No Reward offered.

The United States uses be-
tween 40 and so per cent of the
worlds production of tin but
mines only a small quantity. In
1911, according to the United
States Geological Survey, the
output of tin ore in this country
was equivalent to 63 tons of me-
tallic tin, valued at S54,013. TIE
secondary tin recovered in 1911
was a little more than 27 per
cent of the tin imported into the
United States during the year.
For some unknown reason
there is a widely prevalent idea
that the United States offers q
reward for the discovery of a tin
mine that can be worked at a
profit. Many letters are received
by the geological survey eaC h
year asking about this supposed
reward. Where the rumor
started is unknown, but it seems
to be fostered by unscrupulous
or ignorant persons who have
mining stock to sell. The sur
vey's officials state that the
United States does not offer and
so far as known to them never
has offered q, reward for the
discovery Of a tin mine, or any
other mine.

Victor Murdock, the Kansas InsW

Murdock:
Carnegie has offended the natinnal

In Ohio a new funguus parasite has
been discovered during the season oe
1911, which is referred to the genus
ColiOSporium. At Wooster and IN
Paulding county, from which it was
first obtained last spring, the .cosios-
porium appears TO be responsible for
larger amount Of INJURY in 1911 Than
all the others combined. The most
conspicuous symptom Of This earnot

large number of diseased cobs. The
infection may occur either at the base
or at the tip Of the ear; at The base
the whole eGr is involved, in the tip

portion, causing dwarfing and coh

the outside of the cob which embraces

jacent portions Of the kernels. This
disease, together with other carrots
of corn, is being investigated by E,

which expects to publish his results
as soon as sufficiently advanced.

Most corn growers have doubtless
observed an unusual amount Of mold
ed and rotted ears of corn in the crop
Of 1911, as we'll as a great number Of
ears with soft or rotted cObs. Upon
first thought these may be explained
by the combination OF a rather la;e
crop of corn and much rainy weather
during the harvesting period. While
these conditions have contributed
largely no doubt, they are but contri-
butory conditions. The real cause is

TAFT's TRUST POLICY.

Pres dent Taft did am unusual thing
in kindly cOnsantng to act as an ad-
verts'ng attraction for the business
OF his personal fliend, John Wana-
maker.
At the dedication of the new store
building IN Philadelphia ON December
80 he delivered an addreSs eulog,zing
Mr.. Wanamaker's business enterpris
and i'm the course of it care1esSly call
ed attention 10 truths which, in his
official capacity he continually ignores
What he sad was as follows:
:.i,, with no adventftious aid, with
j, no combinations i'm restraint of
competition, but simply by nat
ural growth and adaptation Of
means 10 an end this great busiL
ness was built. -
So 1t is clear that President Taft
-IuD1arS, ,ands guile we'll that there are
concerns which have built up a great
business through "adventtious aid. ~
Otherwise il would hardly have SEEM
ed to him noteworthy enough to men
ZION that Mr.. Wamamaker s business
had been built up without it. Know
ing that much, he must also know at
least some of the concerns which got
such aid and the natme of it. He can
not be altogether aguorGHI. OF the part
played IN building up trusts by pro-
teclre Tariffs, railroad monopolieS,
monopoly of ore beds and other nat
ural resources, patents and oher
forms Of special privilege.
What construction then is to be
placed on his Stance concerning such
matters whsH he deals officially with
the tTust question? Cam he still plead
even the poor excuse of ignorance for
his tariff ve'Oes and his defense of
the policy of protection?
II he may stll honestly claim to
be ignorant of the "adventitious add
which trusts derive from tariffs, then
he must know something about such
aid which they get from other forms
Of special privilege Why has he
never word to say concerning themi
When again he recommends as he
has done before, that silly trifling he
continued along the line of attempted
enforcement of the nousensical Sher-
man antitrust law, the fact win be
cleaner than ever that his main OBJ
jet is to save to the trusts
The "adEentitaous aid" which he
knows quite well they are getting and
removal OF which he knows Just as
we'll would be fatal to their monopO-
Hstic power.
