LADY'S SLIPPER SCARCE HERE
THROUGH RUTHLESS PLUCKINC
Interesting Wild Flower Be-
Iieved on Verge of Ex-
termination.
One of PecuIiarities Is Trap
ping of Bees Seeking
Honey.

The lady's slipper or moccasin. one of
the most interesting of local flowers, is
on the verge of determination near
washington, due to the rlthlesSnesS
with which 1t has been piucked during
the past few years by mixers and camp
ing parties. according to local wild
flower observers.
This flower. the most snowy of ma
tive orchids, was named by the Indians
in allusion to the resemblance of the
shape OF the blossom to the moccasirl.
Traps Bees.
Besides its beauty it Is notable for its
behavior in trapping bees. In quest of
pollen the bee enters the blossom easily,
but then finds 1t difficult to get out.
After buzzing around In the pink pouch
he finally discovers tiny opening to-
ward the top, through which he can
squeeze If he is not too fat. As he
struggles through this narrow passage
his back Is combed by minute, sharply
pointed papillae, which remove the poll
len that he has brought In with him
from the last flower visited. After this
has been entirely removed he continues
working forward. and his back receives
a fresh supply of sticky, yellow pollen,
with which he flies away TO another
mzOEcaSll.
But il the bee Is too large or too angry
to force his way through this small exit,
he often bites his way out through the
walls, mutiiating the flower. Whenever
a queen humble bee gets IN 1t is likely
TO be her death trap.
Ten Species.
One writer states: The flowers wait
patiently, often remaining in good con-
dition nearly a fortnight II no bee ar
rives." A seed pod follows the flower,
which contains quantities of minute
seeds.
The moccasin flower is also called the
stemless lady's slipper from the Greek
word "Cypripediunl, meaning Venus
slipper" It belongs to the orchid fam
lily. The pouch is deep pink veined
In delicate purple A single blossom
grows on stem about IL inches high
with TIVE clasping leaves at the base.

MlseITs ON THE FARM

Possibly because in the early
days so large percentage of
our population engaged in farm
ing, the idea has persisted that
anybody zan be farmer, regard
less of ability or training.
The truth is that today it re.
quires knowledge and good judg.
ment to be successful farmer,
just as it does to be a successful
manufacturer.
The farmer is, in o way, q
manufacturer. He takes the soil
and the seed as his raw materials
and through labor converts them
into products which must be sold
on the market, just as a manu-.
facturer's products must be sold.
His task is even more difficult
than that of the manufacturer,
because he must plan farther
ahead and is unable to forsee
what market conditions will be
when his crop must be sold. To
avoid loss, he must make his
plans with a reasonable margin
of safety.
If be fails to do these things
he is doomed to failure. He is a
misfit on the farm and should
get job where he will have
someone to do the reading and
thinking and planning for him.

LET THE QUOTA ALONE

The main advantage of the
exclusion of Mexico from the
quota provisions of the Immigra
tion Law as at present, is that
it enables the farmer and other
industries of the United States
to obtain common labor when as
needed.
After the rush for common
labor slackens. the Mexican la
borer does not become a public
charge, but returns to his own
country until needed the next
season.
This results in a better social
and economic condition than if
such transient employment in
volved permanent residents who
could not easily find other work.
To understand the common la
Dor situation in this regard, it is
necessary to know something of
crop production and amount of
labor needed during the cropping
season.
1t is estimated that Kansas
alone requires 100000 laborers
to harvest the wheat rop;Texas.
with it's millions of acres Of cot
ton, requires upwards of 100000
to harvest that crop; California
requires upwards of 100000 to
harvest fruit and vegetables;
Colorado requires $1,000 to har.
vest sugar beets.
Oregon. Idaho. Montana, the
Dakotas and several other Gen.
tral western states, including
Michigan, all require transient
laborers during harvest.
The requirements of these
states occur about the samo sea
sos of the year, cotton, sugar
beet, wheat, fruit and vegeta-
BILE crops needing labor about
the same time.
Numerous farm organizations,
the National Grange, and cham.
bers of commerce throughout
the Southwest and Pacific Coast
states have askede that our In
migration Law be left as it is.

A WELL DESERVED HONOR

Col. William Breckenridge,
one of Tom bstone's proudest
sons, has been named president
of the Arizona Pioneers Histor.
ical Society.
We know of no one better fitted
for the place nor more deserv.
ing the honor.
Colonel Breckenridge is on old
man in years but not in spirit.
Since his retirement from active
affairs several years ago he has
devoted much of his time to the
digging up of true stories con
Corning Arizona's pioneers and
in his new Office he will have
still greater opportunity to pre-.
serve for posterity the real story
of Arizona's early days. Unlike
modern writer's. Colonel Break
enridge has preserved bis equili
brium in judging the worth of
these early pioneers. A muir.
derer in the eighties is still a
murderer to Colonel Breakens
ridge and not the romantic hero
so many stories would have US
believe. The men and women
who built the west by hard
work, though lacking in ro
nance, will be given their right
ful place in history through Col.
Breakenridge's pen.
We also congratulate the So
siety for the reelection of Mrs.
George F. Kit as secretary.
Writers of both fiction and his
torical sketches have found a
valuable and helpful friend in

siderable help on her part that
