ALFALFA PEST IN SMITH VALLEY
Yellow Butterflies Deposit Eggs And
Worms Appear in a Few Days

The Gardnerville Record. Courier says
that according to reports from different
parts Of the valley a worm has attacked
several fields and injured the first crop
to considerable extent. The pest is the
same that has made its appearance in
the valley at different periods since the
beginning of alfalfa production, and
while the farmers do not feel any
serious alarm over the situation, they
are experimenting with different
methods OF exterminating the pest.
The most effective method thus far
tried is to keep the water off the field,
after the crop has been removed, for
as long a time as possible. The hot sun
on the short stubble cookslthe worms.
since they thrive only where the alfalfa
furnishes shade and dampness.
1t is first noticed that hordes of small
yellow butterflies hover close TO the
growing alfalfa. They deposit their
eggs on the plant and within few
days the worm is hatched.
Two years ago the pest appeared dur
ing the second crop, but it has been
some time since the first crop has been
subject to loss by the worms.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Pardon Boards Action Criticized

Pardon Boards Action Criticized
Many State papers are severely criti-
Ching the County Commissioners Of
Washoe County because they refuse to
stand the expense of bringing Attorney
schnitzer and some woman back to the
State to be tried on charges OF perjury
under indictments recently found by the
gaud jury. The Review would like to
ask, at this time, what encouragement
there is for Washoe, or any other
county, to spend the public funds for
bringing criminals to Justice? With a
Boards OF Pardons that turns thieves
and murderers loose upon the com
monwealth after they have served bat
a mere fraction of the sentences i'm.
posed upon them. the pretended en-
forcement of law becomes farce and
the penalty OF q penitentiary sentence
an idle Jest. Criminals who have com.
mitted the most dastardly ontrages
against society are dealt with as might
be some school boy who merely tres
passed against the rules of decornm.
Until the present habit OF turning
criminals loose before they have barely
commenced TO serve the sentences i'm.
posed npon them is discontinued. we
can not blame Washoe and all other
counties If :acy utilizs their public
funds for purposes that will bring more
satisfactory results. II the present
system Of furnishing criminals is wrong
the statutes ought to be rectified; bui
no Board of Pardons should be per.
mitted to promiscuously thwart the will
Of judges'and juries who have rendered
what they believe to be honest verdicts
and sentences under the law as 1t is
given them Clark County Review.

THE ELY-GOLDFIELD RAILROAD
Railroad Promoters Taking Options on
Properties Along Proposed Route

Nf1eSe aNthtG
Ely Record: The fact that +. M.
(Borax) Smith and associates are be-
coming largely interested in various
mining fields along the proposed Ely
Goidheld railroad, leads to the belief
that the road will eventually be built.
Recently Mr.. Smith and associates
have become largely interested at both
Goidheld and Tonopah, aud at each
place they have pat large forces of men
to work in their newly acquired pos
sessions. They are also working men
at Tybo and Hot Greek, and it is known
that they are negotiating for interests
In the Ely district, all of which lends
to the belief that they expect to
eventually build the connecting link
between Ely and Goldfeld. In this
connection it is stated that in connec.
tion with Senator Clark they are &C.
quiring holdings in the Deep Greek
country, west of Salt Lake City. 1t
has been stated that Senator Clark will
build branch line from the San Pedro
from Tintic to Ely. while Mr.. Smith
will extend the Tonopah aud Tidewater
from Tonopah to Ely, thus making a
straight run from Salt Lake to Los
Angeles via Ely, Tonopah aud Gold
field. IL is evident from the options
taken on mining properties along the
line of the proposed road that there is
something in the wind"

Manhattan Mines Again Producing

The camp of Manhattan is again on
the map. 1t now has nearly dozen
mines and leases in operation ana .
dividend has just been declared by the
Directors of the Big Four Mining Com
pany as result of the royalties tha'
have been daid in by the leasing COM
panies. This is the second dividend
within a few months aud amounts TO
two cents share. or $4,000. The dis
bursement will be made on August ~.
Manhattan was very promising camp
for the year preceding the San fran
cisco earthquake. but as nearly all the
properties were controlled by bay city
capitalists, the district has been under
slow bell ever since. There are no"
ample evidences of an impending re-
yiyal.

STOCKINGS TO MATCH GOWNS
erings Comparatively Simple
and Easy Affair.

