years.
Women between twenty and
thirty.
Over three men TO one woman
commit suicide.
That married men are more Civ

SO small as compared with those to the

Then there is another type of soil IN
the East. very loose and sandy variety,
that produces the best early or trucking
crops 1t would not do SO well for other
staples as it does not take fertilizlng SO
well. 1t dries up earlier in the season,
and gets warm earlier also.
In the East also there is another va
riety Of soil, made up Of a large amount
cf vegetable matter. An examination OF
one sample showed that it was extremely

neutralize that sour quality There IS no
use in applying ammonia to soil OF tins

and corn than they are to cotton.
1t is only a question CT few years
when North Carolina will haive a great
deal of more competition than we have
ever had. For instance, a great deal of
bright tobacco is being grown IN South
Carolina and in Georgia.
We have heard a great deal about
Cuban tobacco and sumatra tobacco, the
kind that makes the best cigars. This

the mountains. Some sixty per cent of the
soil OF this section is red clay, which is
a splendid soil for production, naturally

rest is gray land or sandy loan aderlald

Going to the mountain section, there Is

State, but the valleys are very fertile.
He dwelt particularly upon the grow
ing of apples in the mountains. There arc
large areas of land in that part e the
State that consist of land that is pecu
liarly adapted to fine apples, such as the
Albemarle Pippin. These lands are at
tracing great attention, and it will not
be long before they are taken up. But
it was the duty of the State, not to IN
vite freign capital to come in, but to put
before its own people the advantages to
be derived
The tendency of agriculture is to
specialize. for certain crops are shown to
be better adapted to certain soils. This
is a way will itself solve the fertilizer
question: North Carolina is one Of the
largest fertilizer-using States in the coun-
try. Last year some $4,000 1000 was ex-
pended for fertilizer. The proper study OF
the soils will enable the farmers to buy
raw materials and make their own fertil-
izer to the best advantage.

few large buildings, rather than small ones.
There are two advantages and one dis
advantage in having all the live stock,
together with the feed, housed in one
large square barn. The first advantage is
that it takes less roofing and less wall
for a square than for an obling barn.
Another advantage is that the chores re-
quire less work, and the work Is more
pleasant where there is less running about
out doors to do in cold and wet weather.
The disadvantage lies in the fact that in
case of fire you loose more than YOU
would if the barns were several and So
lated Here in the South the buildings
need not be SO tight and expensive as
it is necessary to have them further
North They should have a sufficient
number of windows and openings to adj
nit of free circulation of air, and an
abundance of sunshine. The floor of the
loft over the cows should be quite tight
so that no dust can sift down.

barn and white-wash the inside. White
washing the inside improves the appear
ance greatly, shows dirt plainly and thus
promotes clearly ways, besides being a
mild disinfectant and deodorant.
FARM POWER.
"Steam is pre-eminently the power for
the cream separator, because much steam
is needed anyway for heating water and
sterilizing cans. OF late. gasoline engines
have come into use on many FARMS and
seem to be meeting with general approval.
Perhaps the reason why the gasoline en-
CINE is appreciated is on account of the
ease with which they can be started and
stopped, without waiting and bothering
about getting up steam, as with the
steam engine.

HAVE NOT CAUGHT BURGLARS
Property In Battle Mountain
Now Guarded at Night

w. j. Woolcock is in towp today
from Battle Mountain and will remain
two or three davs on business.
Mr.. Woolcock states that the man
or men who hurglarized two saloons
one night last week have not been ap-
pretended and the chances are that
the ywill not be. A subscription was
raised by the merchants and business
men of Battle Mountain for the pur-
pose of hiring a night watchman, and
Mr.. George Hinnman. formerly in the
service of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, has been employed in this ca
pacity.
A night or two ago, as he was pa
trolling the streets, Mr.. Hinnman saw
a stranger standing at the front of a
fruit store. whose only security
against entrance was a screen door,
fastened inside with a hook. AS Mr..
Hlnnman approached, the stranger
walked rapidly away; he was told to
halt, but instead of doing so, broke
and run at a 2:40 gait. Hinnman fred
three shots at him, but did not hit
him, and the fellow got away. II was
found that the screen door contained u
long cut, and it was evident that the
appearance Of the watchman prevent
ed another burglary.

