COPPER DEPOSIT
 OF ARIZONA IS
 RICHEST; REPORT
OF THE INTERIOR ISSUES REPORT BY GEoLOGI- CAL SURVEY ON THE UNITED VERDE, ARIZONA

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 29. (P The romance as we'll as the scienti- flc and technical aspects of metal mining is set forth in a recent publi- cation of the Geological Survey of the department of the Interior, entitled "The ore deposits of the Jerome and Bradshaw mountains quadrangles, Arizona" The area includes the fam ous United Verde and United Verde Extension mines, as we'll as many that are smaller and less we'll known.
 The first discoveries of placer gold in this region were made in 1863 but they did not prove profitable. Be- ginning in 1875, many rich gold and silver bearing lodes were found, and by 1885 many of these were exhaust ed, although others were productive until 1905. The United Verde deposit was worked for silver about 1880, but the value of the copper output soon exceeded that of the silver, and it is now the richest deposit of pyrotic cop per in the United States. Since 1909, the dividends paid by this mine have exceeded s63,OOO,OOO, and although 2,5O0 feet deep, it will probably be very productive for many years. The United Verde Extension ore bodies near by, discovered in 1915, have been highly productive, and to date over s2O,OOO,OO0 in dividends has been paid by this mine. Both mines are in bodies of experiencing pyrite. The production of the mines of this group to date has amounted to about $780, O0O,0OO
 The other metal mines of the area are in simple veins containing gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc miner als. Some of these have been work ed at considerable profit and have been explored to 1000 or 1,5OO feet below the surface. Many others have shown steady decline in grade at less depth. In some a sharp decline in the yield of gold and silver took place at water level, 100 to 400 feet be- low the surface, and it is concluded that the upper zone has been enrich ed during erosion.
 Tables are given in the report show ing the details of annual production of the metals since 1900 for each of the 15 or more districts in the area described. The total value of all metals produced to the end of 1923 is estimated at about S30O,O0O,OOO.

Al Jones Lodge at
 Kusilof Closes, Season

Al Jones, young oldtimer of this dis trict who has been making extensive improvements to his hunting lodge near Kusilof, Kenai peninsula district, during the past summer, and who has had several parties from the States in the field, has closed down for the sea- son and is now in Anchorage, recent arrivals report. MT. Jone's lodge is situated right in the very. heart of the wilderness, game of all kinds abounding from almost the threshold. He is we'll known in Seward and will probably be visitor here shortly en route to the States.

Better Soil Fertility
bv Using Rotation Plan

The Ohio experiment station has
doubled the average acre yields on Its
farm during the last 25 years. For
a number of years that institution has
been getting an avers re Of 70 bushels
of corn, 80 bushels or wheat and 20
tons Of clover hay per acre. These
crops have been obtained on fields that
have been in a three-year rotation for
a quarter Of a century, consisting OF
corn, wheat and clover. Prof. +. T..
Bear of the soils department OF that
station says that not only must a rota-
ton of that sort be faithfully carried
out In order to obtain such yields, but
that a lot of other things must be done
as well. This is expressed in the fol-
lowing words: "The rotation must In
clude clover and alfalfa or some other
legume at least once every third year.
The crops must all be fed or enough
concentrates must be fed to compen-
safe for the hay or grain sold. The
barnyard must not leak. All liquids
must be saved. Hot fermentation OF
the manure must be stopped. Acid
phosphate must be used regularly.
Limestone must be applied as required.
Then high yields are guaranteed"

Put End to Slavery
Under British Flag

Serfdom In England was finally
abolished in 1860. For century aft
erward colOnists and others on a visit
to England were allowed to bring
their slaves with them; but by a
judgment of the queens bench, In
1772, when an attempt was made to
regain possession of a fugitive slave,
1t was decided that no man In Great
Britain could be held as slave. An
act for the abolition of slavery
throughout the British colonies was
passed by the British parliament, chief
ly through the exertions of William
Wherefore, In 1888, and became effec-
tive on August 1, 1884 Their owners
were compensated by the British gov
eminent to the extent of f20,000,000
(about $97,000,000) sterling. Slavery
was abolished in the East Indies, then
under the control of the East India
company, In 1888. Great Britain had
nothing to do with slavery in South
America or the United States.-Mont-

