Silver Coinage to Cease.

A great money making industry
promises to go into decline, IL Director
George e. Roberts of the United States
mint is correctly quoted by an Ore
gonian reporter. Mr.. Roberts is made
to say in an interview that there never
will be another silver dollar coined in
this country unless by some chance
16-to-1 congress should be elected,
for the supply of silver bullion pur-
chased under the Sherman act is ex-
hausted The records, according to
the directors statement, show remark
able increase in the gold production of
the world during the past decade, and
in 1904 the production will probably
be $350,000,000 The gold output OF
the world has nearly trebled in ten
years. That is given as the reason
why there is no silver question today.
Most people think the minis are busy
coming gold. They are mistaken. The
bulk of the work the minis do is the
making of copper cent pieces and
nickels. The profits derived from these
coins last year amounted to $2,000,0OO,
sufficient to pay the operating ex-
penses. For the fiscal year ending
July 1 our coinage of gold will reach
5000, 900, 000-the largest output in the
history of the country.

a very high type of man. The eternal
struggle of all of us should be to get
away from the average way of doing
things. This does not mean that we
are to do uncommon things necessarily,
but that we are to do common things
in an uncommon way. The man with
uncommon sense is the man who is
surest to succeed. The best prizes
of this world go to the men who can
do the common things of life better
than other people can do them. 1t
is always the extra labor and skill
that make profit for the farmer. The
farmer who produces SO bushels o.
corn to the acre makes a good deal
more than twice the profit he would
make from 25 bushels per acre. 1t
was never more difficult for man to
get along who does things in the aver
age way, while on the other hand the
profits were never so great to the man
who does things uncommonly we'll
And more and more will this be true.
We are very much mistaken If the
time does not come before long when
the farmer who can secure only 25
bushels per acre of corn in an average
year cannot make decent living for
himself and family.

color of the spores which are pro-
duced in dense masses on the under
side of the rusted leaves. Sometimes
the spore masses occur also on the
canes. The fungus attacks black
berries, dewberries and raspberries.
It is quite common on wild plants
and where these are growing in the
vicinity of cultivated varieties the dis
eased plants among them should be
destroyed to prevent them from be-
coming a source of infection.
Clinton states that the fungus en-
ters the very fine young underground
shoots and growing up through the
canes finally appears in the leaves.
Since the fungus grows within the
canes and infection appears to take
place at the root, the only preventive
treatment will materially check the
is digging out and burning the in
fected plants imme diately upon the
first appearance of the disease. This
treatment will materially check the
disease. Affected plants may usually
be detected before the rust breaks
out on the leaves. The diseased leaves
have a pale orange tinge and present
sickly appearance which one soon
comes to recognize as characteristic
of the rust-infected plants. Diseased
canes are also apt to be much freer
from prickles than are healthy canes"
In view of the dangerous character
of the disease and the slow and
stealthy nature of its growth when
once it has attacked vine, every
berry grower who reads these notes
should make a thorough inspection of
his entire orchard, and should also in
vestigate every patch of wild berries
that may be growing in the vicinity OF
his orchard 1t is possible that there
are more affected vines than is known.
The very best thing to do is to apply
the knife to all diseased vines at once
and burn them, destroying every Wis
tage Of the disease. If this is not done
whole orchards will be affected in time
and utterly ruined. Action to stamp
out the disease cannot be taken too
soon.

Inspect Orchards for Berry Rust.

Berry rust, a disease of nearly all
varieties of berries, is reported to be
making its appearance in the Puyallup
valley and all growers are being warn
ed to be on their lookout. Vines af-
fected by it have been found at Fern
Hill, Sumner and Puyallup, but only
half dozen or so Of vines have been
found, in ALL President Paulhamus,
of the berry growers association, sent
specimens to Pullman college and to
the experiment station at Geneva, N.
Y, at which Prof. F. G. Stewart is the
botanist. Prof. Stewart examined the
specimen and wrote Mr.. Paulhamus in
part as follows:
"Your letter of June 18th, enclosing
a diseased berry leaf has been referred
to me. The disease, as you suspect, Is
rust. This is caused by parasitic
fungus which enters the plant by way
of the root and penetrates to all parts
of the stem and leaves. Here in the
east it is a destructive disease. I'm

it will soon ruin plantation Of either
raspberries or blackberries. Our care
full fruit growers are able to keep 1t
under control by promptly taking out
and burning the affected plants as soon
as they show signs Of the disease. 1t
is important that the affected plant be
removed promptly when first signs OF
the disease appear for the reason that
If permitted to remain the spores OF
the fungus ripen before the pustules
containing the yellow powder break
open. This yellow powder is composed
of the spores. Uusually there Is an
interval of from seven to ten days be-
tween the appearance of the first
symptoms and the ripening Of the

statements concerning berry rust:
