Seed Corn

The seed corn situation is not
only alarming, but it is absolutely
desperate. A large per cent of the
corn, even in the best corn-grow-
ing sections, is soft. In many ears
of corn that appear to be sound,
examination will show that the
germ is diseased.
1t behooves the farmers to begin
at once to select and test their corn.
Every ear should be tested. and
when a good ear is found 1T should
be placed in a dry, well-ventilated
room, and saved for seed. The de-
mand for seed corn is going to be
so great that good seed will COM
mand a very high price.
Dealers, urge yonr farmer friends
to get busy in their corn cribs, Sc
lecting the ears that will grow, for
the seed corn situation is desperate.

Output of Arizona Mines

The output of gold, silver, cop.
per, lead, and zinc from Arizona
mines in 1917, according to Vic tor
c. Heikes Of the United States
Geological Survey, Department of
the Interior, had a total of over
$214 900, 900, an increase of more
than $23, ,OOO,OO over the value of
the output in 1916. This increase
was due in part, however, to the
greater prices of metals, all of
which except zinc, were decidedly
higher in 1917. In quantity there
( was a marked increase in gold
4 slight increase in recoverable
zinc, but decrease III silver, copper
and lead. During the ear1ey part
of the year Arizona was producing
copper at rate decidedly greater
than in 1916, but labor strikes at
the main producing and smelling
localities considerably reduced tae
rate before the end of the year.
Many mills were built among them
custom mill at Chloride and a
sampler at Wickenburg. Con-
struction was begun on the new
smelter for the United Verde Ex-
tension Co. at Jerome The cap
acity of the Arizona Binghampton
! mill was incr eased to $50 tons day
The production of gold from
Arizona mines increased from $3,
985, $50 in 1916 to about $4, ,831,
900 in 1917. as the production of
copper ore and of lead ore were
much less than in 1916 the increase
III the output Of gold can be cred
tied to the San Francisco district,
of Mohave County, and very large
ly to the United Eastern property,
which during the year, became
thd largest producer of gold in the
State. The gold road mill was idle
and the Vulture property was
operated only a little. Production
at the Tom Reed was upheld, and
considerable gold was produced
from the Copper Chief Mines, in
E the Verde district.
The mine output of silver de-
crease from 7,212,O3 ounces in
ounces. In spite of this decrease
the improved price of silver, which
averaged 81,4 cents an ounce,
brought the value of the output to
about 5000, 900. all increase from
$4, Jas, 522 in 1916. The decrease
III quantity was due to decreased
shipments Of lead ore and copp er
ore.

Don't Sell Liberty Bonds

I hope that the merchants Of the
country. upon more careful con-
sideration of the subject, will dis
continne thier efforts to sell mer-
chandise and take Liberty Loan
Bonds in payments" " says Secre-
Nc Adoo.
The Secretary states that he h as
no doubt that merchants offering
to tpke Liberty Loan Bonds in eN-
change for merChadise are aCtuated
by patriotic motives, but that such
transactions tend to defeat pr
mary object Of the bond sales, as
they discourage thrift and increase
expenditures. Bonds so taken in
exchange in most cases are 1mne-
diately sold III the open market,
which tends to suppress the mark
ct price and adversely affects sales
Of future issues.
The strongest efforts are made by
the Treasury Department to have
these Government bonds purchased
| for permanent investment by the
people and paid for out of savings,
thus not only providing funs for
the Government bnt effecting con
servation Of labor and material; eX-
changing them for merchandise
therefore defeats this purpose.

The mine output Of copper was
about 688, ,00O,0 900 pounds, a de-
crease of 34,000,0O0 pounds, or
nearly per cent. Arizona is still
the leading copper mining State
and produced more thau twice as
much copper as Montana. The
! value of the output increased from
SLIT, ,57O,96O in 1916 to over 5000,
600, 900 in 1917. Six of the large
copper smelling plants reported de-
creased outputs on account of labor
troubles. Five others. however,
greatly increased their copper pro-
duction the Hayden, Sasco United
Verde, Consolidated Arizona, and
Calumet & Arizona. At the New
Cornelia property the new teaching
plant was started III June and pro-
duced more than 1000, 900 pounds
per month until the end of the
year. Some copper matte was
shipped from the Great Western
sme1ter, in the Big Bug district.
The International Stnelter Co. in
creased its capacity by adding a
reve1 beratOrV furnace.
The mine production Of lead IN
Arizona decreased from 27, 062 087
pounds in 1916 to about $4,000,
900 pounds in 1917 but as the price
was better the value was only
slightly less than that of 1916,
which was 81 1867 ,284. Most OF
the lead ore came from the War
rem district of Cochise County,
and the Wallapai district, of Mo-
have County. Considerable lead
ore was shipped from the Bunker
Hill mines, in the Tombstone dis
trict.
The output of recoverable zinc
was about 2O,700,O00 pounds Ill
1917, an increase of about a mill
ion pounds. The two largest pro-
ducers were the Union Basin pro-
perty and the Tennessee mine,
