They intend to install new water
power which will make a saving of
from $3.50 to $500 ton on the old
steam power formerly used by them.
The South Fork at one time was the
standby of the camp, being the only
property to keep steadily at work all
of one winter, when the rest Of the
camp was idle, but the recent de velop-
ments opened up ore shoots, below the
present mill site, necessitating the in.
stalling of a hoist to deliver the ore to
the mill, adding more expense TO the
already expensive steam power. There
is no reason, with cheap power why
the old standby cannot be made TO pay
hansome dividends.

This test was begun on November

a third more than the pen which were

80 pullets laid 2S eggs. and their av.

Most farmers seem to breed the COW

at an early age; bred again just as
soon as possible after her frst calving;

With such management her unborn

ROOT INJURIES TO PLANT
Many Crops Are Affected by Parasitic

tBy ~. tCLION.) .
Root knot trouble occurs In sandy
types or soil In some sections Of the
United States. Many crops are affect.
ed, including alfalfa. vetch. clovers.
tobacco. potato. sweet potato. water.
melon. cucumber, cantaloupe and to-
matO. Many other crop plants are
affected as well. "A few of the com.
mon weeds. such as pigweed, villa
carrot, %purslane and morning glory
are also subject to root knot troubles.
Engagements OF irregular shape
and size may appear anywhere on the
root system. Affected plants are stunt.
ed in growth and their foliage is a
lighter shade Of green than normal.
This. however. may be hard to de-
tect when a large area IL uniformly

The trouble Is caused by a very
small worm belonging to the group
Of Nematodes. The worm may live
In the soil for months. but quickly die
