A movement on the part Of the growers of
tobacco in the Southern Maryland belt was set
on foot sometime ago by an association formed
for that purpose 1t has been urged by those
advancing the idea that the scheme is not only
perfectly safe from the growers viewpoint, but
is most feasible in that the producer controls in
large measure the selling price OF the product
that is the result Of his labor.
For a number Of years the tobacco industry
has labored under conditions that have had a
tendency to discourage its cultivation because Of
the inadequate prices received for the crop.
This the association confidently feels can be
remedied by cooperation on the part OF the
planters by selling through medium that they
themselves control.
The Tobacco Growers Association has been
Incorporated and now awaits assurance on the
part Of tobacco planters that they will cooperate
to the end that better prices may be obtained
Tor the crop.
A very feasible proposition has been offered
the planter he is to subscribe for portion Of
the stock and pledge certain number Of hogs
heads of his tobacco to the association for sale
at the charge Of S so per hogshead.
1t is universally acknowledged that the quail
ty of tobacco grown in Maryland is essential to
the proper blend for trade that is highly de-
yeloped and that the peculiar flavor cannot be
produced elsewhere IF this be true, and we
have every reason to believe it, then the Mary
land grower is in position to demand an ade-
quate price for his product and if the scheme Of
cooperative handling the crop be adopted by a
sufficient number to warrant the move, the plant
er who joins will assuredly get just value for
his tobacco.
Every tobacco grower should, in our humble
opinion, subscribe to the stock Of the association
and should pledge his unreseyed cooperation to
the end Of securing adequate compensation for
his crop.
Now is the time to determine the advantages
Of the move and all who can should avail them
selves for the opportunity Of furtherng the enter
prise. If given trial we are confident that all
who grow the counselor cunning and silent,
comforter true and tried, : will reap harvest in
greater profits from the industry that has hither-
70 labored under very lamentabIe handicaps.

WINGFIELD OFFERS
HIS THOROUGHBREDS

For the purpose of increasing the
supply OF war herses, OF which there
is now great scarcity, George Wing
field, in behalf OF the Nevada Stock
Farm, last night announced that the
breeding services of several high class
animals at the parm will be placed at
the free disposal of the government or
individual owners o fcertain types oi
mares. This proposal includes Mont
gomery and Ossaany and the Arabian
Sey Yid, which are now located al
the Nevada Stock Far mon the Nir
gina road, near Steamboat Springs
This offer is made from a purely
patriotic standpoint" said Wingheld
because of the urgent need for in
creasing the supply OF horses suitable
for war Observation-Disclosures
for war purposes. II. G.. Humphrey
w. II. Moffatt and myself, who own
the Nevada Stock Farm have already
rendered the government all the hoses
rendered the government all the
horses we have that are suitable for
cavalry service, and we believe that
the best types of horses for that pur-
pose should contain thoroughbred
/ strain.
"We desire to extend every coop
Grafton possible for increasing the sup
/ ply of good war horses, and have
therefore decided upon this announce
ment as means for so doing. Reno

YERINGTON DISTRICT
INDUCES DEVELOPMENT

Salt Lake people have planned an
active campaign OF development work
at the Mason Valley Extension prop
erty, according to Director A. c..
Guthell and II. Barney, who have just
returned from the Yerington- Mason
Valley section in western Nevada.
The Mason Valley smAlter is now treat
ing about 100 tons daily in its one
furnace The ore is all coming from
the old Bluestone and other company
properties in the immediate vicinity
OF the plant The talk now is that the
second furnace will be blown in about
May |, when the capacity of the plant
will be doubled, and it is hoped that
custom ores will be treated.
The Mason Valley Extension owns
10 claims, IA of which are patented
he property embraces two groups,
one on either side of the Bluestone
mine, which is yielding 500 tons daily
A shaft Is feet will be carried on down
to possibly the $50 level The old
work is all in porphyry overflow. 1t
IS expected to reach the lime contact
at the $50 This is where the great
wide ore deposits characteristic of the
Yerington district are generally found
The big glory holes on the Mason
Valley and Nevada Douglas are mainly
in this formation also the deeper ore
deposits A contract will be let al
once to have the shaft sunk to 200
feet 1t IS expected later on to equip
the Extension electrically, as a power
line passes within 400 yards of the
shaft site.
Messre- Gutheill and Barney also In
spected the Montana y erington. Botf
were impressed with its merits. Mr.
Guthell said that when he was out
there five or six years ago this prop
erty was in the wildcat class; now i.
is on the mine border
This district is the first that ! have
ever visited that had not been rather
overestimated to me-" declared Mr.
Barney Even outside OF the prover
mines the properties we inspected
have excellent possibilities. Mr.. Bar
ney is the man who helped make Car
diff. and was with the Michigan-Utah
for some time.-Salt Lake Tribune

