COUNTY ASSESSORS FIGURES
AID EXTENSION-WORK PLANS

In making county and community
programs of demonstrations and 9TH
er extension activities for the year,
extension agents in Oklahoma report
to the United States Department: of
Agriculture that the use Of county
census and assessors figures as O.
basis for determining the County's
major agricultural problem sis prov
ing very successful. A meeting of
the men and women from each com.
munity is called each year by the
county agricultural agent for the pur
pose of maxim ga program for the
years extension work.
In these meetings it has been found
that these figures are of great ser
vice in showing agricultural condi
tlons of the county in concise and
comprehensive way. In one instance
1t was found that about 81 per cent
OF the county's agricultural land was
farmed by tenants. Discussion
brought out the fact that the Federal
farm loan was practically unknown
IN the county and plans were made to
conduct a campaign to bring the bene
hts OF the loan to the attention of the
communities as possible means of

SUPPORT SHOWS
CONFIDENCE IN METHODS

In the course of 26 poisoning dem
onstrations held in Lane county,
Wash, between March and June, to
show the method of controlling the
gray digger" about 5000 pounds of
strychnine-coated barley were fed to
the ground squirrels. Thousands of
moles, pocket gophers, and akunks
were also destroyed. The encourage
ing feature Of this campaign from
the point Of view Of the Biological
Survey Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the extension
agent who co-operated in the demon
strations was that the Lane county
authorities and the local agricultural
council each provided $3.50 toward the
undertaking, and business houses,
railroads, and farmers all co-operated
in the substantial manner known as
"going down into their pockets" with
the result that the county is now al
most cleaned up.

ROAD OFFICIALS CONSIDER
LINKING UP STATE SYSTEMS

A meeting of New England State
highway officials and engineers of
the Bureau of Public Roads of the
United States Department of Aeri-
culture, on June 20, marks an impor-
tant point in the development Of high
ways in this country. This is the
flrst meeting ever held between Off
cials empowered to act, for the pur-
pose of laying out system of high
ways to serve an area larger than a
single State. 1t is the first Of series
of similar meetings which will be
held between the Federal officials and
highway authorities Of various groups
of States, the object of which will be
the solution Of the problem for the
whole country.
This progressive step, long wished
for by all users of the highways, can
be attributed to the requirements of
Federal-aid legislation. 1t is required
that all Federal aid be spent on a
connected system of highways de-
signed to serve the needs of the whole
country. Tentative systems have
been submitted by all except eigth
States, and now the serie sof meet
ings Is being held to connect and CO.

advice could be given to the men
who are out than that they return to
the service Immediately. They have
misjudged the situation that con-
fronted them, but it is not too late
to escape many of the evil results.
1t is to be hoped that the leadership
OF these organizations will perceive
the hopelessness of any effort to init
midatc the American public and will
find way to lead the men back into
the adoption of peaceful methods, be-
fore some regrettable catastrophe has
occurred that will detract from the
unquestioned strength and usefulness
OF the organizations involved, it is
does not destroy them outright.
This is an individual utterance, but
it expresses, in substance, the senti-
ments of large majority of the
members of the railroad labor board.

WORLDS LARGEST FISH PIER
SITUATED AT BOSTON, MASS


Boston has the largest fish pier in
the world, says the Bureau of Chem
lstry, United States Department Of
Agriculture, which supervises inter-
state shipment of fish under the Fed
eral food and drugs act. The pier is
devoted exclusively to the fish busi-
ness. is 1900 feet long, 300 feet wide
and is paved with brick and concrete
in such manner that it can be easily
cleaned by flushing with water. The
pier was built by the State of Mas
sachusetts at a cost of $3,000,O00.
Eighty vessels can discharge their
cargocs there at the same time.
The shiploads of fish are sold Al
aut ton to wholesale dealers, bids bo
ing based upon the statement Of the
car tain of each vessel as to the
amount and quality of each variety OF

