about s6.35 in 1912, compared with
S4.se in 1911, but extreme variation
seems to have been less in 1912 than
in the previous year. Although high
than in 1911, the price paid was un-
satisfactory to the miner. 1t ranged
from $3.50 to s7.25 per unit for ore

The sixth demonstration farm on
the Iron Mountain tracks of the Mis-
souri, Pacific Iron Mountain System
has been located at Arcadia, Mo-, on
the grounds of the Arcadia College
adjoining the ~right-of-way of the rail-
road. Rev. Father John Adrian, of
the College, who has been a student
of scientific farming for some time,
will be in charge under the general
supervision of Mr.. L. A. Markham,
Commissioner of Agriculture for the
Iron Mountain. Eighteen acres will be
placed undercultivation at once, and
within a yearor SO the farm will be ex-
tended to twenty-five OF thirty acres.
The business interests and residents of
Arcadia united in a movement to have
the railroad select this site. The farm
will also be used in conjunction with
the course in agriculture included in
the colleges curriculum. A speciality
will be made of fruits, particularly
apples, which, it is believed, can be
grown as successfully there as in
southwestern Missouri and northwest
ern Kansas. Small fruits, such as
grapes and berries, particularly
strawberries, will be raised, and vege-
table farming will be a feature, as
the ground is ideal for that pur-
pose. Corn, oats, clover, alfalfa ant
other staple crops will be given at
tention, and a systematic plan of croI
rotation will be employed. Methods
of improving soils and increasing croI
yields will also be a feature of the work
