Still Finding Good Ore

The mining activities in thu
Mansfield district continue with
fine prospects. AS the secreta
ry of one of the companies re-
marked Tuesday, that they
meant. They were here because
of their faith in the district, and
they were spending money tc
develop the district.
N. Rosenberg of Joplin, presi.
dent of the Mansfield Mining &
Development Co.; j. S. Sum.
mers of Kansas City, vice pres
ident; and W.R. James of Joplin,
treasurer, were here during the
week. The company has moved
the big Sparta mill from the
Dodson land to the Tripp lease,
going down 35 feet the first day
on the new location.
The drill placed on the Tripp
farm by the Mansfield Mining
and Development Co. began op
erations Monday and yesterday
noon were down to a depth of
81 feet. At GO feet some very
good specimens we're found.
The drill at this depth was in an
open ground and water.
The Beeler Steph Sharp drill
south of the Berry was still in
jack yesterday at a depth of
PA feet. The reports from this
drill show that the drill has
practically been in good ore
since leaving the 200 foot depth.

will be erected just south of the
old Berry mill, where workmen
are now laying foundations and
getting ready for it. 1t will re-
quire twelve or more cars to
move this mill.
The number of men employed
by the various mining companies
and the salaries paid amounts {
to considerably more than most
people imagine. The work is
being pushed as rapidly as pos 6
sible, and good showings are
being made. ,

communication from Jane
Houchin, president of the Mis-.
Ouri Federation of Commerce.
Clubs:
We need corn to feed ou
live stock and we need corn t
feed our allies and we need cor
to feed the boys at home and a
the front.
l am not writing this letter tt
you for fun or because l like thu
work, but | am writing you be
cause the situation is serious.
1t has been demonstrated thai
not one ear out of ten on an av
erage of the corn grown last
year will grow. In other words
nine ears of corn grown last
year out of every ten is dead
ear and will not germinate.
A great number of farmers
are picking their seed corn from
the crib as farmers usually do.
l spoke to one of my superint.
endents about his seed corn and
he told me that we had as good
seed corn as I could buy any
where. He said he had been
throwing out a few ears for his
feeding. I did not say anything
but had already ordered enou.
gh seed corn for all of my farms.
I think my man is about as
bright and progressive as the
average and the average farmer
is doing just about as he was
figuring on doing, and the re.
suit will be a lot of replanting, a
lot of extra work, and is a very
backward practice to indulge in
today.
I might write you extensively
along this line, but 1 am not
going to do it. l wish you could
read the letters that are coming
to my desk and telling me facts
about this situation. I am tell
ing it to you in a few words, and
# you have not the interest to
get busy and give this informa
,ion to the people of your com
nunity, it is not my loss, except
Is we all lose and suffer by not

Test Your Seed Corn

g lest Your Seed Corn
e Mountain Grove, Mo-, March Il
If Editor Mansfield Mirror.
It Mansfield, Mo.
VI Dear Sir: Enclosed I am send
e ing you copy of a circular lette
S | have mailed out to all the dis
!. trict school teachers and higl
i schools in Wright and Douglas
counties. The letter is self ex
+ planatory. I think that it would
D be beneficial to have it published
that the farmers may know ol
this work that Is being done for
their benefit.
Very truly yours,
l.. E. DeVINNA.
There is great shortage of
good seed corn over the entire
corn belt. Any kind of seed corn
that will grow will be in great de.
mand this spring From reports
received by the Missouri College
of Agriculture, of numerous
tests of seed corn in Missouri.
1t has been estimated that al.
most half of it will not germinate
more than 500.
The only way to ascertain
whether corn will grow is to test
it before planting time. BY test
ing each individual ear, the ear
that will not germinate will be
eliminated, and only the first
class seed will be planted. In
order to answer the call of our
government to produce a great
crop of corn this year, it will be
necessary to test each individual
ear before it is planted. A great
majority of farmers will not test
their seed corn this spring be-
fore they plant it. Some farm,
ers claim that they do not have
time, others that they don t know
how, and many have the false
impression that they can select
good seed corn by it's outward
appearance.
Now to help relieve this situa
tion, l am asking all the Rural
Schools and High Schools of the
county to test seed corn for the
farmers who do not intend to do
it themselves. Such work will
be a start in helping the farmer
to raise more corn, to fatten more
live stock, to make more meat, to
feed the boys in khaki who are
our battles at the front.
Boys and girls in the schools
will be anxious and willing to
test seed corn for their parents
and other farmers in the CON-
And | am confident that
the teachers will show their pat,
riotism by starting the work and
giving the pupils the necessary
instructions. | will offer as
suggestion that you have each
pupil bring a sample of from 10
to SO ears from home. And where
several from the same family
come to school, have some of
Them bring samples from the
who have no children
in school.
Enclosed am sending you D.
on How to Test Seed
Corn, from which may be obtain.
I'd full directions for making {
simple testers, and other infor
nation regarding the testing of
seed corn. Any method of test y
ng preferred may be used. II
llsO enclose report blank for L
you to please fill in and return II
% me when the testing is all II
completed. X
Thanking you in advance for
'our cooperation, l am Yours II
