WEST VIRGINIA CLAWS.

In the 10-year period from 1900 to
1910 the value Of pottery products
made in West Virginia increased from
sG&1.Sf1 to $2.G75,55S. a gain of more
Than 323 per cent And West Vr.
siuia now ranks third among the
states in this industry. The value of
fbe pottery output Of West Virginia
however, is not in keeping with the
states extensise supply of high grade
clays, which from analysis are Known
to be especially suited to this class Of
manufacture.
Every requirement for the industry
is abundantly available in West Vir-
ginia more so perhaps Than in any
other state in the union Bearing
upon this claim are the following ex.
tracts from a report Of the state Geo
logical Survey:
"rho clay Industry of West Virgi-
MIA las promising future outlook.
and when the many undeyeloped de
posts become known and are carefully
considered in connection with the
cheap fuel excellent railroad and wat
er transportation facilities, and the
short distance of its shipping routes
to large cities, the industry is bound
to increase and develop into one Of
the very prominent sources Of wealth
to the state.
THE analysis and the physical
tests Of West Virginia CLAWS made by
the Survey show that these are equal
in quality to those found in other
states, where The clay product output
is considerably larger. The reason
for this market contrast in outputs
cannot be explained by the absence
of good clay deposits in West Virgil
mia, nor by lack of cheap and excel
lent transportation facilities. nor by
remoteness from market; it is due en-
tirely to lack Of Development. depend
ing in many cases on lack of appre-
citation OF the value Of these deposits"
West Virginia CLAWS are not only
suited for pottery, but also for the
manufacture of refractory, paving and
structural materials Of various kinds.
Strongly backing the purity and
abundance of clays in West Virginia
is the states vast supply of natural
gas and coal, which reduces the fuel
expense TO the lowest minimum, while
transportation facilities cannot be eX-
celed for distribution throughout the
country,-Fairmont West Virginian.

THE RUSSIAN THISTLE IN ALFALFA HAY
Farmers Should Be Careful That They
Do Not Buy Hay Infested With
This Pest.

College Station, Tex. Farmers
should be very careful that seeds of
Russian thistle, one of the most per.
nicious Of all weed pests, are not
brought to their farms through al.
falfa hay that has been grown in
regions infested by this plant.
DR.. Q. M. Ball, professor of biology
at the A. and M. College, has recently
discovered this weed, together with
living seeds, in alfalfa hay that was
imported from the Western States.
Numberless warnings have already
been issued by the college in regard
to the danger from alfalfa and other
small seeds which contain seed of
Russian thistle. This weed is one
that inspires q very lively dread In
every farmer. 1t is far more to be
feared than Johnson grass, since it
Is wholly useless, and since it is very
much more difficult to eradicate
than this much-feared grass. There
should be the greatest caution In buy.
Ing alfalfa hay, especially that ship
ped in from Colorado, Utah and New
Mexico. The thistle can be readily
detected by It's stemmy structure and
by the bristly or spiny leaflets which
will prick the fingers when touched,
or when drawn through the hand.
