In silver dollars, edge to edge,
it would stretch 128,032 miles, or
around the earth more than four
times.
It would require SO, SO4 trucks, or

train would reach 43 miles.

These dollar bills would pave

England, France, Italy, Bel

their own particular interests at

full of cards ready to be played

Loses in the Grain Field.

A trip thru the grain fields at
this time of the year will soon
prove to one that great losses in
the grain yield in Iron county is
sustained each year from the COM
mon grain disease, chiefly the
smuts. These losses could be great
ly reduced if but little more care
in the handling and selection of
the grain for seed was practiced,
along with the field rotation that
should be in operation constantly.
Now is the time to select your seed.
Get it from fields that are free
from disease, and you will find
that by treating it with the common
grain treatments in the spring and
planting it on the land that has
been free from grain for few
years, this loss in yield from di-
.saase is almost eliminated.

DR. Stephenson, state veterinar-
ian, was called into the county this
week to investigate the disease that
was killing Mr.. Thomson's horses
at Hamiton's Fort. Mr.. Thomson
lost five head of good work horses
from the disease that DR.. Stephen
son called Bacilli Botulism. This
disease is caused by the horses
eating hay that has started to mold.
DR.. Stephenson reports that it is
likely o break out in any part of
the county at any time now, for
the stormy weather is ideal for the
growth of the bacteria which cause
the mold. Anyone having a horse
come down with it should report
it to the county agent Immediately
and the state veterinarian can be
notified. The outbreak in Iron
county is the third in this state in
the last two weeks.

LETTER FROM
DIR. MIDDLETON.

In our last issue we published
an article taken from Salt Lake
paper relative to the directors of
the Newcastle Reclamation COM
pany being sued and to which DR..
Middleton of Salt Lake, takes ex-
ception.
We publish the communication
he sent to this office in its entire
ty, and which is self-explanatory.
Editor, Iron County Record,
Cedar City, Utah. Dear sir: En-
closed please find two dollar sub
scription for one year.
u was not a little surprised to
see your copy of statement in
the Salt Lake Tribune of the suit
filed by Morgan and others against
the Newcastle directors. If it were
not my home town | should not
bother to state the facts in the case,
but ! cannot allow a statement of
that kind, with what it implies, to
go unchallenged, as my life's
method is we'll known.
THE facts in the matter are :
That the Newcastle company was
owing to various banks, and the
amount aggregated $4,000. This
money all came due and the banks
demanded payment. A directors
meeting and stockholders meet
ing was called and all the stock
holders were invited to participate
in paying off this debt and taking
the assets of the company as a
partial compensation.
The man Morgan, was director
and stakeholder and knew all about
this. Furthermore, a resolution was
adopted, holding the thing open for
years time and allowing any
stakeholder who wished to pay any
part of this loan, to do so and TO
take his pro rata of the assets of
the company. Furthermore, the
same opportunity has been held
open ever since and is open now
for any stakeholder to come in and
pay any part of the company's OBJ
legations and receive proportionate
amount of the assets.
"The mere statement of the case
in the papers would give out the
impression that this board, who
stand among the best men in Utah,
had done a fraudulent thing and
taken advantage of others. AS
matter of fact, no board in the his
tory of finance in Utah ever made
greater sacrifices to try to pull the
stockholders thru intact than did
this group of men.
$50 far as / am personally con-
cerned, if any sockholder wishes to
pay the obligation / assumed and
paid, and take his portion of the
assets of the company, am will
ing to turn over the matter TO him
at once. any time, any place.
MIR. Editor, | do not know who
you are since the change in man
agement of The Record, but it
strikes me that it might be wise on
your part, before publishing things
and putting honorable citizens in
an untrue light, that you look into
the merits of the case and find out
whether there is cause for action,
You know very well that suits are
often filed that are absurd and ri
diculous,
I'm this particular case the
courts will very soon decide the
issue, but in the meantime, | do not
want the citizens of my town to
be impressed with the idea that !
have done any fraudulent or unfair
thing to anybody.
Respectfully yours,
GEO w. MIDDLETON.
