, was their first
trip aloft.
To say that they all enjoyed the
trip would be cheap expression They
were overjoyed. The enthush ssm Great
ed for aviation was stupenduous. Every
person who rode in the plane came
down praising the advantages of air
transportation. The ride was revel-
alton to all of those who had not been
up before
The trips were made from the Camp
Jones field Four persons were taken
on Gach trip. The plane demonstrat-
ed to those who took the trips, and to
those who remained below, the as
founding exactness with which it
could be handled and the accuracy
with which it could land and take off
from the field There was a cross
wind blowing and the plane had to
taxi across the field and take off and
land from the southwestern end in
order to be in the wind, which is the
safe method in flying. Every pass
enger taken aloft has now been added
to the great army of boosters Of air
transportation as safe and efficient.
