THE JAPANESE POTATO
KING OF CALIFORNIA

If present indications do not fail,
George Shima, the extensive Japanese
potato grower of the delta section west
of Stockton, viii realize about $780,
600 net from 10000 acres this season.
Many other seasons during the past
dozen years have ended with Mr..
Shima many thousands of dollars
ahead for his few months of activity.
When il is remembered that only a
few years ago the prominent Japanese
grower of today was a laborer work
ing industriously in the spud fields,
the worth of he present grower, who is
frequently hearalded as the '"potato
king and accredited with having a
corner on the market, will be more
readily recognized. Shima as not a
speculator--h is a producer. He has
good business sense and sells when
the market is high, rather than when
glutted and low. He takes advantage
of the season by storing his yields
when prices are poor and Fastening
them to market when quotations are
in his favor. He has proved himself
not only level-headed in business
sense, but skilled agriculturist. He
chooses good lands, cultivates them
scientifically. and uses brains and in
dustry in everything that he does.
Between his potato crops he gets more
out of the land than others, because,
with intelligent effort, he plants beans,
onions and other rotating crops, and so
conducts his vast acreage that every
minute of the year it is income prop
erty; and while he is getting all out of
the soil that it will produce by scien-
fife methods Of cultivation he at no
time impoverishes it. His long career
in the delta regions has proved him to
be a producer of quality and devel-
oper of soil capabilities. es.-Stockton In

QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION
INCREASES IN UNITEu STATES

The production of quicksilver in the
United States in 1911 was the greatest
since 1907, the total output being 2l,-
256 flasks of rs pounds each, valued
at 1927 ,9S9, against production of
20,601 flasks, valued at 1858, s,l53, in
1910, according to an advance chapter
ON Quicksilver in 1911,' by H. d.
McCaskey, from "Mineral Resources
of the United States for 1911" Cali
fornia was the greatest producer in
1911, with 1850 flasks, valued at
1867 ,749, and the remainder of the
quicksilver came from Nevada and
Texas. While there was an increase
in the output of quicksilver last wear,
the amount produced was over 5000
TASKS below the average annual out
put of 26609.5 flasks for the decade
ending with 1911. Until Texas began
production in 1899 California supplied
practically the entire output of the
United States for the last half of the
nineteenth century.
Quicksilver is consumed mainly in
the manufacture of illuminate for ex-
plosive caps, of vermilion, of drugs, of
electric lighting apparatus, of scien-
tifc apparatus and in metallurgv in
the recovery of gold and silver (prin-
cipally gold by amalgamaticn.
The annual domestic consumption
appears to have been in recent years
from $4,000 to 2l 900 flasks, or about
equal to the domestic production. The
decrease of domestic stocks and higher
prices in 1911, however, caused an in
creased importation of quicksilver
the heaviest in many years--from 661
pounds, valued at 1891. in 1910, to
AL ,944 pounds, or 6,29S flasks, valued
at 1921, 1856, in 1911. On the other
hand, our exports of quicksilver de-
creased from 1923 flasks, valued at
$91 ,007, in 1910, to 291 TASKS, valued
at $13,995, in 1911-the smallest ex
port in many years.

BE it further resolved, That we
demand the withdrawal from this

As Bryan and Belmont are both
