GOVERNOR ISSUES CALL
TO SILVER PRODUCERS

Following close on the announce.
ment from Washington of a govern.
ment corner on all silver production
in the United States, Governor En-.
met d. Boyle, yesterday, issued a
call for conference of all silver pro-
ducers in the state of Nevada TO meet
in Reno during the early part OF next
week TO consider this matter so vital
to their welfare.
The exact day of the conference is
pending the answer OF a wire sent
yesterday by Governor Boyle to Ray.
mond T. Baker, director of the mint,
in which he asked him for an entire
statement of the case and conflrma.
tion of former reports.
The plan of the government Is to
operate jointly with British officials
To prevent the competition of pur-
chases by other foreign governments
from raising prices TO the point where
coinage becomes Improbable, giving
the government practical control of
the silver market at price somewhat
lower than the prevailing rate of Sc
cents.
MINING ABUSED
Mining" said Governor Boyle when
interview at Reno while he was on a
short visit. 'is a much abused enter
prise, both in the state of Nevada and
elsewhere. At the present time 1t is
serious matter and open to much
! discussion as TO whether or not sill
yer can be mined profitably here with
an established maximum of less than
Sc cents.
Nevada, being the largest silver
producing state in the union, should
take the lead. We feel that we car
secure the cooperation of other sill
yer producing states of the union anC
the meeting next week will be useC
to discuss ways and means for meet
ing this step.

next week, to pass resolutions an(

The State has certain regulations to

anyone else--that he had a definite
place, a real function. He has been
slandered because he has not risen

lily.
The country merchant should
buy and sell within his community.
He should do this so efficiently
that outside influences will not in

More Draft Horses Needed.

The cross Of the high-class Per-
cheron horse upon Southern mares
is going to produce mule mare Of
unusual merit-very much better
than the average grade Percheron
more Of the North. We have q
better foundation for this cross,
and our problem is in the selection
Of hjghly-bred stations Of medium
weight, but Of outstanding quality.
To accomplish this, more breeding
establishments for pure-bred horses
in the South should be organized.
The agricultural colleges Of the
Southern states have made a start
and are doing what they can to es-
tablish system by which the re-
suits desired will be most quickly
attained.
Care should be exercised in the
selection of breeding animals. Ex-
IRENE weight is not essential, but
quality, soundness. action, and that
type Of conformation that warrant
endurance must not be sacrificed.
There is a type Of draft horse that
is better suited to Southern condi-
tons than others. The chunk and
the indiscriminate overweight are
not the types we want.
The draft filly, properly cared
for, may be worked and bred at
two years old.
This is also true Of the prospective
properly developed cross-bred Ally.
Upon the Experiment Station farm
we have been able to produce mules
weighing from 1850 to 1.100
pounds at two years old. The past
season we worked a pair of two
year-olds out Of the grade Percher-
on mares during the entire summer
season They were not given the
heavy tasks of mature mules, but
were kept busy every day. Under
good MANAGEMENT these mules de-
veloped nicely and much more than
paid for their feed and care.
The place Of the properly bred
and selected draft horse in the pro-
duction Of mule mares is acknowl-
edged. and the farmer who still re-
fuses to accept the benefits Of a
good draft sire in his community Is
wilfully postponing opportunity and
profits rightfully his.--H. A. Nor
gan. in Southern Agriculturalist.
