Longer Life For
Fence Posts

Fence posts are an important
use for wood on the farm, but one
does not realize that by far the
greatest use of all wood in contact
with the ground is for this puf'
pose, says the U. S. Forest Pro
ducts Laboratory, Madison, Wis
consin.
Cheap and effective preservat!ve
treatments now make it possible
for the farmer to use kinds OF
wood for posts that were formerly
regarded as worthless, the Forest
Products Laboratory points out.
One of the simple treatment is
the tire-tube method. In this treat
ment a section of a discarded auto
tire tube is stretched over the butt
and on the post that has been
placed with the butt end higher
than the other end. The tube is
then filled with a solution of zinc
chloride and this soaks through
the sapwood. This chemical will
gave a fence post that will last

FLORENCE, Ariz.-Intensive de-

many smar mines near Florence

Newton Wolcott. field engineer OF

considerable amount of outside

ARIZONA IN
WASHINGTON
BY Bob Merkley

Dear Joe:
Do you still have that old min
ing claim? | know you have, or
another one just like it, so | am
going to tell you about something.
1t is known around Capitol Hill as
II. r. S206. but handle like that
is no good for ordinary converse
ton. Most bills of any Importance
take the names of their sponsors.
This one was introduced by Ari-
zona's Congressman Murdoch, so
let's call it the Murdook Bill.
This bill proposes to authorize
the RFC to make loans up to $1,000
to operators of small mines. There
is no reason to sharpen your pick
yet, Joe. because. the bill has to
go through four processes before
ii becomes a law.
First it must be dug out of the
Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. and that is like digging a
six-inch vein out OF blue granite.
The bill then goes to the House
where it will receive more punish
ment than a nugget in a ball mill.
II ther is anything left after 433
Representatives get through pan
ming samples, it will go to the
Senate The sme,ters of Bisbee.
Jerome and Miami would seem like
tiny campfires compared to the
heat that can be turned on in the
Senatorial chamber. From what |
hear, though, Senator Ashurst is
likely to keep an eye on them
when they weigh in the con-
centrates.
Well, Joe. if the Murdock Bill
gets through the Senate, ii has
only to be signed by the President
and it becomes a law. Then, if
everything goes right, you get
Uncle Sam to grubstake you, and
ii won't take long to find out
whether there is anything in that
old claim. If blow in one of these
days. you can be sure the bill has
passed. | happen to know the
whereabouts of a mighty promis-
ing streak of galena myself.
In spite of all the difficulties
awaiting the bill, 1t still has a
fair chance of getting through.
The Arizona Small Mine Operators
Association has compiled figures
hich show why not only the Ari-
zona delegation but many other
members of Congress should be
interested. The bill proposes as
sistance to operators of small
mines. regardless of whether they
are mining gold. silver, copper,
sulphur, or just plain salt. Thus
it appears there is hardly a state
In the nation which could not be
benefited.
Mr.. Murdock tells me he has
been promised consideration of his
bill by the Committee in the near
future. AS soon as it comes out,
III give you more of the details.
I'll explain where the money is
coming from and who will get it.
But IL the bill never comes out,
Joe. you will know the Wall Street
Congressman are too busy fighting
over the god and silver the little
miners have already dug out.
Yours,
BOB MERKLEY.

Records to
Be Cheaper

Announcement of interest to
record collectors comes from the
Columbia Recording company. 1t
concerns substantial price re-
duction on the entire Columbia
catalog of masterworks. This
places the works of the masters
within the reach of countless
thousands of music lovers to whom
they have been almost prohibitive.
Further information concerns
the contracting OF new artists to
the Columbia lists which already
include many of the worlds finest
vocalists and Observation-Disclosures.
OF the sets included in this price
reduction is the perfectly executed
Scheherazade Suite. as interpreted
by the Cleveland Symphony with
Artur Rodzinski as director. An
other rare masterwork set is the
Gieseking performance of Bee
thovens Fourth Piano Concerto
which was just made.
Victor continues to issue each
month additions to the growing
list of Black Label Classics.
Notable is the London Philhar-
monte orchestra recording Of the
Lyric Suite of Grieg under the
direction OF Sir Landon Ronald.
Among the Red Seal sets worth
while is the Sanroma- Boston Pops
playing of the Gershwin Piano
Concerto. Sanroma has given
more public performances of Ger
shwin's works than any other
pianist in the world, and Fielder
has probably conducted his Boston
Pops orchestra through more per-
formanees of the piano-orchestrs
works of Gershwin than any other
conductor in the profession.

rhyme Mary Had Little Lamb.
He takes this innocent little tune
