MAY ESTABLISH
AGRICULTURAL
HIGH SCHOOL

C. NJ. Henningsen this week re-
ceived a communication from Prof.
True of the Nevada University
touching on the possibilities of es-
tablishing Agricultural High
School in Carson Valley in the
event of the passage OF certain
measure which is now pending be-
fore Congress, calling for the es-
tablishment of such institutions by
the federal government. Prof.
True urges everyone who is in
terested in the advancement of the
agricultural interests Of Nevada,
to correspond with the Senators
and congressman representing this
State at Washington requesting
them to support the measure.
During last winter Congressman
Davis of Minnesota introduced the
measure which calls for the con-
struction of said Agricultural
schools in different states i'll the
union, the appropriation to be
based upon a ten percent capata
of the population OF state or tor
ritory, respectively, as shown by
the last preceding national or
state census, as shall be apportlon-
ed by the secretary of agriculture
and estimated for in the annual
est mates submitted to congress for
the department of agriculture.
President Roosevelt has recently
signified his approval of Congress
uIan Davis's plans for national
encouragement of agricultural
schools in the several States, thus
indirectly taking issue with Gov
ernor Johnson and Congressman
Twaney, the latter of whom DIS
approves of Mr.. Davls's measure on
the ground that it is not the busi-
ness of congress to maintain agrl-
cultural colleges. Having the
Presidents approval, the ulh-
mate passage of the measure is not
unlikely. In view OF what is done
by the government to advance ed
ucation in the arts of war and to
encourage manufacturing and by
the States for education in the pro-
fessions, Mr.. Ddvis's contention
that the greatest interest of the
nation should be no longer me-
elected is deserving OF very serious
nsideration.

PLANT IS A
PERFECT SUCCESS

The dynamo at the Fay ranch
was placed in position last week
by Grant Merrill and Saturday
night 80 or more incandescent
lights glared forth their brilliancy
for the first time. The little plant
is giving complete satisfaction to
the owners. The cost of maintain
ance is comparatively nothing and
the machinery need little if any
attention more than starting and
stopping.
Different farmers of the west side
have viewed the lighting plant in
operation and are very enthusiastic
over the advantages OF such a sys-
tam and different ones contemplate
installing similar plants, among
them being +. Dressler, II. w
Bassman and Fred Sarman. f.
Fruns and IL. Neddenriep are al
so figuring on such plant at the
ranch of the former TO generate
power Ito operate a milking ma
chine as we'll as for lighting pur-
poses.
1t is only question of time
when the majority of farmers of
the west side will take advantage
of the natural opportunities offered
by the mountain streams, to fur
nish power TO operate small cleo
tric plants.
We are informed that a plant
capable of furnishing one hundred
l6 c. p. incandescent lights, in
Guiding wire and fixtures, costs
less than $250.00. This OF cource
does not include the necessary pipe
line and water wheel.

neglected.
The same principle has long been
followed in the best orcha and
vineyards of California, says the
Sacramento Bee. Cultivation does
not "draw the moisture TO the sur
face" as commonly supposed, but
greatly lessons evaporation by
breaking up the millions of cap
Hilary tubes through which mois-
ture escapes into the air where the
surface soil is left hard or encrust-
ed. Cultivation acts as mulch
in this respect.
