Review OF Mineral Production.

Secretary Franklin X. Lane has re-
ceived from the Geological Survey
its mid-year review of mineral pro-
duction. This official statement
covers the first six months of 1916
and includes reports from the Fed
eral specialists on the principal prod
ucts of the mining industry, as well
as from the Western offices of the
Geological Survey These summary
reports are being made public as
authoritative and impartial records
of business conditions.
s'The mid-year review was so we'll
received last year. said Secretary
Lane, that believe it met public
need, and it will therefore be con-
tinued as one of the services render
ed the public by the Interior Depart
ment The business of the whole
country has become so interdepend-
ent that facts regarding our mines
and mills and furnaces are of real
concern to every citizen interested
in any industrial undertaking. That
the mining industry is making many
new records in the extent and sue
cess of it's business must be taken as
an index of the nations general pros
perity.s Best of all, 1915 is register
ing another advance in the growing
independence of the United States as
a producer of the many materials
that civilization has made necessary.
Our country is coming into it's own"

Alfalfa Is Very Valuable Plant.

Alfalfa is one of the most valu-
able plants to the farmers that has
yet been discovered. Many farmers
have jumped blindly into trying to
grow it without complying with the
necessary conditions" says James T..
Anthony, successful farmer and
Alfalfa grower of Kent County, Md.
Where all the requirements of
alfalfa have been met, the results
have ben satisfactory in Kent Coun-
ty." Alfalfa requires a firm seed
bed, friendly soil, good drainage
and plenty of available plant food
in the soil.

Let War Brides Pay The Tax.


Our Government requires an ex-
traordinary sum of money to meet
an extraordinary condition. What
fairer way to raise that sum than by
levying an extraordinary tax upon
the extraordinary business of the
country created by war? War
brides" have been enjoying un-
paralleled prosperity. All previous
records of earnings, dividends and
melons have been cast in the shade.
Munition factory stocks and stocks
in scores of other Industrial con-
Germs which supply commodities for
the war have risen to heights never
before touched. They did this
because of their amazing profits. In
England they take sixty cents out of
every dollar of such war-bride
profits. All over the country COM
panies have been declaring dividends
and extra dividends ranging from 25
to one thousand per cent. as direct
extra. dividends ranging from 25 to
one thousand per cent. as direct
result of war orders. Such unexpect-
ed and abnormal prosperity fur
nishes the best possible field for
gathering additional Federal reve-
nue.. It is said that even the United
States Steel Corporation is earning
forty per cent on it's common stock,
all but five per cent. of which is being
boarded for future use. The fairest
possible system of taxation is that
which taxes in exact proportion to
ability to pay, and nobody else today
has such a fat pocketbook as the war
bride-Cecil Whig.

Health officers in various East.
ern cities are much alarmed at the
spread of infantile paralysis, which
is epidemic in New York and other
populous centers.
Health authorities, National,
State and Municipal, are taking
measures, as far as possible, to re-
strict its extension. The symptoms
are said to be free discharges from
the nose and a loss of use of limbs.
The faculty advises screening
windows and the exercise of other
well known sanitary devises and
the segregation of patients for
eight weeks as a protection against
incubation. The investigators are
also hunting for the germs and
toxi0ns, which are said to enter by
the mouth and nose. The author
tiles now say that adults are liable
to contract the disease from too
close a. contact with infected
children.

Your Fields, Increase Your
Yields.

r
There is farmer whom 1 know who
shows that he is wise,
He knows that larger yields of wheat
come when you fertilize,
With crop reports much lower than
last year and prices high,
The farmer easily can see that feed
ing he should try,
Some nitrogen will help the growth,
phosphoric acid, too,
A little potash strengthens straw and
plumps the kernels, too.
Let's help the plants make good stalk
growth and fill the kernels
plump.
BY feeding them with plant food
(sir) Then watch the profits
jump!
The profits come with larger yields,
the average crops don't pay
So why not get your share of gain
the fertilizer way?
With wheat you have a high-priced
crop and extra bushels count,
Help out your fields, bring up your
yields and watch your profits
mount.
Ard when you see just how it pays
in larger crops of wheat,
Next year you'll feed your other
--r crops and all your records beat.
For farming is game in which the
Golden Rule applies,
You feed your crops and they feed
you: so, therefore, fertilize.

