RESIDENCE BILL
WAS signed BY
The governor
JUST HAVE TO STAY IN STATE
SIX MONTHS AND SECURE
DIVORCE DECREE.

CARSON CITY, March "a
Basing his action on the score of
advancing uniformity in the practice
in divorce courts of Nevada, Govern
or eddie yesterday signed the time
lock" divorce act, passed by the
last legislature.
The act provides as the sole re-
quite for jurisdiction that the plain
tiff shall have been for six months
within the county in which the ac
ton is brought, with the provision
that in emergency cases absence
from the county may be permitted.
This act of the Legislature dis
poses of the power of courts to in
quire into the element of intent
or good faith when the question of
residence is before the court. 1t
has the effect of substituting an
entirely different theory of the law
for use in the courts, from that
adopted by Judge Orr of the second
district, and many other judges of
this state. 1t defines what has 9TH
erwise been subject for the con-
struction of the courts and it leaves
nothing for the courts to construe.
The effect of the law will doubt
less be to put at rest many of the
fears of divorce seekers who were
thrown in panic by the decision
of Judge Orr in the Ford case
recently. They may now confident
they can prove six months pres
ence in the district the court can
not refuse to pass upon their status
or afford them whatever relief as
may seem Just and equitable to the
same extent as though they were
bona fide citizens, residents for a
long term of years or having no in
tenticn to remove from the state in
the future
1t is anticipated the signing of the
law will result in a greater influx
of seekers for matrimonial relief
| than before. What the effect of the
new, practice on the attitude OF
sister states will be is purely con-
jectural In some states DEGREES

DRY FARMING BY NO
MEANS A JOKE

In an interview in Los Angeles
Charles S Burton of Salt Lake City,
cashier of the State Bank of Utah,
who is visiting in the Angel City,
said: This dry-farming proposition
sounds like a joke to many farm
ers in the east, and to many in
the west, who have come to believe
that. irrigation is the first great es-
sential to successful farming in our
part of the country 1t is no joke
with us in Utah, though, for it has
been demonstrated beyond a doubt
that any land that will produce a
good growth of sagebrush will pro-
duce big crop of the finest wheat
whenever proper methods of cultiva-
ton and conservation of moisture
are practiced
1T is simply the application of
common sense in the way of con-
serving the moisture of the season
instead of allowing it to run off or
evaporate. This system, with deep
blowing and proper mulching of the
soil, is transforming deserts into
wheat fields at a rate that will sur
prise the world in the next five
years.

fancy little halters with silver bells

After these parades there was the
usual rush of the wise ones to the

GARDEN TROUBLES

This is the season when gardens grow. Gentle
reader have you garden? No? Oh, you live
In a city fiat where there wouldn't be room to
stand garden up edgeways? Well move out
Of it right now and go where you can have a
garden. If you can't have one any other way,
make one Everybody makes garden in the
spring. That is why there Is such demand in
the spring for medicine that will correct bad
blood. Nobody planted bad blood in his
garden, but before the novice is done with it
he will discover that bad blood Is about the most
successful crop he can raise If nature attended
to her business instead of hanging around wait
ing for the man to do most everything himself,
gardening would be more attractive and popular.
But nature simply will not do lick until per-
gets the ground ready and lays it off in plats
and drills and rows and beds and things and
buys the seeds and plants them.
After all that has been accomplished at great
labor and expense nature takes hold and shoves
the sprouts up out Of the soil; but no more, for
when the plants have got start once they will
grow themselves. But they won't take care OF
themselves and nature doesn't, so the man is
compelled to look after them. He has to look
after them all the time, too, because If he isn't
there to work just hard from then to the
finish, he did from the beginning to then,
the kind of garden he will have will cause his
wife and children to giggle at him and prompt
his neighbors to give him the horse ha~ha Be-
sides, there are the weeds and the bugs and the
rain and the drought and the chickens and the
dogs and the cats and the pigs and the boil
weevil and the pip and the scale and the codling
moth, and like not somebody leaves the gate
open and the COWS get in and Well, by thun-
der! It's no wonder all our troubles get their
start in garden.-William J. Hampton, in Judge.

