Smaller Farms.


We believe that no small part of our
farmers are land poor" not in the
sense that the term is often used thdt
they have much land that does not pro-
|duce enough to pay the taxes and in
terest on the value, though some of
them are even that badly off, but many
have much more land than they can
cultivate as it should be, and more than
they can keep up near to its proper pro-
ductive condition. They may use most
of it in some way, and think they get
an income from it, but large share of
those who really make money at farm
ing make it upon but small part of The
farm. A few acres of meadow near
the barns, the orchard and the garden
are profitable. For the rest, If they
sold 1t or rented it to some one who
would put fertilizer and labor on it and
produce as much on one acre as is now
produced on three, it would be- more
profitable to the present owner. and to
the buyer or renter. More small farms,
more intensive farming, and closer look
ing after the best possible res1lts from
small acres are what we need.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

MORE AsYLUMs NEEDED.

Carson Appeal: There are more
asses to the acre in Nevada than any
where else in the world. We raise
about hundred and fifty thousand
tons OF wheat in Nevada and have
half dozen flour mills capable OF
reducing every ton to -four. A
greater part of that wheat, however,
is shipped to California at q cost of
81 ton. 1t is then made into flour
and shipped back at cost of 50 q
ton. Then the Nevada man, who
cannot use anything raised in his
own State, purchases il as Sacrament
to flour at cost of s13 ton, more
than II he had gone to Nevada mill
and got it.
He also overlooks the fact that Ne.
vada took the first premium at the
Chicago Exposition for both wheat
and -four.
b. Il. Leete has the dnest salt de-
posits in the world. II is the near
est chemically pure Of any salt in
the world and was SO pronounced by
the chemists at the Chicago Expo
sition. Before Nevada people will
buy it, however. it has to be shipped
to San Francisco and back, and when
it comes back il has a Liverpool
brand on it. OF course, the extra
freight both ways makes it come
higher but the two trips over the
mountains probably improves the
flavor and so everybody wants it that
way.
What we need is more asylums
for mental diseases in this State.

have forwarded copies of statements

The first and one Of the best OF
these statements comes from q

the acreage, quantity and value Of
each crop. but contains also good
inventory of live etock and a detail
ed statement of tho quantity and
value OF the miscellaneous articles

initiate this woman the agricultural

A Chance for Nevada

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is coming to the Coast about
March 1st and will be in session in
San Francisco some time. Our
people should make an organized
effort to have the commission stop
over in Reno and hold q session
and listen to the complaints of in
discrimination practiced against the
people Of Nevada. Failing in that
they should take steps to have O
hearing in San Francisco and appoint
a committee to go down and present
Nevada's grievance to the commiss-
ion. 1t will not cost much snd may
lead to much good.-Gazette.
