GOLD OUTPUT HUGE
IN SOUTH AFRICA
Production Reaches Total of
Seven Billion Dollars.

Washington.—The role played by
the gold-mining industry in the eco
nomic life of §outh Africa is strik
ingly revealed in a report from Con
sul Hugh S. Miller, Johannesburg,
made public by . the Commerce de
partment ,#.•«» .
Within a few months, it s pointed
out, ' Johannesburg will celebrate
with an entire exposition thg fifti
eth anniversary at its and
the founding Os the gold mining in
dustry on the Rand. At A. recent
meeting of the Transvaal chamber
of mines the retiring president-took
occasion to review the development
of gold-mining in South Africa.
Production of gold in the country,
he pointed out, commenced in Utt
and the following year 19,088 fine
ounces were produced; fine years
Hater, the output had increased un
til it was slightly over a mflfion
ounces; in 1897 it had reached two
-and a half million ounces; in 1904
more than three and one-half mil
lion ounces, and in 1932 11 million
ounces. Since 1932 production has
declined to 10 million ounces an
nually. Records indicate that of all
•fte gold produced in the world since
the Middle ages, since 1888 about
one-quarter has been produced on
the Witwatersrand.
According to the president of the
chamber, the approximate value of
a the gold production of the Transvaal
from the earliest records to date is
about-$7,135,000,000 and considera
bly more than half that amount has
1 been distributed in South Africa.
The city of Johannesburg as a re
sult of the expansion of gold min
ing in the Transvaal has developed
in half a century from a straggling
mining camp to a metropolis of 500,-
■OOO inhabitants, of whom half are
Europeans, according to the report.
.Prehistoric Bones Found
in Ancient Texas Site
Dallas.—Search for the ruins of
:an ancient civilization has begun
hin Rockwall, a tittle town 25 miles
(north of Dallas, which was named
(because of an otd wall buried six
iffeet under ground near the city.
If the theory of R. F. Canup,Rock
: wall business man, is correct, an
, ancient buried city will be un
covered.
Undismayed by reports from a
few geologists that the old wall is
the work of nature, Canup declared
<be would continue his excavations
until he finds the bottom of the wall
—or the city.
Excavation has been, underway
for die past three months and has
resulted in uncovering a structure
to a depth of about eight feet for
a distance of 120 feet.
In the open cut along the wall,
Canup has found a large collection
of fossils, some of which were said
to be bones of prehistoric animals.
“Many students of rock forma
tion have told me that no natural
formation could be as symmetrical
or as consistent in its direction
around the town as this wall,” Can
up said. “Among the geologists
who believe that the wall is man
made is Count de Prorok, who vis
ited Rockwall 10 years ago and de
clared that it is certainly the work
of man.”
“The fact that the wall turns
and makes a square corner leads
me to believe that it is man-made
masonry," he said, “because nature
does not, as a rule, build corners
in this fashion.”

Humorous Story
. t— —■
By WILL ROGERS
A LAWYER always tells his
** client not to give up hope, and
generally promises to save him, no
matter how desperate the poor
guy’s case is.
Somehow, the lawyer is hardly
ever there when his prisoner sets
down in the electric chair. That
makes it awful embarrassing for
the prisoner, because he don’t know
where to turn for encouragement.
Anyhow there was a nice gang
ster that had a pood lawyer. The
lawyer stood in with the judge pret
ty well, and he told His Honor a
hard lack story about the poor
client who was about to be electro
cuted. This here judge was the one
that done the sentencing.
“Judge, I w 11 tell yeu,” says the
lawyer, “this poor guy la a great
athletic fan. He used to play base
ball and run the high hurdles and
he wasn’t so bad at swimming and
total*. It’s all right to bump him
off, but the poor guy wants to see
one mom athletic event or some
game before he dies. Won’t you
give orders to let him see a game,

Fighting Vegetable Pests
_______ 1
THERE are two major classifica
tions of insect pests—chewing
and sucking. Chewing insects, such
as beetles, leave telltale holes in
leaves. Control by dusting or spray
ing plants with arsenicals (poisons
with arsenate of lead as a base)
Or pyrethrum. These remedies are
known as stomach poisons, for
they must be eaten by (he Insects.
Plants commonly attacked include
cucumber, squash, other vine
crops, mustard, tomato and pepper.
Presence of sucking insects, such
as aphis or plant lice, is indicated
by a general lack of vitality in the
plant. Control by dusting or spray
ing, directly on the insects, nicotine
sulphate or pyrethrum. These in
sects do not eat exterior plant tex
ture and must be killed by a con
tact poison. Among plants at
tacked are peas, pepper, cabbage
and related crops.
All seedlings may well be treated
early with light application of an
•arsenical.
j Special treatment should be
| given two pests—cutworm and leaf
| beetle. The former (a chewing in
; sect) is very fond of tender pepper,
: tomato and cabbage plants, and is
controlled by spreading about a
spoonful of "poison bran bait” near
each plant. This should be done
at nightfall. Leaf beetle (also a
chewing insect) is found on to
mato, pepper, turnips and other
plants. It can be repelled by •
Bordeau mixture spray.
Roasenrbar this important
“don’t”: Don’t use arsenicals on
the edible portion of vegetables
within 14 days of the time they
are to he used. Pyrethrum sprays,
however, are equally effective and
_ tony he safely used nt any time.

We want to extend our deepest
appreciation to every one who visited
our home since the untimely death of
our dear son, Joseph Cooper Ward,
