.uSs SEED TESTING

Better FarninA association is
most intensely interested in
having the fullest possible acti-
witty along seed testing lines
during the coming spring.
What is the truth about the
condition of small grain to be
grown in your community next
spring7 Most of US have long
been under the impression that
all small grain properly ma
tured, therefore. is not injured
by freezes, consequently is in
good shape 80 far as germina.
ton is concerned. This doubt.
less is true if the grain was
planted at the proper time in
spring. However, it may be
injured in other wavs than by
cold weather, such as heating
in the stack, sun scald, sprout.
ing in the shock, etc.
There is also a great deal to
be found out about the type
and varieties of the VA
rinus small grains seeded in
each munity every year.
A very short examina ion of
the grain sent into the primary
markets will convince anyone
that most of the small grain
seeded is mighty nondescript
as to type. Our experiment
stations have definitely proved
that there are high Welding
varieties of every kind of grain.
Why grow mixed and monde
script stuff where it is just as
easy to grow pure bred grain?
In most localities small grain
is also infested with weed
seeds. In the north, wild oats
are particularly bad. Where
such weeds cause definite de-
crease in crop yield, the grain
should be recleaned if at all
possible, or if not, seed secured
that is free from pest. t'he
same thing is also true of smut.
Smut eau be eradicated from
grain by the formaldehytie
treatment.
Termination of samples col
lected from every part of the
community will show all these
points as we'll AS the actual
growing power of the seed in
question, but none of the points
in question will show up unless
samples are collected and sp:
cifically examined. The scll",Is

in every community and can
make the gathering of samples
and testing g them a part of their
regular work in agriculture. or
if your county has an agricul.

federation of commercial clubs
strongly urges seed testing and
will gladly assist in seeing that
proper tests are given if those
interested will write them.

Seven Months Dividends

Dividends of American mines and works were OF a more than
satisfactory nature judged by reports to Mining and Engineering World
of ia American mines and works. During the seven months ended
with July these companies divided among shareholders nj less than
S57,25785o That this is nothing unusual for American mines and
works is evidenced by the fact that no less than $872,I72+47I has been
paid by them since their incorporation. On an issued capitalization of
$3.50 $4,000 this is a return of SIII,5I2,54I in excess of issued caphai-
cation.
The dividends declared above do not include those made by the
securities holding corporations, six of which have SO far this year made
of ST. 44I2,6s5, and to date $~I74333I32, while it is gen
orally understood that these companies. look for their profits from hold
ings in other companies; several operate properties of their own from
which substantial profits are derived. Then two there are the privately
owned properties which pay handsome dividends to other owners.
In the classifying the ia companies paying dividends in 1914,
are copper properties, all but being operated in the United
States. These twenty-four properties have to their credit so far this
year $2oo6oo2I. To date these twentyfour companies have enriched
their shareholders to the extent of $42I ,69o564. This is a remarkable
return to shareholders, being no less than $I8I, I8S,64o in excess to out
standing share capital.
Eighty-three of the 1914 dividend payers operate properties of the
gold lver-ead-zinc class, and. they participated in the years disburse-
ments to the extent of $2oo46 $50. To date these eghty-three COM
|panies have paid dividends totaGng $207623.355. This is $477o368o
in excess of capitalization.
Fifty-seven o. the above companies operate properties in the Unted
States and they report dividends paid in 1914 amounting to $I ,2S4-
|76o656.
Twenty-one operate ~ Canada and 20 far this year have paid
dividends totaing $6746I6I and to date $500I6,343 on an issued
capital of So. 355,664 Considering the short life of a majority of
these properties this is indeed a remarkable record.
But five Mexican companies have reported dividend payments i'll
1914, these distributing $IoI5766 and to date have paid ~$2o755,3o6.
Seven metanurgical companies have Sc far this year disbursed
dividends totaling SOL $3.50. To date these companies have paid to
shareholders $I02824552.

ACTIVITY
At ROCHESTER
NARROW GAUGE RAILROAD BE-
ING EXTENDED AND MILL
SOON TO BE BUILT

A. A. Codd reports that construc-
ton work is being continued ener-
g~etically in extending his narrow
guage railroad in the Rochester dis
trict, and that the grading will soon
be completed to the site of the new
mill that is to be erected bv John F.
Cowan and other Salt Lake City
capitalists who now control the Ro-
chester Mines company. Twelve miles
of track in the neighborhood of Col
conda are now being torn up to secure
rails for the extension of the Codd
road, and as soon as the grading is
completed the construction crew will
take up the work of laying track.
Mr.. Codd Is much encouraged over
the splendid showing in the new vein
recently encountered in his lease,
which shows about eight feet of ore
that will average about SIS per ton.
This was struck by a crosscut on the
40O-foot level, and is considered the
main vein Of the hill. When the mill
is completed, large shipments of the
milling ore now opened will be made,
and an era of good profits inaugu-
rated.
Work has already been started on
the four mile pipe line from Weaver
canyon to the mill site, and construc-
ton will soon be begun on the mill.
Where the mines Of the camp have
up to the present time been COM
PEELED to depend on their shipments
of high grade ore, the mill will make
the large reserves of milling ore
available to treatment and prove OF
great benefit to the district.-Reno

A Noble Worker For Peace

In its issue of August I. 1914, the Literary Digest contained an
article on the late Baroness Won Suttner, who wrote the novel doing
for the peace movement in Europe something like what Uncle Toms
Cabin did for the antislavery movement in America Baroness Won
Suttner, IS we'll as Theodore Roosevelt, was a Nobel peace prize win
nr. The baroness was in this country two years ago and is said to
have included Roosevelt among her three "destestahons Nero,
Napoleon and Roosevelt The lady, an Austrian by birth, and the au-
thor of Law Down Your Arms" could not be brought to believe that
the former president of the United States was really interested in peace
from a humanitarian standpoint. While Roosevelt had been endowed
with the Nobel peace prize as the pachcator OF the Russo Japanese
embroglo, the baroness still included him among her three "destesta-
tons"
Baroness Won Sutner, before her death, became one of the great
disciples of universal peace. She had seen the results of wars i'll Aus
tra and dedicated her life to their prevention. The fact that she did
not succeed should not detract from her efforts. The Baroness died
and Evangelist of New York of recent date, gave a n interesting per-
sonal view of the distinguished foreigner. Among other things he said:
Her interest took its rise from several sources. First of all, her
immediate experience of the effect of wars. She saw the flower of
Autria's youth brought home either dead or mutlated; she saw the
suffering of wives, mothers and little children; she saw that as a gen
eral thing these wars all arose out of petty disputes and that very rarely
any great principle was at stake. Another thing that aroused her in
dienation against mlitarsm was the fact that in all the conversation
which she heard in court circles, war was treated simply as a great
