Everyday Psychology
Controversy.

If logic were as foolproof as the lOgi-
clans claim, there would be absolutely
no controversial questions In all the
world.
Problems of every kind then would
fall into two claSses-settled and un-
settled. Controversy would be out Of
the question. Logical reasoners would
not quarrel over unsettled problems !;
they couldn't over the settled ones. But
in everyday life. logic has small place
In a certain sense, deServedly so.
A life of pure logic would be uninter-
esting. The spice of life is due to the
prevalence Of personal opinion, the al
lurements Of presumption, the excite
ment Of hearSay. the marvels of sus-
picions, the balm Of naturalization.
Take the emotional factors out of our
mental operations and the whole Of
psychology would be about as tireSome
as the multiplication table or the rig
marole of a Latin paradigm.
The only trouble that can possibly
come from the illogical controversies Of
everyday life is the refusal of some
people to take them for what they are.
In other words, some people get into
real trouble with their thinking, when
they try to make logic-tight compart-
ments for things that just won't stay
put, since they figure here and there in
the varied experiences Of Still more
varied minds.

Recently q renowned nerve specialist
said that nervous patients seldom have
hobbies. That is, he has found that 1t
Is only very rarely that one Of the men
or women who come to him for help In
nervous disorders proves to have any
sort of hobby. Inverse1y we might con-
clude that people who have hobbies run
less risk of becoming nervous sufferers
than those who have no such diversion.
This Self-SaHne nerve specialist was
unfortunate enough few years ago to
become a nervous patient himself. His
trouble was due to hard work and anX-
iety without the relief Of a hobby. BY
way of treating his own case he took
up knitting. Large, thoroughly mas
culine man that he Is. this proved an
excellent recreation. He could turn to 1t
at any time that he felt nervous and he
chose intricate knitting to make sure
that 1t would hold his attention.
Crossword puzzles have been bene-
fetal to overweight people because
they are difficult enough to force con-
centration. Others who have sought
and found relief from nervousness by
way Of hobbies have taken up clay
modelling, sketching and furniture de-
signing.

the rifle and the revolver. They
are used for hunting. for sport,

whereby all Arizona business

UNIVERSITY or ARIZONA NEWS

University of Arizona (Tucsop)
In the opinion of Prof. Ian A.
Briggs Of the University Of Ari
zona. there is at present an indi
cation Of considerable increases
in alfalfa acreages in the state.
It is believed that the most
noticeable increases in produc
ton will be found in Maricopa,
Pinal and Graham counties.
Unsettled condition of the cot
ton market and the subsequent
reduction ia cotton acreage will
have tendency to boost the al
falfa crop, it is said.
Professor Briggs points out
that large proportions of Arizo
na alfalfa are moving to eastern
and southern markets than was
the case a few years ago. Para
Telling the Arizona increase the
Southern California area has
had q marked increase too.
There has also been a tendency
in Arizona toward the use of
cheaper bulk feeds, such as
grain hays. supplemented with
larger amounts of cheaper grain
feeds in regions which formerly
used large amounts of local al
falfa.
It is said that the condition of
1880 seedlings of alfalfa which
will furnish crop in 1881 is not
prime in states which hereto
fore have been able to furnish
the southern market with alfalfa
hay. Thus according to Mr..
Briggs the movement of Arizona
alfalfa toward the east and south
will tend to increase rather than
decrease.
Professor Briggs is also of the
opinion that increasing amounts
of Arizona alfalfa will be con
verted into meal and leaf meal.
This industry, it is maintained
may have some promise even
though cheap grain proteins are
to be found on a rather low mar
ket at the present time.

According to report present.

faced farm to- market highways

This, it is said, appreciably re
duces the earning and purchas
ing power of q per cent of our
citizens. The modern farmer
may have radios, telephones,
tractors, electricity-but so long
as be has to depend for trans
portation on roads that are es
sentially the same as those OF
20 years ago. it will be impos
sible for him to progress and
prosper to the limit of his poten
tialities.
Experience in many states has
shown that secondary roads can
be made passable at all times
Of the year by the use Of low
priced surfacings, of oil or asp
hattie types. Upkeep is like
wise low, and any expense incur
red is returned time and again
to the county and state in more
prosperous farming conditions.
It is estimated that 8 billion
dollars will be spent in 1891 for
new roads. Various states are
planning the most comprehen.
sive road programs in their his
tory. Wise use of funds can,
without creating enerous tax
increases, give the farmer the

WHAT DOES MINING NEED?

The argument over the propos
ed copper tariff must be decided
on the basis of facts, not on the
basis of local pe,judice or politi
cal expediency.
Mining is an essential indus
try, and if its future prosperity
depends on protection from cheap
labor foreign importations, it
should be given that protection.
But if, on the other hand, min
ing can return to normal with
out tariff restrictions that is the
better course.
At present. the effort of the
copper producers themselves to
adjust supply TO demand is a
good augury for the future. l.
may be that wise production
procedure, coupled with all
possible aid from stain govern
ments, is what mining principal
ly needs.
