New Mexico.

An important strike has been made
at about 200 feet in the Lynchburg
mine, one Of the group under the
management Of the Empire Zinc Co.
The Magdalena-Kelly mining dis
trict is doing a largely increased bust
ness at the present time. New mines
are being opened and new companies
are being formed.
The Lone Tree group of mines is
being developed by a company formed
OF a number OF Tulsa, Okla, capital
lists. The holdings are located about
three miles from Magdalena.
About 800 men are now employed in
the mines and on the prospects Of the
Tres HermanOs mountains in Luna
county, the main camp being twelve
miles northwest OF Columbus. The
Gymkana mine has erected bunk
houses for it's employees as well as an
engine house. A tunnel that is in 200
feet is being driven into the hill be.
lew the old shaft to tap a newly dis.
covered ore body. Another tunnel is
being driven by the Kentucky Mining
Company. Il is in $50 feet on orc
assaying 500 to the ton.

a week as long as the soil remains dry

BY fall the mass of roots will be
practically lifeless If the easOn has
been normally dry and hot. The whole

deep, using a jointer. In the spring
harrow every week until time to plant
a cultivated crop, then keep perfectly
clean, and the battle will be won.

DISEASES OF TOMATO
BIossom-En Rot Attacks Fruit Be-
fore II ls Mature, Causing Il to
Drop to Ground.

Blossom-end rot of tomatoes is a
disease caused by a fungus. It attacks
the blossOm-end of the fruit while the
fruit is green and causes it to rot and
drop off before II is mature. AS soon
as the disease is observed. pull Off all
affected fruit and destroy 1t. After this,
spray thoroughly with bordeaux mix
ture. Bordeaux mixture is made with
one pound Of blue stone, one pound of
quick lime and 10 gallons of water. Dis
solve the blue stone by hanging 1t in a
cloth bag, in water, Over night. Stake
the lime separately, then mix the two
thoroughly, and add the u gallons Of
water. Earthen, glass or wood recep-
tacles must be used to dissolve the
blue stone in. It will corrOde metal.
If fruit is rlpened, gather all ripe
fruit before spraying. z is neces-
sary to repeat the spray every week
as long as there is any sign of the dis
ease.

Miami Copper Company output in
May amounted to 1885, 1868 pounds Of
copper.
The strike at fifteen mines at Je-

Steady and consistent progress has

The Girard Mining Company of Dat
man has on the way to the railroad
thirty o of ore from the old Metals

With the expressed purpose of ex.
plotting the Chino valley oil fields of
Arizona, a syndicate was formed in
Phoenix known as the Arizona Oil
Syndicate.
The Tom Reed Gold Mining Com
pany of Oatman milled about 10000
tons Of ore in the fiscal year ending
March 81, 1917, and earned $131, 900,
or 1915 cents per share. Gross produc-
ton was $500. 600. The mill saving was
$40 per cent of the values.

I'll It breaks up cloddy, much moisture
will be lost, a good mulch cannot be
obtained, and harm is more likely to
be done to the cOrn roots. As long as
rapid evaporation is taking place, the
surface win remain cold and the
growth of the corn will be slow. In
order to owe large areas quickly, cul-
tlvators which work two or more rows
are a great advantage.
The number of civilizations neces-
sary and the best time for them de-
pend upon weather and soil conditions.
Weeds should not be allowed to grow,
and a mellow surface should be main
tanned. In some seasons this may be
effectually accomplished with one or
two civilizations; in other seasons
from four to six CIVILIZATIONS may be
necessary.

object Of Cultivation.
Corn should be cultivated only when
one or more objects will be accom-
pllshed by the cultivation and when to-
tai effects will be more beneficial than
injurious. The beneficial effects of
cultivation are:
O) Preventing weeds from rObbing
the corn of soil moisture and fertility,
(2) Putting the surface in condi-
ton to take in rainfall, thus prevent
ing run-off and erosion, which mean
losses of water and soil fertility.
(3) Warming the soil nv drying its
surface quickly.
(4) Saving moisture by checking
Its capillary rise to the soil surface.
Some injurious effects of cultivation
are:
~ Breaking the corn roots which
otherwise would use some of the
moisture of light showers before II
evapOrates and
(2) Forming large clods and ali
spaces, thus permitting air to enter
and dry the soil.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculturs)
Farmers can make the cultivation
Of corn most effective and go a long
way toward assuring themselves Of
harvesting a good crop by getting the
start of weeds. When these robber
plants are small, before their roots
have taken firm hold and before they
have used much soil moisture, they
can be destroyed by a light stirring Of
the soil. When weeds have become
better established, however, deep cul-
tlvation only will kill them. Such deep
cultivation not only means more labor.
but it cannot be accomplished without
breaking and destroying many cOrn
roots.
If corn land has been properly pre-
pared deep cultivation is not advisable
1t should never be given close to the
plants after they are a foot high, as
much harm would be done by breaking
the roots.
To get an early start Of the weeds,
in many sections or in seasons when
seed terminates slowly, it is advisable
to harrow once or twice or otherwise
to c%ultivate.the field before corn COMES
up. Limited moisture makes thin
stands necessary and it is poor man
agement to allow grass and weeds to
rob the corn of this moisture.
Aside from destroying weeds, time
ly cultivation is beneficial in prevent
ing the loss of moisture by evapOra-
ton and also in fastening the warm
ing Of the soil. The loss of soil mOis-
ture by evaporation continues much
longer from a compact, damp surface
than from a loose dry surface, and
the evaporation tends to keep the soil
cold.
In Northern localities and at high
attitudes the conservation of heat is
frequently as important as the con
s~ervatlOn of moisture. Luckily, both
heat and moisture may be conserved
by good, timely cultivation. Heat is
wasted in evaporating or wasting soil
moisture, making the surface loose
and dry saves both soil heat and soil
moisture.
Cultivate After Rains.
C%ultivatlng after heavy rains is a
good practice. To be most effective
tne c~ultivating should be done as soon
$ the surface is dry enough to work

BAD FEED QUITE DANGEROUS
Old Corn or Hay, Not Sheltered Prop
erIy, Is often in MoIdy and
Poor Condition.

Often the farmer in the spring Of the
year has some old corn or old hay,
which. If 1t has not been sheltered
properly, is moldy and in bad condi-
lion. Such feed often Is the cause of
serious trouble with the stock.
