harvested before the blossoms die,

in any manner, for seed purposes when
the seed is worth IN the neighborhood
of ten dollars per bushel-a price that
has prevailed for a number of years

cause of the increasing demand that

TRACTOR OCCUPIES
IMPORTANT PLACE
Smaller Sized Machines Solving
Problem on Farm Of Com
paratively Few Acres.

(By e. r. GROSS, Colorado Agricultu-
raj College.)
There IL no doubt in the mind OF
the writer that the gasoline or oil
tractor should and does occupy an i'm
portant place in present day agricul-
ture. The smaller size tractors now
being put out by manufacturers are
reducing very materially the size OF
farm on which tractor may be op-
Grated with profit. It is quite certain
that 16 to rs horse power tractor
developing 8 to Is horse power on the
draw-bar can now be operated profit
ably on . 200 to 250-acre farm. The
essential requirements on the part Of
the farmer who will own q tractor
are: That he understand his ma
chine thoroughly or employ skilled
help to operate it; that he plan care
fully the work 80 that the tractor can
be kept at work at least as much Of
the time as horses would be; that he
have only little more power In the
form of tractor and horses than he
would otherwise have In the form Of
horses alone. r-a
In the tractor 1t Is well to look for
tractive power with the least possible
weight Heavy tractors often have q
bad compacting effect on the soil. The
greater the bearing surface. the great
er the tractive power and the less
the compacting Of the soil. In general
there are three types of traction
wheels: The ordinary wheel with
prominent grouters: the drum type.
large diameter and wide wheel with
small or no grouters; and the creep
ing type Of fractions parts.
The reliability of the tractor can
best be judged by machines of its
make that have been observed in oper-
alton for some time.

OIL FIoTATIoN PROCESS
PROVES TO BE SUCCESS

The new oil hotation process that
is being installed at the Steptoe plant
at McGill and other Jackling porphyry
mines threatens to revolutionize the
extraction of low grade ores. The prob
lens that have been worked out by
the staff of metallurgists demonstrates
that it is a revelation in comparison
with the most modern appliances in
the milling world, and is a wonderful
Improvement over the older methods.
The minutest details have already
been worked out.
higher extraction is obtained
through the use of oil, and the cost of
reduction will also be materially less
ened. The mills of the Nevada Con-
solidated have been almost exclusive
y equipped with Vanner tables, and it
IS quite likely that it will result in
the elimination of Vanners, or at least
large number of them. Although all
the coneentrators have worked in a
satisfactory manner, and returned
handsome profits, even a higher eff
cheney is promised through the new
process.
The release of oil flotation was ac-
compfished by the Butte and Superior
company, through a decision OF the
federal court in San Francisco, that
the use of OIL acid and agitation was
not patentable. 1t was held that no
company can take from others the
right to use oil economically. The idea
did not come into general use because
the Minerals Separation company de-
manded such heavy royalties that com
panies could not meet the demands.
The alleged infringements of patents
was dsregarded in the court decision.
definite solution of the rev meth
cd of treating copper was aVallaDie,
when an experimental plant was erect
ed by the Butte and Superior compa-
n.y. it was applied successfully to the
zinc product from that property ana
the Guggenheim interests decided to
take it up for porphyries. II IS claimed
that even greater success has been
achieved with copper ore, and that a
limited amount of oil is used. Less
water is consumed, making the cost of
oil small item in some sections where
there Is a. scarcity of water.
When the best and most economlcal
way of separating minerals discovered
in modern times was declared not pa
tentable, the Nevada Consolidated de-
cided TO erect q hun,!rpd-ton expert
mental plant for the demonstration of
the oil fiotation process. A large part
OF the equipment required at MeGlll IS
being turned out in the company shops.
The immense mills, at Garfield, that
are controlled by the Jaekling inter
ests will be the first to complete the
process. The cost to Nevada Consoh-
dated will be small item in comparl-
son to new equipment that is installed
under ordinary conditions. TT Ploehe

CALIFORNIA MAY
PURCHASE ". P.

