CALL FOR MORE CORN

Wheat excepted, corn IL the
most valuable and indispensable
of the worlds grain crops. 1t
holds a commanding position In
the agriculture Of the United
States. Its vast acreage and
heavy yields are responsible to
no small extent for the success
Of agriculture. The department
Of agriculture. in its program is
sued early in February, which
re-emphasized and amplified the
food production program for
1918 published by the depart
ment In August. 1917. recon-
mended that an acreage Of corn
approximately equal to that Of
1917, which was the largest on
record, should be planted In
1918. with possibly slight reduc-
lions in certain sections to free
areas for spring wheat. In 1917
the acreage devoted to corn was
approximately 119, 1855 900 acres,
compared with 105. ST.. 900 acres,
the average for 1911-15. and
with 107. OS3. 900 acres for 1912
and 100, 1877 600 acres for 1915.

tests made of the gases throughout
period Of nine months it was found
that the electrical precipitatOr recOv-

the nineties.
Great Wastage In Smoke.
The general public has only the
faintest notion Of the wastage repre-
scented in the fumes and smokes from
belching stacks quite apart from the
beneficient economies following from
their abatement where the nature of
these outpOurings is harmful to man
and vegetation. In the smelling of
lead the fume contains anywhere from
3 to 10 per cent of the volatilized met
al In the form of lead oxide and lead
sulphide. with compounds Of arsenic
and antimOny. This percentage is
well worth recovering. Doctor Cott-
rell Is authority for the statement that
not less than SO valuable substances
are found In fumes which. II not col
lected. would be lost during the smelt-
ing and refining Of various ores, etc.
At Great Falls. Mont, there was at
one time daily loss in dust from the
stacks of one of the large smelters of
2775 pounds Of copper. 1O6 ounces of
silver, and OH ounces Of gold. BY an
adequate provision for dust recovery,
this smelter was able to save In the
course Of single year metallic val
ues amounting to S13O.263.
The blighting gas, sulphur dioxide,
given Off from the stacks of copper
shelters can be transformed into use
full substances by turning the gas into
sulphuric acid or sulphur. Sulphuric
acid Is largely made here by treating
pyrites. and we now consume annually
In the neighbOrhOOd Of 8,25O,OOO tons
of 80 per cent sulphuric acid. To
great extent this corrosive fluid Is a
prime constituent in the preparation
Of fertilizers, especially where phOs-
phate rock is treated for this purpose.
1t Is also used In converting the am
monia by-prOducts of cooking ovens
into ammonia sulphate. Sulphuric
acid Is in great demand by explosive
factories. oil refiners. steel mills and
varied industries engaged in the max
ing Of heavy chemicals. Sulphuric
acid is likewise extensively employed
by shelters and the latter are paying
as high as $50 n ton today for the
stuff. Sulphur d.OXide is used in
the preparation OF wood pulp for pa
per making. both as disintegrating
and bleaching agent.

How Potato Spraying Paid.

Some potato growers, according to
a recent statement from the depart
ment Of agriculture. have expressed
the opinion that 1t does not pay to
spray potatoes for late blight. That
thorough spraying will control the
blight in seasons Of bad infection has
been proved many times In the past,
says the statement. and most recently
in AroostOOk county, Me-. in 1917.
Among other places in the county this
was shown cOnclusively at Aroostook
farm, where extensive experiments
were conducted by the United States
department Of agriculture In co-opera-
lion with the Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station. In one block where
small test plots sprayed with standard
bordeaux mixture were interpreted
with untreated plots. the average
yield on IL Of the former was at the
rate Of 1912 bushels per acre, while
that on an equal number Of untreated
plots was at the rate Of 1893 bushels
per acre, an increase Of 37.7 bushels
per acre, or more than 20 per cent In
favor Of bordeaux mixture.

to aSate nuisances that bid fair to
cause the shutdown or removal OF
costly plants.
In dealing with dust alone. the first
direct effort along this line had to do
with a Portland plant near Riverside,
Cali An electrical treater was INSTALL
ed there a few years ago by way of ex-
pertinent. and a couple Of years later
was collecting something like a hum
dred tons of dust daily. Prior to that
the dust had been scattered broadcast
and settled upon the groves OF ada
cent orange growers, leading to extern
sive litigation. Analysis Of the re-
covered dust disclosed the presence OF
an appreciable percentage Of potash,
but this attracted no marked attention
at the time. Since then, particularly
now that it is no longer possible for
us to get potash from our prime
source, Germany, this element so es-
sential to q balanced plantfOOd Is In
great demand.
Last year the plant ut Riverside
started full blast to actually create
dust as its first concern In order to
recover the potash which previously
had been only a by-prOduct in the
manufacture of cement.
Cement Becomes By.Product.
This is certainly romantic devel.
Opment Of modern industry, where an
apparatus installed for the purpose Of
saving the life of the factory turns out
to be the center of operations around
which the entire plant Is adjusted.
In other words. the cement becomes
for the once the by-prOduct and the
profits on the potash furnish an ample
revenue, while the cement is just so
much additional gain.
Anyone at all familiar with the aver
age cement plant and the gray pow
dered appearance Of the nearby ter
ritory can realize the boon that would
be conferred by the general adoption
Of electrical precipitatOrs not only in
preventing the escape Of the dust but
in saving the potash which Is so much
desired.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the whole story Of Doctor COttrells
success Is the fact that he has pre-
scented to Smithsonian institute at
Washington all Of his valuable patents
relating to the electrical precipitation
Of dust. smoke and fumes. The pur-
pose of this muniicence on his part
was that any profits resulting from
the practical application of the pat
ents should go to the upbuilding Of a
fund to aid in the advancement Of
scientific research. In short. to help
genius and to develop inventions
where the needful financial aid might
otherwise be lacking.

PIONEER GENTLEMAN
 D|ESAT TUCSON HOME

The death of George W. Atkinson last week at his home in Tucson closed the life chapter of one of the pioneer cattlemen of Arizona.
 Interesting and varied was the career of Mir. Atkinson. He was born at Pe- oria, H., 79 years ago. That was in 1899. His father was from Yorkshire. England and his mother from Virginia.
 His mother died and his father re- married. In 1860 the family started across country with a wagon and team for Colorado. a distance of thousand miles. Tbey located in Denver. George. who was 16 years of age, applied him. self to learning the brickmakers trade
 In the autumn of 1877 he went to Globe. AriZ.. where he established a brickyard, being the first man in the state to employ native clay in that in- dustry. He removed to Calabasas or January 1. 1872 where he erected a hotel constructed from Arizona brick His name has ever since been associ- ated with Calabasas which is in Santa Cruz county near Nogales.
 He turned his attention to stock rais-
