MULCH AS SOIL PROTECTION
Chief Value Is in Keeping Surface
From Packing Under Weight of
Snow or Heavy Rains.

The mulch is of value chiefly in
protecting the surface soil, keeping it
from packing under the weight of
SHOWS or heavy packing rains. The
mulch also prevents heaving as a re-
suit of thawing and freezing. 1t pro-
tects the crowns and roots, adds fer
tility and sometimes retards budding
out in the spring. This may be de-
sirable when there are late froSts.

TO UTILIZE LOWER GRADE

As the result of . recent meeting
between government officials and the
Iron and Steel Institute, . meeting Of
steel manufacturers was called to ar
range il possible for = modification Of
the practice of steel making, whereby
. much lower grade of manganese
and larger supply Of speigeleisen
could be used in the manufacture Of
steel.
On behalf of the steel men. the Iron
and Steel Institute agreed to accept
rs standard 20 per cent ferro-manga-
nese and 16 per cent spiegeleisen IS
against former figures Of so and 25
respectively. This is in line with the
policy of the government to encourage
to the fullest possible extent the use
of lower grades Of domestic manga
nese ores in order to relieve shipping.
The use of lower grade manganese
ore will enable Colorado producers to
largely increase their output. Recent
Investigations by the government indi-
cate that the possible manganese pro-
duction of Colorado is greater than
any other known source in the West.

GET YOUR SMOKED GLASSES
READY FOR THE ECLIPSE

Everyone in the earstern part of the
state has been giving much attention
to the total eclipse Of the sun, which
is to take place on June 8. Gunnison
will probably be affected very little,
but still the eclipse will be worth look
ing at. The "Colorado Medicine"
published an interesting article on
May 1st, telling Of the ways to prevent
the eclipse from being injurious to the
eye sight. Everyone has noticed that
after looking at any brightly lighted
object, afterwards objects will appear
before the eyes which last from q
few minutes to years, according to
the damage done to the retina.
When the eclipse Of the sun occur
red in northern Europe in 1912, there
were $500 cases, most Of these lasted
only q few weeks, btt in q certain
proportion the impairment Of vision
was permanent.
Noted doctors advise people to
smoke glass with lamp black, or use q
Photographic film that has been over
exposed and then developed. II these
are taken and carefully
tested before hand, the eclipse will
not be injurious to the eyesight.

of the day; wherever the band march
ed, the crowd followed and many beau

evening train swung round the bend,
the music rang out its hearty greet
ing to those jolly boys from the dif-
ferent towns on the western slope.
Sundays train was the longest mar
row gage which has pulled out of here

Faces $5ooo Fine. End Not Yet.

Outside Of Crested Butte case, the
first Of our citizens to feel the force
Of the federal food laws is J. B. Out
calf, from whose ranch home 500
pounds Of wheat -four were taken ON
Wednesday night.
The flour was brought into town
by E. L. Sargent, food administrator
for the county. He was accompanied
on the trip by C. H. Stone, chairman
of the Council of Defense; Sheriff Pat.
Hanlon, and James Teeslink. The
flour was found in the loft of barn,
hidden under the hay.
Mr.. Outcalt had not declared hav-
ing the excess flour as required under
the rules Of the food administration,
but word had been received that it
was actually on his place.
He was absent at the time, looking
after his cattle on Spring creek, but
other members of the family told
where the flour was, and the three
large barrels were brought into town
for storage.
Mr.. Outcalt's offense is much more
serious than he probably understands
it. The federal fine for such an Of
fense is as high as $5,000.00, and he
stands in this jeopardy now. It is al
so stated that Mr.. Outcalt only gave
27 cents to the recent Red Cross drive,
and that although abundantly able,
he only bought $50 Liberty Bond,
SO that feeling against him is rather
tense.
The matter 10 now boiling and will
undoubtedly come to head as soon -
he returns from the hills and faces
the charge in person.

ais Gunnison county has kept pace

"Here!"
However, now comes the sticler-

tin? At present the demand is ten
times what the tin mines at Cornwall
can supply and the proposition is made
to mine tin in Bolivia. Both these
distant points require large ship ton

Mining men have again demonstrat-

ganixation in securing the passage Of
the Pittman bill. The government
now stands ready to pay 800 per
ounce for all silver produced In the
U. 8. instead Of 81 cents q proposed
by the administration last November.
This does not mean that silver can
not go above $1.0O per ounce, since
there is nothing to prevent producers
from selling at . higher price II It is
offered. It is probable, however, that
because of the embargo ON silver ex-
ports, producers will not be able to
sell to consumers outside of the U. s.
at a higher figure, especially II high
er price should disturb financial con-
ditions established under the agree
ment made with the Allies prior to
the passage of the Pittman bill.
