GLOVER AND vE1CH
SEED PRICES SOAR
European War May Render it
Inadviseable for Farmer to
Sow These Cover Crops

Prices for imported crimson
clover and hairy vetch seeG
have recently shown such 9
marked upward tendency that
specialists of the department
fear that the cost of these seed
of which Europe is the chief
source, will interfere with the
increasing use of these legumi-
nous cover crops. In fact, it is
feared that the prices of the
seed of these legumes may go SO
high as to make it inadvisable
to plant them this year.
Before the present European
conditions arose, crimson clover
seed was selling at from 81 to SIS
per bushel. Up to August Is,
there was scarcity of this seed
in the United States, owing to
the fact that the receipts from
Europe were smaller than usual.
The prices then advanced to
from $3.50 to $500 per bushel.
Since that date importations
have continued to arrive, until
there is now more imported
seed available for fall seeding
than there was in this country
year ago at this time. This
seed, according to the depart
ment's information, was all i'm
ported at approximately the
same price that sold for 81 to SIS
per bushel in the early part of
the season. The present high
price, therefore, is regarded by
the department as unwarranted,
from the standpoint of the sup
ply and the import price of the
seed. Some dealers are continu-
ing to sell at the former price,
but these are exceptions.
If the present high is main
tanned, the specialists are doubt
full whether crimson clover can
be profitably used as a green
manure crop for seeding in
corn or on vacant ground, or UNI
der other conditions where the
catch is not reasonably certain.
Under such conditions they
point out that it will be better
practice to sow rye this fall and
use the difference in price in adj
ding nitrogen to the soil in the
form of nitrate of soda or some
other highly heterogeneous fertili-
ger. The rye will afford a win
ter cover preventing washing
and teaching, and can be plowed
under in the spring to add HUI
mus to the soil.
When crimson clover is being
used regularly as a winter cover
crop in orchard culture, or
where local experience indicates
that a good catch and a good
crop are practically certain, a
higher price for the seed will no
loubt be justified.
A somewhat similar condition ,
Exists with reference to hairy
fetch seed. There has been ap-
'roximately six-sevenths as
much seed imported since Nov
mber 1, 1913, as in the year |
'revious. This shortage, how
yer, is partly counterbalanced
y the increasing domestic pro- E
uction of hairy vetch seed.
the price of hairy r
etch seed is found to be exhor-
liant, the same change in farm
ractice is recommended as that
uggested in the case of crimson
lover.

COPPER SURPLUS PLACED
AT 900, 900 900 POUNDS

The Copper Producers Association
has issued no statement since that
for June, when there was a copper
surplus of JOG, 100000 pounds Els
timating the July, August and Sept
ember production at 400, 900, 900
pounds exports during that time at
1856 100000 pounds and domestic de-
liveries at 10000, 900 pounds, the
Boston News Bureau statistican fig
ures that the surplus during these
three months has increased 114,-
900, 600 pounds, bringing the total
surplus at present up to $4,000 900
pounds. This is, of course, far lar
ger than any surplus which has &C
cumulated since the Copper Produc-
er's figures were first published in
1909, but it is to be borne in mind
that when mine output is again in
creased to normal the refinery out
put cannot for three months be cor
~rcspondingly restored The drop in
surplus should then be quite as rapid
as has been the recent accumulation.

MICHIGAN STANDS HIGH
IN MINERAL PRODUCTION

Michigan, eighth among the States
in the value of it's mineral produc-
ton, owes it's prominence as a min
ing state to its great wealth in two
metals-iron and copper. Accord
ing to a statement issued by the Uni
ted States Geological Survey, in CO.
operation with the Michigan State
Survey. Michigan ranks second in the
production of iron ore, being exceed
ed by Minnesota, and fourth in the
production of copper, being exceeded
by Arizona, Utah and Montana. In
the less important BRANCHES of the
mining industry Michigan ranks first
in the production of salt. bromine,
calcium chloride and sand-lime
brick, second in the production of
grindstones, and third in the produc-
ton of gypsum.
AS a result of the trouble in the
copper mines of Michigan in 1913
the output for the year was barely 60
per cent of that for 1912, the recov-
TdDle CoItShlS vi Tic OlSS hllncu
in 1913 being estimated at 1885,
400 pounds, with a value of $21,-
057 27S. The production of iron
ore, on the other hand, uninterrupt-
ed by labor strife, decreased only
slightly from 12,797,46S long tons
while the value showed a decided
gain, from $29,0O3 163 to $33,479,-
954. The increase in the value of
the iron ore. however, was less than
one-third the decrease in the value of
copper.
Michigan stands we'll up in the
list of States in the manufacture of
cement, the production showing a
substantial increase from 3,651, 094
barrels in 1912 to ~4,0S1,2S1 barrels
in 1918, while the value increased
from $3,145,0O1 to $~4,22S,S79. In
the quantity and value of salt pro-
duced Michigan and New York have
frequently a~lternated as first in rank,
Michigan having had first place for
the last three years. The production
in 1913 exclusive of rock salt)
amounted TO 10,S29,307 barrels, val
ued at S3,05i,532. against 10,271,-
10 barrels, valued at S2,743,3S9, in
1912.
The other commercial mineral pro-
ducts of Michigan are coal, coke clay
products, gypsum, sand n gravel
limestone, gems, graphite iamor-
Ehorus), lime, manganiferous ore,
mineral paints, mineral waters nat
ural gas, petroleum. quartz, scythe-
stones, and silver. The total value
of the mineral products in Michigan
in 1913 was $72,143,211, against
$50, G62,4S6 in 1912.