The underlying principle is that it is
better for the immediate parties and
for the people at large that contro-
versles between the carriers and their
employees should be settled in the
court of reason rather than the court
OF force. 1t is believed that an i'm
partial tribunal, composed of repres-
entatives of the three carriers of this
industrial trianble, will attain justivc
far more often than will threats, in
timidation, mobs, riots, bombs, tor
ches, murder and all the forces of vio-
lence incident to strike.
The shop crafts have been fairly
heard before the Labor Board. They
have appealed from the sober con-
ceratlve Judgment of this Board to
the strike, with al Its inevitable, un-
American subversion of law and or
der.
For the Labor oBard to yield to
measures of this kind would be an
outrage upon public decency and
would hasten the enthronement of
anarchy in this country.
Let it be understood, however, that
the Railroad Labor Board is always
open to any class of railway employees
who approach it in conformity to the
law for the presentation of any gricv-
ance. The Board welcomed the an
nouncement policy of the Maintenan-
ce of Way employees to proceed with
in the limits Of the law. Their course
points the only fesible way for the
Shop Crafts. Their conduct will meet
with the approval of the public and
with the responsive gratitude of rail
way arrangements.
Upon one question, the striking
employees should not be deceived.
Their leader has said that the strik-
ers are no longe remployes of the
railways, and they have thus automa-
tjcally abandoned all the rights thew
possess under their agreements and
under the decisions of this Board, in
GLIDING their seniority. This is not
the Boards action. 1t is their own
action.
Many carriers are giving their for
mer employees the opportunity to re-
enter the service within limited
time. 1t must be understood now
that men remained in the service and
those who are now entering it will
have rights Of seniority that this
Board could not ignore. No better

WOMEN SAVE SEWING TIME
ATTENDING PATTERN CLASS

If woman's time sewing at home
Is worth 30 cents an hour, and if,
through learning to make a founda
tion pattern according to the United
States Department Of Agriculture,
she saves an hour or more of time
each sewing day, the 371 women in
z training classes in Dunklin County,
Mo-, who saved total of 408 hours
after they had studied with the home
demonstration agent, must obviously
have saved time worth $734.40. These
women made I'd foundation patterns
among them, 324 undergarments, 469
outer garments, and 148 garments
that would have been bought or hired
made under ordinary circumstances.
In addition to the time saved, and its
value, these garments represented q
saving of $975 cash outlay.

STATEMENT ISSUED BY
RAILROAD LABOR BOARD

The Transportation Act, under
(which the Railroad Labor Board func-
tions, makes the enforcement of the
Boards decisions largely dependent
ION public sentiment and imposes up
on the Board the duty of publishing
information relative to the "respec-
. tive privileges, rights a and duties
: of carriers and employees"
In order that the general public,
the railway management and the shop
|. craft employees may understand the
attitude Of the Board toward the
strike anr may have correct con-
ception of the Boards powers and
duties in the premises, the following
statement is made public.
The law confers upon the Board no
powers of arbitration, mediation and
!. conciliation, by virtue of which it can
intervene between the carriers and
sthe striking employees and, by give
and take process, effect comprom-
ise of any differences that may exist
AS matter of fact, the oBard
hears, considers and decides disputes
much in the same manner that a
court does, and endeavors to reach and
render judgments based upon the law
and the evidence. A carrier and it's
employees, in conference, may COM
promise their differences, but, hav-
ing failing to agree, the Labor Board
''can only adjudicate, but not comprom-
Use.
Having once decided a controversy,
; the Boards jurisdiction is at an end,
: unless, upon proper petition, the
case is rc-opened and re-heard
= There seems to be a misapprehcn-
sion in some quarters to the effect
that the Board may settle the strike
by initiating some voluntary modifi-
cation of its decisions complained Of.
Everybody concerned should under
stand that it would be grossly i'm
proper for the Board to pursue such
a course and that it has no intention
Of so doing.

PLAN OPERATION PLACER GROU ND ALONG COLORADO
2240 Acres of Placer Lands Located Near Mouth of
 The Grand Canyon

KINGMAN, July 15.-Ed Carson has located 3240 acres of placer ground on the Colorado near the mouth of the Grand Canyon.
 Carson and associates will make an effort to operate the placers as soon as the heated spell subsidies, and it is possible that machinery adequate to demands will be installed.
 The placers were located some years. A. A. Hassan, one of the best known placer mining engineers in the country, was engaged by eastern in- terests to make an examination of the ground and the report is one of the most exhaustive and comprehensive of any report ever made on placer mines in the United States. So im- pressed was Hassan with the possibil- ities of the ground that he tried to in- terest his friends in the venture, but the war and other conditions initiated against investments of this class and for the time being the mines have been dormant The values,e ascertain cd after painstaking examination, were found to be good. Machinery is necessary to handle the gravel on a large scale, and it is to be hoped that the new outfit will be able to make the grade.-Mohave County Min CT.

