Diversifcation today is accepted as
sound farm practice. One of the first
to advocate conserving the fertility Of
the soil, rotation of crops, and raising
of more and better livestock was
James ]. Hill, founder of the Great
Northern Railway.
Butt those days these ideas weren't
90 popular. In fact, there was a resolu-
ton introduced in the Minnesota
Legislature condemning Mr.. Hill for
preaching a doctrine that would be
ruinous to the Northwest.
The Great Northern Railway has
never regarded railroading as merely
a matter of building railroads and
running trains.
From the very beginning one of its
most important departments has been
the Agricultural Development Depart
ment.
This Department, during recent
years, has been concerned with such

The Coolidge examiner., 1937-12-09

The preciousness Of the clement
radium is due in large part 70 the
difficulties of extracting it from the
parent ore (uranium) with which 1t
is invariably associated, writes John
A. Maloney in Scientific American.
The wearisome labors of the Curies
were not extraordinary when we
consider that modern chemistry has
made but slight progress in refining
radium since the Curies pointed the
way. Radium does not occur in
great veins like coal or iron, but Is
found with uranium in what the
chemist calls a state of equilibrium.
This means that there is always a
maximum amount of radium in pro-
portion to the amount of uranium in
which it is found. Contrary to popu-
lar belief, radium is found widely
distributed throughout the litho-
sphere, or crust, of the earth, and
there is good reason to believe that
it occurs also abundantly within the
interior of the earth.
Thus far, radium has been found
in the earth associated with urani-
um itself or other ores containing
The Coolidge examiner., 1937-12-09
Extraction of Radium Long and Costly
Process; Found Throughout Earth's Crust

uranium. Among these the most i'm
portant is pitch-blende, which is a
blackish uranium oxide containing
other metals in negligible quanti-
ties as impurities. Pitch-blende de-
posits occur in Cornwall, England;
in Jachymov formerly called st.
JoachimstaaD in Czechoslovakia; in
the Belgian Congo, and in the Great
Bear lake region Of Canada.
Next comes carnotite, which oc-
ours as a binder between the sands
and has been found in Utah and Col
orado. Carnotite bears the chemi-
cal name of potassium uranyl vana-
date and it has played an important
part in the history of radium in the
United States.
Autunite, a calcium uranium phoS-
phate, occurs in Portugal and Aus
tralia, and has also been a source
of radium production, although not
very economical one.
