MUCKINC MACHINE
SPEEDS LONG DRIFT

Salt Lake lining Review: The Hec-
la Mining Company Is making q rec
ord run on the Star drift to connect
the Hecla workings at Burke with the
Star mine at Mullan, Idaho, a total
distance of two miles as the drift is
being run. according to reports re-
ceived from the mine. recently.
The drift starts from the 2000-foot
level OF the Hecla and is being carried
eight feet wide and nine feet high.
Already the work has progressed D.
500 feet and is being rushed forward
at the rate of Is feet per day of "a
hours.
This great speed Is made possible
by the use Of a new mucking machine
which handles the muck on a huge
shovel operated by air. The machine
cleans up a fve-foot round of muck
while the miners are drilling over the
bar. and does 1t neatly, leaving no
muck for the miners to handle before
drilling their filters. 1t is the first
machine Of its kind to be employed
successfully In the Occur d'Alenes
and greatly Increases the speed and
cheapens the cost of tunnel driving,
Three shifts are employed in the Star
drift with two machines on the bar,
with the present rate Of speed main.
tanned. this long connecting drift will
be completed within a year.

TO GROW DESERT Il
RUBBER BRUSH


The question of producing q rab-
bit bush that will be suitable for man
ufacturing rubber on q large scale
was the prime purpose of the recent
visit Of H.. H. Hall, botanist repre-
senting the Carnegie institution, to
Falion, IT has been announced, says
the Standard.
Hall brought six specimens Of the
bush from Geriach to be transplanted
at the Federal experiment farm here.
The northern plants. he stated. con
tain seven per cent rubber while the
local plants contain two and a half
per cent. Hall had with him during
his visit a plant from Mono Lake,
California, a plant hat weighed six
ty pounds. The purpose of the ex-
perimental work is to produce a large
plant that will contain q high per-
centage Of rubber. by grating and
selection.
The plant is a typical desert plant,
according to E. knight, chemist at
stanc 8 large amount Of alkali. Con-
sequently It Is possible, II a suitable
plant can be produced, to utilize large
of land that r unfit for other
cultivation, to grow the rabbit bush.
AS a ~by-product of the rubber pro-
duction. knight stated, 1t Is possible
to manufacture a high grade of paper
from the pulp of the plant.
The method nov being perfected.
he said, is one of water flotation that
corresponds to the Oil fiotation sys-
tenn being used In the retaining of
minerals.
Knight added that the work of
Hall is of a very essential nature.
The United States is self-supporting
in every important manner except
rubber, he said. At present all rub
Der used In this country is imported
from South America and there Is
none grown here as yet. II the ex-
periments are successful 1t is expected
that a few years will see a new in
dustry in the west.

fcotton before squares form, and be
convinced
| II cotton was planted in April it is
apparent that now or within few
days, is the time to poison the old wee
wills on the cotton. before they have a
change TO destroy squares.
|, T'or-the general guidance of the cot
ton farmer we would say that the ap-
.plication Of ps!sqn to kill l.old weevils
should be made from 35 to 40 days aft
e: planting,
Let us say again what was said in a
previous. article: There is no good
reason for putting more than ono ap-
plication of poison on young cotton
before squares form. One WILD the
wo.k if it is put on at the time indi-
Gated If put on earlier it vii! miss

OF conrse.s IL q heavy rain compG
along within, twcntysfonf shouEs after
the poison is put on. then another
should be made at once. If the poison
is on the cotton "a hours before rain
it will have done its work.
: This frst application of poison as
previously stated can be made. with n
ehecse cloth bag, fertilizer, horn with
cheese cloth oyer the end, or other
simple device. Two on three pounds Of
calcium arscnate will .trea1 an acre of
small cotton, but do not Be stlngy with
it, Sec that a little dust cloud settles
over the entire cotton plant. One man
ought to cover five acres day,
Again we would emphasize. that this
one application of poison must not be
confused with. those made after the
squares form The poison must then
be dasttd on with special machines for
the purpose Whether one is going to
use machines and poison on the larger
cotton or not, or pick up squares. it
will pay TO make this one application
of poison. s' Z

when do cotton squares begin 10
form? Tbisiis the question which we
now Gear hoe mahy fatrfers can an
swer. ~. ~ Ga4,
fSv A few days ago the writer stated in
an article, that the time to- begin a
fight on the yeeyii was just befc c the
I squares begin TO form. =.
.when Is that has been the sur
prising response,
Farmers have not had OCCASION to
study tho growth habits of cotton
closely, but scientists have and hence
we turn to scientists to find out when
the, cotton plants begin to form
squares. p
I'm Bulietln, los OF the Geergia Ex-
pertinent Station. DR.. II. c. White of
the University of Georgia tells us that
cotton planted April 80 produced its
first form sorS squares, june Q. That
would make al days after planting
time, but DIR. White watched closely
and observed that they set squares on
ar average of "a days after the seed
began TO sprdut 3<tL
This cottoni had its first! bloom July
&c, or 81 days after the first square was
formed. The flrst open bollowas Sep
tenber-1. -
Thus il will be seen that the time is
near when the squares or forms ap-
pear on the cotton, which is the time
when the boil iweevils begin to do dam
ageS .-ri,
Reports have been. sent ont that the.
boil weeviis were killing young cotton.
Such reports are, OF course, without
foundations, sBoll weevils do not kill
. cotton. If any insect is killing yong
cotton plants it is not the boil weevll,
for the weevil destroys, only the cotton
squares and bolls. This. it does by it's
breeding habits and not by its feeding
habits. The fact is that when weepils
destroy the squares, the growth that
would have gone into the squares goes
into the, stalk which shoots up taller
and largerthan the plant not infested
with weeyils. @1's - &H~r 4
Thsrefore. boil weevilsz4 de not XIII
cotton plants but ymdirectg promote
their vegotative sgr9wthS 4S
1t is found that it is difficult to con-
'vinrc farmers that the boil weevil is
harmless until squares begin to forrr
and also that boil weevils can not re :.
produce until can lay eggs in tn,
Ifsthey could understand this a great,
deal OF their present uneasiness would
be alIayed. Therefore. we ttnphasize
again that boil wecvils are not now do
ing any damage to cotton. They have
no way of doing damage. They do not
destroy cotton .by feeding and there
will be no dainage until squares form
in which tsquares they can l&yN cGes
that hatch out into worms and until.
the, worm or immature weevll Begins
to feed. - ~
Again lot uslemphasize that the boil
weevil is not now producing young.
The small weevils are mature. They
are ruhts. When fagmer learns more
about boil.weeVils he viii know that
weovils change color,as they grow old
