Mexico Seeks to Revive
IFoItering Mine Industry

MEXICO CITY, July 6 tR.-
Mining. traditional backbone Of
tMexico's economy. Is in the dol
drums and the government has
appointed q special commission
Ito try to revive it.
The committee, headed b.
Marie r. Gomez. former min
lister Of agriculture. b expected
Ito revise the tax laws. Mining
linen say the jerry-built tas
structure is mainly to blame fol
their plight.
Mining taxes provide about 2e
lper cent Of the Mexican govern.
lment's income. Thus any de-
icrease in mineral output worries
1.-THE government. But any new
ltax laws which reduced tax re.
lceipts would also worry it. An
tonic CarMllo Flores, the treas
Jury minister. told the Mexican
Bankers Association convention
recently:
"In contrast to agriculture and
manufacturing, mining produc-
ltion Is dropping. This is a COM
Iplex phenomenon which worries
Jus and which has high priority
flor government attention.
But the overall panorama is
not entirely unfavorable in this
Industry. Some minerals are
bringing a higher price and at
Ithe end of 1854 the general ten
Idency Of prices was flrmer. For
lsign demand. more active in the
1rst months of this year, has
meant higher prices"
4 Nevertheless, the total value
of mining production last year
was only $228 million, compared
Ito $253 million In 1858.
Mexico Is the worlds largest
producer Of silver and silver
lprices this year reached the
highest mark since 1920. Pro-
Iduction figures for both gold
land silver are up sharply this
year. Copper production is about
lthe same, lead is up a little. But
Isinc. which Is one Of the largest
exports. is down from an aver
'Iage Of $4,000 tons per month
last year to 1852 tons this
;Iyear.
i Mining men blame the gov
lernment taxes for the decrease
;Ibut they would not estimate
how much taxes would have to
be reduced to revive the industry.
i Some Of the complaints are
Ithe usual seasonal bleats, which
come out every two years when
the miners are asking for raises

governments thought Of new
ways Of putting . tax on what
was formerly the country's chief
source Of wealth. Since the war,
such farm products as cotton and
coffee have passed minerals as
the leading exports. These
products, being a fairly new
development In Mexico's econ
omy.. have q much simpler tax
scheme.
Mines. In general. pay q gov
ernment tax on their claims, a
tax-20 per cent in the case Of
gold and 40 per cent on silver
ION metal produced. and another
tax on metal exported. Refined
lead pays q total tax Of AS
per cent: zinc concentrates AS
per cent. But even within each
tax, there are complications.
Look at the export tax on
cadmium.
The basic tax Is IS per cent.
Another tax on top Of this is
2 per cent. making ass per cent.
There is a specific tax on ex-
ported. cadmium, different for
each metal, of 5 per cent, plus
the 2 per cent-5.1 per cent
more. Thus the total tax is
30.6 per cent of the price of
the metal-and the Government
fixes the official price in a list
published early each month.
So the miner pays taxes on his
taxes. The tax is collected not
only on refined metals but also
on the metallic content of ores
and concentrates. but it does
make allowances for the cost Of
treating them. And the Gov
Iernment can demand that gold
and copper taxes be paid in
metal, not in money. This is one
source Of the Governments gold
reserves which 1t keeps to back
its paper currency.
The Government can also con-
troll the export Of minerals
through exports permits. AS the
largest silver producer, the Gov
|ernment can thus keep Mexican
silver on the market when prices
|are low. This means that, with
out Mexican supplies, the price
goes UP.
The recent increase in the
price Of silver on the New York
market is credited to the fact
that Mexico has recently made
major silver sales to West Ger
many for coinage. This indi-
Gated silver might be more
scarce and the silver quotations
have gone UP in recent months
as q result.

Vegetables Attacked
BY Underground Bondits

Insects attacking the under
ground root systems of plants may
cause poor quality vegetables or in
the case of potatoes may make
them unfit for sale. However, H.
E. Scott, extension entomologiSt at
State College, says that newer in
secticideS are being used success
fully against these underground
bandits"
Scott says that the three meth
DDS of applying soil insecticides
include: broadcast row treatment,
and seed treatment.
Broadcast treatment consists of
applying an insecticide either spray
or dust to the soil surface and then
working it into the top four to
six inches.
In this state. broadcast treat
ments are recommended for the
control of wireworms in sweet and
Irish potatoes as follows: chlor-
dane. 4-6 pounds per acre; or aid
rim or heptachlor, two or three
pounds of actual chemical.
Row treatment consists of ap-
plying insecticide in a band of
varying widths along the plant
row. either before or at time of
planting. To control white-fringed
beetle in vegetables, the following
row-type treatment is suggested:
chlordane one to two pounds; or