Overhauling Tractor Is
Proper Job for Winter

What are some of the main things
to check up when overhauling trac-
tor?
The ignition system, the oil pump
If the tractor has one, valves, pistons
and rings, bearings, gears and carbu-
rotor should be examined and fixed If
necessary.
These things should be considered
by every tractor owner during the win
ter months when the tractor is ordi-
narily idle. Time spent in overhaul
ing the tractor this winter may mean
time and money saved next spring and
summer when most farmers can i'll
afford to neglect farm work long
enough to make tractor repairs.
If your tractor has a high-tension
magnetic that has been working all
right leave 1t alone. However, if some
thing Is wrong with the magnetic it is
not advisable for anyone but a good
mechanic to try to do much with it.
The oiling system should be gone
over. There is nothing more neces-
sary than plenty of good Oil to pre-
vent wear and to keep the tractor In
running order.

Koch's Brilliant Use
of Gift "PIavfhing"

The birthday gift of microscope to
Robert Koch by his wife, was the first
step in the transformation of strug-
CLING country doctor into brilliant
scientist, one of the worlds great mi
crobe hunters.
With his new plaything, as Mrs.
Koch had called it, he discovered the
germ of anthrax and began an exhaus-
tive series of experiments that proved
the theory that had been voiced by
Louis Pasteur, that there were such
things as terrible man-killing microbes,
says Paul DeKruif in "Microbe Hunt.
ers."
He also identified the white plague
bacillus and the microbe of cholera.
Then he learned how to grow disease
germs and by injecting healthy ami
mails, proved that maladies were
caused by the rapid multiplication of
the tiny organisms.

FARM NOTES

If we plan ahead, we should never
get far behind.
Sudan grass Is the best nonlegume
to use for hay pasture.
The formalin treatment for oat
smut is well known to farmers and
scarcely needs to be restated.
Crop rotation can be practiced usu-
ally with no outlay of money, whereas
the use of commercial fertilizers re-
uuires an expenditure Of money.
Cyanide gas reduces rat population
In corn cribs, barns, ETC., as quickly
and effectively as anything yet dis
covered, recent trials In many Iowa
counties indicate.
Corn is hogged down on large num-
Der of farms In practically all of the
Middle Western states, and the work
Of the experiment stations shows that
it is profitable practice.

Manure Should Be Taken
Directly to the Fields

There is only one place where ma
nure can be exposed to rains, and yet
not lose it's value. That is on the
field. If the manure Is comparatively
free from noxious weed seeds, this is
the very place for 1t, hauled and dis
tributed direct from the barns, and il
no field is ready for it, manure will
benefit the pasture. While piling ma
nure in the field puts the plant food
there, it gives the spots that the pile
covers, the major portion. 1 saw one
wheat field where this method had
been used and the wheat at the spots
was much higher and deeper green,
says writer in an exchange. Every
farm should have manure spreader
ready to receive all the manure as
taken out, and it should be under a
shed.

CULTIVATION AND ROTATION
NEEDED TO INCREASE CROPS

without fertilizers and rotation in this
particular experiment was 23.4 bushels
per acre. The gain due to using fer
tilizers and lime was 90 bushels per
acre, and the gain due to rotation
alone was 27.S bushels, or practically
three times that obtained from the fer
tiliZers and lime. The total increase
effected by conjoining rotation and the
use Of fertilizers was 442 bushels per
acre, or II bushels greater than the
sum of their separate increases.
Other experiments have corroborat-
ed these results, which emphasize the
Importance of recognizing all three
factors in striving for permanent soil
productivity.

Million 'Reactors" Have
Been Eliminated in Va.
rious Sections.

