THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS.
Give Corn Distance.

There was an old-fashioned honest, sensible
man who lived and died in Union County. He
was thrifty. He had plenty of stuff around him
for man and beast. He always had time to go
to church, and the bigger the meetings and the
better the preaching the he enjoyed it.
One day a thriftless neghbor said to him:
"Uncle ST. how is it you keep making money
every year and always have plenty around you? p
His characteristic reply was: "By giving my corn
plenty of distance and minding my own business"
Either characteristic of Josiah Foster, of Pea
Ridge, Union County, would furnish a good text
for an exhortation. Take the distance that he
gave his corn. A few years ago the writer
passing through this couny in August after corn
had done its best Hundreds of acres were has
tiy inspected. 1t wa sevident that less than half
crop was made. The shortage in yield resulted
from too many stalks to the acre and too little
work Cotton will wait on you. Corn is very ex-
acting 1t must have frequent workings to do
the best On good upland each hill should have
about Is square feet; the hills should be by 4.
That would give 2.70O hills, and the average crop
on upland falls below that number of ears. On
thinner land 5 by is about right and that gives
2,17S hills and three-fourths of the upland of
this Piedmont region makes less than that num-
Der of good ears to the acre. Give good distance,
cultivate frequently and the result will be salts
factory.
Reducing Cotton Acreage.
Last fall farmers were advised and urged to
SOW wheat and oats. When a personal appeal
was made to them they would say they wanted to
sow but had no land ready. The cotton was not
out of the way and they had pea stubble. So
March found them with all their land to be
planted in cotton with big G., and corn with
the smallest possible Fall will find them with
six-cent cotton, no land ready for sowing and best
seed wheat $1.75 a bushel. They will never re-
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-05-02

duce the cotton acreage enough until they get
to raising corn, peas, hay, small grain and cattle
Any little chunk of a mich COW will bring as
much 6-cent bale of cotton. It may be best
in the long run for the farmers of the two Caro-
linas to have about two years of Scent cotton.
That would tend to place them a self-support-
ing basis.
Let farmers who have set aside 10 to Is acres
to the horse for cotton, just figure little. In
this section it will cost 5 to cents a pound to
make the cotton Let these cotton men take
about Or acres of their cotton land, although
prepared and ready to plant and SOW bushel of
clay Unknown peas to the acre. If the land
would make 700 pounds of seed cotton to the
acre, it would make a ton and half of pea vine
hay. At cents pound the cotton and seed
would bring $2O90 Pea vine hay sells from the
wagon at 80 cents hundred. The ton and half
of hay would bring $27OO and the cost would not
be half as much as making the cotton crop The
land would be ready for early seeding to wheat
oats. That is the only way to reduce the cot
ton acreage, so as to make more profitable crop
and improve the land at the same time Then
when forage, corn, wheat and oats abundant
the fowls, hogs and cattle would be added
and farmers would be able "to live at home and
board at the same place."

LITTLE LETTER TO THE SAMPLE COPY
READER

Nv dear Sir: This number of The Progressive
Farmer and Cotton Plant has come to you marked
Sample Copy" That means that you are one
of a number of wide-awake farmers and truck
ers in the Carolinas and Virginia who ought to
read The Progressive Farmer, but don't.
And this copy is sent you solely to give you
the opportunity to reform.
It's not fashionable profitable to try to farm
here without The Progressive Farmer

Every week the most successful and enterprs-
ing farmers and truckers of territory write
our paper of methods and ideas which help them
make money-and which will help you make
money.
There are some papers you can't afford to take,
and there are some you can't afford not to take.
The Progressive Farmer is one you can't afford
not to take.
1t is not an expenditure, but an investment and
pays for itself every issue.
"Most money pays only per cent year." says
Mr.. Ashley Horne, ''but the money I pay for The
Progressive Farmer pays me per cent week."
"The Progressive Farmer" says Mr.. j. M.
Paris 'has given me 800 profit in improved land,
crops and stock for every ST I have paid for it"
But there's no use to argue. Here's the paper
let it speak for itself. We know you going
to subscribe, because we are going to get every
wide-awake farmer in North Carolina and adjoin-
ing States before we quit.
But what we want is to get you our list at

A D. Parker Well Pleased.

A. d. Parker of Denver. auditor of the
Colorado Southern r. r., who is one If
the principal owners of the Tonopah
Extension at Tonopah, and the Florence
and other good properties here, left
Tuesday after a visit of inspection of the
properties. He was accompanied on the
trip by his wife and John s. MeBeth,
one of the leading attorneys of Colorado.
It was Mrs. Parker's first visit to min
ing camp and she was as well pleased
with Goldfield as her husband is, and
has great reason to be, in view of his for
tunate investments here. Mr.. Parker
has been interested in mining for twenty
years, and his holdings here alone will
place him in the millionaire class. As
a result of his visit Mr.. McBeth will
also probably acquire interests in Gold
field.

Bullfroe Gold Mountain.

Bullfrog Gold Mountain Mining Com
formed to operate the claims Corinne
and Salt Lake, which have one of the
most favorable locations in the famous
Bullfrog district. They lie in direct
line, with but one claim between the
phenomenal Denver, which was recently
sold for 100000, and whose present
owners are assured of taking the pur-
chase price from claim before the first
of May. Experts and prospectors have
traced the Denver ledge to the new COM
pany's property, where large groupings
show a similar formation, and active de-
velopments has commenced.
Every indication makes it reasonable
to believe that the values will run as
high as the other rich strikes on this
ledge, and that the Bullfrog Gold Noun
tain people will soon have one OF the
great producers of this wonderful dis
trict.
The claims were originally located by
Ed. Bernane and others, who sold them
to J. NJ. Beck 4 Co. before the large
strikes were made on this ledge, and in
turn purchased by the new company,
who have already refused several large
cash offers, believing, as they do, that
but small development will show big
values.

