LETTER BOX
In his letter from Phoenix, Ariz.
Gerald Hurdon gives some infor
mation on petrified wood, and semi
precious stones to be found in abun
dance in that section of the United
States.
2210 W. Van Buren St.,
Phoeniz, Ariz.
Dear Bill:
Received
note about
‘and didn’t
rarity in those parts as it apparently
seems to be, so I thought maybe it
would be the proper thing if I told
you something about it.
We’ve found petrified wood ‘ in
Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, 'California,
New Mexico and in Arizona-— the
Wyoming and Arizona wood is much
better and more colorful than that
found in other states and that found
here in Arizona is both superior
and by far more plentiful than that
foifnd anywhbre else in the world.
Oui’ petrified Forest in mid-north
ern Arizona covers an area of ap
proximately 27 square miles and is
so littered with the stuff that
impossible to take more than
steps without treading on it
only one fifth of it is above the
■face — huge logs broken at
lengths lay strewn all round over
the entire surface, many over six
feet thijk and the coloring runs
riot — for instance in the souther-
most corner the division is known
as the rainbow area then as you
travel north thru one of the roads
that cover the forest you come
across the blackwood area and it
was just outside of this area that
the piece you received was taken —
this wood is the rarest of all tho’
not the most plentiful for the rain
bow wood is very highly colored.
The piece I sent you is only one
degree softer than a diamond and
will readily cut glass but is very
brittle and can be smashed by a
sharp blow, the same as glass -— it
is in all probability about eight mil
lion years old and has lain at terrific
pressure beneath set level for ap
proximately one million years before
the changing surface of this old
globe shrivelled as it cooled forcing
the section containing the submerg
ed forest high and dry—later the
mud covering has weathered and
blown away leaving this' strange
phenomen exposed.
We have several pictures
in and around the area which
all fenced and turned over
government as a national
ment but a picture can’t begin to do
justice to a scenic marvel that pass
es beyond the sphere of imagination.
Along the highways outside the
forest where the roadway cuts thru,
a rise you may see partly submerged
odds and ends of the wood and on
my last trip up that way I brought
back about two hundred pounds in
small bits of around 2 to 20 pounds
per piece—most of it lies in our
“rock box” outside the door along
with samples of various ores, tur
quoise, malacite, obsidian, (black
glass); onyx, moonstone, agate, jas
per colored quartz travertne and
dozens of others — some of these
we’ve been interested in enough to
have cut and polished, in fact Nena
now is wearing a ring that has all
the fire and sparkle of a dia
mond—it was cut from a dirty little

Pleads Guilty to

black stone she picked up on the
desert while seaching for Indian
ax-heads—it interested her at the
time because on holding it up to the
light she found it to be semi-trans
parent—later, we ascertained that
it was a smoky topaz, quite common
hereabout, and on one of her trips
while up in Oregon she happened
to show it to a stone-cutter whom
she eventually left it with to be cut
—the dirty little black stone came
back to us in two clear and brilliant
jewels weighing about two and a
half karats each—later these were
turned over to an old Mexican jewel
ler along with some broken jewellry
settings, the latter to be melted
and wrought into a unique and ori
ginal setting for one of the stones—
the other one was returned
and is to he mounted later on
we can better afford it.
If you’d care for some of
same stones I’ve no doubt I could
.pick many up in and around our
little five acre ranch
bought and mail them to you but
I must warn you that it costs plenty
to have them cut.
I expect to be in Mexico again
shortly and will attempt to pick up
a few odd trinkets while there—
we’re allowed to bring back $50.00
worth every thirty days, per person
and should you care for any odd
pieces of what nots, I’ll try to pick
some up for you.
The stores there are pretty cheap’
and shoddy but many of the articles
on sale cost less than a fourth of
what you’d pay here for them.

tequila, garrcho, belts, boleros, som
breros, mantillas, fire opals, chaper-
ajos and silver jewelry, odd and in
teresting doodads and thingamabobs
and an occasional whatnotos.
Mexican cigaros (cigarettes) are
in themselves quite interesting, all
that is necessary is to smoke one and
from then on thru the remainder of
the day anything you may smoke
tastes exactly the same as the cigaros
—they cost from 3c. per pack op
25, up to 11c. depending on th'e
stage of ghastliness you prefer — 1
know a chap who smoked a pack of
them down in San Antonio, Texas
and was roped by .some cowboys in
New Mexico next day as he floated
by over the tree-tops—the boys got
him down and pumped the gas out
of him but even today he’s still a

After that I guess its about time

SOME ESSENTIALS
BROODING CHICKS
The normal profitable egg-pro
ducing life of the farm hen is so
short that, if the farmer is to main
tain his flock on a sound economic
al basis, he is faced with, the neces
sity of replacing a large number of
his birds each year says W. T. Scott,
Head . Poultryman, Dominion Ex
perimental Station, Flarrow, Ont.
If his usual practice is to buy baby
'•chicks from a hatchery and brood
them himself, the poultryman must
provide good brooding conditions in
order to develop the chicks into pro
fitable laying stock. Stunted chicks
and a high morality’ may be the re
sult of poor brooding and the loss
cannot be replaced entirely. Late
replacements are responsible for de
layed maturity, small eggs, and low
production in fall and winter when
prices are at their peak.
As it is a bad practice to mix
chicks of different, ages, and as the
brooders are available for more than
two hatches only .under very favor
able weather conditions, sufficient
equipment shQuld be provided to ac
commodate at least half if not all, of
the chicks without crowding. The
early hatches require the brooder
heat for seven or eight weeks, and
the temptation to make room for the
second hatch by depriving the first
of the heated brooder before they
are comfortably feathered is dang
erous. A sudden drop in tempera
ture will result in cilling followed
by pneumonia and a high death toll.
The utmost care and the most
elaborate equipment will not raise
vigorous profitable chicks that have
inherited poor vitality or suscepti-1
bility to disease. Noi’ can those
chicks that have met reverses in the
brooding stage be raised profitably
The essentials that insure success
are good stock, good dry draught-
free houses, reliable heating, clean
litter and sufficient “waste proof”
feed hoppers to provide room for
at least seventy-five pei’ cent of the
total chicks to feed at one time.
With a temperature of 9'5 to 100 de
grees at te edge of the cover, , a
good chick starter mash always be
fore them clean water to drink, a
hopper of grit and some succluent
green feed there should be no diffi
culty in brooding the baby chicks
satisfactorily.
