Arizona is constantly yield
ing some new mineral dis
covery. Sometimes it is a
rich find of gold, silver, cop
per or other well-knoWn
metal, but often a little
known mineral, even the
name of which is sometimes
scarcely known. Such is the
discovery of pickeringite. A
correspondent writes:
Commercial deposits of pickeringite. a
rare mineral used exclusively in the man.
ufacture of dyes and in tanning. have
been discovered by Ed Johnson. mining
operator of kingman district Johnson
accidentally discovered the deposit while
doing some prospecting. He sent samples
Of the mineral to Washington. where it
was examined by government geologists.
They advised Johnson Of the nature of the
discovery. and asked him to try it in tan
ming leather Johnson. on carrying out
the experiment, found that fine leather
could be produced from raw hide within
eighteen hours by dipping it in solution
Of pickeringite. Pickeringite. it is said, is
also greatly in demand for use in the
manufacture of paper. and as base for
dyes. Johnson refuses to tell where the
property is located. but says he has tons
and tons of the mineral in sight

There is no question but
that the American farmer has
developed his energies in the
field of production, while he
has in a great measure left
the markets that received his
products to the dictation Of
the commercial world, says a
farm paper. A change must
come and that soon. He
needs to study practical
methods that will regulate
the legitimate sale of farm
products at such prices the
year around as will give him
a fair compensation above the
cost of production.
The Benson signal., 1916-11-11
NAMING THE FARM

More and more it is becom-
ing a custom to give names
to farms, and especially the
fruit and dairy farms. The
aim should be to have the
name mean something, and
as a distinguishing mark
when marketing produce.
There is no question but
that a name in connection
with a fruit or dairy farm,
which sells good produce, is
a splendid asset. 1t is one of
the modern methods of ad-
vertising and grows on the
user of it in conversation and
associates it with the prod
ucts that he has to offer on
the market. Not only does
he become accustomed to it,
but the consumer or pur-
chaser of the products as
we'll.
In choosing a name tor a
farm there comes a tempta-
ton to select some hack
neyed or simple name that is
quite common, and on the
other hand, to 60 to the other
extreme and get a name
which is neither readily un-
derstood nor easily remem-
bered. 1t will be found that
the smaller the name the
more valuable it will become.
The farmer who is success
full, naturally adverties, al
though he may not think he
is an advertiser in the strict
sense of the word. His
products advertise his work.
Some day he will want to
advertise his business in the
papers, then he will want TO-
use his farm name.

AS a rule the local voters,
men and women alike, show
ed a greater disposition than
in the last election to get at
the merits of the issues to be
voted on. Many at the last
election failed to post them
selves thoroughly beforehand
upon the amendments and
consequently could not give
these measures the consider
alton they deserved. 1t is
an encouraging sign that
more and more thought is
being given to these matters
by the mass of voters.

While the consumer has to
pay a great deal more than
ever for nearly everything he
buys, nearly everybody that
produces the things he buys
is getting rich, says the Bis
bee Review. When such a
condition exists, the system
is radically wrong. Either
prosperity or adversely ought
to be passed around more
equitably. Nearly all the
belligerent governments of
Europe have found it neces-
sary to regulate prices to pre-
vent extortion for the artifi-
cial swelling of war profits.
Canada is now planning to
do the same thing. If our
big business interests con-
tinue their present practices,
they may force us, against all
our desires and traditions, to
adopt a similar policy.

Announcement was recently
made by DR.. R B. YOU KleinSmid ,
president of the University of
Arizona, of new biological sta
ton in the Santa Catalina Noun
tains. This station will be about
thirty five miles from Tucson, on a
section of land which has been
leased by the University for a
period of thirty years. The work
will be under the direction of DR..
J. J. Thornber, professor of biolo>
gy and botany. In discussing the
station recently, DR.. Thornber
said:
eve have been interested for
some time in the location of u
biological summer school in the
Catalina Mountains, and last year
DR.. Won KleinSmid made bold TO
ask Congress for four sections Of
land to'be used for this purpose.
THE Catalina Mountains have
a vertical altitude of about 1000 to
$500 feet, and as the greatest plant
growth in the state occurs between
the attitudes 1000 to 10000 feet,
they include a very large part OF
the growing conditions for plants
to live and continue to live in our
state. There are probably 100
different kinds of trees in the
state, one.half of which are found
in the Catalinas themselves Or in
the foothills. We have about 900
kinds of grasses 10 the state, and
$50 of these are found in these
mountains. The great cactus area
of the country lies between the
Santa Catalina and the Santa Rita
Mountains, so that Tucson might
be said to be the capital of the
cactus area of the United States.
We know now of thirty-fve diff
ferent kinds growing in the Cata>
linas. These mountains are also
representative of a very large
number of plants of the state. "

