STORIES OF GREAT INDIANS
 bu Elmo Scoff Dofson
oPECHANCANOUGH FOUGHT AT
 AGE OF 100 YEARS
,y Elmo Scoii lDoison

0H A March day, 300 years ago - the colony of Virginia witnessed the greatest Indian massacre tht American continent has ever known Within an hour 347 men, women and children had been slaughtered and 80 plantations along the James river had been reduced to six. Back of this carnival of blood was the crafty brain of one man-Opechancano chief of the Pamunkeys.
 Opechancanough's hatred for the whites dated from the time that the doughty Capt. John Smith had seized him by the ,hair' and marched him away at the point of pistol because the chief had refused to sell the starv- ing colonists food. He was soon ran. somed by his tribesmen but he never forgot the humiliation. His brother, Powhatan, held the Pamunkey in re straint but when Powhatan died Opechancanough began plotting.
 On March 22, 1922, OpechaIpcan- ough's warriors burst upon the un- guarded plantations like a storm. From sunrise to sunset they murdered and burned until the struggling little colony was almost erased from the map. It soon recovered from the disaster, how, ever, and then the VirginiaDs loosed their forces of vengeance. They de- feated the Indians.
 For years the war went on inter- mittently with treachery and cruelty on both sides. Opechancanough was believed to have been killed. But the old fellow was very much alive. Twenty-two years later he was plotting again. Although he was then one hundred years old, he commanded. his warriors to carry him into battle.
 Once more the savages swept down upon the plantations and again they killed more than 300 whites. Finally they were repulsed by Gov William Berkeley and their chief taken prisoner and was borne In triumph to Jamestown.
 There a white guard deliberately fired upon the old chief, wounding him fatally. Hearing the noise outside the lodge, made by the crowd that was trying to get look at the dying chieftain, Opechancanough ordered his attendant to lift his eyelids. The sight of the crowd filled him for moment with unnatural strength. Ris- ing to his feet, he demanded that Gov ernor Berkeley. be brought to him, Then in one final moment of majesty the old warrior confronted the gov ernGr wrathfully.
 Had it been by fortune to take you prisoner, I would not have meanly exposed you as show to my people" he exclaimed. Then he sank, back and died.

production of sulphuric acid in 1921 will be compiled by the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce.
 Records of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce show that 14,494 short tons of sulphuric acid, valued at s7Ss,1ss, were exported from this country in 1920, and 5,409 short tons, valued at $87,979, were import ed.

LARGE OUTPUT OF SULPHUR

The quantity of sulphur produced in 1920-1,255,249 long tons-was the largest produced in any year except 1918, when the output reached 1,353,- 525 long tons, according to the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. The shipments in 1920, amounting to 1,517,625 long tons, exceeded those of any other year. Two mines in Texas and one in Louisiana and Nevada furnished all the sulphur produced in this country in 1920. The value of the shipments in 1920 is estimated at $3O,OOO, ,OOO. The sulphur produced in 1921 amount ed to 1,S79,150 long tons, which is about one-third more than was pro- duced in 1920. On the other hand, the shipments in 1921 were nearly one-third less than in 1920, amounting to only 954,344 long tons, as against 1,157,625 long tons. It is therefore evident that large stocks of sulphur are now on hand. Two mines in Texas and one each in Colorado, Louisiana, Nevada and Utah contributed to the output in 1921. In 1920 and 1921, as in, former years, more than 991a per cent of the sulphur produced in this country came from mines in Texas and Louisiana.
 The exports of sulphur in 1920 amounted to 477,450 long tons, valu- ed at $S,994,350, and in 1921 to 2S5,- 762 long tons, valued at $4,524,7S8, according to records of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce. It is therefore apparent that the exports of sulphur decreased about two-fifths in 1921 and that there was drop in value of $3 a ton from 1920 to 1921. The imports of sulphur drop ped from 136 long tons in 1920 to 50 long tons in 1921, and the value decreased about $7.50 per long ton.
 Pyrites Production
 The production of pyrites in 1920 as compiled from figures collected by the United States Geological Survey, was 310,777 long tons, valued at ap- proximately $1,59IOOO. This quanti- ty was almost twice that produced in 1921-157,118 long tons-estimated to be worth about $7O0,0O0. In 1920 California led in production, contribu7 ting 12S,114 long tons, which was only a few hundred tons less than in 1919, and 9S,252 long tons in 1921. The average value per ton for the total pyrites produced in the United States was somewhat less in 1921 than in 1920, being about $5 for 1920 and $4.45 for 1921.
 The reports received from producers indicate that the market for pyrites has been very poor for the last two years, because the manufacturers of sulphuric acid, who have heretofore been the principal purchasers of py- rites, are now using more native sul- phur, which is not only cheaper but more easily handled. The slack mar ket is also reflected in the imports of pyrites (reported by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce), which fell off about one-third in 1921 from those in 1920. The imports in 1920 amounted to 332,606 long tons,

PEMISCOT FARM
BUREAU NEWS

The poultry club work is among
one of the strong features of this
years work in the county. We have
an enrolment of 100 members. 1t
would probably be of interest to
some of the members to know of a
report that one of our little club
girls gave to the county agent last
week. Hazel Fisk of Holland set As
eggs last year and followed instruc-
tions given to all of the boys and
girls who belonged to the poultry
club. She has sold more than $25.0O
worth of capons and eggs, and still
has fine bunch of pullets left from
what she grew last year . This is
only one of the many reports coming
in, which show that the children are
not only making success, but they
are making money.

HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH
IS DEATH VALLEY, CALF

Ten years of records obtained at
the United States Weather Bureau
substation at Greenland ranch in
Death Valley, California, indicate
that this is the hottest region in the
United States, and probably on earth
The average of extreme maximum
temperature reported to the United
States Department of Agriculture
since 1911 has been 125 degrees F.
At Greenland ranch temperatures
of 100 degrees F. or higher occur
almost daily during June, July and
August. The hottest month on re-
cord is July, 1917, when the mean
temperature was 1922 degrees F.
But the temperature of 1874 degrees
F. observed on July 10, 1913, is be
lieved by meteorologists to be the
highest natural-air temperature ever
recorded with standard tested
thermometer exposed in the shade
under approved conditions.

Cape county was the first county
in the State of Missouri to organize
a Farm Bureau. 1t is one of the
leading counties in the Farm Bureau
work today At their annual meet
ing, which was held on April 29, the
treasurer reported 977 members who
have paid up for 1922. and that new
members were coming in. Cape
county has had a Farm Bureau for
10 years and this goes to show that
it has been a success. We should be
able to have as strong Farm Bu-
reau in this county as Cape county
has, and no doubt could do just as
good work as they are doing up
there.

of the Farm Bureau in Missouri.
The Farm Bureau has been in
strumental in holding up a proposed
amendment to the Frisco railway
company's tariff covering reconsign-
ment and out-of-line milage charges
on melons. This amendment has
been suspended by the Missouri Pub
lie Service Commission until Sep
tember z, 1922. This means that
the amendment cannot become ef-
fective before that time and we will
get cheaper rates on the melons that
we ship this year The, Missouri
Farm Bureau has a special repre-
sentative working on this tariff reg
ulation.
This spring the County Agent has
placed 60 registered gifts and 4O
