! after conference OF EXTENSION ser
vice specialists and harvesters last
week.
Results:
In harvesting 100 feet length
of swath machines equipped with
rasp bar, peg tooth, or combination
of rubber rolls with cylinder har-
vested at average rates approXimt-
ing one ton of flaXseed per hour;
while a machine with rubber roll
ers alone harvested at the rate of
2i2 tons per hour.
Large machines, rasp bar and peg
tooth, in windrowed fields in the
tests cracked 81 per cent of the
seed. Similar machines in direct
combining other fields cracked an
average of Al per cent of the seed
Machines having a combination of
rubber rollers with cylinders crack
ed l per cent of the seed. Equip
ment with rubber rollers alone
cracked three tenthS of one per
cent of the flaxseed in the 1899
test.
Losses through the harvests in
the tailings averaged as follows:
Large rasp bar and peg tooth ma
chimes in windrowed flax, % per
cent. Large rasp bar and peg tooth
machines III direct combining other
fields lost 80 per cent of the flax
in the tailings. Smaller machines
with a combination of rollers and
cylinder had 1.2 per cent and rub
Der rollers alone had six lengths
of one per cent tailings losses.
Tests conducted at the University
of California at Davis on straw
samples which were taken from the
valley after having passed through
he various types of machines in
dicated that it is rather difficult
to separate flaxseed from the shred
ded, broken straw, resulting from
harvesting with a peg tooth cylin-
der. Seed separation is much easier
from the unbroken straw resulting
from harvesting with rollers and
from the intermediate type straw
from rasp cylinder harvesters.
Tests at the College also showed
that safe air velocities for flax are
about two thirds that for wheat.
Windrowing Comparison
During the study there was but
one opportunity to compare VIM
droWing and direct combining meth
ods wherein the field, weather,
combine and crew were the same
or nearly so. In this test a peg tooth
machine made a direct combining
test at noon and the same machine
harvested from windrows in the
same field that afternoon. The win
drow method cracked 40 per cent
of the grain compared to 3.9 per
cent in direct combining. failing
losses per acre were 642 compared
to 17.9 pounds. Field shatter losses
for Windrowing were 91.2 pounds of

How Many Lines?

WE have more to bother us in Nogales than whether
" Adolf Hitler will appear in Englands new book of
"Who's who".
AS we recall it, two years ago Hitler's name was
present with followup Of five lines, then last year
due to increased activity his part, he was given
additional twenty-four lines. Each line seems to
count in "Whos who" The French Premier receiv-
ed less notice than any other government head Our
own president and his wife were given three new
lines, if that should matter to you.
There will be some interest in the appearance of
the new book for 1910 to see what England will do
with these names next year.

TO Keep Xmas
Tree From
Shedding Needles

ALBUQUERQUE, Dec. 15-Take a
tip from the Forest Ranger = it's
easy to prevent shedding of needles
from Christmas trees. Here are a
few hints, relayed by the U. s. For
est Service regional office at Albu-
querque:
Store the tree in a cool, damp
place until time to set it up.
When setting up the tree, pare
the butt with a sharp knife, then
set the tree with its butt in a tub
of water or moist sand. This per-
mits moisture to be drawn up the
trunk and replaces in part the mois-
ture that evaporates from the bark
and needles of the tree.
Another method is to set the tree
with its butt in wide-mouth con-
tainer of about one-gallon capacity
Mix five grams of citric acid and six
grams of malic acid or pectin in
three quarts of water. When the tree
is set up, add fifteen grams of cal
cium carbonate to the acid solution
and pour the whole solution into the
container. AS the tree uses up the
solution, add more water.
The chemicals are inexpensive and
will work well for practically all
kinds of Christmas trees except
hem1ock.

(By UNITED PRESS)

Arizona cotton growers, by an
overwhelming margin, have signi-
fled that they want cotton market
ing quotas for disposal of the 1910
crop.
A vote held last week resulted in
a smashing victory for the con-
trolled marketing program with 915
farmers favoring it and only 27
dissenting.
Farmers in seven counties took
part in the election. The largest
vote was cast in Maricopa county,
where 431 growers favored the mar
keting plan and II were against it..
Yuma county growers also endors-
ed the plan, voting 159 to l to i'm
pose it in 1910.
Unanimous endorsements Of the
quotas came in Greenlee and Santa
Cruz counties. The vote in Green
lee was So to and in Santa Cruz
six to 0 to try the plan in 1910.

Much Ado About Nothing

THE wanderings of Winnie Ruth Judd have occas-
oned lot of newspaper publicity most of it propa-
ganda, and all of it with little foundation in fact
The entire story of Winnies latest escape from the
Arizona Hospital for the Insane could have been writ
ten in paragraph Of twenty or thirty words An in
asylum is not supposed to be prison. True in
mates are restrained, but in every asylum through
out the country escapes matters of weekly
renee. 1t just happens that Winnie Ruth Judd is lit
tie more notorious than the average patient There
FORE the reading public is forced to wander through
a lot OF manufactured fiction.
There is phase to the Winnie Ruth Judd mat
ter that must disgust large majority of the citizen
ship OF the state One two Phoenix reporters be-
came peeved at the administration because of fancied
grievances and patiently endevorng to "get" Gov
ernor JONES' The thought behind lot of their propa-
ganda is that sufficient clamOrng regarding the con-
duct Of affairs at the state hospital will dscounten-
ance Governor Jones in the minds of Arizona citizen
ship.
After ALL the complete story makes the record not
just two parts of the story And affairs at the
Arizona Hospital for the Insane are really much bet
ter than at any time in it's history prior to this time
There is room for improvement, but improvements
have been and are being made To the average citizen
OF Arizona 1t would that the enemies of Cover
Jones and his administration must be rather hard
put when they find necessary to use the misery of
unfortnates at the hospital to put their political
ends Certainly some more appropriate subject could
be procured
The present row is much ado about nothing Bisbee

Charter Is Granted
Sealing Mergerof
Harness Bodies
By the Associated Press,

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. THE
State of Ohio granted a non-profit
charter today to the United States
Trotting Association, marking the
final step in the merger Of three of
the country's largest harness racing
parent bodies.
The United Trotting Association,
the National Trotting Association
and the American Trotting Register
Association consolidated under the
new name. Incorporation papers
bear the names of 80 directors, rep
resenting various sections of the
United States and Canada. Twenty
six attended today's meeting.
Only the American Trotting Asso-
citation, with headquarters in Chi
cago, did not participate. The new
group plans to invade the Ameri-
cans territory, however, directors to
supervise racing in every State hav-
ing been selected.
E. r. Hartman of New York, pres
ident of the former American Trot-
ting Register Association and one
of the Grand Circuits leading reins-
men, described the merger as the
most forward step ever taken to
help the harness sport"
Under the new setup only one
registration card for owners and
drivers will be required. For two
years the groups had operated un-
der the same rules and classifica-
tons. but Hartman said the merger
would permit closer supervision of
racing and make rule changes easier
to approve and enforce.
