UTAH's RECORD IN 1911.
Made increase in the Production OF
Five Metals

Utah IS one OF the few states which
made a consistent increase last yeai
in the production OF the five metals
gold silver. copper. lead and zinc
Nearly every state showed an increase
ir one or more OF the metals, but the
| record Of Utah is greater in that each
OF the metals mentioned was
produced I'm a larger amount than in
! the previous year.
Copper possibly leads i'm the per
centage Of gain. for the output inI9ll
shows very strong increase over the
previous year, the figures for the two
years being l46,s6O,s27 pounds and
| l27597072 pounds respectively.
In the record of a steady. even l..
may be said a rapid rise. in the out
put Of this metal, the camp of Bing-
ham takes the lead. The figures
which follow reveal the great progress
which is being made by this camp
as copper producer: In 1907 the
output from the camp was 45,4S1. .s64
pounds; which was increased the fol-
lowing year 10 7l.155,740 pounds; ris-
ing TO s2,56O,34O pounds in 1903: to
l13,725.2 pounds in 1910, and 70 12s.-
ss5. S65 pounds in 1911.
The other two districts producinr
copper in quantity are the Tintic and
the Park City, the output OF these
comparing as follows; Tintic in 1910

pounds in 1911; Park City, l,423, ,62S|
pounds in 1910 as against 1881 19O|

Gold also shows a strong Increase
In output being Is per cent greater
than in 1910. In 1910 the output was
l95,052.l1 ounces. having value of
s4,032,O ,Os5; in 1911, 227217.2s ounces
having a value OF s46s6,s ,s9S. The Rng-
nam district was responsible for a
large percentage of the total outpu:
from the state; the Tintic district also
being large producer of this metal.
Three camps, or districts. were re-
sponsible for the most of the silver
output. the figures issued by the Unit
ed States Geological Survey creditng
the Tintic district with 5.5l4,702
ounces. the Bingham district with p
7s6,Sl0 ounces and the Park City dis
trict with 3,42s,65l ounces. The latter
district made the greatest advance
in silver output. its gain over the
year 1910 being S56.SS0 ounces The
tctal output of the state for the year
was 12,473,7s7 ounces, valued at Sc,

Of the lead output, the figures being: |
Park City. 47,637,642 pounds: Bingham
46,576,S37 pounds, and Tintic. 23.572,- |
s66 pounds The latter district shows |
a decrease as compared with the pre-
vious year. but this was more than
made up in the increases shown by |
the other districts. The total value |
of the output in 1911 was S6.142.354.

throw the second stone. 1t has been
rule on our ranch TO use arsenate of
lead for the destruction of the codling
moth little stronger than some good
men recommend. We want to be sure
about the matter. So I would prefer
to use the Iime-sulphur little over

is we'll to remember that the stronger
solution either of the Iime-sulphur or

THE STRENGTH OF LIME-SULPHUR

The question is asked, GLOW strong
should the lime sulphur wash be to
destroy the San Jose scale?" This
wash was first used for this purpose
in California Then salt was used as
one of the ingredients and the strength
of the solution was not satisfactorily
determined. Those who need this
wash with which to combat the scale
owe much to Prof. g. V. Piper for
settling certain things about this
compound. Piper ten years ago was
the Professor of Entomology in the
State College at Pullman, Washington.
The first thing that he settled was
that salt is not necessary for the de-
struction of the scale. At the present
time we hear no more about the use
of salt in this solution. Some thought
that salt made the solution stick
better. Whatever may be true as to
the sticking of the wash by the use
O salt it is now known not to be
needed, for the solution sticks long
enough to etfectually kill the scale
with the salt left out.
fProfessor Piper carried out
thorough testing of lime sulphur In
killing the scale in the orchard OF
Mr.. La Toilette on Snake river, few
miles south of Pullman. Here he

IRRIGATING ORCHARDS.


Who is an expert? He is one who
knows more in some particular line
than the average person does. No
man knows eyerything-in fact the
best informed people know but very
small part of all things. 1t is no dis
credit to anyone when he is asked a
question out Of his special line of

reading in one of our Eastern eX-
changes what man has said about

presume that as an engineer he is an
expert and is perfectly reliable but
when he comes to delivering himself
on the irrigation of orchards he shows
himself to be ignorant Of some very
important matters relative to the use
of water in orchards. He sets forth
the task he has before him in the
following language: Glow much
water should an apple tree get to in
sure perfect crop this year and pro-
vide for another one next year?'
That is good start but this expert
assumes that certain points are set
tied and he starts out wrong and will
continue to 60 wrong unless he can
be made to see his error. He thinks
that the reason why there are. success
sions of good and bad crops is owing
TO the fact that there is deficiency
of water at the time of the formation
of the fruit buds for the next year s
crop. He states his case thus:
"Apple trees need the largest supply
of moisture during the time that the
fruit is growing rapidly, and the
theory is that as the following years
fruit buds are being formed about
this time, a deficient supply Will
stunt the growth of the fruit buds
which will cause a short crop the
following year. - This man is no
doubt a competent engineer but is
absolutely lacking in knowledge OF
plant physiology. II he succeeds in
his experiments and furnishes valu-
able information he will have to learn
something of this kind of physiology.
Plant physiology is defined by Webster
as follows: "The science that treats
of the vital functions performed by
the organs of plants. "
There are two fatal mistakes in this
engineers statement quoted above
and they are, first, that fruit buds
form "during the time when the fruit
is rapidly growing" and, second, that

tried different strengths of the solu
ton. Soon after he had finished his
experiments on La Follette's orchard
he delivered a lecture at the meeting
of the Northwest Fruit Growers AS

