How many are desiring to return to
the strenuaus days of sixteen years
ago? How many farmers, now shout
ing for Roosevelt, are anxious to go
back to the days when farm crops
brought not enough to pay their pre-
sent rate of taxation? Rather. how
many would be willing to have these
times continue? How many are being
robbed By the tariff or the trusts? The
probability is that the course pursued
by men who will be the most directly
affected is what is going to determine
the result of the election. How many

THREsHING-THE OLD WAY

y
he'll tell you how he used to feed
If he wei did, pa will enjoy telling you
all about IT.
"Going with a machine was a
pretty prominent occupation in the old
days and the ambition of most youths
raised on a farm. 1t compared with
belonging to the volunteer fire depart
ment In small towns, membership in
the national guard in the larger towns.
There was distinction about il. 1t
argued knowledge of machinery and
carried with it some measu of COM
mand.
In the older days a horsepower fur
nished the motive force of all threshing
machines. In the very oldest days of
small thrashers an eight horsepower
and later on ten, twelve and even six
teen as the separators grew larger.
High on the footboard in the center of
twelve straining horses which went
round and round heaving at the long
sweeps stood the driver. 1t was a
knack to "drive on the horsepower
getting out of each team lis just share
of the work without drawing protest
from some horse owner with a watchful
eye and a jealous disposition. Two
machine teams" belonging TO the
thrasher's ontft constituted part of the
battery, and it was generally conceded
by farmers that they were favored,
which was Indignantly and as generally
denied by the outfit. Later on equal
izers' determined at a glance whether
one team or another was tagging, and
the accusation was common that the
thrasher nen what sweep to hitch to
and that the ~equalizing apparatus was
fixed in favor of their teams. 1t was
a knack to keep up motion" not to
fast or too slow, and there were famous
drivers in the land and others much
criticized and decried.
There were three of you. Each
took his turn at driving. at feeding
and at tending separator" 1t was
dirty work feeding with a fall wind
which blew the dust and mold back
into the face Of the feeder. With him
suffered the two band cutters, one on
each side, and perhaps the pitchers on
the stack; tor in those earlier days
thrashing from the field was a slovenly
performance and argued that you could
not put up a stack that would shed
water. The feeder was monarch of all
he surveyed. He called for motion
and glared at the boy bandcutters with
the air of an emperor. He signaled
with authority for more bundles and
fiercely ordered the pitchers to quit
"piling them up His duty and his
highest aim was to keep the motion
down" to q subdued and steady hum
ming Of the gears, which assured that
the fans were not blowing the grain
over into the straw" A green straw
stack meant another ~thrashing on that
farm next thrashing time. But when
the stack having peaked toward its
finish, and the man at the tail Of the
straw carrier being in q tight place,
no feeder was proof against the desire
to crowd him to the last straw. Then
he would wink for more motion. and
The carrier, filled to its limit, dis
charged straw faster than any human
being had power to fork it away. And

CALLED BY
GRIM REAPER
Daniel Quill, Well Known Here,
Dies After Submitting to
Surgical Operation

Dan Quill, well know in Gard
nerville where he resided for sew
sral years, died in San Francisco
Sunday following serious surgi-
cal operation. His remains were
brought to Carson for burial.
The death of Mr.. Quill came as
shock to his friends here as he
was believed to be in perfect
health.
About four years ago the de-
ceased left Gardnerville and went
to Sacramento where he took over
the gaming interests at the West
ern hotel. Later he became assoc
lated with Carl Baker in the same
business and conducted it until
his death.
Daniel Quill was one of the big
gest hearted men in the west and
most charitable. No man ever
applied to him for a meal or
lift and was refused. He helped
those that were down and out and
while no one ever heard him say
one word regarding his open
purse, yet his close friends declare
that small fortune passed from
his hands in this way.
He counted every man as his
friend and possessed a reputation
for honesty that will linger lorg
after his body has returned to clay.
Deceased was practically raised
in Carson and at the time of his
death was 53 years of age. Be-
sides his mother, he leaves four
sisters and four brothers TO mourn
his loss.

A PROSPEROUS
SECTION VISITED

K. J. Phillips and the writer
paid visit to Smith and Mason
Valleys this week. The trip to
Yerington was made via Bucksin,
returning through Mason, Nordyke
and over the Hudson pass.
1t is surprising to see th. many
new farms that are coming into
existence in Smith Valley. Much
new land has been cleared during
the winter and will be cultivated
for the first time this year.
Warrington was found TO be a
hustling, busy little city. Mason
is building rapidly and there seems
to be plenty business there for
both towns. While the farmers OF
Mason Valley are of a progressive
spirit, they do not seem to be up
and a coming like their Carson
Valley brethren. By this it is
meant that they 10 not keep up
their land to such high standard.
The copper mines are sending
over $50 tons of ore to the big
smelter over the Copper Belt r. r.
The roads were found to be in
excellent condition for automo-
billing, with the exception OF the
Hud soB Pass road, where in places
the sand is at least eight inches
deep.

Nevada Sugar Con1pany's Experts
NoU interviewing Carson
Valley Farmers.

Fred Heinze, manager of the
Nevada Sugar company, and
Charles S. knight, Chief Agricul-
turist OF the same company, spent
last Thursday and Friday in
Carson Valley interviewing the
farmers relative to raising sugar
beets. The gentlemen also ex-
amined the soil in many parts of
the Valley ard announced that
no place yet examined by them
offered greater promise than found
here.
Ia speaking of their mission to
this Valley, Mr.. Heinze said: at
is our idea 10 induce numerous
farmers in this Valley to devote
at least ten acres each TO sugar
beets. We do not advocate seed
ing less than ten acres from the
fact that less than that amount
cannot be handled proftably.
Beet raising will bring greater
profits to the farmer than any
crop that can be planted. An
acre of ground under normal con
dltions will produce about II tons
Of beets worth So per ton or a total
OF $50 per acre. The cost of seed
lng, cultlvating and hauling is be-
tween $40 and s25, leaving a profit
of So or $65 per acre"
Beets ere highly beneficial TO
land containing alkali, but it is
not true that they will thrive in
soil highly saturated with alkali.
Beets will build up old alfalfa

county clerk. This may result in
primary ballot OF gigantic size,
but according to authorities, who
have much experience is such
matters. 1t is expected to simpli-
fy the form of the ballot and o
result in a saving of expense to the
county.

which long and continuous grow
ing af alfals has taken from it.
The possibilities that may de-
rived from this trial of sugar
beet culture are manifold and
should receive the earnest con-
sidertion of every farmer in this
Valley. 1t will enrich his soil,
bring handsome returns for his
labor and possibly be the means of
bringing new industry to this
Valley. Should the culture of
beets prove as profitable as believ-
ed, the industry would spread and
in the event that in time that
5000 acres are devoted to b cts
factory in this locality W Il be
the natural outcome.
Mr.. Heinze stated that the rm.
ers of Lovelock, Mason and aer
Valleys throughout the State have
agreed to give their support to the
ind ustry their hearty support.
Yesterday Prof. Knight, return
ed to the Valley accompanied by
Geo. Lakes and will interview the
farmers of this section explaining
in full all of the details and
advantages of sugar beet culture.
Mr.. Helnze talked beets to all OF
the farmers that he could reach in

his return to Fallen, stated that he
was very encouraged with the re
suits of his visit and felt sure that
