DR.. Elliott was greatly i'm

write Mr.. Wingfeld and urge
him to later stand for the Sena-

GOVERNMENT PREVENTS RELIEF

Forbids Water Storage That Would
Develope Many Acres

| The scarcity of water through
! causing more general comment
among those who depend on lrrl-
CATION than in the history of this
and adjoining valleys. A pecul-
liar feature is that there can be
little relief in sight
Some years ago the Reclama-
ton Service OF the Government
set aside all streams leading 20
the Carson River as ii part OF the
Truckee-Carson reclamation serv-
ice. In other words no one can
now formulate plans for storage
on the creeks on which they have
owned water rights since the lirst
white man appeared on the scene.
A plan was contemplated some
time ago to several of the large
canyons west of this city into res
ervoirs where flood waters would
be stored and used for just such
a condition as exists now. When
it was found that the Govern
ment was i'll the way the project
was abandoned as the Eastern
promoters could not figure any
profits in a lwsuit and inJuunc-
tions.
The result is that during the
flood season. which always fol-
lows in the spring, vast quanti
ties OF water run to the sinh and
is of no use to anyone. Had the
Government figured in bettering
the condition of this valley by
grabbing this surplus water there
might have been some sense in the

CLOVER
BECOMES
NUISANCE

The sweet or bull clover, which
has gradually gained headway -.
this valley, has invaded many %.

kinds of trouble for the prope| :
holders. This immense clover o.
ten grows ten feet high and ..r
many places it overtopst ,",
fences and crowds the paths. Al,
has resulted in killing Off orcharu
grass where the two grow ~
gether About the only thin
that lives with this white clover IS
foxtail and the two seem to jim
nicely.
For years this was kept down,
but it has such start at preseI,
that it will require a lot OF atteil-
ton on the part of the property
owners to wipe it out.
The Government is advising the
planting of this clover for dry
farming and to be used for fOd-
der. There is seed and start
enough about Carson S streets to
seed down half the state. As it
grows without irrigation it should
thrive on the dry farm. The EN-
of horses and cattle is
all right but in the meantime Car
son has grown wild with foxtail
and sweet clover. We believe
that the loose horse has the pref
