BETS ARE GOLD NINE.
Mitchell County Farmers Make Over
500 an Acre Clear on the
Sugar Beet.

Some of the farmers in Mitchell
county in the raising of sugar beets
believe they have struck gold mine.
Quite a few farmers will clear 500
per acre on every acre planted TO
beets. Gar. Moody has sixty acres
planted and he is now harvesting the
crop. Before work was begun some
OF the experts said that the yield
would be thirty tons per acre, and
now that he is harvesting the crop
and making actual weight, he finds
that it is going still better than that.
He is selling at 50 per ton. The
cost, complete, in raising and mar
keting these beets has been S45 per
acre, so that he will make clear and
clean $105 per acre on every acre
he has in beets.

Nevada has two good laws n her statute books that do no need

INVESTIGATION Committee

THE committee appointed in he Senate to investigate the prison
steel cell contract has asked for nor time. The committee has given
the matter all the time and consideration possible, but owing to the fact
that it will accomplish much along the line. The trouble with invesiga-
tons of this character is that the lei on the committees intend to II
earth any crooked work, but on account Oft the lack Of material Ito work
with there is not much chance to enlghten the public. About IL te
present committee has to work OF is the contracts that weres submit
ced. It seems that Nevada has been overcharged in the matter and the
report OF the committee will be confined to such facts. If Nevada real
" wants to get to the bottom of such contracts the matter should be put
in some secret service hands that could probe the entire affair to the
bottom.
