the California Horticultural Commission,
and in case eel worms are found III these
shipments the districts from which the
potatoes came will be quarantined.
This is a drastic order so far as the
districts where the eel worms are found
is concerned but it is much better than
quarantiniug the whole State, which the
Horticultural Commissioner of Califor-
MIA was disposed to do until he was con
vinCed that such an order would work
harm to the potato industry of Nevada
where there was no eel worm.
The ranchers and farmers of this
State are face to face with a condition
which calls for decisive action OH their
part. They must get rid of the homo
tode or eel worm or give up the raising
and marketing of profitable crop and
one for which Nevada has a splendid
reputation The Nevada potato is one OF
the best in any market and the ranchers
should see to it that the good name of
the State and the good name of the Ne
vada potato are maintained.
The university wants to help the farmer
and the rancher, but it can only do it
through the co operation of the potato-
growers. Any attempt to defeat the
order of the Horticultural Commissioner
Of California will result in destroying the
California market for the uninfected po-
tatoes of this State
The university is sending out two of
its men as advisors or instructors to as
certain the condition of the potato crop
on each ranch or in each district. These
men are Miles B Kennedy and Ellis
worth r. Bennett, who have no author
ity, as the university has no authority,
to require the potatogrowers to answer
any questions or to do anything at all
These men seek information only aud
the cooperation of the farmers, which
will be helpful i'll securing market for
the potatoes which are free from the eel
worm, and also to help farmers to take
steps to rid their fields of this pest for
all time.
We bespeak for them a cordial recep-
ton and the co operation of the potato.
growers of this State Remember, no
potatoes can be shipped from this State
until the Horticultural Commissioner of
California receives a certificate from the
President of the University that these
men have examined certain districts and
the potatoes in these districts are thought
to be free from the nemotode or eel
worm
In the course of few weeks bulle-
tin i'll regard to the eel worm, with the
latest information will be prepared by
Professor Peter Frandsen, zoologist, and
Prof. Samuel B. Doten, entomologist of
the University. This will be distributed
freely in all the potato-g growing districts
of this State.
Asking again for your cordial cooper
alton, l remain yours very truly,

PROGRESS ON THE
BALTIMORE GROUND

The Baltimore Mines Co, operating in
the Sunrise District, has been making
much headway in its development for
the past spring and summer, and has
peristently followed up its work to the
present time. One large tunnel on the
property has been driven i'll distance of
100 feet and winze sunk to some depth
on the ore body On the Denver claim
of the group a magnificent body of ore
has been opened up, which is ten to
twelve feet i'll width. This ore is con
sidered high-grade, as it pans gold
freely, and almost any kind of an ASSAY
can be obtained from it, from $40 up to
$1,000.
Another tunnel, about forty ieet to the
north of this tunnel caved in recently
at a point where the ledge was encount-
cred and more good ore found. The
company is now sinking a vertical shaft
about fifty feet away from the cave and
at point where it will cut the ledge on
its dip. This body is expected to fur
nish large body of milling ore. The
work so far done shows that the ore is
all one body and that it is the largest
aud richest ever discovered in any camp.
The company has just installed two
gasoline hoists and has them III opera
ton. One is a small one for prospecting
work and the other large enough to 20
to considerable depth. That the com
pauy does not expect to use gasoline as
a motive power for all time is evidenced
by the construction of branch power
line to the property from the Truckee
River Electric Co. 5 power line which
runs through the Yerington district and
within a few miles OF the Baltimore
ground. The company has recently pur-
chased a ten-stamp mill and the machin-
cry is now on its way to the mine. This
mill will he placed and ready for opera
tion sometime early next spring. The
operations of the Baltimore Company
are beginning TO attract the attention of
other mining men, and as there is
plenty of INDICATED ground in that
neighborhood. and finely mineralized
country, it is more than likely that there
will be considerable stir in that neigh
borhood next spring