Fix Tree Injuries
From Storms Now

Many a valuable tree injured
from heavy winds or winter ice
storms can be restored to look as
beautiful as ever this summer
providing it is given expert atten-
ton now. This is the time to do
it, prior to the season of heavy
growth.
Broken limbs should be pruned
off in such a manner that the
symmetry of the tree will be pre-
served, or else no symmetry will
be achieved as the tree grows in
the future. says the National Ar
boriSt Association. All cuts should
be painted with a good tree wound
dressing.
Wherever limbs are over 10 or
- feet in height, the services of
an arborist or tree expert is ad-
vised. unless the home owner has
the necessary safety equipment
and experience in pruning and
trimming large trees. 1t can be a
dangerous job for the ineXperi-
enced. The reliable tree expert
takes on his shoulders the whole
responsibility for bringing trees
back to their original vigor and
shaplineSS.
In some states. such as New
Jersey. arboristS or tree experts
are certified by the authorities for
the work. Where states do not
have such certification, the best
way to find a responsible firm is
by local or national reputation. as
we'll as by the fact that all eStab-
lShed and responsible tree expert
firms or arboristS carry insurance
which relieves the home owner
from liability due to injuries that
may occur while their men are
working on the property.
Many valuable but damaged
trees are cut down by ineXperi-
enced home owners or handymen
at greater cost for cutting up the
tree and removing the stump,
than it would cost for hiring a
tree expert to save the tree by
pruning and care. Most trees will
come back quickly after storm
damage. With proper care. in a
year or two one will be surprised
at the recovery. even though the
tree may have looked pretty hope
less Immediately after the storm.
After every winter or after ev-
cry damaging storm. home owners
should obtain the advice of an ar
boriSt on the proper care of valu-
able trees on their properties. A

There are over 5000 Matching

HatcherieS have also met the
demand for performance chicks.
Dearstyne says that with the
fine balance developed by hatch

producers consider the home pro-

equal to the offering from other

A rattle snake warns his intend
ed victim of danger by a loud
rattling of his tail coils. Unfor-
tunately power lines can't voice
their peril But those slender wires
that blend so we'll into the back
ground hold a death warrant for
farm drivers who don't know Or
don't watch the danger signs.
What are the signs? And what
are the hazards? First of all. most
overhead lines are built so that
they will clear the average load.
Telephone and power companies,
however, cannot be expected to
provide clearance for the remark
ably high loads that are some
times moved down our rural roads.
A driver whose load Just touches
the wire is right in the middle of
a ton of dynamite He may not
know it. but his entire load and
the truck itself are charged with
high voltage electricity - which
can't 90 anywhere because the
rubber tires are good mSulatorS.
The minute he opens the door and
steps out. however and any part
of him still has contact with the
truck, the voltage is grounded -
thru his body He's learned his
lesson - but too late
A second hazard involves a rid
eT on top of a high load. The
breeze feels GOOD and the ride is
exciting - and chances are he
isn't watching, nor even aware
that his life is in danger. If he's
lucky enough to escape being kill
ed as the wire jerks him off the
load. YOU may be sure that he'll
have plenty Of time TO think about
what he should have done -
during a lone recovery.
Or consider a Sagging wire.
Many different things can cause
an energized wire to sag danger
ously low. Perhaps a pole has
broken or leaned over. Perhaps the
wire has broken some distance
away. causing unusual slack. Per-
hapS a tree limb has fallen and
pulled the wires down dangerously
low. Such incidents not only Gre
ate the hazard of physical OBJ
structiOn. but a deadly electrical
hazard as we'll. when the low
hanging wires remain energlzed.
What must be done - after the
sagging wire is spotted? The first
move. of course, must be to report
It Immediately to the proper au-
thoritieS. Keep away from 1t your
self and if YOU must leave. place
someone on guard to warn others.
. Some people have the dangerous
idea that if they touch only one
wire at a time they'll be safe. This
isn't true - especially of high
voltage wires.
If a hgh load must be moved,
! Get an accurate measurement OF
the height and then check your
plans with the local electric syS-
TEN and telephone company.
Above all, make certain that no
one rides on top Of the load.
