RANKS HIGH IN MINERAL WEALTH
Maryland Stands Twenty-Eighth AS
PrOduCer

In review of the mineral wealth of
Maryland, made by the experts of the
Geological Survey, the statement is
made that in 1911 this State produced
ores, clay products, ETC., valued at $12,-
840,892.
This shows that the State stands
twenty-eighth on the list of mineral pro-
ducers, and that among the Southern
States only Alabama. Tennessee and
Virginia make a better showing than
MARYLAND.
As is well known, the most valuable
mineral mined in the State Is coal, but
it is also shown by the Survey that
vast quality of other minerals is produc
ed. and that in variety, Maryland stands
even higher in the list than in the value
of its products,
The statement shows that cement,
clay products, copper, feldspar, IN
fusorial earth, iron ore, pig iron, lime,
quartz, sand and gravel, sand-lime brick,
slate, stone, tale and soapstone are in
cluded in the list of minerals yielded up
by Maryland mines.
In it's general review of the Maryland
mineral wealth the Survey says.
''The principal mineral product of
Maryland is coal, mined in Allegany and
Garrett counties, in the western part of
the State. The value Of the output of
the States total.
Next to coal, the claY-working in
dustry is the most important branch of
mining in Maryland, is per cent of the
total value being from clay pits. The
principal clay product is building brick,
and the principal producing locality is in
the vicinity of Baltimore.
Third in Importance are the quarries,
which yield ~ per cent. of the total
value. The principal stone quarries are
granite, the quarries being located in
Cecil, Hartford, Howard, Montgomery
and Baltimore counties and Baltimore
city,"
! Inc value ol IHe mdTyldHu iron ore III
1911 was $16l 900 the value of copper
was S23, 600. while the value of the more
important minerals is not given IN def
mite figures except for groups of States.
Maryland ranks fifth among the States
in the production of feldspar and in
fusorial earth, sixth in slate, ninth in
pig iron, twelfth in coke and thirteenth
/ in coal.

Will Distribute Basket Willow Cut
tlnpS

The Department of Agriculture is
getting ready to fill requests for the
basket willow cuttings grown last year
on its experimental farm at Arlington,
Va. Distributions of these cuttings
takes place early in March each spring,
to farmers and others who wish to make
trials of basket willow on lands too wet
for other crops. From so to 100 cut
tings are given each person.
The distribution is not mere giving
away of Government material to per-
sons who desire to get something free;
because it is required that each recipient
of cuttings shall make a report of the
treatment given and the results obtain
ed. Several select varieties are included
in each set that is distributed, and the
aim is to secure information as to the
best variety for each locality, since no
one kind can be relied upon to yield
maximum results over wide range of
territory.
In the basket willow Investigations
carried on at the Arlington Farm, Airing
ton, Va, and at Ames, Iowa, by the
Forest Service, particular attention has
been given to the development of
American species for basket making
purposes. The European species now
commonly used have never proved them
selves entirely adapted to American con
ditions and are as a rule less thrifty
than the native species. At present
there is at Arlington willow garden
containing nearly 500 Totes gathered
from all parts of the country and repre-
senting practically every species and
variety found in the United States and
Canada.
A system of selections which has been
carried on for several years is already
indicating which strains show the best
basket willow characteristics for Ameri-
can conditions

shows the extent to which this may
be put.
On the other hand the Govern
mcnt makes and enforces a lot OF
arbitrary rules against the publisher,
who pays for his mail, and who helps
support the government at every
turn. The department forces the
paper man to practically throw this
business open to the public, prevents
him from publishing what appears TO
be legitimate business. says when and

When il is considered that thous-

by Senators and Congressman and
the newspapermas is told that he
has no privileges, it rather makes the
quill driver sit up and take notice.
If we remember right the papers

halls. and they in turn have passed
a lot OF laws that are anything but
pleasant or reasonable. Every time

Let Us Settle 1t.

The Pocahontas Times wants the
matter of woman's suffrage in West
Virginia settled as soon as possible,
and its view is rather sensible one.
The Times says:
This thing OF women voting has
pgone far enough. Let us get to work
on the matter and bring it to vote
in this state. There is no use hang
ing around and being afraid to sub.
NIT matters to the voters of the
state when it can be done at so lit
tie cost and expense. We pride our
selves on having a referendum law
good enough for the most advanced
Let the legislature submit an
amendment to the constitution and
let the qualified voters Of the state
pass on it at the next general cleo
ton. 1t is a sportsman's proposition
to allow the males decide by secret
ballot whether they will divide the
vote with the women folks. AS a mat
ter Of fact If considerable number
though Tar less than a majority were
to vote in favor of it, it would Sbe
proof conclusive that the women who
represent the better half of the
goodness and the sentiment of the
country .should have the ballot.
There is no use to argue a matter
very long when it can he put to the
test by a vote as early as we can do
such a thing in this state. Let the
Legislature submit it. No lobbyist
will have the hardwood to suggest
that there is no demand for such a
vote after the late experience of say
ing the same thing about the tenn
perance vote of the state. The lob
bysts kept the prohibition amend
ment from beng submitted for
years by the argument that the SEN
timent CT the state was against even
voting on the question, snd when 1t
was submitted it got over ninety
thousand majority. If the women
can win their fight by not having a
vote upon their political future they
will certainly be entitled to the vic
tory won under such a handicap.
our mind has probably not been en-
tirely made up on the way we would
vote at such an election, but we
know that we will receive ample and
minute instructions by the time the
election is held, and It will be very
intelligent vote when we do cast 1t.
Let the legislature in the interest
of peace and fairness submit this
important matter to the people of
West Virginia at the election to be
held in November, 1914.