The state of California should own
the Western Pacific railroad, which is
now in the hands of receivers, and a
plan has been adopted by which to
take il over. This was announced TO
a group of newspaper men by Cover
nor Hiram Johnson yesterday, says
the Bee.
With the ownership of this trans
continental railroad, California would
be forever commercially free,D said
the governor with enthusiasm.
The announcement of the governor
was made Immediately following a con-
ference with Charles 5. Wheeler, Ru-
dolph Spreekels and Lieutenant Gov
error John NJ Eshleman.
Spreekels is one of the Western Pa
cifc bondhoders from whom the orig
inal suggestion of government owner
ship of the road came. Wheeler is a
San Francisco attorney who has ap-
peared for the railroad as counsel in
special cases.
The acquisition of the railroad was
the subject of the conference and the
governor said that, though he did not
wish TO discuss details of what had
been said, the situation was very hope
full.
GA plan has been adopted for the
state of California to purchase the
Western Pacific railroad, said Gov
ernor johnson.

that is matter that will follow soon.
We shall proceed at once to WORK
them out. But we decided that the
movement for the purchase of the rail
road should be commenced at once. 1t

A STORY IN POINT

You may have read in recent issue
Of one of our weekly publications, the
little story of the fountain pen.' IN
brief it was as follows:
Under the stairway in the old Trib-
une building in lower New York City,
at the rear of news stand, a remark
able discovery was made. By chance,
while pausing to make purchase an
advertising manager first learned of
something that was to be of vital in
terest to the world of invention. Back
os this news stand stood a kindly ap-
pearing man with small tray of goods
which he was offering for sale. He
demonstrated his product and told his
story 60 the advertising man, who re-
turned to his office, firmly believing
that he had made a great discovery.
The man who displayed his first in
vention in the old Tribune building
was Lewis Edison Waterman, and the
article he showed was the Waterman
Ideal fountain pen. This was a little
more than twenty-nine years ago.
The inventor, knowing nothing
about advertising, knew of no other
way than going out and personally
peddling his wares.
Let me run a quarter-page ad. or
your pen, he suggested to Mr.. Wa
terman. But the inventor had not the
money it would cost. So great was the
faith of the advertising man in the
product that he loaned Mr.. Waterman
the price of quarterpage ad.
The first advertisement of the Il. 4.
Waterman company appeared in No
vember, 1884. Prior TO that time Mr..
Waterman, by personal solicitation had
sold about 800 pens in all. Within a
few weeks after the advertisement ap-
peared such large number of orders
had been received that the inventor
borrowed $4,000 with which to con-
tract for more advertising and to have
the pens made and delivered. An in
telligent advertising campaign was
carried on and business increased with
rapid strides. In 1888 5000 pens We're
sold; in 1900 227, 900 sales were made,
and in 1912 nearly l,250,0O0 pens We're
sold.

tising man discovered Waterman-and

now seems certain that, should the ne

will come forward with from 1000 to
$500 acres of beets, while Loveloek,
Fernley and Mason valleys will be de
pended upon to furnish an additional
1000 acres and as much more as can
be signed. Meanwhile the Southern
Pacific company officials are being i'm
portuned for a rate on beets TO be
raised in Salt Lake county, Utah, COG
miles to the east of us. Already the

HEAVY TRAVEL IS PRE-
DICTED BY JULIUS KAHN

Congressman Julius Kahn, who has
been but five weeks during the past
two years away from Washington, ar
rived home yesterday afternoon, says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
The first thing he did was to visit
the Exposition, extend congratulations
to President Moore for the success of
the enterprise, and tell the directors
of the enormous influx of visitors from
the east that is being predicted in
Washington.
Congressman Kahn says he expects
there will be a call for a special ses-
sion early in September, when he be-
lieves the financial condition of the
United States treasury, because of the
Underwood tariff and the war, will re-
quire special legislation.
He said last night: fTo begin with,
il is great to be home. And 1 may well
recall the fights which the California
delegation made for the success of the
Exposition There were these matters
particularly: The coinage souvenir
bill, the governmental exhibits, the
keeping of General Murray in service
fo1 the year, the allowance of state
jurisdiction over government land, and
the original fight for the Exposition.
But it is all over, and the result speaks
for itself.
" All through the east the early Wis
itors are loud in their praises. And
the greater portion of both houses Of
Congress will be here. In fact, there
is a delegation en- route now. Not only
will the Rivers and Harbors committee
be here, but nearly every member of
the Cabinet and probably the Presi-
