METAL OUTPUT
DECREASES IN
OREGON IN 1921

The production of precious metals
in Oregon in 1921 Is estimated by
]. NJ. Hill of the San Francisco office
of the United States geological sur
vey, department of the Interior, to
have been approximately $1,000
ounces of gold, valued at S775,l95;
43,12O ounces of silver, 274,4OO
pounds of copper, and $50 pounds of
lead. Although this represents a de-
crease of $242,296 in value of the
gold, As per cent in the quantity OF
silver, and IS per cent in the guam
tity of copper, as compared with
1920, mining in the state at the end
of 1921 was far from being so de-
pressed as these figures might indi-
cate. The decrease was due largely
to the curtailment of the operations
Of the Corncupia and Homestead
Iron Dyke mines in the eastern part
of the state. The lessened activity
at the Iron Dyke was due directly to
the depression in the copper market.
The dredges in Baker and Grant
counties were active and made good
returns. The United States Metal
company developed a considerable
quantity of silyer-copper lead ore at
the Bay Horse mine near Hunting
ton, and expects to begin shipping
from stock piles and from the mine
in a short while. The Blue Noun
tain mines company, at Bourne, in
creased its production.
In southwestern Oregon there was
decided midsummer revival of ac-
tiyity in the region tributary to Gold
Hill and Jacksonville. The Old Syl-
yanite mine is being reopened by the
Oregon-Pittsburg Mining company.
and the Boswell mine, in the Holland
district, by the Boswell Mining com.
pany. The Opp mine, near Jackson,
was re-opened in July, and the Mil
lionaire, which has been under de-
velopment for more than a year has
been milling steadily. In addition
to these mines a number OF others
not so well known were under devel-
opment, and since the middle of 1921
several of them have been making
shipments.

Fruit trees that are allowed to
grow thick and bushy from lack of
proper pruning cannot well be thor
oughly sprayed. See that the spring
pruning leaves the trees thinned out
enough to admit an abundance of air
and sunlight, as this practice will
tend to prevent the development of
diseases and will make the regular
spraying more effective.

spraying more effective.
Woody aphis on fruit trees can
best be controlled by spraying with
a combination of lime-sulfur and
mlscible oil applied in late winter.
Regular dorman strength lime-sul-
fur, IL to 100, Is used, to which is
added two gallons of heavy miscible
oil to each 100 gallons of dilute
spray. The oil should be diluted with
an equal quantity of water, while
agitated vigorously. The oil emul-
sion is then added slowly to the
spray mixture when the tank Is
nearly full and while the water Is
well agitated Choose a period of
clear, settled weather for the appli-
cation of the spray.
