SEES MONEY IN
WEST TEXAS FARMS
Official of Agricultural De
partment Tells Farmers
How to Make It.

Temple, Tex, March 4-"Diversified
Farming in West Texas was the sub
ject of an address today by ]. c. Lind
sey. chief clerk, Of the Texas depart
rnent of agriculture before meeting
of special agents Of the United States
department of agriculture. conducting
Farmers cooperative demonstration
work in central and west Texas, un-
der the direction of j. L. Quicksall,
state agent.
There is no part of Texas where
such farming is more imperatively re-
quired, or offers assurance of better
returns than in west Texas, said he,
and no part of Texas where the one
or two crop system, accompanied by
soil exhaustion, will more surely and
speedily lead to bankruptcy.
The west Texan should be a stock
farmer Subject to limitations i'm
posed by his environment and profits
that can be realized, he should raise
cattle, horses, mules, swine, sheep,
goats and poultry and all the forage
necessary to support them and finish
them for market.
There is no region on earth in which
valuable forage crops can be Grown in
more variety and abundance and at less
cost than IN west Texas.
It is an ideal country for swine and
poultry as they are not subject to the
diseases that cause such serious losses
in more humid sections. 1t has no su-
perior in adaptability to the production
Of high grade cattle, horses and mules,
and is a veritable paradise for sheep
and goats.
The west Texas farmer should not
stop at livestock and forages crops.

Attention of the mystically inclined
seems TO be centred at present upon
the work of Mr.. Clay Burton Vance,
who, although laying claim to no spe-

The undentable accuracy of his delinea-

NEW CYANIDE TANKS
AT A PARRAL MINE
Manager of veta Colorado InstaIs His
Own Invention: Activity Among
the Mines I'm That Region.


Parral, Mexico, March 4.-The new
ParraI tanks installed at the Veta Col
orado for use IN the cyaniding process
are making a remarkable showing.
according to the opinions of expert mill
men. The tanks are three times as
large as the ordinary tank now in use
and with the same amount of air better
results are being obtained all around.
The continuous stirring Of the pulp
makes it more susceptible to the cyan
idilIR treatment and every particle
is thus attacked and no waste results.
The new tank is the invention Of Ber-
nard Macdonald. general manager of
the plant Mr. Macdonald had carried
on experiments in private for some
time previous to the installation of his
idea, and. IN order to compare the rela-
tive merits Of the tanks now In use
with his own. other tanks were pur-
at the plant. The Parra1 tanks are
winning UP to date
The 80 stamps are now going full
tilt in a satisfactorily manner; the to-
tai capacity has not been reached as
yet, nor will much occur for perhaps
two OF three weeks yet. To date no
flaws IN the machinery have been
found to mar the constancy OF the

about 1850 pounds were shipped TO the

specimens to various public and pri-
vate collectors throughout Europe and
America
Having no known commercial val
ne. at that time, both vanadium and
