CENTS ton
Minimum Price Agreed On by
Growers Of the
South.

Shawnee. Okla. September 6.-Th!s
years cotton crop Will be sold for IA
cents during September and October.
and Is cents thereafter. This was the
agreement cache tonight by the
cotton growers OF the South attending
the National Farmers Union here.
The action, which was Unanimous.
was taken on the adoption OF the re-
port OF a special committee on mini
mum prices. The committee was COM
posed of cotton growers. who were
largely Influenced by scores OF tele-
gras and messages from all parts OF
the South. many OF which urged a
minimum OF Is cents:
Little OF the proceedings and DELHI
erations was made public to-day. al
though aside from ixing the price the
farmers are to ask for their cotton,
good roads, parcels post and dabbling
in cotton futures will be discussed by
the convention.
Members OF the union say the par
and that the delegates will indorse
the Scott "anti-gambling" bill pro-
hibit!ng the use OF mails or interstate
commerce for the ~furthering of con-
tracts for the delivery of cotton where
there is no Intent to make actual de-
livery.
The report OF the live stock commit
tee urged diversified farming and stock
raising. and contains the statement
that "one million additional mich cows
anr an equal number of mother sows
properly distributed through the South
would easily add $40 per bale to the
price OF the cotton crop"
The congressional mmigra ton com
mittee recommends increasing the head
tax, excluding illiterate adults from
America. and ftning of foreign steam
ships for bringing to this country un-
desirables that could ne rejected on
the other side.

OPALS ON THE DESERT.

Remarkable opal discoveries have
lately been made in the Death Valley
country and F. NJ. Myrick, an old
miner of the desert, in company with
two young prospectors from Los An
geles, has recently found opals which
promise to start a rush into the
country this fall, according to infor-
nation which has been received here.
The rocks which Myrick and his
companions have found are fire opals
or white and red with the white
transparent.
1t appears that Myrick's long hunt
on the desert is to be rewarded. For
years he has prospected through the
dead hills in vain for pay dirt and
had about decided to come to Bakers
field when he made the strike OF the
desert. Bakersfield men are interest
ed in Myrick's claims.-Californian.

ENGINEER Of
GREAT ABILITY
BRIEF REVIEW OF THE WORK
OF j.. PARkE CLAIMING IN
INTEREST OF THE MINING
INDUSTRY.

The following extracts from an
article in Copper Curb and Mining
Outlook concerning ]. Parke Can
ming, the well known engineer. will
be of interest 10 many here who know
him personally or by reputation:
The requisiton for this sketch vas
so sudden that it was impossible to
get the conventional details of Mr..
C%anning's life. The late Robert J..
Ingersoll in his famous lecture on
the Railspliter %eloquently insisted
that Lincoln had no ancestors and no
defendants. That was pretty hard
on one of the head men of the Pull
man company. at one time a cabinet
officer who sat around the council
board with a Republican successor
of his distinguished father. But the
appositeness and pith of the great
agnostic's illustration could not be
gainsaid. 1t would be a ~disadvan-
tage for purposes of comparison for
any man 10 claim kinship with Lin
coin, so Robert. his son. could not
take offense at the great and just
tribute paid to the memory of his
father.
The meagreness of conventional
chronicle about the great constructive
engineer and metallurgist was
battling. 1t was in a~ntipodal con-
wealth OF material We have as to his
professional career and achievements
in Tennessee Copper. in Miami, in
Nevada Consolidated. in lining up the
mines now proposed for the still
pending and %protracted Calumet &
Hecla merger.
On one hand We have a man of
whom the bulky volumes Of modern
and current biography have nothing
to say and on the other hand we have
a man whose contributions to scienti-
fc mining have been second to that
of no man, living or dead. Mr.. Chan
ming can we'll afford to suffer neglect
at the hands OF the collectors OF
tones dealing with so many men of
lesser degree when his name is writ
so large on the scroll of scientific
mining and metallurgy.
Mr.. Channing's services in develop
ing porphyry mining and in convert
ing sulphur fumes into sulphuric acid
are enough alone to make him re-
membered for aye in copper mining
annals. He may we'll let the Who's
Who" book go to and stand pat on
the material services he has render
Z ed In mining. He has snatched more
than one.brand from the burning in
making mining and metallurgy more
of an exact science. He is indeed
a maker of mines, making one or two
of them out of low-grade. disseminat-
ed material which had before been
thought valueless for the purpose OF
recovering copper from. At Duck
town, Tennessee, he has built a great
sulpuric acid plant which turns the
fumes from the roasting ores into a
commercial product, instead of aus

NOTES FROM THE EXPERIMENT

r. w. Thatcher, Director Of the
Washington Experiment Stations.
says:
Corn makes a very profitable for
age crop In most OF our northwestern
sections wherever the annual rain
fall is fifteen inches. or more. II the
annual rainfall exceeds Is inches.
corn can be grown In rotation with
wheat without seriously diminishing
the yield of wheat the succeeding
year With less than Is inches of
rainfall the moisture taken by the
corn usually. cuts short the supply for
the succeeding wheat crop, a little.
With 10 inches or less, alternate sum-
merfallowing would probably have to
be practiced with the corn crop the
same as is practiced with wheat
growing. The chief requisite for
successful corn growing under these
conditions is to use seed which has
been acclimated. Corn grown in the
central west states will not mature
here because OF the shorter period
between chilling frosts and cool
nights during the summer. We have
however. several strains Of we'll ac
climated corn which we have devel.
oped at the Washington Experiment
Station. Another requisite is thor.

Under present market conditions the
best grain to feed in combination
with alfalfa pasture is chop made
Of equal parts of wheat. oats, and
barley ground together. Ten to IL
pounds of alfalfa seed per acre is
sufficient, II sown with a grain drill.
II seeded broadcast, fifteen to eigh-
teen pounds Is usually necessary in
order TO get uniform stand Alfalfa
seed sells at 1Sc to Csc per pound,

ally the higher priced seed is the
cheaper, as 1t carries a much higher

"Logged-off land in western Wash

ably adapted to pasture usage. 1t Is
quite a common practice to seed the
ground between tho stumps with
clover. especially white clover, and
In a few months have a splendid
pasture which may be used for per-
Tod Of years without removing the
stumps. There is considerable diff
Guilty In seeding grain under such con-
ditions, however. The adaptability
Of such lands to the growing of cat
tie, therefore, depends upon the place
which pasturage may occupy in the
growth Of the animals and this In
turn Is determined largely by the eli
matte conditions. There is no ques-
ton whatever but that such pasture
lands are admirably adapted to dairy
cows and growing young stock. 1t Is
my opinion that hogs may be very
proftably grown under such condi-
lions. suplementing the pasturage
with little grain which can be either
grown or purchased.
Canada field peas have been cult
waited very successfully all over
eastern Washington where the rain
fall Is is inches or more both for
forage and for green manure. It is
possible to get growth OF as much
as three tons per acre of air dry
material to be plowed under as green
manure and field peas are much bet
ter for this purpose than alfalfa, be-
cause they make their growth and
are ready to pillow under within about
one hundred days. whereas alfalfa
requires at least two years to get in
good shape to plow under. Canada
field peas should be seeded at the
rate Of about one and one-half bush
els per acre on dry land, the ground
being first plowed and well narrowed,
then the peas seeded with grain
drill In order to set them three or
four inches under the ground. They
can be seeded by sowing them broad
cast on the ground and than blowing
them under with a very shallow pillow,
but this method does not conserve
the moisture as the other process
