WEEDS CAN BE CONTROLLED BY
CHECK ROWS

Checking corn, SO that it may be Gull
tivated both ways, is the most satisfac-
tory method of planting in Minnesota,
under average conditions, says A. H.
Benton Of the division Of agronomy and
farm management of the College of
Agriculture, University Farm, St. Paul.
The weed problem is important, said
MIR. Benton, and when the corn is checked
with the hills three feet and six or eight
inches apart, it allows splendid oppor-
tunity for weed eradication.
The depth at which corn ought to be
planted varies with the type of soil and
the amount of moisture. The seed must
be covered only deep enough Il to 2
inches) to get plenty of moisture for
clude the air. The planter should be
adjusted so that the depth Of the plant
ing is uniform. Three or four kernels
to the hill are desired.
''Under exceptional conditions, where
the ground is free from Weeds" con.
tinued Mr.. Benton, ''the corn may be
drilled, using slightly more seed to ar
acre than when planted in hills, Great
,er yields have been obtained under this
l,;!an, but it makes weed control more
difficult"
When silage corn is wanted, the same
variety should be planted as for felc
corn, according to Mr.. Benton. South
ern corn, formerly used for silage ant
fodder, is now uncommon and undesir
able.

GRAPHITE RUNNING LOW
European War Has Caused Shortage
of Mineral Used Extensively
In Foundries

Because of it's use in the manufacture
of crucibles for melting metals and fol-
foundry facings, graphite is a mineral re-
source of vital Importance and in great
demand in time of war The extraor.
binary activity both in this country anc
abroad in the manufacture of munitions
has greatly stimulated the graphite in.
dustry. Most of the established graphite
mines in the Eastern States notably in,
creased their output in 1915, and in the
Ashland district, Ala, a number of new
mines have recently been opened, most
of which have not yet reached pro-
ducing stage. Early in 1916 active de-
velopment work was also begun on a
graphite deposit of much promise in the
Llano region, in Texas.
The full effect of the increased demands
will not be shown until these new con-
Germs begin to market their product, but
even in 1915 the output OF natural crys-
talline graphite showed an increase OF
about 1,S5O,O0O pounds over that for
1914.
Among the manufacturers of graphite
products the crucible makers in particular
have greatly increased their output, and
many of them have been unable to meet
the increased demands because of the
difficulty of procuring suitable raw ma
terials, crystalline graphite and refractory
clay, in large enough quantities.
The troublous conditions in Mexico re-
duced the imports of graphite from that
country in 1915 to less than half the
amount in 1914. The small Canadian
production of graphite was almost entirely
absorbed by the United States.
In addition to natural graphite the
United States produces large amounts of
manufactured graphite in electric fur
naces at Niagara Falls. While this mate
rial is not suited for the manufacture of
crucibles, it's manufacture was also
stimulated by the European war, because
much of it is placed in the market in the
form of graphite electrodes used in elec-
trio steel furnaces and in other electro
chemical industries. The number of
electric steel furnaces in the United States
is reported to have increased 70 per cent
in 1915, and there were also great in
creases abroad; the resulting increase
in the demand for graphite electrodes
may readily be inferred. The graphite
electrodes made at Niagara Falls range
in size from the diameter of a pencil
''lead' to IL inches in diameter and IT
inches long.

ARE DIMINISHING
FACTORY DISEASE
State Inspector Oscar F. Nelson Makes
Report Showing Reduction in
Number of Cases.
TANNERS WARNED OF DANGERS
Domestic Hides Fonnd Infected With
Deadly Germs That Prove Cause
of Anthrax Poisoning.

That occupational diseases resulting
chiefly from the use of lead and ar
senic are under control and have been
constantly reduced from month to
month in number Of cases, is the sub
stance Of report recently made by
Oscar F. Nelson, chief state factory in
spector. TO Governor Edward F. Dunno.
The report shows that at the time
Mr.. Nelson assumed the duties Of chief
state factory inspector the number of
cases due to poiSonings in factories
ran as high as IS during one month.
Since that time there has been a de-
crease to this extent, that at present
the number of cases averages about u
per month.
This great reduction during the past
year in the number of sick cases is due
to the greater attention given 10 the
"Occupational Disease Law" and a bet
ter compliance with the prescribed
rules and hygienic measures ordered
by the state factory inspection depart
ment, despite the fact that the num-
Der of firms required TO report monthly
medical examinations has increased
6S per cent.
Prevention is the slogan Of the chief
factory inspector He does not believe
in waiting for diseases due to indus
trial poisons to occur and then at
tempt a cure. He advocates the con-
slant practice of hygiene in order to
bring about the results intended in the
law. Plenty of fresh air and good ven
tilation. advises the factory inspector
will help lots toward keeping occupa
tional diseases at minimum. Month
ly medical examinations and stric
shop discipline come next in line, sup
pIemented by adequate sanitary facili
ties. such as shower baths, Wasf
troughs. separate clothes lockers, tow
els, working clothes, nail brushes, ant
an abundant supply of soap and water
Every factory covered by this Law
must install suitable dining room fol
it's employees, as eating and drinking il
the workrooms, where the process o
manufacture includes dangerous sub
stances, is strictly prohibited by Thu
law.
Decrease in Poison Cases.
During the preceding year 379 case
of industrial poisoning were recorded
OF this total 353 cases were traceabl
TO lead and occurred chiefly in sucl
industries as the smelling and rein
ing Of metals, manufacture of tinware
making car seals, manufacture o
paints and white lead, and painting

Twenty-six cases, due to other cause
than lead, occurred in foundries, wher
employees were found to be suffering
from brass poisoning, in the manufac