PORK PRODUCTS IN DEMAND

The receipt OF hogs during the past
week has been little heavier. The
market. however has taken another
advance of half a cent per pound
We are today paying:
For hogs weighing $50 TO 3O'
pound. where they average over Hs
pounds, Ia cents; where they average
under us pounds, l3 "a; hogs weigh.
ing 100 to $50 pounds, Y IA; heavy
rough hogs, l3 81
There is evidence that farmers are
taking advantage OF the high market
10 feed more hogs. There is every
indication that the price Of live hog
will be maintained until well after
the next harvest
With the shortage OF food products
all over the world it is questioned
whether present high prices will not
be maintained uneil after peac has bee
be maintained until peace is declared
The tendency on provisions, fresh
pork cuts and lard, is OF course, IN
sympathy with the price OF live hogs
and several advances have been made
in the past ten days. Prospects are
that provisions will reach still higher
levels to keep pace with the rapidly ad
vancing market on hogs.
The present situation calls for siren
nous efforts by everyone who owns
land capable of producing additional
crops of all kinds, and heed should be
given to the Presidents proclamation
calling for additional efforts by farm
ers and everyone capable OF cultl
waiting more soil to do their utmost IN
this respect
1t is an absolute impossib,lity for
this country to product an over supply
and thus dcpress the market next
wear. Reserve stocks of all kinds are
practically exhausted, ard it will un.
upndoubtedly be necessary to have
two or three years of bumper crops
in order to replace depleted reserves
Believe this matter should be giver
wide and continued publicity, so tina
everyone may know what is necessary
TO be done in order to save the situa
ton.

SHORT RATIONS PROBABLE

Never before i'll our history have
the people OF the United States faced
so critical food situation.
Evidence presented at the St. Louis
and Berkeley conferences of Federal
and State agricultural specialists,
called together by the Secretary Of
Agriculture to consider the food prob
lem in relation to the war, substan-
tally showed:
% That the present supply OF flour
meal, ceerals, canned goods, potatoes
sugar, ham, bacon, and other foods
is the lowest on record, probably not
exceeding 8 Ger cent OF normal.
(2) That the livestock outlook, cat
tie, sheep, swine, swine, poultry, etc.
discloses similr general shortage
and
(3) That the crop outlook for the
present season is below normal, due
to the exceptional everity OF the past
winter and the lateness and GOODNESS
OF the spring throughout the country
And in connection with such food
rfage is to be considere,
food supply are greater this year than
ever before, for we must not only care
for our own people, but help feed our
allies and
That it is therefore the imperative
patriotic duty OF all American citi-
zens, city dwellers as we'll as farmers
men and women, boys and girles, each
to do his Bit in producing some part
Of the food supply.
First-Every Nevada farmer should
this season grow every acre OF grain,
forage, potatoes and other crops thai
his land can produce, and all the live
stock and poultry possible.
Second-Every Nevada stockmar
should so manage his livestock as to
insure maximum production during
he period OF the war;
fhird-Every citw dweller should
grow a backyard or vacant-lot garden
Foutrh-Boys and girls in towns
and cities should enroll in the garden

COMO DEVELOPMENT

Development work on the property
of the Como Consolidated Mines Com
pany within th4 last ter days has
clinched the belief Df the owners ot
the mine that thsy have picked UP
the continuation of TIC famou: old
Como vein which produced $4GC, GO
from its upper levels during The ho-
nanza days.
Two dogs ago the RIGA vein on
which drifting has been in progress
for some time on the 1l4-foot level
was picked UP on the 200 level and
according to Gurney Gordon, presi-
dent CT the company, it looks very
good.
"Of course we can't tell the size or
richness of the vein at this time,
said Gordon yesterday, but there
seems to be no doubt that it is con-
tinuation Of the big shoot we encoun-
tered on the lis level some time ago.
Yesterday President Gordon an
nounced the appointment of William
4. Burr, a mining engineer and mill
man with years OF experience, and
considered one OF the highest class
men in his profession in the country,
as the superintendent. Mr.. Burr
whose more recent activities have
been confined to developing and op-
Grating the biggest mines in Mexico
will take charge OF the Como prop
erty at once. He visited the mine a
few days ago and was very favorably
impressed with it.
81 am we'll pleased with the result
Of my inspection Of the property,
said Mr.. Burr yesterday, and feel
sure that no difficulty will be expert
enced in placing il on paying basis.
1t will require considerable preliIti-
nary development work, but there is
good ore and plenty OF it and this to
gether with the very excellent mill
on the property makes the task very
simple"