Dry leaders were greatly en-
cOuraged last week by vote in
the United States Senate, brought
out by motion to suspend the
rules so that the amendment OF
Senator Jones to the postoffice ap-
preparation bill could be consider.
ed. This amendment forbids the
sending of liquor advertisements
through the mails into Prohibition
states. The Vice President ruled
that a two thirds vote was neces-
sary to suspend the rules, and his
decision was sustained. The vote
stood 36 to %, and as the question
voted on involved the merits of
Prohibition, dry leaders are elated
over this majority of eight votes.
The liquor interests today have
resorted to the use of the United
States mails to assist them in dis
pensing liquor where it has been
outlawed. They resort to these
methods even in states where it is
contrary to state law to circulate
liquor advertisements. Tt is high
r
time that the United States gov
ernment removes its protection
from these mail order liquor
houses, and ceases to make ineffec.
tive legislation enacted by the
states for the protection of the
,states' citizens.

COUNTRY LIFE SCHOOL AND
CONFERENCE.
Ministers To Participate In Gather
ing AT Maryland Agricultural
College.

Continuing it's efforts of the past
two years the Maryland State Col
lege of Agriculture is planning a
school and conference at College
Park from July "a to August for
the special benefit of country minis
ters and others who are interested in
country life. The desire is to bring
about cooperation between the
forces working for the religious well
fare of the countryside and those
aiming at it's economic advancement.
Agricultural colleges recognize the
presnce of a thriving church as most
vital to the success of community
and gladly extend to the minister all
the aid at their command. Thus
they offer him a special course in
rural economics, rural pedagogy and
in all the agricultural branches in
order to give him a deeper under
standing of the determining forces
of community progress. They also
invite him to attend conference
under the leadership of men who are
specialists in problems relating to
the country church.
The Country Life School will be
conducted in regular classroom
fashion. A course in rural sociology
will be given by Raiph A. Fulton of
the department of church and
country life of the Presbyterian
Church daily at 8:15. to 9:45 a. m.
Following that Prof. F. B. Bomb
erger will give instruction in rural
economics. Thereafter the day is
given over to instruction by the col
lege and experiment station stats
and special lectures in home econo-
mics, animal husbandry, horticulture
and the other phases of agriculture.
Field work on the college and ex-
pertinent station farm adds much, it
is said to the practical value of the
courses. Special lectures are prep
ared by the professors in order to
give the ministers the greatest
amount of instructions possible in so
short a time.
The program of the three days
special conference, August q, and
4, is so arranged as to give almost
one-half the time for the asking of
questions, debate and discussion.
This makes it a cleaning house for all
kinds of practical suggestions as to
the meeting of various problems and
making full use of opportunities.
Every District minister is invited
to attend. Though the emphasis is
all ON country life, that does not
restrict the appeal of the school and
conference to city ministers. Many
clergymen are in large city pulpits,
it is pointed out, because of having
succeeded in the country. Others
now in the city will yet fill country
pulpits.
Any minister it is declared, who
has failed to receive copy of the
announcement bulletin may obtain
one by writing to the secretary of the
country life conference at College
Park, Md.

Farming with Both Head and Hand,

The small farmer should be a

Many small farms throughout the
East and South are paying very
handsome labor incomes. A two

income of $500 from eggs, honey
and small fruit. In Norfolk County

Trees Die From Starvation.

MANY people think that fruit
trees used no fertilizer and let them
shift for themselves which is the
cause 5of so many starved trees in
Pennsylvania. l believe more trees
die Of starvation each year than from
any other single cause" says F. w.
Funk, the fruit expert of the State
Department of Agriculture, who has
been visiting farms and orchards
throughout Pennsylvania, examining
the conditions of the crops and Soils
Trees on different soils require diff
ferent kinds and different amounts
of fertilizer, but by watching your
trees closely, you can tell what they
need. Fertilize your bearing trees
so that you can secure an average of
from 6 to IL inches of new growth
each season; young trees will grow
considerably more than that"
