BluestOne Treatment of Posts
Is Effective, Economical
By ELMER and ED DOTY, Carbon County
Farm and Ranch Experiences


OUR RESULTS with treating
posts by the bluestone Copper sui
phate) method have been very sat
isfactory. Though we have tried
no other method, we have read of
some, and doubt if any of them are
any better than bluestone, taking
everything into consideration.
Our first posts were treated in
1914 and set in the ground in the
spring of that year. This makes six
seasons that they have stood. Ex-
animation of them beneath the sur
face of the ground shows them to
still be perfectly sound and solid.
Treatment by the bluestone

Prefer Late Fall Cutting

We have cut posts in the fall, win
ter and spring, but prefer cutting
them in the late fall and letting them
lie over until spring before being
treated. Posts must be green when
treated, as a dry post will not take
the treatment.
Posts which are cut and allowed
to lie awhile in cool weather seem
to take the treatment somewhat
faster than those which are cut and

program has been formally ap-
proved, and copies have been sent
to county PIMA committeeman from
which they will prepare county
handbooks fitting the program to
their individual counties.
Although in general the 1850
Handbook is very similar to those of
previous years, several major
changes have been made. Of these
the one most significant, perhaps,
to individual operators is that the
per-person payment limitation has
been raised from $3.50 to $4,000. Also,
the state ALLEGATION of funds for con-
servation practices has been in
creased from $3,655 900 to $4,051 900.
Rates of payment, which on an av-
erage represent about so percent of
the cost of performing practices,
have been increased because of
higher costs of materials, operating
expenses and c~ontractual services.
For example, the rate of payment
for application of phosphate has
been increased from 3k to Az cents
per pound of available phosphoric
acid, and the rate for dirt moving
under such practices as dams, bikes
and bitches has been increased from
9 to 10 cents per cubic yard.

In order to encourage farmers TO
divert acreage from wheat. an in
creased rate of assistance is BEING
offered for legume and grass seed

percent of the average cost of seed.
not to exceed Sd per acre.
A new practice is being offered
this year for legume and grass seed
ing in addition to the permanent
pasture seeding practice which has
been in the Handbook for a number
of years. However, the acreage that
will be eligible for assistance will
only be the acreage established in
excess of the usual acreage of all
biennial and perennial 1egumes and
perennial grasses on the farm.
Alfalfa has been added as a green
manure crop but is limited to the
first or second year alfalfa from
which no hay, seed, or pasture is
taken in 1850. The land clearing
practice is applicable only to land
cleared for establishing permanent
pasture or biennial or perennial le-
gumes or perennial grasses needed
for a better soil conserving cropping
system on the farm.

Shown here are comparative sizes of
posts treated successfully with the
bluestone method by the DotY Bros.

4 inches TO 10 or III inches in diameter.
In the background is a pile of several
hundred aspen posts cut last fall. They
were treated this spring.
ately. We haven't treated enough to
be certain of this though, and would
not care to pass it on as a positive
fact. Our faster results on posts
handled in this way may have come
from other causes
Cement Vat Essential
The construction of a cement vat
is almost essential for the treatment
of a large number of posts. The
bluestone solution is corrosive to
metal and so cement is about the
only satisfactory mean by which it
may be held. Treatment of a small
number of posts might be done in
a mmo wooden STAYED barrel,
but there would be some danger of
the rungs corroding and the blue
stone solution being lost.
The size vat an operator wants
will be determined by the number
of posts to be treated, and their size
and how many it will be desirable
to treat at one time.
We have constructed a vat with
cement sides and floor. The top is
flush with the surface of the ground.
Our posts are usually mixed up quite
a bit as to size and we get close to
100 in to a vat full on the average.
1t is a good idea to build a ridge
of cement up around the edge of the
vat to keep rain and snow water
from running into it. We did not
build such a ridge around our at
first, and were bothered by water
dilution.
Also, it is a good idea to build a
cover out of 2 or 3-inch plank to
place over the vat while it is not in
use.
Saturated Solution
The water and bluestone should
be put in the vat before any posts
are put in. A saturated solution
is recommended. CA saturated solu-
ton is one in which bluestone has
been dissolved into the water to a
in it).
We obtain a saturated solution by
first scattering bluestone over the
floor of the vat. We then hang a
burlap bag, with bluestone in it, in
n corne of the vat. This bag
should be raised out of the solution
every day or so, in order to make
sure that it still has bluestone in it,
and thus insure a saturated solution,
The water will dissolve somewhere
around three pounds to the gallon
The solution should be allowed to
stand a day or two before being
used, to make certain that the first
posts are treated in a saturated So
luton.
After the posts are cut to the de.
sired length, it is recommended tha-
the part which will be set beneath
the surface of the ground be peeled
This is the practice which we hav,
always followed.
This peeling involves a consider

