CONTROL OF PLANT LICE
SUGGESTED TO FARMERS

At this time Of the year many in.
quiries come in concerning small
'ereen br"s" on n great variety Of
plants, shade trees, flowers, garden
truck. etc. These are Aphides, COM
monty called 'plnnt lice" Since they
are sucking insects they are to be
controlled by contact spray Of some
sort. For this purpose kerosene en-
ulsion, common soap solution. whale
oil soap solution. or tobacco extracts
may be used.
Kerosene emulsion, diluted one part
to ten with water, is effective but so
often is. not properly made and in
jury is apt to result to the foliage.
Common soap solution may be
made by dissolving laundry soap in
water at the rate Of one pound Of
soap to four or Ave gallons Of water.
Whale oil soap solution-the pot
ash soap being the best-is made by
dissolving one pound Of the coap in
five or six gallons Of water. Some
kinds may be used even one pound
to eight gallons.
Tobacco extracts may hc home
made ar of the commercial prepara-
ton. Small amounts may be- made
for use by sleeping one pound Of
tobacco leaves in four or Ave gallons
Of water. For extensive spraying, or
if the material can be obtained near
by. the commercial tobacco extract
known as "Blnrk Leaf 10" is excel
lent. II contains 40 per cent of nj
cotine sulphate and for plant lice re-
quires dilution with water at the rate
Of three fourth pint to one pint Of
the extract Of one hundred gallons Of
water. Three or four pounds of soap
are added to this amount to increase
The sticking qualities.
Any Of the above sprays should be
applied thoroughly, care being taken
to get the spray into any Of the curl
ed leaves and onto the aphides so as
to wet them thoroughly. The manner
of duplication Of the spray will de-
pend upon the size Of the plant to be
sprayed, and upon the nature Of the
plant, whether tree, vine, low crops
of the garden, Towering plants or
house plants.-State College New
Mexico.

STATE or NEW MEXICO MAS
LARGE AMOUNT COAL SUPPLY

The production Of coal in New
Mexico in 1913 was 3.706. 600 short
tons, with a value at the mines Of
$5, 4Ol ,260, according to +. W. Park
err, Of the United States Geological
Survey, who compiled the figures in
cooperation with the State Geological
Survey.
In 1913, as in 1912, New Mexico
outstripped all previous records in
the production Of coal. The output
in 1912 was 3,536,824 short tons.
valued at $5,036,s24, compared with
which that Of 1913 showed an in
crease Of 1882 tons in quantity
and Of 1854, 200 in value. The aver
age price per ton in 1913 was $1.33.
Colfax county in 1918 produced g.
140, 765 short tons out Of the total of
3,708,806 tons for the state.
The number Of men employed in
the coal mines Of New Mexico in
creased from 1928 in 1912 to 1920
in 1913. The average production per
man decreased from 900 tons in
1912 TO 857 tons in 1913. This de-
crease was not due to any falling of
in efficiency but was one Of the minor
effects Of an appalling disaster which
occurred at Mine No. 2 Of the Stag
Canon Fuel Co., at Dawson. in Octo-
Der. 1913. This accident, one of the
most disastrous Of the year in coal
mining and the worst In the history
of the state, caused the death Of
26l persons. II occurred in one Of
the mines Of a company which had
spared no expense and had taken
every precaution human intelligence
could suggest to reduce the hazard Of
coal-mining operations. The other
fatalities reported TO the United
Statess Bureau Of Mines outside Of
the explosion at Dawson were II.
making a total Of 272.
Only one instance Of labor dis
affection was reported in 1913, and
in this eight men were on strike for
100 days.

EASTERN mlmime ENGINEER
SPEAKS o. PlmOo ALTOS

j. ii. Shockley. well known New
York mining engineer, who is in Silver
City nj the present time. in the
weekly news letter of u large New
York brokerage house has the follow
ing to say regarding the mines of
Pinos Altos:
The principal activity in Pinos
Altos was in the nineties. The total
production Of the camp ut that time
being approximately 100000 with
gold the principal product. The veins
of the district are true and persistent
assures, containing very long ore
shoots. ! have seen continuous and
nnbroken ore in several Of the mines
for more than thousand feet on the
strike of the veins, with the veins
just as strong at the 750-foot levels
rs they were at the surface. In fact,
the camp is note worthy for the reg
nlnrity and persistency of its vein
system and there is no question about
their deep seated origin.
Pinos Altos is in the zone on
great nndeveloped mining region; il is
only ten miles distant from the
Chino Copper Company and some
twenty miles distant from the Phelps.
Dodge Burro Mountains property.
Much greater activity may be looked
for IN this region in the immediate
future. as the attention Of the mining
world is being attracted to il.
through the advertising it is now
receiving by such properties as the
Chino, Phelps Dodge, Ernestine and
others. Mr.. Shockley speaks very
highly Of the report Of ]. A. James.
Z. NJ. on some Pinos Altos property
in his letter and in every way recon-
mends the acquisition and operation
of property in Pinos Altos.

sition, you would undoubtedly ask

AS to what he had accomplished.
A man buying an automobile should
ask the same things of the automobile

PROPERTY OWNERS MUST
LAY CONCRETE WALKS

About a month ago or more the Town
Council of Milford served notice upon
owners Of property in various parts of
the town to relay their pavements with
concrete and bring them to the estab-
lished grade, the town laying the gutter
and setting the curb. This work has
been going on along North Street as far
as Fourth for several weeks. The old
trees have been removed and the curb
ing set for most of the distance between
Second and Fourth Streets. The main
part of the work remaining is on the
east side of the street between Front
and Second, and last Monday morning
the Street Committee of Town Council
started workmen to taking out the old
gutter and curbing, and will have them
reset at the curb and grade line. When
this work is finished, those who have
failed to put down their pavements, or
arranged for having the work done, will
then fall under the penalty of failure to
comply with the notices, and Town
Council viii then proceed to lay such
pavements out of concrete. and then
collect the cost and fines from the own
ers of the property. The law is certainly
plain on this question, and Council will
have no difficulty in collecting all bills
as well as the penalties.