The girl who affects individuality in
dress will have several pairs of en-
broidered stockings to match her dain-
ty gowns
These are quite expensive when
bought and are not difficult to do at
home; the only requisites are knowl-
edge of the satin stitch, short embref-
derry needles and enough flo silk to
work the design
Select a good grade of silk stock
ings, black or eolors, to match your
gowns Dainty designs can be bought
that are easily transferred to the
stockings; they come in perforated
patterns and are very inexpensive. The
most convenient way to work is over
darning egg. Use one thread of. silk
if the stocking be light weight, but if
heavy double thread is used Cut
the skein of silk twice, as a longer
thread is likely to knot and cannot be
easily straighten out on q stocking.
The smartest stockings are embroi-
dered in self-tones-black upon black,
white upon white, ETC.
Flowers are still popular; and if the
color contrast is not too startling they
are dainty. The flowers should be very
small and well scattered over the front
of the stocking ANY small conven-
tional design is pretty, and clocks. too,
can be worked as an added charm to
the stocking.

WORKING TO ELIMINATE THE
RETAILER.

The fortieth annual convention of
the Pennsylvania State Grange, held
recently, considered the question
whether the farmers of Pennsylvania
shall continue to receive only 81 cents
for each dollar paid by the household
er for products of the farm, and the
members Of the convention insisted
thar something should be done to
bring the producer and consumer near
er together.
The plan most strongly approved
proposes that the State Grange form a
corporation and the local corporation
be formed by local oranges for the
purpose of marketing farm products
and of purchasing farm supplies by a
system of cooperation; the state cor
poration to act as the agent of the
local corporations.
1t was proposed also that shares IN
the parent corporation be issued to To-
cal oranges in such small denomina,
tons as to be within easy reach of the
farmers, and that the paid-in capital
be only sufficient to met the actual ex-
penditures. The grangers, it appears
count on having the good will and as
sistance of the labor unions in carry
ing out their plan.
1t is expected that by the adoption Of
the proposed plan the farmers woulC
receive better prices for their produces
and consumers would pay less, by
reason of the elimination of at least

A GOOD BUSINESS YEAR SEEMS
AHEAD,

The prospects are favorable for a
good business year beginning January
I, 1912 The United States is physical
ly and financially sound. Its credit is
better than that of any other govern
ment, as noted by President Taft in
his last message. 1t is able to finance
own undertakings, without borrowing
from abroad, and with ordinary prud-
ence on the part of Congress taxation
in the way of tariffs may be reduced
without causing deficit. Tosbe sure,
the Democrats of the House have not
made a good beginning by passing the
big pension bill and preparing for pub
| lie buildings and river improvement
bills. but these bills have not yet be-
come laws and are not likely to be
approved by the Senate and the Presi-
dent without substantial pruning at
least.
The tariff agitation and the presi-
Dental election will have some deter
rent effect upon business, of course,
but there is reason to believe that the
first mentioned will not upset condi-
.tions seriously, since business men
are bearing in mind the fact that the
two houses of Congress are divided on
the tariff question, with fair chance
that nothing whatever will be done.
The need of revenue will prevent
wholesale slashing of rates, to say
nothing of the opposition that would
develop in the business and labor
world against bill that would open
the United States market to unlimited
foreign competition.
The steel corporation and independ-
ent steel companies have fairly large
orders for the winter and spring, and
other lines of production indicate that
the people are going ahead In the null
tiplied avenues Of production and con-
sumption. Returns from the crops are
large, thereby compromising for re-
duced size of crops, and enabling
formers to begin the new season with
ample equipment. The year 1911 was
hard one for the farmer. A normal
season in 1912 will mark the biggest
yield of farm products in the history
of the country.

MONODIET AND cONSTIPA-
TON.

Or. Henry o. Beeson says that
constipation is the most prev
aIent ailment of civilized man,
and that 1t Is a constitutional
condition that affects all gland
ular activity detrimentaiIy. He
says that the term should be
used In broader sense to in
clude defective elimination,
that, in fact, It is an indication
of defective nutrition In broad
sense. Much original investIga-
ton has led him to the conclu-
sion that this fundamental tTou.
bic supporting auto-intoxication
and therefore disease in aener-
al, Is due to the mixing of
foods, unbalancing the ration
and preventing the nutritive
powers from adaptation to arg
particular dietary. His practical
conclusion is, that foods that are
digestively incompatible should
not be eaten at the same meal
and that as far as mental atti-
tude will permit, foods should
not be mixed. "A meal should
be all of a class" he says.
These conclusions he explains
In "Physiologic Therapeutics"
to be contrary to the establish
ed doctrine, but he supports his
position by sound argument.
Readers of the Diet Hints will
note that this corresponds pre-
cisely with the theory of the

Hints during the past two years.
