The average annual export of silver
out Of India for the same period of
time was 16.530,000 ounces
/ The excess of imports over exports
was 67,060.000 ounces of silver per
year. That is why India is known
as the sink for silver" for this silver
never again reappears in the markets
! of the world. During the fifteen years
considered above, over one billion
ounces Of silver have disappeared into
this sink. never again to appear in
the worlds markets, and this same
process has been going on for much
longer than fifteen years. and, in all
probability, it win continue at an in
creased rate in the future.
Subtracting the 67,606,000 ounces of
silver absorbed yearly by India, from
the 100000 0ounces of the available
worlds supply, after the demands of
the arts have been met, we have g.
394, 600 ounces left with which to meet
the demands of the world for silver
for coinage purposes. How far this
amount will go towards this end is
indicated by the following figures:
Worlds Demand for Silver.
The worlds demand for silver for
coinage purposes, outside of the whole
Of the British empire, has averaged
for the above period of fifteen years,
150,00O,O00 ounces annually. or more
than twice as much as will be avail
able at the present rate of production
after the demands of India and the
arts have been satisfied. Re-coinage
of old and mutilated coins and old
sllverware and jewelry has probably
supplied 25,0OO,000 ounces of this de-
mand, reducing the actual amount to
about 125,000,00O ounces. Summing
this up we have as follows:

welt, chiefly is famed for the fact that
within its area is included the Oldest
living things known to man. These
are the giant sequoia, or redwood
trees, which grow in great groves
scattered through the parks area OF
1852 acres, situated in Tulare
county, California.
AS in the case of other national
parks of the United States, the Sc
quota national park was created fo>
the people as recreational ground.
with the added object of preserving
the great trees from the hands of
vandals Adjoining it is the General
Grant national park containing 1886
acres, one-half of which is in Tulare
county and the other half I'M Fresno
county.
Trees Exceed 100000

Diameter Height

Some idea of the age of these trees
may be conceived when it is said that
scientists express the opinoin that
many of them were growing saplings
at the time the Tower of aBbel was
in process of construction, according
to biblical history. Thousands of them
had attained lusty growth before
the birth of Christ in Bethlehem.
Counts 1000 Year Growth.
On the stump of one of the many
fallen giants, John Muir, the natural
list, counted more than 1000 rings, a
ring for every year OF its life. It's
trunk, exclusive of the bark was 35.S
feet in diameter. AS the bark of the
largest sequoias is two fet or more
in thickness, this giant must have
measured 40 feet in diameter when
1t was growing. Fallen trunks, which
has thus lain for centuries, remain
and unaltered.

Spray Recommendations
BY Leroy Childs

Weather conditions have been such
as to make egg laying of the codling
moth very irregular this springs.
Eggs were found nearly a month ago
but since that time prevailing cold
weather has prevented egg deposition
on a majority Of the nights. This
means that the crest Of the laying and
Matching has not been reached Con-
sidering the warm weather that is at
hand the height of Matching can be ex-
pected around about June Is. With
this in mind all growers should plan to
get their spray on by that time at
least. Two or three days earlier than
this date would be safer and the re.
suits would undoubtedly be better.
This application is an extremely i'm
portant one and must not be omitted If
good worm control is to pe attained.
The spray that was applied Is or 20
days ago will not control majority of
these late worms.
Upper Valley orchardists who have
had trouble with colding moth should
apply the spray about June % in order
that best results be obtained.
More attention must be given the
spraying of the tops of the trees. Ex-
animation of tree tops in good many
orchards show that only portion of
the fruit has been covered with spray
