CACTI FOR TELEPHONE POLES
Scheme for a Government Line n
Arizona Desert Which Is Be-
lieved to Be Feasible.
Sabuara for telephone and tele
graph poles is the latest idea and one
that is to be tried out. It sounds
plausible and it is believed that it
will be more economical than the old’
style of poles. Its test is to come
from Arizona.
The government is to build a tele- :
phone system for the forestry serv-
ice of the Coronado forest reserve.
The first of these lines to be built
out of Tucson is to be used into the |
Catalinas, and it is there that the
Sahuara experiment is to be tried. i
The giant cacti will not be sawed
off and set up nor will they be trans-
planted, but the growing plant will be '
used as a pole where it is found prac-
tical. Where they can be found in
what approaches alignment, so that
the line will not have to zigzag too
much, the sahuara up in the canons ,
through which the line will pass are
to be ufilized for the purpose of at
taching brackets to which the wires
will be fastened. And so the secret is
out.
Along the proposed line it is diffi-
cult to set poles, owing to the rocky
nature of the country traversed. Not
only is this the case, but it is diffi-
cult to get the poles up there in the
hills to set, while the sahuaras are
right there in many instances, and
while not at a uniform distance this
is not considered important. An-
other saving will be that while the
made to order poles will not oust the
ready made ones, these will be of
long life and will not demand replen-
ishing and replacing from time to
time. .

Presently there entered a well-

“Why—why, you're not my husband,

To Try Trapping Sparrows.
Agents of the department of agri.
culture, it was announced, have been
for the last two months experimenting
with devices to trap English sparrows.
From Maine to California an agent
of the department has traveled during
those montls. Many machines have
been tried out, but as yet one has not
been perfected which officials say will
| do the work successfully.
Dr. Charles J. Fisher, who has the
work in hand, said that the English
sparrows are a nuisance and that they
harm bearable frnit trees in the
spring.
“Take young apple and peach trees,
for instance,” Dr. Fisher said. “The
sparrows eat into the buds and de
stroy the cores. It then becomes im-
possible for them to bear fruit.
