CHAMPION POTATO
GROWER IS HOWORED
Merle Hyer, IL Years of Age,
Home From Trip to
Washington.

Professor and Mrs. j. C.. Hogenson and
the champions Of the potato clubs and
home economies clubs OF the state are
home from Washington, D, C., after at
tending the national convention OF club
leaders and champions. Accompanying
Professor and Mrs Hogenson were Merle
EIyer. champion boy potato grower of the
United States. and Miss Hattie Holbrook,
Utah champion IN home economies.
Merle Hyer, the Utah champion po-
tato club boy. was proclaimed United
States champion at the convention, he
having produced a yield OF 3S2 bushels
per acre. His nearest competitor was
Massachusetts, boy. with a record yield
of lI2 bushels TO the acre. Young Iyer
was given the privilege OF selling his seed
potatoes under the All brand label.
The All stands for the development
and union OF tae head, heart. hand and
hoa lth OF children. The label stands for
the highest quality Of potatoes produced
by the 100000 members OF the potato
clubs OF tho United States.
ON the return trips the cities OF Phila-
dephia. New York. Buffalo and Chicago
were visited, In addition TO Niagara Falls.
Going. the party stopped at Denver, st,
spent in Washington. While taere. the
Utahns were greeted in the White house
by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, who received
the visitors In place OF the president,
who was III at the time

IN GOLD AND
SILVER METALLURGY

substantial improvement has been
made in 1913 in methods OF recovering
gold and silver, but few striking Innova- :
lions were brought forward AS has
oeen the case In recent years the cyanide
process was the most important in point
OF quantity and value OF metals recov-
cred Its use was extended TO the treat
ment OF a greater variety of ores
lhe use OF aluminium as A precipitant
ol gold and silver from cyanide solution
received increased attention in 1913
Dissatisfaction with zinc precipita tion
at the Nipissing mill led 10 the invcstiga-
ton of the merits OF aluminium, with
the result that II was finally adopted
There arc number OF advantages In
using aluminium for preciplta tIon. Al
though II Is more expensive than zinc
vet much less OF IL is used per ounce of
metal precipitated. Aluminium does not
combine with 9lkall cyanide as does
zinc. hence docs not cause consumption
OF cyanide. When the precious metals
arc precipltsted. all OF the cyanide COM
bined with them is regenerated This
necessltateS the presence of free caustic
alkali In the solution. One Of the oh
Stacles 10 the successful use Of alu-
minirIm dust has been the difficulty of
wetttne II and getting a thorough CON
tact with the solution. This is over
come by the use OF some form of vor-
tex mixer, er,-Metalurglcal and Chemical

ORE CONCENTRATION
METHODS IN 1913

The record OF ore concentration in~the
united states during 1913 is one of un-
usual interest
While great deal OF thought has
been given to improved mctallurgical
efficiency, attention has been directed
Win increasing force TO the economies
OF milling. Operators generally are
realizing what the more thoughtful
leaders have been emphasizing for some
tume; VIZ. that the highest meta lnrgical
efficiency Is not pccessa riIy Indicative OF
the most economic operation. In ore
dressing. especially. commercial condi-
lions must be kept in mind, and the re-
qulfementS and preferences OF the
smeiter must be considered For OBJ
Vious reasons smelter schedules favor the
production of high grade concentrates
Hence. one OF the points the mill opera
Tor must keep in mind is the grade Of
MS products. A high pScentage of re-
covery In the form OF n low grade pro-
duct may not be as profitable TO the
operator as high grade concentrate rep
resentinC lower saving
Perhaps the feature that looms largest
IN IaSt years record OF concentration Is
the wider adoption OF flotalion not only
Tor zinc but also for copper ores Thls

BIG COAL OUTPUT
IN CENTRAL STATES

A generally good coal year is reported
by the United States geological survey
for the central and southwestern states
in an advance statement by Edward w.
Parker, government coal statistician.
The output OF coal In Illinois In 1913 is
estimated 10 have exceeded the pToduc-
ion in 1912 OF 59sS5.2 226 tons by approx
mately : per cent
No special features developed IN the
coal trade in Indiana. Production was
rather in excess OF 1912. but about 1000. =
600 tons short OF the record output IN
1910. In western Kentucky and Nlchi-
gan the output was not notably differ
ent from that Of the preceding year
In the southwestern states the princl-
pal feature Of interest was the diminish
ing gas supply in the mid d-continent field.
During the first seven months OF the year
the total output OF coal In Missouri Kan

increase of about II per cent, according

DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
METALLURGY OF ZINC

From a metallurgical point Of View the
status of spelter production was not ma

contrary, there was marked activity In
almost all branches of zinc ore treat

FEW FOLKS have
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when ii fades, turns gray. dull and
Hfeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the air. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
5O-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly. that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides. it takes off dandruff.
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with II and draw this through
your hair. taking one small strand at a
time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is
that, besides beautifully darkening the
hair after few applications, il also
brings back the gloss and lustre and
gives IL an appearance of abundance.