RETIRING THE CURRENCY

ing in Ut Money

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Secre-
tary Shaw arrived in Washington this
afternoon and Immediately went to
the treasury department, where he re-
mained until Midnight. He declined
to discuss in any way the present rush
of national banks to retire their cur
culation in order to take the profit on
United States bonds now deposited
with the treasury or to say whether he
would take any action in regard to 1t.
1t was stated, however, by high
treasury official that the secretary
could not stop the retirement of circu-
lation by Withdrawing government de-
posits from national banks applying
for such retirement, because the pres
ent movement is not confined to gov
ernment repositories alone, banks
having no government deposits being
among those seeking to retire circu-
lakon. 1t was thought by the same Of
fetal that should the secretary take
the action suggested to prevent gov
ernment repositories from retiring cir
culation, banks not carrying govern
ment deposits would avail themselves
of the opportunity for profit by retir-
ing circulation. Since September 1st
twelve days) the applications to re-
tire circulation amount to s7.S00.000.
These applications cover the entire
amount which may be legally retired
during September. The treasury Of
fetal above quoted said today that the
present situation is a complete an
swer to those VINO have argued that
the removal of the limit of $3.000.000
circulation which may be retired each
month would provide more elastic
currency.

Had A NARROW ESCAPE
Tom DOOIey Injured in the
Yards This Afternoon

Tom Dooley, car inspector in ne
Winnemucca yards, met with pain
full accident this afternoon at 2:30, but
is thanking his stars that he got off
with no more serious injuries tnan
we're sustained.
He was working under a car, repair
ing broken coupler, when the
coupler fell without warning, striking
him on top of the head, cutting deep
cash two inches long, after cutting
through the heavy hat he was wear
ing. The force of the blow hurled
him to the ground, and his right
cheek was bruised and scratched in a
painful, but not serious, manner. He
was placed in a buggy and driven at
once to DR.. Samuels' Office. where the
wounds were dressed.
When it is remembered that the
coupler weighs 400 pounds, and that
Mr. Dooley was almost directly under
it when it fell, it will be seen that
he had indeed, a narrow escape

NO SESSION IN OCTOBER
Congress Will Convene on
9th of November

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. Sept. 12.-Af-
ter mature consideration and consul
tation in person and by mail with
members of both the senate and house
of representatives, President RoOse-
welt has abandoned the suggestion
that congress be called in extraordi-
nary session which he announced
many months ago would be held this
fall will be called, according to pres
ent plans, to meet on November 9th.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
suggestion of the October session of
congress came from parties who ad-
vocated its adoption, the suggestion
was not received with favor by men,
bers of congress generally. The idea
of an October session was opposed
because 1t would oblige senators and
representatives to leave their states
and districts in the midst of a cam
paign which to many of them and to
their party was of vital Importance.
No arrangement has yet been reach
ed as to the character of the financial
legislation which will be enacted at
the next session. 1t is not certain that
an agreement can be reached between
the two branches of congress whereby
any special legislation can be enacted.

LATE STRIKES
IN TONOPAh
Extension of Mizpah Ledge
Believed to Have Been
Found

Last week the town was full of ru-
mors of sensational strike in the
Tcnopah Extension. but no authentic
information could be secured. This
week the Miner is enabled to give
the facts. At depth OF 235 feet an
oxidized ledge was struck nearly three
weeks ago, and at the fine work was
discontinued last week an ore body 8
feet in width had been opened up. Mr..
O6die and Mr.. Siebert. of the Tonopah
company, examined the ledge and took
samples which resulted in average as
says of $235 per ton. Both. gentlemen
state their belief. that this is the ex-
tension of the great Mizpah ledge. II
this should prove to be the case, this
is the most important strike that has
occurred in the district since that Of
the Belmont. four months ago. It
shows conclusively that the great min
eral zone extends across the gulch to
the westward, and opens up vast pos
sibilities for the Ohio -Tonopah, the
Mcnamara and all contiguous proper
ties. The new hoist will start up next
week.
Last Tuesday most important
strike was made in the north cross
cut of the North Star, at distance of
S5 feet from the shaft, opening up q
strong ledge of rich sulphide ore,
which at the present writing is feet
wide, with every indication that it will
prove much wider. The ledge runs
east and west, with dip to the north,
and carries ore identical with that
now being extracted from the great
south ledge of the Montana-Tonopah,
of which undoubtedly it is an exten-
sion. An assay made Wednesday show
ed values of 1919, and 1882 was gold.
This latest discovery places the North
Star among the great mines of the
camp and extends the area of produc-
tion in the vicinity very materially.
The management is very much elated
over the developments of the past
week and the news has been received
with enthusiasm in Tonopah. The
strike has put an end to the talk OF
consolidation of the North Star with
the Belmont company.
