MORENCI.

A representative of the ERA had the pleasure of visiting the hustling little city of Morenci just over the hill last Saturday for the first time, and to say that he was very agreeably surprised to find such busy burg is p1tting il mildly. Through the kindness of MT. Morris E.. Thorpe, the genial superintendent of the Morenci Water company, he was shown around and introduced to many promi- nent business men of the place. Among the places worthy of note through which the ERA man was kindly conducted was the great concentrating plant of the De- troit Copper Mining Co.,, on the north side, which is nearing completion. This plant, when completed, will be the lar gest of the kind in America, and proba- ably the largest in the world.
 As the writer has never had any expe- rience in writing descriptive articles of mining machinery, or plants for the sep aration of metals from rock, he will only undertake, at this time, to give the read CTS of the ERA a few of the minute de- tails of the immense works which are most wonderful to behold.
 To start with, there are five levels, or stories, to the building in which the ma chinery is being placed. The works are about half mile north of the smelter on the opposite side of the mountain. All the machinery is made of the very finest rolled steel The main shafts are set in solid masonry, the levels having been made in the side of the mountain where the incline is about 45 degrees. Six large gas engines of one hundred horse power each will furnish the power to run the mill proper. The engines will be on the fourth level from the bottom. There are also two twenty-five horsepower gas engines on the fifth level which will run the crushers. There will be twenty eight large vanners and thirty-two jigs. The company will manufacture it's own gas and the large gas mains are now in position throughout the works, as are also the water mains. The company has put in a new battery of boilers at their pumping station on the San Francisco river, six miles distant, for the purpose of increasing the water supply. The Mo renci Water company will furnish the necessary water for fire protection and drinking purposes. Hydrants with hose connected have been put in at proper distances throughout the works as pre-

SELECT THE SEED NOW.

There is no one thing which, of itself
alone, will insure the production of a
good crop. But there are some things
which are of much more efficiency in
securing this result than are others
which contribute to the general success.
Among The more important items is the
selection of good seed. To the host of
farmers who grow corr this subject is
just now of special interest. For the
yield and quality of the corn crop of
next year, will depend largely upon the
kind of seed that is used, and it is now
the time to select the seed. The too
common custom of selecting from the
crib in Spring involves altogether too
much risk. The ears may have been
damp when cribbed, have been frozen
in the Winter, and their vitality i'm
paired or destroyed. Besides, when
chosen in this way the farmer cannot
tell anything about the kind of stalk
upon which the corn was grown. This
is a matter that has never received the
attention which it deserves, even when
the seed corn was selected at husking
time. Good, we'll filed ears, of fair bni
not excessive size, which are produced
by stalks which are tall, well leaved,
but only medium size at the ground.

BEST WHEAT FOR THE SOUTH

For a number of years the Agricul-
tural Department has been investigat.
ing the grain rusts, which cause sc
much loss and are 80 very widely dis
tributed. Experiments have been
made with ~ view to prevention and to
determining what varieties most resist
the disease and also whether varieties
not resistant in some localities may not
be resistant in others. These inves
legations have been conducted in nearly
every State in the Union with the re-
suit that much valuable information
has been obtained.
The department finds that the stem
rusts are more prevalent in the West,
and the leaf and crown rusts in the
East and South. 1t recommends the
following varieties to Western growers
Turkey, Mennondite, Odessa, Rieti
Pringle's No s, and Pringle's Defiance,
and for early spring sowing Haynes
Blue Stem and Saskatchewan Fife.
The following resist leaf rust: Thesis,
F%ulcaster, Oregon Club, Deitz Long
berry, Sonora, Diehl Mediterranean,
Arnolus Hybrid and Calf Spring.
Durum and poulard wheats, used most
ly for m%accaroni, are also very resist
ant. Eikorn, used for feed. seems
absolutely resistant. Nearly any r
iety may rust if sown too late.
There are six different species of
rusts and the damage they do every
year exceeds, in the departments opin-
ion, that of any other pest, and in some
localities those of all other pests COM
bined.
In the Carolinas wheat Is quite COM
monty injured by rust, but it is not
grown extensively in those States. The
orange leaf rust seems to be the prevail
ing species, Tough as yet it is uncer-
tain whether it is the only one present
in cases of severe injury. One peculiar
fact OF interest is that early wheat,
as early May, ia also more injured
than late varieties, which is just the
reverse of the rule. Aprobable reason
for this Is that early wheat Is sometimes
weakened by frosts or freezes, and is
thus rendered more liable to rust. In
the Atlantic coast States the wild black
berry rust is extremely abundant,
especially in the edges Of cloarings
near fields of wheat-a fact which has
given rise to the opinion that
this rust has ONE ontogenetic connect
with the cereal rusts.
Very little wheat is raised in Georgia,
but usually what is grown Is badly in
jured by rust. Leaf rust is the species
most prevalent, but frequently the
grain is not severely injured until the
stem rust appears. In Georgia and in
Ill the Gulf States oats is seldom injur-
I'd by rust. The variety Of oats most
commonly grown is the Texas rust
,roof.