will. on the other hand. enable him to water
his gardens when rain famine comes. He
will have more less pretentious green
houses that will enable him to raise early
vegetables and to give his garden stuff an
early start under glass. And he may even
have facilities for raising some products in
shade or partial shade And so there might
be continued almost indefinitely the enumera
ton Of the innovations that have bettered
modern trucking conditions all the way up to
the facilities on those large truck farms
where we find miniature or narrow gauge
railways traversing the trucking area and af-
fordng the means of transferring the vege-
tables berries, etc, In one handling from the
pickers to the boats or railroad cars that are
to convey them to market
A notable characteristic of modern methods
OF trucking is the extent to which specializa-
ton is being practiced. We still have, Of
course farms by the thousand where every
thing from onions to pumpkins are raised, but
We also find, to an increasing extent, progress
s1ve men who are devoting their whole invest
ment and energy to one product and endeayor-
ing to secure that extra quality which special
ization produces and which always means
higher prices when the ultimate consumers
learn of it's presence. This explains the 'let-
tuce farms" where nothing but lettuce Is cul
tivated and the celery farms" in Michigan
and elsewhere that concentrate on this capri
cfous product and the watermelon patches
OF the southland so on through long list.
AS sequel to this era Of specialization has
come the practice of many truckers to dispose
OF their products direct to the consumers. OF
course this means added profits, for not only
does it cut out the middeman's margin but in
many instances the trucker finds discriminate
ing city folks willing to pay him more than
the prevailing retail price in order to obtain
products OF exceptional quality and which they
can depend upon being fresh. Some truckers

disappointed when dame nature does not ar
range things to their liking.
One explanation, too of the emphatic COM
plants that are heard with reference to truck
ing conditions in an unfavorable year is found
in the number of newcomers In the feld-men
and women who prior to their present venture
had never had experience In farming OF any
kind. The tales told in recent years of the
profits and delights of trucking the ease with
which the products can be disposed Of, and the
comparatively small outlay required for five
or ten-acre intensive farm have combined
to lure into the field many people who, woe
to them had no fund Of experience to draw
upon. Particularly has this been the
near our large cities where many small truck
farms have been started by city folks, either
as the side line Of some city occupation or
with view to obtaining an anchorage that
would later permit migration to the country.
AS in poultry raising and other supposedly
number of more or less bitter Establishments
of late years in tn field of trucking, but, by
and large, the industry has developed ire
mendously. 1t has come to be appreciated by
many of the uninitiated that in truck garden
ing more than in any other field can re-
wards be obtained without hard work and that
here, as elsewhere, some experience is neces-
sary and that a man must expect to pay for
such experience il he has not acquired 1t at
the expense of somebody else before he struck
out for himself. Moreover, the up-to-date
trucker has come to realize that he must de-

ted that the methods now in vogue for keeping
celerv are defective for commercial purposes.
Truckers are working to solve the problem, how
ever, and ultimately will succeed. So, likewise,
they are striving for economies in other direc'
tons. For example. means have lately been
discovered for utilizing the greenhouses or fore

Finally it may be noted that even the potato
has taken standing as truck crop in late years
and thousands of acres are annually planted in
early varieties of potatoes which are harvested
as soon as they attain suitable size and rushed

rates" because they buy in quantity. 1hey
are so glad to be assured OF dependable 'ese'
tables of the highest grade that they pay as
much as the same stuff would bring at retaH
in the same city.
An interesting side line that has developed
in connection with twentieth century trucking
is the canning and preserving industry we
this tendency exempliied in two ways
First there is disposition on the part OF
the big canning firms that put up tomatoes
corn, ETC., to raise their own vegetables and
in not few instances in late years the can
ming factories have been moved |'to the fields
to be near the source of supply. Secondly,
and more significant. is the disposition OF
truckers to put up in glass or tins their sur
plus products and to market them direct. The
farmers wife and daughters, from time out OF
mind, have been stocking the home larder
for winter use in this manner, but latterly
they have taken to picking and preserving
for the great outside public as we'll. In many
instances where the responsibilities have be-
come too much for the women folk on the
truck farm outside help is called in-school
girls eager to earn vacation money; summer
boarders who are willing thus to pay their
way; and factory folk from the neighboring
towns who are out of work temporarily, ow-
ing to the summer shut downs"
Time was when the average farmers wife
was wont to declare that 1t did not pay to
can or preserve for the market, however much
pride she might take in such work for the
household and however much qualification she
might feel when her jams and stewed fruits
took the prizes at the county fair. All this
stigma of appropriateness has passed, how
ever. When the public will pay twenty to
thirty-fve cents for small glass of jelly and
as high as one dollar for a quart jar Of pre-
served fruit it is no use to talk about it being
a thankless job even though it be hot task
on summer day. The truckers have discov-
cred that the public will always pay good and
even fancy prices for these 'by'products" If
they can have the assurance that they are
getting pure products of superior quality put
up without the use of Injurious preservatives
