MINES VALUED AT 400 MILLION.

Producing mines in the State of Arizona were valued at $413, O82, ,735. or 9 per cent less than a year ago. in report made pub lie by the state tax commission. The valuation placed on produc. ing mines in 1920 was S453, ,O94, 846 26.
 Tn view of the times, we consider 9 per cent loss a good showing" declared Charles R. Howe, chairman of the commis- sion, after the report had been made public. He said that the be more than one half of the assessment on all property in the state.
 According to the commission only seven counties in the state now have producing mines at the present time. Gila county leads in the valuation of it's pro- ducing mines, which was put at $115, ,479, 479.
 The other counties and the valuation put on the producing mines in each are as follows:
 Cochise, $1O5. .771, ,621; Green lee, $26, ,514, 131; Mohave, $6,- 372, ,846; Pima, $23. 384. 756; Pi- nal, $46, ,972, 546 and Yavapai, $88, ,624, 1856.
 Valuations placed on mining properties by the state tax com mission will be satisfactory to the Arizona chapter of the American Mining congress, pro- viding that valuations in like proportion will be placed on other classes of property.
 J. B. Curry, secretary of the chapter made this clear to the commission when he appeared before the members. He said that the chapter had no com plaint to make on the valuations as long as other classes of pro perty did not attempt to shift the burden.
 The point brought out by Mir. Curry was the same one made by Chas. R. Howe, chairman of the commission, before the coun- ty assessors some time ago. MT. Howe declared that all classes of property were suffering and that one could not stand for the losses of the other, but that each should carry it's own burden.
 June sales of copper on both foreign and domestic account were approximately 5O,OOO. .OOO pounds compared with 11O.OOO.- GOO in May and 75,OOO,OOO in April. Production during June was around 45, 100000 pounds, reports the Boston News Bureau.
 Relutance with customers are showing in accepting deliveries upon contracts made several months ago would seem to in dicate that jobbers and manufac- turers of articles requiring cop per and brass accessories have decided to pare their present stocks as low as possible before buying.
 German buying of copper has been small for the last week or so. France and England are buying practically none.
 Price of electrolytic copper for domestic consumption is 12 8 to 12 4 cents a pound delivered for July and 12 3 4 to 12 8 for August. Lake copper is l2 8 to 13 cents pound for July and August.
 A recent report from New York says that the demand for copper continues for only small quantities, but it is reported that some business has been done as high as 13 cents despite the fact that several dealers are still quoting odd lots at 12 4 cents. However these sales cannot be confirmed. The leading selling agencies continue to quote 13 cents delivered for nearby shlp nnntS

GROWERS STUDY CONDITIONS
Sales Concluded on Satisfactory Basis

tanned in Market.

Some cabbage growers accompanied
their car-lOt shipments to market the
past season in order to secure first
hand knowledge of shipping conditions
and marketing practices. AS Il result,
not only were sales made on fairly
satisfactory basis from the standpoint
of the producer, but the growers OBJ
tanned considerable useful experience
through observing the handling of the
cabbage in the markets. They studied
conditions affecting shipments ell
route and became better acquainted
with the demands of the large whole
sale markets. The information and
experience obtained We're of particu-
lar value to growers located in sec
lions where cabbage had not been
grown commercially in previous years.
The plan was employed by growers
having two OF more cars ready for
shipment at one time, and is detail
in the business of marketing farm
products that experts of the bureau of
n arkets, United States Department of
Agriculture, say might sometimes be
employed proftably by producers OF
other farm crops.

NUT TREES GOOD FOR SHADE
Japanese Walnut Is Especially APP
propriate for Farm and Door,
Yard Planting.

The Japanese walnut offers possibili-
ties for landowners who are seeking
to plant nut trees for shade or other
purposes; say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. 1t
is nearly as hardy as the black walnut
and is by no means uncommon in
northern and eastern states, where
it is especially appropriate for farm
and door-yard planting. For the
present, Seeding trees will have to be
relied upon almost entirely, as very
few budded or grated trees are avail
able.
This nut has been confused with the
Persian or sO-called English walnut,
although the two are quite unlike The
Japanese is dwarfish species, with
dull-green rough leaflets. often as many
as Is or II to the leaf, and bears nuts
in racemes of dozen or more.
The shells are thinner than those of
the black walnut. but thicker than
those of the better Persian walnuts.
The flavor Of the kernels is much like
that OF the American butternut.

