Organization of United Tale Products Co

The North Troy Palladium says
cat formal meeting of organization
held in North Troy last week, articles
Of incorporation under Vermont laws
were signed for the purpose of incof-
porating the United Tale Products Co.
with j. Edward Barry, mayor of the
city of Cambridge, Mass, also vice
president of the Guaranty Trust Co.,
of Cambridge, president, and other
officers among whom are the follow
ing-F. W. Norris of Cambridge.
Mass. L. +. Elkins and w. d. Kelley
Of North Troy, and Philip R. Ammid-
on. attorney. of Cambridge. Mass.
The purpose of the company will be
to mine and place on the market
very superior grade Of tale from
valuable deposit of the mineral
which the company controls at S.
Bolton, Que. The enterprise has been
undertaken only after most haustive
research and inquiry as to the quality,
quantity, manufacturing costs and
market value of the mineral. Prof.
Warren of the Mass. Institute Of
technology pronounces the quality to
be in every way equal to the product
of the Italian tale mines, while a
prominent mining engineer estimates
on a conservative basis quantity of
100, 0C0 tons, or sufficient to run a
plant Of 20 tons a day capacity for
more than Is years. AS the verdicts
of these men are beyond question the
outlook for the financial success of
the Undertaking is exceedingly prom
ising. The company plans to erect a
modern plant for manufacturing pur-
poses as soon as enough stock is sub
scribed to defray the expense. The
location OF the plant has not been full
ly decided upon, but it is hoped the
Company will plan to locate in this
town, thereby adding its part to North
! Troy's fourishing industries.

The Nicholson act to encourage

proved special stimulus to better
schools. In Greenville county alone 25
districts voted special taxes in order
to take advantage of the ineasare.
In consequence of the late date Of
opening in some of these schools.
their applications must lie over to the
spring of 1913.
There are still on file in the Office
OF the State superintendent OF educa-

plications, extension applications ana
rural graded school applications. It
is certain that the number and

Jerry Moore, Champion Corn Raiser,
Shucks of Few Words of Praise.
Middle West Wants Some of the
Same Sort in That Territory.

Jerry Moore, of Winona, S. c., at
tracted some attention in Chicago at
the meeting of the National Land
Show. Jerry, as everybody knows, is
the champion corn grower and one
financier of the middle West called for
100000 more like him. The Chicago
Fribune tells the story:

per cent. Jerry Moore also played his
part in this amazing access of pros
perity. South Carolina now ranks
18th among the agricultural States of
the union. Ten years ago the State
was 21st.
Praise From E. d. Hubert.
Edmund d. Hubert of the Mer-
chants Loan and Trust company, a
bank which makes large farm loans,
talked about Jerry Moore:
"There is no question about the
value of Jerry Moore to South Caro-
lina," he said. "Illinois and many
Western states are opening a wide
field for boys willing to go back to
the land Soil experts are in i'm
mense demand. The agricultural
schools are not turning out half
enough.
"The tendancy among middle West
ern farmers is to buy more land
Instead of trying to double the crops
they strive to double the acreage.
Intensive farming will bring the
farm houses closer together, stimu-
late social life, and create community
interest. Jerry Moore is helping this
along"
The national corn show is to be
held at Columbia, S. c., January 27
to February 8, 1913, IS ,s..si.