American wholesalers and jobbers
are much pleased with the order
issued from the de facto gov
ernment at Mexico City through
the governorship of Sonora repu-
dating the double import duty on
all merchandise after November I.
A decree by the Carranza gov
ernment in Mexico City was issued
several weeks ago to go into
effect on November to the effect
that a double duty would be put
On all merchandise imported into
Mexico from the United States.
While it is understood that this
decree did not affect merchandise
from foreign countries, but was a
direct blow to our government, or
a grave injustice to the starving
people of Mexico, who would in.
directly be compelled to pay this
exorbitant and ridiculous sum of
money into the hands of few
grafters who are living sumptu.
ously at the expense of the poor
Mexicans.
Many protests were made by
the Americans objecting to this
high duty, which they claim
would completely jeopardize busi-
ness to such an extent that the re-
suits would be starvation for the
citizens Partly on the face of
these protests, aud other unknown
motives, the decree was annulled
for the present time.

SHORT-TIME FARM LOANS

Department Bulletin No. 4oo,
Factors Affecting Interest Rates
and Other Charges on Short Time
Farm Loans, by G. w. Thompson,
specialist in rural organization,
gives the following discussion of
the bearing that the borrowers
personal characteristics have on
his ability to obtain short time
loans on satisfactory terms:
"The borrower who is known
70 be a man of honesty and integ-
rity and who shows ability and
Judgment in the conduct of his
farm business will ordinarily COM
mand the confidence of his banker
and obtain credit On terms rela>
lively favorable for his class of
loans, whereas the individual who
is uncertain in his personal char.
acter, erratic in his judgment, and
irregular in his business habits
will be considered a less desirable
risk and, if he obtains loan at
all, usually must pay a higher rate
of interest. In any case, if credit
is to be extended wisely, it is just
as important to discourage its use
among those who cannot be trusted
as it is to grant credit to trust
worthy borrowers who will use
the borrowed money profitably
and repay it promptly.
"Oftentimes the borrower may
be honest and upright intentions,
but may fail 10 appreciate tue i'm
portance of being prompt in meet
ing his obligations. Possibly he
thinks that few days after the
date of maturity is soon enough to
make payment, and that a little
delay is unimportant. He may
not stop to consider that extra
work and expense are involved
when notice must be given of over
due paper, or that bank examiners
do not take kindly to notes that
are overdue.
"Again, the business ability and
business habits of the farmer are
tested when the banker asks for q
statement of the borrowers busi-
ness. This information is needed
by the banker as a basis for intel
ligent rating. IF the borrower is
in the habit of keeping accounts
and can explain the nature of his
resources and liabilities and thus
indicate accurately his financial
standing, the wisdom of granting
desired loan as we'll as the prop
or terms thereon readily can be de-
termined. On the other hand, if
this information is lacking and the
banker is in doubt about the safety
of particular loan, he is likely to
charge up his uncertainty to the
borrowers account in the form OF
a higher rate of interest.
"The requirement that a bor-
rover shall submit statement of
his business is being applied by
bankers in their dealings with mer,
chants and manufacturers. Accord
ingly, business men in general
have become more or less familiar
with this requirement., and are
prepared to furnish such a state
ment whenever it is called for.
Some bankers, in inaugurating a
similar plan in connection with
their farm-loan business, are sup
plying farmers with especially
prepared blanks, or rate sheets, on
which the farmers furnish the de-
sired information"

A new topographic map of the
area known as the Benson quad
rangle has just been published by
the United Geological Survey.
This map represents by far the
most complete survey ever made
of this section of the state. 1t
shows SO clearly every physical
feature of the quadrangle that the
character of any part of it, as well
as the shapes of the hills and val
1eys can be seen at a glance, and
the altitude of any particular
point can easily be determined.
The relief of the country is
graphically shown by means of
brown in black. all the works of
man-roaGs, etc., representing a
q cert ain altitude. The traveller
walking along the course shown by
one of the contour lines will go
neither up hill nor down, hill but
on level. That such a map is of
prime value to the engineer who
may be laying out railroad or
trolley route, highway, a drain
age or irrigation system gees with.
out saying, but it is also of great
value to the average citizen. Far
mers and automobiles, for in
stance, buy thousands of the maps.
In addition to the land and water
features, the map shows, in black,
all the works of man-roads,
bridges, towns, houses, etc.