Losses in long-distance shipments

Of Shiny soft rot cause serious losses

"This decay develops rapidly In
transit when temperature conditions
are favorable" say investigators OF
the bureau. 1T starts at places where
the leaves have been bruised or

diseases. Other causes of deteriora-
ton in transit are following and wilt

CONTROL OF WHEAT DISEASE

Methods for controlling flag smut,
a destructive disease of wheat, are
given in Farmers Bulletin 1918, Flag
Smut of Wheat and Its Control, is
sued for free distribution by the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
The disease was discovered in 1919
near Granite City, Madison county.
ILL.,, and in 1920 was found in Ill
fields confined to Al square miles.
Black stripes running lengthwise in
the leaves and leaf sheaths are typical
of flag smut. Diseased plants are
stunted and rarely head. The disease
is spread by spores carried on the
seed, and by spores left in the field
on infected plant material or on the
ground, where they may be scattered
in various ways, and infect wheat
seedlings in the fall.

tape. Sometimes 1t is advantageous
to fight the grasshopper army with
fire, and it is often necessary to
spread poisoned bait upon the prop
erty of nonresident landowners. Here
are two points where legal advice is
desirable. and the leaders should
know their exact rights and limits in
these matters before the time comes
for them to act to save the crops of
the community.
If the district is divided into
defense areas and each area put I'M
der the supervision of man who
knows grasshopper habits and how to
use the weapons which the organiza-
ton has put in his hands, there Will
be no waste of materials or effort
when the foothills disgOrge their hun
cry hordes Lastly, the wider the CO.
operation the better the results will
be. 1t does no good to drive the hop
pers from one district, if they are al
lowed to settle and feed upon an
other-passing the pest along to the
other fellow does not afford perma-
nent relief, and it puts an extra hard
ship upon ones neighbor. The assault
should be simultaneous throughout the
whole infested area; farm should CO.
operate with farm, village with vii
lage, and county with county, so that
! every leap that the hopper makes to
escape the frying pan will land him
in the fire, the specialists say.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
There is nothing so good as poisoned
bran for taking the hop out of u
grasshopper and there is no better
way of buying and distributing the
bran than through community or
ganization, specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
find. In the areas where the grass
hoppers come down on the farm crops
like all the plaques of Egypt there
should be rasshopper-fighting organ
izations. just as there are fire-fghting
units in every city. Fighting grass
hopper invasion without the help of
the neighbors is like trying to put out
a fire in powder factory with one
bucket Of water.
In the Pacific states the vast, I'M
cultivated areas of mountains, foot
hills, and grasslands afford ideal
breeding grounds for at least eight
common species of grasshopper. I'm
disturbed, the pests can mass their
forces in the spring and be ready for
a descent upon the alfalfa fields and
cultivated crops of the farmer when
weather conditions permit There
seems to be little hope of destroying
| the graSshOppers in these isolated
breeding areas and for that reason
specialists Of the bureau of entomology.
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, maintain that it will be many
years before the grasshOpper menace
disappears from the West. But, while
the eight plaques cannot be exter'
minated at their source, they can be
met with a systematic, well-directed
barrage Of poisoned bait, fire, and
other weapons for control when they
attempt to invade the cultivated
fields.
Preparing for the Attack.
Every locality should have an or.
ganiZation fully equipped and pre-.
pared to meet the grasshopper on
slaught All preparations should be
made early in the spring before the
insects have left their breeding
grounds. The organization should be
directed and controlled by efficient ant
energetic leaders, and it ought to have
the cooperation and support Of every
farmer in the community as well as
the landowners who hold title to the
remote areas from which the plague
spreads.
An equitable method of raising
funds for the work can be arranged

NEED FOR NEW CABLE.

While it is unfortunate that the item appro- prating 150000 for the duplication of the Alaska cable was eliminated the Deficiency Appropria- tien Bill there is hope in the announcement that it will be included in the 1922 budget. The Alaska cable is a necessity to business and the Government service n Alaska It is paying good interest the investment in it, and that it ought to be renewed is being demonstrated several times each year when the breaks and the cable is idle, anywhere from few days to a few weeks while costly repairs being made.
 The business of Alaska is great enough to have cables It ought to be so that the service would not be interrupted at all. If not two cables, there should be repair ship each end of the line and particularly, the Alaska end. The breaks interruptions in the cable service usually occur end of the line of the other and more often in the inland waters of the Alaska end than elsewhere.

OIL FIELDS PRODUCE GREAT TAX
 RETURNS.

Mexico is now collecting something more than 900 month in taxes oil The rate of taxation is 10 barrel production and export tax of 15 cents barrel fuel oil, 60 cents gasoline and 12 cents kerosene. This is an average of IS cents a barrel the oil exported, 2S cents barrel including the production tax. The largest tax payer is the Mexican Petroleum Company Of which E. l.. Doheny of Los Angeles is the prin- cpal owner. Its taxes in the month of September amount to $1, 107 900 of which $446000 pro duetion and $660,000 exports
 In spite of this heavy tax however, the Mexican oil industry it is said is paying handsome profits
