BIG MONEY IN HEMP.
Fifty Dollars Per Acre Profit In the
Philippines.

Washington, D. C.-AccOrding to
careful estimate made by the direc-
ton of the bureau of insular affairs an
annual profit of at least $50 an acre can
reasonably be expected from lands in
the Philippine islands that are given
UP to growing of hemp. Hemp may
be raised in all parts Of the archipel-
ago, but its culture is more successful
and profitable on the eastern and
southern slopes, owing to the heavy
precipitation, cOpious rains being es-
sential to the health of the trees.
But small expenditure is neces-
sary in laying out hemp field. as the
plants propagate from shoots which
can be obtained for a nominal sum.
There is no necessity for replanting in
a long time, as new shoots form when
the original plant is cut, thereby in
surfing a continuous crop. In certain
sections of the archipelago the cost
of original planting is as low as SIS
per 1000 plants. Fortunately, there
are no diseases on insects that prey
upon hemp plants, the only dangers
being from storms, occasional drOuths
and weeds.
Area of Hemp Fields.
1t is estimated that about one
twentieth of the eastern and south
ern portion of the islands is utilized
for hemp growing, AM fve-eighths OF
of the remainder now covered with
forests. is suitable for the cultivation
of hemp.
The quantity Of hemp raised to the
acre varies with conditions, ranging
from 275 pounds to as high as 1000
pounds, under the most favorable con-
ditions.
At present all Philippine hemp is
shipped in its raw state, there being
but one small rope factory in Luzon.
The total expectations of hemp
from Manila during the past calendar
year amounted to S8,492 tons, valued
| at s1446,492: from other island ports,
s4,S24,11 worth of hemp, additional,
| was exported.

Governor Favora Vaccination.

Governor Sparkle when interviewed by
the Reno Journal regarding the cattle
disease on the Truckee Meadows and the
best method OF handling the same. told
the reporter that he favored vaccination
to prevent the spread Of the disease:
The Governor said:
Il nave used Pasteur vaccine for
several years in my thoroughbred
herds and have lost but one animal
this season. That was a range COW that
had not been vaccinated. | make this
statement thinking that it might induce
people to try this experiment.
Il will lend to anyone who wishes TO
try it the instruments necessary for
the operation. Personally l intend to
go through my herd at once. Ten days
later l will yaccinate again.
Changing pasture seems to nave II
beneficial effect and stops the ravages
OF the disease"
The Governor called attention to the
law passed last winter compelling the
burning Of the carcasses OF animals sus-
pected Of having died FROM anthrax and
burying them six feet under ground.

be anthrax, the law should ne complied

PATENTED KAILEn,n L.,SuS.

During the present year the railroad
company has lone u lively bus'rc4 : III
patenting its lands in this State. In
Eureka county. the INDEPENDENT Is in
formed that last year the comp u WIS
asse ssed on approximately, 100000 ucres
Of IN patented land and li,VOu acres of

acres OF uppatented lani and 10000
acres OF patented land These figures
show that the company has been veIy
active i'll Eureka county in pr, curing
patents on their lands. As the railroad
company never does anything for mere

slders it, ! rriis more valuable when pat
entei. This is also shown 10y the valua-
ton placed upon the lands 10y the COM
pany for the purposes Of taxation. Last
yea the uupntrnted lands in Eureka
county were Va ued at , cents an acre
by the railroad company ami the pat

gives only II difference II 40 cents an

Now, if the patented lands of the rail.

for taxable purposes last year, Why are
they not worth as much this

may be that the lands patcI ted this year
