Pro oductive Soil

People who remember the story of the
Chicago belle who objected to stepping in
the soil spilled from one of the over
turned urns at the Kansas building at the
worlds fair, because the lady, impressed
by the demonstrated productiveness of
the soil. feared contact with 1t might
cause her feet to resume growing, Will
not be surprised at anything coming from
a Missouri farmer. In trying to give
some idea Of the productiveness of the
land about him, farmer of this state
says that they have to NOV the grass on
the floor every day to find the baby, and
one family near him having twin babies
and only one cradle, the child that had to
sleep on the floor grew twice as fast as
the other, because 1t was near the earth.
And where the soil lies the deepest man
dares not stand on one foot any length
of time lest that leg becomes longer and
bothers him in wallting.-Exchange.

HATCHERY is
BEING BUILT

Work began this morning at Verdi
hatchery being built by the State fish
commission. The old hatchery has
been torn down and a new building
4OX40 is to be built in its place. The
material is all on the ground and
Commissioner Mills was informed by
his deputy, Oidenburg. that work be-
gan today.
The hatchery is to be the most mod
ern hatchery on the coast. Plans in
ciude all the best features of the best
hatcheries on the Coast and both
Mills and Yerington have spent some
time on these plans.
There is huge spring about six
feet higher than the floor of the old
hatchery. a spring the flows almost
100 miners inches OF water at its
mouth. The water is cold winter and
so that the hatchery will have an am
pie water supply of its own. The
property belongs to the state having
been bought last spring. When the
work is completed the state will have
a hatchery that will be sufficient TO
furnish spawn to every creek in the
state large enough to afford home
for trout.
Nevada must depend upon herself
for trout, as methods in California
are good but insufficient for trading
purposes. A "sportsman'' in San
Francisco has just made a demand
that the minnows in the mountain
lakes be eXterminated because the
trout find them so plentiful they do
not care for the arfificial TAFT offered

trout so that they will take bait read

as can be ascertained by the owner.
That was a camera-a 4X5 Eastman