IN THE FUNERAL RANGE
Another Rich Strike Reported From
That Section.

George X. Duncan, Mike Flaherty
and "Kid'' Price have returned from q
trip to the Funeral Range,
and are as enthusiastic trio OF men as
were ever met. Mr.. Duncan, an exper-
fenced miner who is interested in both
Goldfield and Bullfrog, says the new
district is the best surface showing he
has ever seen. A new mining district,
call the Echo Mining district, has been
formed by the miners and prospectors
now located there, about II in number.
1t is about 35 miles from Beatty by trail
and the nearest water is at Furnace
creek, distance of IL miles. The ore
found is honeycombed quartz showing
oxidized iron, and assays over 81 300 III

prospector named Hicks, outcrops for
1000 feet and varies in width from to

impossible to take a sample from this
ledge that will not pan gold. Three
samples taken from the ledge returned
an average assay value of $56 per ton in
gold. The ledges are said to be true

Nevada. California Prospecting Co.

The above company is recent incor-
poration, under the laws of Nevada,
with capital stock of $24O, 900. 1t is
the intention of this company to keep
men in the field prospecting for good
properties and to acquire them by pur-
chase. Subsidiary companies, in which
the Nevada California Prospecting Co.
will hold controlling interest, may also
be formed to develop certain OF their
properties. The officers of the compa-
ny are: DIR. G. T. Deane, secretary Cal
ifornia Petroleum Miners Association

of Goldfeld, member Todd-Hahn COM

constitute the board of directors.
The prospectus of the company de
scribes their present holdings as follows:
"The Mollie Malone group, compris-
ing three full claims, the Trixy, Mollie
Malone and Baldy, situated at the head
of Tule Canyon, about 7 miles south of
Ida and 27 miles southwest of Gold
field. These claims have large crop
pings and can be traced for long dis
tance. On the Mollie Malone the out
crop is about Is feet wide. A shaft has
been sunk to a depth of 20 feet, all in
ore. Our expert has made several ex
nations of this group and samples taken
from different places in the cut and
shaft show values of $40, $6.40, $l0.16
and $17.20 per ton. From dozen sans
pies from the groupings where no work
has been done, values of from $3.50 to
$3.50 per ton are shown, there being no
barren spot in the ledge. The ore is a
rusty whitish quartz, well mineralized,
and the ledge, true fissure vein, has
every indication of permanency and that
values will increase as depth is attained.
ave also have two other claims in
Tule Canyon about miles southeast of
the Mo!iie Malone group, one Of which
adjoins the Eagle group where strike
was recently made. They have shaft
so feet deep and ledge that runs from
$400 to $500 per ton.
''In addition to the above the COM
pany owns the Black Diamond group,
five claims, about ) miles east OF the
town of Goldfeld, and the King Solo
mon group, three claims, about 4 miles
west OF Goldfield."
Manager Todd reports that large
block of the stock was recently placed in
San Francisco.

homes arOused at its discovery.

Jones & Borlini have organized the
Goldfield -Montezuma company to take
over the Sassy Sal claim. This is the
property about miles from town that
a big strike was reported on. 1t is near
the Montezuma road and about one
week ago there was a stampede to that
locality. There is big wide ledge on
the claim that shows free gold in PAN
ming and from which assays of over $3.50
have been obtained.

MINING NEWS OF THE WEEK
Rich Shipment from Quartzite.

There is little in the way of news from
the Quartzite mine except that the Won
derful body of ore previously reported
continues to hold its own and each foot
of development work increases the value
of this truly marvellous property. At a
depth of 200 feet the lessees are still
drifting on the ledge and have body OF
shipping ore IL feet wide, every pound
of which is sacked and shipped. \
steady daily average OF 25 tons is being
shipped.
Last Tuesday four-ton shipment
from the 150-foot level was settled for
by the local sampler and the returns
showed value of SO OF. gold and sc or.
silver-$l, ,77s-per ton. This was a
special lot in addition to the regular
daily shipments. These figures are oflic-
ial and absolutely authentic. a story
has been published to the effect that one
ton of ore returned over $4,000 per ton,
and another shipment of a single ton
gave returns of $4,000 per ton. This is
positively denied by the management
who characterize the story as shot air"
without any foundation or semblance of
truth.
1t is the intention of the management
to commence work on new shaft to be
located down the hill short distance
from present working shaft. No more
sinking will be done in the old shaft, but
from it steady production will be
maintained while the new shaft is being
put down.

The Portland.

The main shaft in the Portland COM
pany's property has reached depth of
165 feet. 1t is impossible to tell the
width of the ledge at this depth, as the
bottom of the shaft is all vein matter,
and crosscutting will not be started un-
til a depth of 200 feet is reached.

Wolverine.BullfroS Company.
Goldfield and Goldreed Mines Co.

The above is the name of new COM
pany of which Harry Stimler, one of the
discoverers of Goldfield, is the resident
manager. The company owns the Red
Light and Gold Fleece claims, north
west of the Sandstorm, and four claims
at Kawich, close to the Goldreed Mining
company's property. Work is now be-
ing prosecuted on the Red Light claim
with good results. The shaft is down 50
feet and the ore will average $40 per ton
while several stringers going into the
hundreds have been cut.
