Gene Stratton- Porter's popular and
fascinating story 'Freckles," in drama
form, comes to the Grand for an en-
gagement of one night on April 9Th.
Neil Twomey, who dramatized Mrs.
Porter's charming story, has evolved
powerful and interest-compelling
play from a tale whose chief charms
lie in its tender simplicity and unaf-
fected naturalness, and at the same
time has retained all of the familiar
characters and important incidents Of
the story.
The almost unlimited scenic posi-
b;lities of the Great Indiana Limber-
lost have been taken advantage OF to
their full value; this together with a
New York company OF unusual excel
lenee assures an event OF unusual inn

BIC RECORD
Of A MINE

Dividends to the amount of S23.-
S39,O67 have been paid to date by the
Goldheld Consolidated Mines Com
pany, as shown by the annual report.
The production OF the company has
amounted to $4O,l36.000. TO which is
to be added 100000 produced by
lessees. and S27OO,OOO by the constit-
uent companies prior to cons solidation.
While tinis is by no means to yet be
written in the record these totals are
impressive.
The future of the mine calls for es-
pecially careful work. The great
high-grade bodies of ore have been
largely mined out and it IS now nee
essary to work around the edges and
on the pillars of old workings Mr..
Albert Burch, who has recently gone
to the property. will have no easy
task. though one he is excellently
qualified to to complete Doubtless
a number of small bodies of high
grade ore will still be found and all
will at least wish that some small
stringer, carefully followed will lead
to new Bonanza.-Mining & Scien-

COMPANY is INCORPORATED
TO PRODUCE POTASH IN u. S,

Considerable interest was aroused
in chemical circles by the report of
the Incorporation Of the American
Trona Corporation at Dover. Del The
company was incorporated with an
authorized capital stock of $12, 500 O00.
Its object is to manufacture potash,
borax and other chemicals from the
alkaH deposits at Searles Lake. in the
Mohave Desert. California. The im-
preston prevailed that if the compa-
ny had discovered a successful proc
ess for the manufacture of these
chemicals it would be Of material i'm
portance to the agricultural interests
Of the country. All of the potash used
here at the present time is imported
from Germany. where its manufacture
is controlled by a syndicate.
1t is used extensively by fertilizer
manufacturers. Il was said that If
competition with the German product
could be furnished by an American
made potash. lower prices for fey
tilizer would probably result. II was
said also that several companies HAD
been previously organized to mana
sart-r, potash here, but had been UNI
successful.

Case of Each Railroad Is
Judged on Its Own Merits
Many Have Narrow Margin Like Frisco Yet Are
in Sound Condition.

Following the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the St Louis and San
Francisco, a decline of from to 3
points or more occurred in the stocks
of a number of railroads whose shares
were already selling at a low figure
In the fresh Outburst of selling that
followed this weeks Minnesota rate
decision. it was inevitable that the
perpleXed financial mind should ask
whether the decline in the price of
a number of non dividend paving
railway shares was simply part of the
general liquidation that was taking
place or whether other less pleasant
differences should be drawn. To such
questions what answer should be
given?
1t is now generally understood that
the Frisco was forced into the hands
Of receivers because it had used up
its credit and was unable to meet
payment on S2,250,O 900 maturing notes
1t would seem, therefore. that the
way to answer the question in mind
is to determine first if any of the
railroads whose shares have been
specially weak has, like the Frisco,
used up its credit, and next. if any
of those companies will be called upon
in the near future to meet maturing
obligations
When Frisco passed into the hands
of receivers, il was pointed out that
for the fiscal year 1912 the company
had earned a bare surplus of S177,O0
over its S14.772, 900 fixed charges. It
was pointed out further that the mar
gin of safety for 1912, that is, the

the school teacher or the country
superintendent under whose direct
authority the clubs have been organ

best arrangement yet devised for the
direction of the farm demonstration
agents is that which applies in Geor-

ters at the State College of AgriCul-
ture and from which direction is Civ

college also emanates the farmers in

cooperating the forces Of agricul-
tural extension, the movt can be ac-
compNshed for the money spent.
Some Important Prescriptions.
Some of the most important mes
sages which the farm demonstration
agents are now carrying out to the
farmers of the South. are deep plow-
ing in the fall and turning under
stalks rather than piling them up to
burn. They advise turning into the
soil all the vegetable matter possible
Thorough preparation of the seed bed
before planting is urged After plant
ing and even before the sprouting Of
the grain, the demonstration agents
are keeping the crust broken to con-
ca hp 80 ID,
soon after a rain as it is possible to
get into the field ana work the ground.
they advise stirring the crust to break
up the capillary opening through
which the sun is sucking the mOis-
ture.
They advise shallow and frequent
cultivation Of corn and cotton This
means cultivators. wecders. harrows.
1t means doing the work four or five
times more quickly and better than
using the old time pillow.
To use machinery on the farm. It
is necessary to get stumps out Of the
field and dynamiting stumps is stress
sed. Growing legumes such as cow
peas, soy beans, velvet beans. clover.
alfalfa, vetch and the like is proba-
bly, urged more than any other crop
because Of their great value as soil
builders
Live stock comes i'm for strong en-
phasis, not only for beef growing and
dairyin~ but for farm power. for pork
production, etc. They advise a sys-
TEN of crop rotation that the farm
most needs.
They encourage fruit growing.

agent is supposed to agitate and en-

for 1911, per- cent for 1910. 9 per

that the ten-year average margin of

A railroad whose present margin

gin of safety for the past ten wears
runs as high as 80 per cent will ex-
perienCe no difficulty in meeting all

years that company has been paving

gin of safety runs under 10 per cent.
however, the case calls for close
study.
However, it by no means follows
that railroad whose margin of safe
ty runs below 10 per cent is a candf-
date for receivership Last year Mis-
sour Pacific did not have any mar
gin of safety; in fact. it reported a
deficit Of $1,979,991. That deficit.
however was not alarming. for those
who studied the Companvs state
ments of earnings found that the
management had simply established
a pOllCy Of spending every available
penny Tor improvements and better
ments. In other words, it was found
that the company earned more than
enough to pay all fixed charges. but
spent Ihe money for Improvements.

South Needs Demonstrating Agents.
The South affords a field of work
for farm demonstration agents unsur-
passed. The Southern farmer has
oeen tied TO one crop and his knowl-
edge Of diversified farming is poor.
Now that he is waking up to the
necessity Of restoring to the land the
fertility which single cropping has
taken, he is in fit frame of mind to
near what any man has to say who
has the seal of authority
Great results should be obtained
through farm demonstration work in
the South during the next few years.
1t viii require money, II Is true, to
hire these soil doctors, but what kind
of an investment can be found in
which public funds can be put that
will pay better?
The basis of prosperity in the South
is agriculture-rather we should say
cotton. 1t ought to be general agri-
culture. Il will have to be if there
is going to be real agricultural prog
ress Cotton should continue to be
the big money crop, but it will he the
bigger because of the practice of gen.
eral agriculture. Facing so serious
a fact, it is not of vital importance
that every means for disseminating
agricultural information be given all
necessary public support?