years ago the past February. I heard
that lecture and made notes for The
Ranch of his positions. Soon after
Piper issued a bulletin covering

that lecture he recommended what be
styled the lib and The LILA formulas
What these mean are one pound oil
sulphur, one pound of lime and three
gallons of water or the same amounts
of lime and sulphur and four gallons
Of water.
In April of the same year. Professor
Piper visited me on my fruit ranch
in the Yakima valley and stayed over
night and we had long confer ence
relative to the control of the Sar
Jose scale for it was just making its
first appearance on our farm. Very
naturally I sought his advice on the
use of the lime sulphur solution and
got it freely. 1 also took him in
my buggy to the fruit ranch of P. j.
Flint, some two miles away. Mr..
Flint had the scale pretty bad in his
prune orchard of which he had some
Is acres. Here we found men spray
ing pune trees using the lila formula
recommended by Professor Piper in
his bulletin. Piper carefully examin.
ed the trees that had been sprayed
the longest. He said to me: IT am
little afraid that solution is not
strong enough for l fear that some oil
the scale on these sprayed trees are
not dead. l want you to keep a watch
on the use of the LA formula and
report to me.' This word Of caution
so influenced me that We never felt
safe in using the wash as weak as this
LA formula. We have almost in
variably used formula between the
two. We generally use Is pounds oil
sulphur, Is pounds of lime and sc
gallons of water. This strength
always kills the scale ettectually.

weaker solution but | am afraid to
try it and will not advise any one else
to use it.
A weaker solution of this wash may
possibly be used as a fungicide fol
apple scab, bitter rot and perhaps fol
the oyster shell bark louise, but
doubt the wisdom of using a com
pound that is not dead shot for the
scale. l even have some doubts
about depending on the lime-sulphul
wash as a fungicide. There is {
difference among scientific experts a:
to the ACCESSIBILITY of the lime sulphur

in dispute for that is conceded but
the difference arises as to whether

TALKS TO BIG CROWD
w. ]. Bryan and E. G. Dunn at
Penn Auditorium.

Between 5000 and 1000 people
were gathered at the Penn College
Auditorium before one o'clock this
afternoon to hear Bryan. While the
crowd gathered the Iowa Brigade
band played several selections. The
crowd was very impatient from the
start, several yells being given for all
the candidates from Taft to Chain.
About 1920 some of the party arrived
and o. N. Downs, as chairman of the
meeting, introduced Hon. Dan W.
Hamilton, of Sigourney, who in turn
introduced Hon. F. Dunn, of Mason
City, democratic candidate for gov
ernor. Mr. Dunn made brief speech
and then yielded the floor to Mr.. Ham
ilton, who spoke until Mr.. Bryan ar
rived. Both men spoke mostly on the
tariff question and of their confidence
of the democratic party winning.
Mr.. Bryan arrived about 2:10. He
was escorted to the platform amid
the cheers of the assembly, by Mayor
Reynolds and platoon of the police
force. He was given quite an ovation,
which was renewed when he introduc-
ed by Mayor Reynolds. He open
ed his remarks by saying that the peo-
pie should not only elect a demo-
cratic president but house and SEN
ate as well. He stated that the re-
publican party would be trimmed
right and he was glad he had lived to
see it.

BRYAN GETS HAIR CUT
The "Peerless One" Takes Advant-
age Stop to Improve Appearance.

William Jennings Bryan had his
hair cut in Oskaloosa. While the
crowd of people gathered at the Penn
college Auditorium listened to talk
by Edward G. Dunr, candidate far
governor of Iowa on the democratic
state ticket, Mr.. Bryan was whirled
in an automobile to the Hotel Lacey,
where quarters had been engaged and
where the party accompanying the
campaign orator took dinner. Mr..
Bryan was travel stained and looked
tired He gave an order for dinner
to be served in his room, and while
the meal was in preparation he sent
for a barber and ordered his locks
trimmed. Dinner was served in his
room in the meantime and Mr.. Bryan
partook of the food while the barber
was at work with him. He was de-
liberate but speedy and made no false
moves. He was ready for the car
again in remarkably short time con-
sidering the things he had accom-

Delays were experienced all along
the line from Des Moines by the spe-
cial train furnished by the Rock Isl.
and. The train was late in reaching
Grinnell and the NJ. & St. l.. was late
in getting out of that place and New
Sharon. The hour was almost half
past one o'clock before the train
pulled into the Oskaloosa station
Automobiles we're waiting. The
campaign party alighted from the
special Pullman. Way through the
crowd on the platform was provided
by Mayor S. V. Reynolds and his pc
lice force Mr.. Bryan was taken to
car and others of the party were
seated in autos in waiting and were
soon enroute to the Hotel Lacey.
One of the cars bearing Mr.. Dunn
and friends was taken to the college
where the crowds had been in wait
ing since half past twelve o'clock. Mr.
Dunn engaged the attention of the
crowd and prepared the way for the
gentleman from Nebraska ..

Penn college Auditorium and many
unable to gain points of advantage
stood outside in the effort to be

Ollie S. Ellis, second vice-president
of the Western Grocer Co., was badly
injured last evening when he Tell
through a trap door into the base

at Northwood, Iowa, breaking his
fright leg about five inches above the
knee. This is the same leg in which
Mr.. Ellis is so severely afflicted with
Iinfiammatory rheumatism. In tele-

Mr.. Ellis also came very near being
seriously injured in a train wreck
last Sunday morning. lie and his
wife were in Dubuque Saturday and
started for Albert Lea Saturday night.
While enroute their train ran into
