If you don’t recognize Lake Mead by riame, it is the great new arti ficial reservoir in Boulder Canyon, created by the building of the Hoover Dam. The gold has been there always, but nobody could get to it until the water impounded by the dam rose high enough so that boats could reach the previously inac cessible slopes of the steep moun tains bordering the canyon. Now a real “gold rush” has started, since a prospector in a motor- boat discovered a promising vein of gold-bearing rock a year or so ago. The new “strike” is known as the Gold Butte Mining District, 53 miles up Lake Mead from the dam. High grade ore is being shipped by barges towed by motor-boats, "nd is said to yield from $6 to $10 to the ton. There is always something fas cinating about news of a new gold strike. This one is especially in teresting because it initiates a new way of making gold accessible. It is novel as the methods now used in the island of New Guiana, where airplanes are used to bring the gold down from the inaccessi ble mountain peaks, as well as to take machinery and miners up to the mines. The earth’s store of gold is, ap parently, very far from being ex hausted. Not enough has been mined so far to satisfy the monetary demands of the world, which now almost universally re gards gold as the only real money for the exchange of commodities between nations. The United States Treasury holds more than half of all the world’s stock of monetary gold. If the other nations were as well supplied there would be better assurance of peace and prosperity for everyone.

C. yield on 284.2 acres of wheat on which records were kept by grow ers cooperating with the Exten sion Service in 1937 was 19.4 bushels per acre, says M. C. Rochester, farm management specialist. This yield is more than double the state average of 9.5 bushels per acre. In 1937, 54 enterprise records in 16 counties were completed. These records were analyzed in order to determine the factors affecting the yield 'and cost of production. “The average cost per bushel”, Mr. Rochester says, “amounted to 68.1 cents per bushel. To secure this better yield and ecqnomical cost of production, the records in dicate, it is desirable to have large fields, higher-than-average humus in the soil, early planting dates (wheat planted in November gave the highest yield per acre), seed treatment with ceresan, wheat following the more highly fertil ized crops such as corn or corn and legumes, seeding with the drill, the use of 1.1 to 1.5 bushels of seed per acre, and freedom of the crop from diseases and insects “In order for wheat growing to hold its place in the farm organ ization of today and play its proper part in a living-at-home program, these economical meth ods of production should be fol lowed”. concludes the farm man agement specialist.