OREGON'S MINERAL
PRODUCTION IN 1913

The value of gold produced in
Oregon reached Il ,627,710 in 1913.
This is an increase of more than
100 per cent over the value for 1912,
according to a statement just issued
from figures compiled by the United
States geological survey in co-opera-
tion with the state of Oregon. Ore
CONS output of clay products for
1913, exclusive of pottery, is valued
at $771,795, compared with $734,-
226 in 1912. The production of
sand and gravel increased from l.
O67,634 tons in 1912 to Lap, 1852
tons in 1913, but decreased some
what in value. The value of the
stone produced, however, increased
from $26S,OO2 to $357,49S. There
was a slight increase in the produc-
ton of coal, from 41,637 tons, val
ued at $1OS,276, in 1912, to 49,
O64 tons, valued at $116,724, in
1913. Other mineral products of
the state are copper, gems, gypsum,
lead, lime, mineral waters, platinum
and silver.
The total value of the mineral
products of the state increased from
$~2,553,549 in 1912 to $3,563,919 in
1913.

RENO Man WINS
DAMAGE CONTEST
+. ID. BALE AWARDED $4,000 IN
LIEU OF 100000 SHARES
OF MINING STOCK

The jury which heard testimony
in the suit of F. d. Bale against the
Gold Range Mining company for
s12,5OO damages claimed as the re-
suit of the failure of the defendant
company to deliver to him 1000 0
shares of stock in favor of the
plaintiff, awarding the damages ask
ed for, which included railroad fare
paid by Bale for trips to Wheeling,
w. Va, in his efforts to ecure a
settlement of his claims, and a sum
to represent salary lost by the plain
tiff during these excursions. The
case was tried before Judge Lam
gan of Ormsby county. Bale, the
plaintiff, is now in the hardware
business in Reno.
In 1909 Bale located mining
claims at Sodaville, which later were
sold to l.. G. Gray of Wheeling, who
organized a company in which Bale
was to receive 100000 shares of
stock. Half of these were delivered
to Bale, but the remaining 100000
he claimed never to have received.
The company developed the claims
and made some money, the value OF
the 100000 shares being now, &C
cording to Bale, $4,000. He was
informed that Gray caused the stock
to be issued him with the under
standing that he would deliver it to
Bale. This, however, he failed to
do, hence the suit.
James N. Noble of Wheeling, Sec
rotary of the company, came to Reno
to testify for the defendants. His
was the last testimony taken. The
jury took the cas- under advise
ment at 1 O'Clock, and returned its
verdict, which was a sweeping vic
tory for the Reno man, shortly be-
fore 5 o'clock.-Reno Journal.

The S~uffragists and War

To the Editor: - An article head
ed "SOcialism's Moral Collapse" in
the Independent of October IL, calls
attention to what has proved to be
the utterly unfounded character OF
the socialists claim that they could
and would make war impossible.
The writer, a socialist, laments bit
terly the fact hat the socialists of
the countries now at war did not
promptly Joined the armies being
sent out to kill their brother work
men of other lands! Now that the
socialists can no longer claim to
have the will or the power to pre-
vent war. the suffragists have taken
up the slogan and are crying on
every side Give us the vote and We
will prevent war;"
That this claim has no more foun-
dation than that of the socialists is
being shown by testimony from wo-
men of various lands. Christobel
lecture on the war, assures the re-
porters that if English women could
vote they would have been as ready
to declare war as tht men, and
would have been better prepared.
The wife of a prominent German
who is working to raise a German
relief fund in this country declares
that if German women had had the
vote they would have been practical
" unanimous for the war. Can
even a s%uffragist think that the wo-
men of France, after the women of
Germany had voted for war, would
have been willing, in order that
their men need not fight, to let the
Germans take Paris? New Zealand,
where women vote, and which is far
enough way from the scenes Of war
to keep out of it If she chose, is
sending thousands OF troops to the
fight.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-10-31

Ida Hustled Harper, the we'll
known suffrage writer and one of
the few American suffragists who
has some understanding of European
conditions, admits that the claim
that women's votes would have pre-
vented this war is untenable. She
says:
IF women in Europe could vote.
would the present widespread war
have taken place? This is a ques-
ton often asked, and by the more
radical suffragists it is answered in
the negative. This view should be
somewhat modified. There is almost
universal male suffrage in Euro
pean countries. but in none of them
DO the voters have any voice in de-
Caring war. and in only two, France
and Great Britain, does it rest with
the elected parliaments to go into
or stay out of a Women, there
fore, eve though endowed with the
force of the ballot, would have been
powerless to avert it. In France it
is a fight for life, and in England it
would have been eventually if she
had not gone to the relief of France
and Belgium. How then could wo-
men have dared to prevent it even
had they possessed the power? 1t
is impossible to show that the pres
ent war would not have taken place
had they been voters"
If America is ever forced into
war will the ten states where wo-
men vote refuse to help? 1t is diff
ficult to believe this. If that time
ever comes. We shall see the "col-
lapse" of this claim of the suffra-
gists, as we have now seen the col
lapse of the socialists. The strength
of their claim is that they cannot
be called upon to prove it!

cred by the bureau of crop estimates
of the United States department of
agriculture. the yield per colony of
bees for the present year was fifty
pounds compared with seventy-five