The Potato
Eel Worm
Investigated

The following letter from DR.. Stubbs
of the State University will he of inter
est to the potato growers and others Of
the Mason Valley section, in view of all
the trouble that has been stirred up by a
few eel worms in Nevada spuds:
Reno, Nevada, Nov %, 1911.
went to Sacramento Monday, No
veniber p, to meet Mr.. A. J. Cook, the
Horticultural Commissioner of Califor-
MIA, and ascertain his decision upon adj
mitting Nevada potatoes into California.
As you know the Horticultural Commits
sioner of California has full power to
place quarantine against potatoes or any
other agricultural products. For a year
or two past reports have been i'll circula-
ton about the prevalence of the memo
tode or eel worm in Nevada potatoes.
The eel worm, male and female, have
their homes i'll the soil and from the
soil the female goes into the potato, or
alfalfa. or the beet, or the carrot, to lay
its eggs, and in time the eggs are
Matched. The eel worm also infests
greenhouse plants, such as the aster and
carnation. They live upon the starchy
substance in these plants and partially
destroy their substance In the begin
ming it is difficult to detect the eel worm
i'll the potato but after time it is dis
cerned by pimples, tubercules, or warts
upon the sulface of the potato When
the potato is in this stage the ravages Of
the eel worm are easily detected
After a full conference with the Hor-
ticultural Commissioner, he gave the
following decision:
First-rhe districts that raise potatoes
in the State of Nevada, where the eel
worm is found, are hereby quarantined,
and no shipments of potatoes from those
districts will be received.
Second-Upon the statement of the
authorities Of the University of Nevada
to the Horticultural Commissioner OF
California that the University has exam
ined certain districts and found that
there was no evidence of the eel worm
infestations from these districts potatoes
may be purchased and shipped into Cal
ifornia.
Third The Horticultural Commits
siouer decided that all carloads of pota-
toes, either now received or in transit
that are found to be infected with eel
worm to any extent will not be received
and must be returned.
The decision of the Horticultural Com
missioner is cotained in the above three
paragraphs; namely, he has quarantined
every potato district in Nevada where
the eel worm is found to be shipped into
California; but he will, on the certificate
of the university authorities that any po-
tato district is free from the eel worm,
grant permission to the grower of the
potatoes in that district to sell his pota-
toes and ship them into California.
OF course however, all such shipments
will be subject to a rigid inspection by

INVESTIGATING DISEASE
State Veterinarian Richardson Here
Looking Into Hog Trouble in
This District

State Veterinarian, 7. +. Richardson
this week, Mr. Richardson coming TO

fatal to hogs in this vicinity for the past
two months. He estimates that over
1000 hogs have died in this valley in the
pact 90 days. lie pronoupCes tire dts
ease hog cholera, for which there is no
known cure. According to Mr.. Rich
ardson there are three types of this dis
ease. One affects the bowels, one affects
the lungs and the other takes the form
of an external eruption, and is known as
the erysipelas type The two former
bring about death in few hours or
few days, while the latter fingers, but
eventually proves fatal.
Mr. Richardson will be here for some
weeks, possibly, until he has inoculated
all the well hogs, or taught the owners
of the animals how to do this. He says
that as soon as an animal shows signs of
the disease he should he killed and
burned, for thereis no chance of recovery
What causes the disease is a mystery,
but cleanliness and good water for the
animals to drink is the main preventa-
tive 1t is up to the owners OF hogs to
give the matter their StTiCtest
attention unless they want the valley

LENTEN period Will
BEGIN ON WEDNESDAY
IT is A SEASON OF DEVOTION
WITH But LITTLE DOING
IN SOCIETY'S WIlIRL.

Next week will see the beginning Of
Lent, which falls on next Wednesday,
known to the members OF the EpiscO-
pal, Catholic and Lutheran churches
as Ash Wednesday. Members of these
churches observe the following thirty
nine days In religious fasting IT Is
a time of devotion,
During the Leuten season In most
places, all parties and social func-
tions are laid aside and nothing but
the necessary things are done during
the time intervening between the be-
ginning Of Lent and the close Of Eas-
ter Sunday.
How Ash Wednesday, the Lenten
period and Easter Sunday are reck-
oncd seems to be a mystery to most
people. Lent Is always reckoned
from Eater Sunday, but to many per-
ons, this is equally as mysterious.
Easter Sunday is always the first Sun
day after the first full moon after the
spring equinox Of March 2I. If the
fun moon Is on Sunday, Easter Is on
the Sunday following. Easter comes
on April 16 this year. Lent Away
comes forty days before Easter. There
are usually six Sundays intervening,
but they are not counted IN the forty
days This makes Lent always begin
on Ash Wednesday, It is preceded by
Shroye Tuesday which Is the last day
before Lent.

The Farmers Opportunity with Alfalfa

in crop rotations. An obstacle, however,
in the way of It's wide use in such al
formations has been found IN the unique
fact that comparatively few have had
the courage to plow up good stands, and
thus it is permitted to occupy the same
lands indefinitely very commonly for
ten or twelve years, while fields have
been known TO yield continuously for
100 years from one seeding, which sug-
gests It's longevity Besides enrichlng

Alfalfa is comparatively new plant

it has materially increased the output