of the posts in a solution of blue

TheChef
Says

All melons in general are from
an Asiatic or African species
which belong to the gourd family.
! They are believed to have been
cultivated a long time before the
Christian era, and were grown by
the American Indians in colonial
times. The odd thing is that the
wild progenitor of our cultivated
melons has not been identified
but it is believed to exist, some
where in the tropics, probably.
The most important commercial
varieties of melons that come to
market are the true cantaloupes,
the muskmelons, the honeydew
melon, the caSaba, and water
melon. The muskmelons have
salmon or green flesh, and are
soft rind, netted round or oval
affairs, sometimes called nutmeg
melons in the trade. Best known
are the Persian, te Pride of Wis
consin, and Hales Best. These
have salmon flesh and musky
flavor. The green feshed types
include Melted Gen, Rocky Ford,
and Hackensack.
The true canatoupe has flesh
that is light green to greenish
pink. The rind is hard and warty.
CThe name, incidentally, is de-
rived from the town of Cantalupo,
Italy, where the vine was intro
duced from Armenian The fruit
has definite ribs or weals running
from tip to tip.
HoneydeWs have a smooth. hard
ivory white rind, with pale, trans
lucent looking green flesh. An
other member of this family, the
Casaba, has round, hard yellow
shell that is somewhat ridged,
with pale ivory meat. Other
melons that keep coming to
market until the winter months
are the Christmas melon. and the
utterly luscious CranshaW.
/ When buying cantaloupes or
muskmelons. be sure that the scar
at the stem end is slightly sunken
and calloused. Pressing the stem
end is no good-if a lot of pre-
vious customers have INDUCED,
the fruit will be softened, any
way. Too yellow fruit indicates
over-ripeness. Netting should be
coarse, corky and grayish. Avoid
melons with Sunken or soft spots,
OF with decay or mold about the
stem end.

WhyGrow

By Josephine lowmon

Each summer I print some OF
the letters which come to me from
women who entered my eight
week self improvement marathon
in January.
The human-in interest stories these
letters tell; stories of feeling young
again, of an increase in living
values because of a loss in weight
and therefore a loss in self-con-
sciousness; stories of the effects
of physical self-improvement on
personal relationshipS-all Of these
are most fascinating!
I always look forward to re-
ceiving these letters and like to
share some of them with you be-
cause they provide inspiration to
those of you who have put off a
plan of self improvement, month

Dear Mrs. LoWman.
Not long ago I noticed your
article in our paper and decided
to send for your reducing 3eaflet.
At that time I felt like somebody's
grandmother and my health wash t
too good. I am feet inches
tall, and at that time weighed
200 pounds. I was about as broad
as I was tall.
II guess if I could have seen my
self as others saw me I would have
tried doing something about it be-
fore. I did want to but didn't
know how to go about it. I am
known for my determination and
will power so that, with your help,
I was wonderfully rewarded.
Il want you to know that I have
lost 80 pounds and feel like a
different person. I wish had pic
lures taken before and after my
loss so that you could see just
what I accomplished.
Lately have been a little care
less about counting my calories
and have gained a few pounds, but
I will never allow myself to be-
come fat again. l am conscious Of
every pound gain. would ap-
preciate a new reducing leaf1et.
You should see mine! I have
nearly worn it out
There is little l can add to a
letter like this. My capsule ad-
vice for today is: Don't gain the
extra pounds back once you have
lost them, and don't keep those
you have! You, too. can feel the
thrill of young, girlish figure,

the Arizona Sun.
On the Editorial page of the Au-
gust IL issue, I noticed an article

While it states, reprinted from the
Atlanta Daily World" it being on
the Editorial page seems to indi-
cate the endorsement of the Editor
of the Sun.
It is true, some churches do not
sanction remarriage after divorce,
other churches and the great mass
of individuals, inside and outside of
churches, see nothing wrong in it
and it is no way contrary to some
state laws. I have been a member
of the N.A.A.C.P. for years and
cannot find, that it is church or
even Christian Association. The re-
quest that Walter White should
disassociate himself with his lead
erShip in the N.A.A.C.P. seems
therefore entirely out of place.
We need more leaders like Wal
