On the theory that ministers in
rural districts will ne better able
to perform their duties and get
into closer touch with the farmers
if they understand modern farm
methods, J. w. Newman, Com
missioner of Agriculture will es-
tablish IA special agricultural
school for ministers at the State
University in Lexington during

minister will he entitled to a
two-weeks' course free. and Mr..
Newman thinks he will be able
to arrange it So that the ministers
will not have to pay any board
during the time they are in Lex

has talked TO many ministers of
the rural districts and the sug-
"estl"n for "A course in agriculture

Successful Corn Growers.

Forty-fve boys in the state of
Georgia raised over 100 bushels
of corn last year on a single acre.
The Southern Ruialist in its is
sue of February 1st gives each
boys name and address together
with the amount of corn grown
per acre and further adds:
"The average yield of these
boys was 123 9 bushels, not per
acre, but from an acre. The av-
erage cost of This corn was 81
cents per bushel, and the aver
aye net porft-all expenses nf
production charged against the
crop-was S90.64 per acre.
The results exhibited and re-
corded from Tenns5ee, Mississip-
pi and North Carolina were e.
qually surprising, though not
quite so numerous.
A few further facts are Of prac
teal Importance. The largest
yields were, as q rule, made with
prolific or small-eared varieties.

TEN of Agriculture in Kentucky.
We all know that the soils of the
state are now in a worse cOndi-
tiOn than they were generation
ago. Likewise the increase in
population has necessarily made
the size of farms smaller. I'm.
der the conditions definite
problem presents itself quite
clearly, namely, that we must
be content to live ON less than
our fathers did or else that we
must study to make our land
produce more. The latter is
clearly the only course to pursue
the question is, how to 90 about
it During the last two or three
years the College of Agriculture
at Lexington has conducted a
small number of agricultural
clubs with the most gratifying
results. Heretofore the work has
necessarily been quite limited on
account of lack of men and
money and, for that matter,
the same condition still exists,
however, on account Of the ex-
cellent results obtained a greater
effort will. he made this season to
forward this work.
An agricultural club usually
does the best work when in con-
nection with some school or is
under the supervision of the
county school superintendent
though this is not necessarily the
case.

Road Litigation.

For some time movement has
been on foot TO widen the road
at a point on Hardwick's creek
at John W. Burgher's where the
creek has washed away the great
er portion of the road. At the
January term of the County
Court billiard Estes, Charlie
Welch and DIR. A. Il. Knox were
appointed viewers to look over
the road which they did and
made their report at the County
Court Monday. Exceptions to
this report was filed by Mr..
Burgher. Thus the case will
now have to be tried out by the
courts entailing the usual costs.
The report of the viewers is to
the effect that the amount of
land required is strip $40 feet
long by 80 feet wide. Mr.. Burgh-
er-is demandi2g s325 damages.
The court considers this very ex-
cessive.
The people of Hardwick's
creek verv badly need a much
better road and we hope to see
this improvement with other
much needed improvements.

NEVADA BANKS ARE
IN GOOD CONDITION

The state board of bank exami-
ners has issued statement Civ
ing the condition of the banks
of Nevada and closes the state
ment with the following:
1T will be seen that the new
banking law has had its effect in
many instances. By way of illus
tration, overdrafts amounting to
$780, ,21S.15 which was carried by the
banks in January have now been
reduced to $16S, ,143 SO, or a decrease
of 1917, 1889; and the banking
board feels that by the end of the
present year the overdraft column
will be further decreased by at least
one-half

banking act is good and strong

At the session held on the 18th
inst, the gathering was called to
order by Governor Oddie when the
matter of the valuation of work hors-
es was taken up, after the attor-
ney general had stated that the
cash" value of any property meant
the value of the property, should
1t be sold to satisfy debt.
After considerable discussion as
to the fluctuation of valuation of
work horses,it was decided to teave
the matter to the different assessors
as well as saddle horses, stock hors,
es and mules.
The valuation Of beef cattle was
placed at $50 per head, raise of
IS over last year. Mich cows were
raised from s25 to $50 per head. An
exception was made in the valuation
of stock cattle in the counties of
Esmeralda, Nye, White Pine, Lin
coin, Clark and Mineral, where the
valuation is placed at Sl5 per head
The question of fixing the valu
alton of stock cattle throughout the
state caused much discussion. Sew
eral of the assessors contended that
in places the owners were paying suf
ficient. Governor Oddie stated thai
in this item that here was not a
sufficient accounting being made by
the owners as compared with the re

not the case:
Phoebe, New, Jan. IL
Editor The Record,
| Last Saturday evening, too late
for notice In your paper, | received
from the Nevada EesMoines Mining
ficers of the company had read your
article in recent issue, and express
ing great astonishment that any eff
fort should be made to relocate
their property as abandoned They
knew that they had furnished me
the money TO do the annual work ON
all their claims for the year 1911,
that l had reported to them that
had expended the money in the man
ner and for the purpose had been
instructed.
The facts are briefly as follows:
The company resumed work ON its
property here on Dec. &c, 1910, ex-
pecting to proceed with development,
but mindful OF the law requiring an
nual expenditure on claims. The COM
pany would have begun much earli,
er in 1910 to do this work. but for
the fact that was tied up on some
government work in California and
could not get away from it sooner.
However, under the law and all de-
cisions on the subject. if claim
ant is In possession and working con-
tinuously on the last day of any
year, his rights are preserved and
he may proceed to hold and work
the claim in the following year.
The Nevada Des Moines Co., contin
ued to work without interruption un-
til between $500 and $4,000 had been
expended in labor and improvements
for the benefit Of its six claims
In the latter part OF January, the
railroad was washed out and we
were left many months without train
service This condition cast damp
er over all mining operations here,
and the Nevada Lses Moines Co. was
no exception. After reaching near
ly the point where the next step
would have been the installation OF
pumping machinery. and it being i'm
possible to get machinery In except
at prohibitiye expense for freight,
and it could not be operated without
coal, which couldn't be had without
train service, the company was fore
ed to stop work and wait

That the money was paid out
through the bank its officers will

, OF course the steps above explained
, would be sufficient to protect the
