Halt in Gold Output.

Tremendous economic significance
NAV attach to the stop in the worlds
gold output The flood has passed the
crest and the output is falling Off.
This tendency may affect the cost OF
living. Economists see much signh-
canoe in the situation. Figures cover
ing .he worlds gold product for 1910
were given out Tuesday by Director
Roberts of the u. $. Mint, who is
probably the worlds leading authority
on this subject For the first time
since 1899 there is a loss. The pre-
liininary figures show 51,3o9,00O OF
gold produced in 1910, against A54,422,-
900 in 1909 SAL, ,932, 900 in 1909, s4l2. 532,-
O0O in 1907, s4c2, 500, 600 in 1906, $3.50, ,2ss.-
900 in 1905, s347 .377 900 in 1904 s327,7o2,
900 in 1903, s2S6, ,737 900 in 1902, s260.992
900 in 1901, 1854 ,476, 900 in 1900.
The fact of a small reduction in 1910
would not in itself be highly signit-
cant were it dissociated from the con-
ditions which suggest strongly that the
top of the wave has passed. The Won
derful increase in production which
brought it steadily from $4,000, 900 in
1895 to the $454, 900, 600 mark in 1909, was
partly the result of opening new fields,
partly of developing cheaper reduction
processes. For several years econom-
lists have been convinced that the flood
of gold was perhaps the, chief cause of
the world wide enhancement of prices,
the growing cost of living, and the
difficult readjustment of business to
the increased price scale. The falling
off will undoubtedly be slow and
money standards are not likely to suf-
fer in consequence. Serious proposal
of r2adjusting money standards has
been put forth in the past, based on
the expectation that the gold output
would so on increasing until 1t would
be as impossible as a money standard
| as copper or red clay. but with even a
slow falling off of production of the
| United States a slightly more rapid
! one in Australia and Africa unable to
| make gains because of labor difficult
ties there, it seems that the yellow
metal will maintain it's superiority as
an exchange medium of the world.

Walnut Plantations.

(Manchester, y. H. Union.)
The black walnut is useful tree
and grows quite rapidly in favora bic
situations. bur it has been used With
such freedom that its wood has been
getting scarce il recent years, as is
also the case with the equally useful
hickory or "shagbark There does
not appear as yet to have been any
systematic effort u promote the plant
ing of the hickory, although it would
seem to offer promising field for
experiment, but in some parts of the
West, and notably in Kansas, there
has been inaugurated systematic
movement looking to the increased
growth of the black walnut. 1t will
be recalled that the state agricul-
tural department of Kansas last fall
urged boys in those counties wheEr
the black walnut is still compar,-
lively abur1ant to gather the nuts for
shipment as a gift to boys in other
counties for the purpose of planting.
Now comes bulletin from the ex-
pertinent station of the Kansas state
agricultural college. prepared by c.
a. Scott, forester in charge, giving
directions how to grow black walnuts
in plantations. Although no sugges
tion is made to that effect in the bull
letln. it is quite likely that the direc-
tions would apply to the planting OF
hickory nuts here in the East.
The statement is made that under
favorable conditions the black walnut
is tree that is easily grown. The
seedlings reach height of from
90. u nchaS the first
season. an. this height growth is OK
ceeded from year to year during the
sa pling and pole stages OF develop
ment. The nuts should be planted
where the trees are to be perina :
nently located for the reason that
the seedlings develop very strong
tao root the first season and trans
nj 1nting is impractical. The nuts ma .
ture IN October, and should be gath
cred soon after they fall from the
trees. They should not he hulled. as
the hull in no way interferes with
termination, and it protects the ker-
mel from injury by drying. Nuts for
fall planting keep perfectly in smali
plies in cool, shady places, the piles
not to be more than twelve to hfteen
inches in height, on account or the
dsnger of the nuts heating if the pi'e
is large. For spring planting the nuts
should be stratified over winter. ana
this may be done in moist sand OF
leaves in any protected place. In
! stratifying, a two-inch layer OF sand
or leaves should alternate with a lay
| er of nuts of the same depth. The
| nile should be kept moist and allowed
to freeze and remain frozen through
ont the winter. Equally good results
! follow spring or fall planting.
The ground in which walnnts are
to be planted should be thoroughiS

Editorial Comment
Civic Problems.
lEall River Herald.)

(Fall River Herald)
Thirty-four states will be represent
ed at the eleventh annual meeting of
the National Civic Federation in New
York this month. These delegations.
without exception, have been carefully
chosen and they will represent the
most advanced thought of the conn
monwealths by which they have been
selected. The principal object of the
meeting will be to create sentiment in
favor of uniform legislation on inn
portant subjects. movement which
Will commend itself to all citizens who
have any acquaintance with the com
piications which exist today In the
separate state laws. Ten subjects,
completely divorced from political
bias have been selected for special
consideration. They are: Regulation
of Combinations and Trusts. "Regu-
lation of Public Utilities, Taxation"
Insurance and Banking, 'Compen-
sation for Industrial Accidents" "He-
form in Legal Procedure" Pure Food
and Drugs. "Uniformity in Good
Roads Rulding and Automobile Regu-
lations'' aud the commercial bills of
the Uniform State Law commissioners.
l
cessity OF a general agreement among
all the States on these subjects partlc-
uiarly are readily apparent The men
who will meet at New York will not
be able to change the existing laws
or poss new laws. but they will be
able to make intelligent suggestions
and present drafts of uniform bills
to their respective Legislatures when
they are in session. The process of
bringing about the desired changes
must be slow because of the many
complications involved, but a wise di-
recting force in each State working in
harmony with similar force in at
least 81 others ought to make an inn
prnSsicn that will be lasting. There
is tendency on the part OF lcgis
lators today to get closer to the peo-
pie. to work more in harmon with
the popular will and To legislate for
the common good rather than for the
special interests. They will be ready
to listen to suggestions looking To
more uniformity of State laws and it
is not unreasonable to expect that an
other year or two will see advanced
steps taken in this direction. The na-
ton needs such uniformity. but until
comparatively recent date there has
been no organized, intelligent fort to
coordinate the forces of the several
States and direct their energies in the
proper channels. That difficulty now
appears to have been overcome, in
part at least and good results ought
to follow in the not distant future.

The Illinois railroads are having a
physical valuation of their properties.
as q preliminary to contesting the
validity of the two-cent fare law in
the courts. This, which used to be
regarded by the most radical of the
rate regulators as a great weapon for
use against the roads, is now being
dropped by them and seized upon with
equal celerity by the railroads as a
weapon against the rate reducers.
Happily for the public interest, the
physical valuation has not yet been
accepted, in law, as a valid basis from
which to judge of the reasonableness
OF rates, and it is not quite clear how
the Illinois railroads can expect to
make out valid case against two
cent fares from such a standard of
reckoning.