EQUIPMENT AND
 OILS LEAD IN
 DULL TRADING
Foreign Exchanges Better Allied Rates Gaining From
 Four to Ten Points

NEW YORK, July 15.-The monot ony of today's short and perfunctory session of the stock market was re lieved by the divergent movements of a few leaders in the equipment and oil divisions.
 Extreme advances of one to almost five points were made by Baldwin American and Lima Locomotives, Spring, Pullman, New York Air Brake and a few affiliated issues, while do nestle oils and several of the Mex ican, group, were under constant sell ing pressure.
 Strength in the equipments which later ecompassed several of the inde- pendent steels, as well as coppers, mo- tors and few unclassified issues was ascribed to reports that the leading railway systems are soon to issue contracts for supplies.
 Weakness of oils, followed advices from mid-continent and Pacific coast points announcing cuts in crude pro- ducts because of over-production. In poist of fact, the oils seemed espe- cially vulnerable, yesterdays rally of several of the leaders being evidently Tn the nature-O fanother squeeze of the shorts.
 Trading in rails was nominal and without material changes, save in sey- eral of the junior issues. American Woolen. International Paper, Corn Pro ducts, Beech Nut Packing, Sears-Roe- buck and American Smelling contri- buted variablN to the markets con structive side,vbut final prices were mixed. Sales amounted to 300,OOO shares.
 Foreign exchanges were better, in most instances rising to the weeks highest levels. Demand sterling got above $4.44, allied rates gained 4 to 10 points, and the German mark also rallied, though not to it's recent best. Neutrals, which had been sensitive to conditions in Western Eur ope also improved.

To Pay 9 Millions of Copper Bonds
 During Next Month
(New York Times.l


 The Copper Export Association an- nounced yesterday that it would call for payment next month $3,0OO .0OO of its 1923 bond issue and S6,0O0,000 of it's 1924 issue, the former six months and the latter one year in advance of maturity. This will leave outstand- ing on Aug. 15 total of S1S,OOO, ,O00 in per cent bonds Of this amount S6,O00,000 will mature Feb. 15, 1924, and $12,000.000 Feb. 15. 1925.
 The bond issue, which was made Feb. 15. 1921, originally consisted of S6,000000 maturing at the end of one year, s10,0O0,000 in two years, S12,- 000,000 in three years and $12,O00,0 ,000 in four years. The issue was put out because of the severe depression then prevailing in the copper market. It was against the credit of the com panies participating, comprising most of the leading copper producers, and was secured specifically by 400,000,00O pounds of copper. The present bonds outstanding show that of this original amount, only 1S0,000,000 pounds of copper remain unsold.

REPAIR DAMAGE
 CAUSED BY BUILT
 HIT TING PLANT
Direct Current Generator: at Copper Queen Smelter
 Again in Commission

The Copper Queen shelter is now running on normal production schedule damage caused by lightning striking the big plant on July having been repaired. The speedy resumption of work, after the smelter had been prac- tically put out of commission by the storm, was due, according to Copper Queen officials, to the cooperation and hard work of shelter employees and electricians from the outside, all of whom worked at top speed to re- pair the damage.
 One thing learned from the strik- ing of the plant during the storm was that so-caIled lightning arresters" cannot be completely depended upon.
 The bolt struck the direct current at the smelter, passed through light ming arresters" and burned out coils on two direct current generators, put ting them completely out of commits sion. There are four direct current generating units at the plant; three are used when the load is heavy and only two when the load drops.
 Two were in use when the storm hit the big plant and one was undre- going repairs.
 A, survey of damage was made i'm mediately after the lightning struck the circuit. Number reverbatory was slowed down and the burners cut back. It was found that there was insufficient power to permit of getting coke to the blast furnaces, so the blast was shut off and the settlers drained.
 Three shifts of electricians were u' once put to work on the two disabled generators. Within a remarkably short time the damage resulting from the lightning had been repaired, ant operations were resumed.

Old Dominion Miu Will Soon Be Increased to 1000 Ton Capacity;
 Rich Ore Body Holding Up Good

GLOBE, July 15.-Plans for remodel ing the Old Dominion company's mill, when carried out, will increase it's capacity from 700 tons per day to 1000 tons and should insure higher extrac- tion of metal and lower the cost of concentration, according to General Manager w. G. Mcbride.
 Improvements in the mill to effect these desirable results have been. de signed by members of the company s staff and the work will be done by company mechanics without the em- ployment of additional help. The cost of remodeling the mill, including new equipment, will be approximately $50,- 900. About three months will be re- quired to make the desired changes and it will not be necessary to shut dow nthe mill while the work is in progress.
 Modern Equipment Planned
 The new equipment will include Hummer, screen to replace the old shaking screens, additional tables, and additional Callow cells in the Notation section. Also some changes will be made in the flow sheet.
 The Boston News Bureau say that at no time since it resumed produc- tion early this year has the perpound cost been higher than the selling