The Department of Agriculture,
try, has just announced that federal
inspections show tuberculosis among
cattle and swine has decreased gen.
orally. According to the report, since
1917 more than a million "reactors'
to the bovine tuberculosis tests have
been removed from the cattle of the
United States. Because tuberculosis
poultry have been injecting swine,
the report says, fowl tuberculosis is
now receiving special study.
Text of Announcement.
The full text of the announcement
follows:
According to charts prepared in the
bureau of animal industry, United
States Department of Agriculture, boz
vine tuberculosis has shown a gen.
eral decline since 1916, and tuber-
culosis of swine has decreased since
1924. The charts, which are based
on records Of federal meat inspection,
cover sufficiently large number of
animals to be considered representa-
tive of conditions in the cattle and
swine industries.
Though the Improvement Of the tu-
berculosis situation is shown, infec-
ton among cattle and swine received
at federally inspected packing estab-
lishments Is still rather extensive.
Records for the fiscal year 1925 show
that nearly IA per cent of swine
showed tuberculosis to some extent,
though LESSONS were of a minor ma
ture in a large proportion of the cases.
The corresponding figure for cattle
was 1.3 per cent for the same period.
In 1916 about 2.3 per cent of cattle
showed infection, per cent more than
last year. In 1924 about 1872 per cent
of the swine inspected were diseased.
Reports from field workers indicate
that the large extent of infection

Of Importance to Recognize
Three Factors.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
1t Is frequently pointed out by the
bureau of soils of the United States
Department Of Agriculture that the
nation will have to depend upon the
cultivation Of the soil for about one
third of it's combined wheat corn and
oats produced; upon crop rotation for
another third, and upon the use of
manures and commercial fertilizers for
the other third. 1t is logical that cul-
tivation aids both rotation and fertili-
zation, that rotation aids in rendering
fertilizers more effective, and that fer
tilizers increase the value of rotation.
Recent experiments in Illinois, how
ever, bring out the fact that rotation
and the use of fertilizers, when prac-
ticed together, may interact to the ex-
tent that their conjoin effects, as meas
ured in terms of crop increases, may
be not only equal to but greater than
the sum of their separate effects.

"One can grow his own trees from

elder, honey locust, Russian olive, and
the evergreens are now ripe. Before
gathering a quantity of seeds, cut a
few of them in two and see that they

berculous poultry. Accordingly, fowl
tuberculosis has been receiving spe-
cial study by Observation-Disclosures

Coincident with the decline of this
disease among cattle and hogs, de-
creasing human death rate from tu-
berculosis is shown by a recent re,
port of the Department of Commerce.
The low death rate of children under

to the aggressive campaign for test

Cornstalks for Horses

The feeding of cornstalks to horses
that are idle during the winter will
probably not cause them definite in
jury although there is very little feed
value to them. If you have consid-
cradle amount of this product on hand
feed one-half as much oat straw as
usual, making up the balance with the
cornstalks. When spring time comes
and you are ready to put your horses
in condition for their seasons work,
the cornstalks and the straw should
both be dropped and a good quality
hay substituted for them.

Feeding Calf With Scours

A sucking calf that has scours
should have the usual amount of milk
it gets reduced to about one-half for
a day or two. 1t will be better to give
the calf an ounce or two of castor Oil
instead Of epson salts. This will re-
move all poison from the system.
When the calf has recovered the
amount of milk allowed should be
gradually increased until the usual
amount that the calf had been getting
before it was sick is reached.

Feed. for Pullets

Feed, rather. for size and plenty of

this season when your pullets are just
coming into lay, increasing gradually
as they become well fieshed, with
rounded breasts. Particularly, If you
expect to breed from these birds, feed
plenty Of scratch feed until the points
of their breast bones are well covered
and then keep them In that condition
and they will lay eggs of good hatch
ability.

Now that there are some scar

is well to be on guard against
the disease. 1t starts with fever
and is especially characterized by
headache. The patient feels sick
and in many cases there is vomit-
ing. The next day one may look
for eruption of the skin, small
vivid red spots. At first you
can expect to find the eruption
on the back, sometimes best OBJ
served by artificial light. The
first cases in any community are
the most important to have qua
rantined so as to prevent spread

IN THE DAILY DIET

Something raw is essential to
our daily diet. Raw fruits and
vegetables are available all sum-
mer, but winter presents a real
problem for the housewife who
lives distance from markets
which handle fresh foods.
Apples, Cabbage, Carrots, and
onions are easily stored most of
the winter if plans are made in
advance. Citrus fruits are usu-
ally available, but may prove too
expensive to use regularly.
However, lemons are cheaper at
this season and the juice of one
added to the jar of canned fruits
or to the stewed dried fruit or
the simple dessert just before
serving will replace the Witamin
