TIMELY IDEAS FOR
COTTON PLANTERS
now to Lessen the Damage to
cotton Products Done by
the Boil Worm.

The following suggestions are
taken from Il recent letter pub
lished by State Entomoluei,t
Wilmon Newell:
While there is little likelihood
OF the farmers experiencing as
heavy losses from the boil weeviI
this year As last. the situation is
nevertheless serious enough to
justify the planter in taking every
possible precaution towards pro-
tectlng the crop at every stage
against the many insect foes from
winch 1t may suffer. The damage
lone 10y the boil weevil but adds
TO the necessity of protecting the
cotton against other insects. Be-
fore the advent of the weeviI, a
small percentage of the crop could
be spared to the boil worm. the
caterpillar aud other pests and
the planter could still gain good
returns. Under the conditions
now prevailing. every pound of
cotton possible must be made to
the acre, lest the profit. already
small, be wiped out entirely.
Next to the boil weevil the
boil worm is the most important
enemy of the cotton crop.
Now it happens that corn in
silk is always the preferred place
for depositing eggs, and therefore.
If corn be planted in or about the
cotton field at such time that 1t
will come into silk when the early
August brood of moths appears,
these latter will deposit their eggs
in large numbers on the corn
instead oe on the cotton. Such
corn often has thousands of boil
worm moth eggs on single ear.
When these eggs hatch, the little
larvae fight among themselves
until but one or two, out of the
many hundreds Matched on the
ear, remain, for they are cannibalS
and will not tolerate each others
company. By thus colonizIng
them upon this late corn they can
be MADE TO DESTROY EACH OTHER.
We therefore advise the farm
ers to plant a few rows of corn
across the cotton fields, every 200
or 800 feet. making this planting
between May 18th and Goth.
This should bring the corn into
.ilking at about the time the
months of the third generation
appear.
The important feature to re-
member is that this corn must be
brought into tassel and silk soon
after August 1st.
To sum up: first; plant a few
rows of corn between May 18th
and goth, across the cotton field
every eco feet; second. destroy
all early planted stalks of corn
now in the cotton fields as soon
as they produce roasting ears.

 Wickenburg Miner: Two thous- and acres of placer ground has been taken up and surveyed in the last ten days by Emil Holden, Harry Cowell and Mir. Somefs of Pasa- dena, Gal. Two machines are now on the way from Denver, and Mir. Earth, expert and agent for the company, will start work by the 10th of this month These ma- chimes weigh about 5000 pounds and are capable of working so tons per day. The ground has been carefully prospected and examined by Messrs. Earth and Holden and others, and has been found to average at the lowest estimate, one dollar per ton, and as there is not less than five million tons of work able ground, without having boulders to move or other difficult ties, there will he at least ten different machines working in a month from now.
 International American: F. H. Hereford and Charles F. Hoff of Tucson have leased their America n mine in the Patagonia district to Joseph Brown, a mining operator who had a lease on the Cuprite property near Vails, a short time ago. From this property Mir. Brown shipped 800 tons of ore. Word was received by the owners of the mine from the lessee stating that he had shipped a carload of ore and that the smelter returns were excellent The American mine is silver and lead proposi- tion and is located in the Harshaw section of the Pata agonia district. It lies dJdcent to the famous Worlds Fair mine, which is owned by Frank Powers of Nogales About twenty years ago when silver commanded a good price the American mine was worked on a considerable scale.

 the assessment work has been com pleted on that company's property which lies in the Aravaipa section. He estimates that about 50 tons of high grade ore, carrying mainly silver values to the extent of 100 ounces to the ton, were taken out.
 Tombstone Prospector: The copper strike recently made at the Esmeralda mine of the T. c. M. Co.,, is still developing most satis. factory proportions. A winze started on the ore is now over 70 feet deep with copper the entire width of the winze and the bottom showing no diminution. Several carloads of the ore is to be seen on the dump and is the nucleus of what promises to be one of the largest copper producing districts of Arizona, if geological formations and expert deductions count for aught.
 Journal-Miner: N. II. Partridge, general manager of the Planet Copper Mining Company, develop ing the Planet mine in Yuma county, reputed to be the first copper mine ever operated at a profit in this territory, who was here yesterday purchasing sup plies, is very enthusiastic over the future prospects of the new copper country opened by the Arizona x California railroad. He stated that he was confident that it would develop into one of the greatest mineral producing regions of the west.
 Journal Miner; All differences between the directors and stock holders of the Black Mountain Copper Company have been legally adjusted, and the company is now financed for large operations A new hoisting plant and air com pressor has been purchased and the plan of development includes the sinking of the 135-foot shaft several hundred feet deeper, and the ex- ploration of the vein by an exten- slye system of laterals. The ma- chinerv will be installed as soon as delivered and sinking resumed when 1t is ready for operation.
 Copper Era: The New York Arizona property, which is located a short distance from the Gold Belt claims, is being worked steadily and reports from the camp are most hattering. An assay was recently taken of some quicksilver ore which gave $336 in silver and S53 gold, total of $3S9 to the ton. The sample was a picked one, but the superintendent is authority for the statement that an excellent average value is ob- talned where the rich ore came from. This strike was made on claim adjoining the Buzzard Shadow and gives promise of being an important factor in the financial success Of the company. Sinking mas teen continued on the Buzzard.
