The Projects Water Supply Very
Low

The Carson river is lower at this
time than during any period last sum
mer and practically the entire amount
of irrigation water now being used Is
brought from Lake Tahoe and is drawn
upon only through the good graces Of
the power companies owning the
riparian rights of Lake Tahoe and its
outlet. Too much caution cannot be
used by the irrigators of the valley in
handling their respective water supplies
for we are told automatically that
while a real water shortage of damaging
extent is not imminent, the supply is
so low that the utmost care must be
taken to properly safeguard the interests
OF the water users of the project.
Should the supply of water decrease
materially over what 1t is at the pres
ent time the old crops of alfalfa will
be sighted in favor of the new by the
government authorities for it is fig
ured that alfalfa well set is in
no danger of dying out while
the newly set alfalfa must
have water or die. This condition is
due to the fact that underlying the sur
fare of this valley at depth of ten to
fifteen feet is percolating body of
pure water to which the alfalfa roots
penetrate within couple of years af-
ter seeding.
The owners of old Carson river water
rights who did not sign up with the
government under the new arrange
ment of things, are already without
water, the supply having been cut off
during the last few days. This action
was taken because of the drying up of
the Carson river, in which they still
have riparian rights recognized by the
government.

THE ARREST OF AN ABSCONOER
Frank Hitchcock, an Habitual
Deadbeat, Falls Through
Thin Ice Into Jail.

Frank Hitchcock, a man of doubtful
past, who blew into Fallon last spring,
accompanied by his wife and two
children, one an infant in arms, skipped
out under cover of darkness Friday
night and in response to kilograms
from this place, was apprehended or
the following day at Sparks while er
route to Los Angeles. Sheriff Wight
man returned Sunday with Hitchcock,
who now stands formally charged with
two penal offenses. One has to do with
two new automobile tires and three
new inner tubes, said to have beer
purloined from George H. Clark's auto,
which was standing on the desert at 8
point near Leetville. These articles
are worth around $500, and were taken
by Hitchcock as he drove by Friday
night. Arriving at Hazen, Hitchcock
consigned the tires to Frank Webb, ar
assumed name, and started them to
Los Angeles by Wells-Fargo Express.
The stolen articles were intercepted at
Sacramento and are now in the dis
trict attorneys Office to be used as evil
dence.
Hitchcock other offense concerns the
embezzlement of $140, 800 collected
auto fares, claimed by Frank Malone,
chauffeur for Frank Wildes, of Carson,
and $50 entrusted to him to buy a new
tire in this place for Malone, who was
stranded on the desert near Sand
Springs when he vested in Hitchcock
the trust.
Hitchcock seems to be an unfortunate
individual who has assumed the duties
of head of a family, without being
properly equipped for the task. By
his dead beat methods during his Falloh
residence, he gained most unenviable
reputation and his present predicament
seems to be the inevitable sequel to
his local career. His wife and children
are in Sparks awaiting the outcome of
the affair, which promises to land
Hitchcock in the states prison. When
apprehended Hitchcock turned $25 over
to his family and as far as known this
is the sum total of their resources.
When searched by Sheriff Wightman
Hitchcock still had $50 in money and
two tickets, reading ''Hazen to Los
Angeles.
Hitchcock had his arraignment Mon
day and asked for a postponement to
yesterday for his hearing, and Judge
Jones granted the request. Hitchcock
appeared in the Justices court again
yesterday, when the case of embezzle-
ment against him was again postponed
until Friday. The grand larceny
charge, involving the alleged theft of
the automobile tires is in progress as
we go to press.

THE WnnnMHN PICNIC.

This week considerable space is
given to defense of the Herman
vile Woodmen and pavilion trus-
tees relative to the admission fee
charged to the political speaking
on the 4th. The Reveille had
made no criticism, merely stating
what others had said. However,
the paper did state that this was
the first time an admission had
been charged to "big" gathering.
If we were mistaken in this, we
accept the correction.
Since it has been thoroughly es-
tablished that the Woodmen were
paying for the pavilion and
grounds, there can certainly be no
just criticism of them; they had a
perfect right to charge. And at
the same time the trustees are to
be commended for their effort to
pay off the debt and keep the
building and grounds in proper
condition. However, it might be
suggested that, in order to prevent
future criticism. it might be we'll
to rent the ground privileges with
out including the building, SO that
no admission fee could hereafter
be charged.

Land, Stock and Crops.

Land, Stock and Crops
One of the foremost agriculture
lists of Adams county writes on the
agricultural evolution now taking
place, thus: "This county will
make more cotton TO THE ACRE
three years from now, than they
made before the weevil came, but
we will never have so many acres
in cotton. The good Lord seems
to have forced us to do what we
should have been doing all the
time.
81 made last year on Fair Oaks
II bales of cotton on 400 acres. l
will make this year 20 bales on
100 acres. Believe l am safe for
that much and may make more.
You see that is Il crop, as our
lands do not average over one.half
bale to the acre without weevil.
Wish you could come down and
see the difference in my crop this
year from what you saw last year,
OF course | am hurt yet, but | am
getting better and expect to con-
tinue to do so each year. My corn
at 80 cents a bushel will more than
pay all my crop expenses this year,
then l have some cattle and hogs,
enough to make all my meat for
my family. So l have sized up the
situation this way: That it is up
to me to raise enough meat and
corn to feed my family, my tenants
and my mules, and l can raise a
few bales of cotton with each ten
ant. l will never plant over five
acres to the mule and l believe the
five acres can be made to produce
five bales of cotton, not next year
nor the year after, but it will be
done. The weevil may always be
with US, and I hope he will in a
small degree, just to keep us from
going back to all cotton.
"It is questionable in my mind
if it is a good thing to burn your
stalks in the fall. Tell you why l
say this: Take the history of the
weevil in his eastward march from
Brownsville, Texas, for the last IS
years. He reaches the crisis about
the third year, and while he con-
tinues to stay with you he begins
to get less disastrous after the third
year. So, unquestionably there is
a parasite that follows about four
years behind him, and when you
burn the stalk you also destroy the
parasite. | burned all my stalks
last November / had more weev.
lis to contend with this year than
others had who did not burn their
stalks. On my 100 acres of cotton
I killed about 20, 900 weevils this
year, SO you see | have done more
work than my neigbbors to make
my cotton good as theirs. I may
have little better than the average.
Now in Concordia and Tensas par.
ishes, where they had the weevil
one year before US, they will make
two-thirds crop. See. its getting
better"
This practical farmer makes a
mistake when he states that burn
ing the stalks destroys the para
sites. The parasites 60 into hi
bernation in September and only
travel at the rate of Ten miles a
year, whereas the weevil travels so
70 SO miles year. Therefore,
burning the stalksis the thing be-
fore frost. For that reason the
parasites never accompany the
weevil in their migration and first
invasion Of new territory. The
