The wise farmer belongs to two

to have it, and keep it good.
Americans have been prodigals
in the use Of land, buying too much
of it, and wasting its substance in
poor farming methods. The
market gan deners of Paris feed the
city; their costly plots of rented
land represent expenditures for
fertilizers equal to the rental
value. and togather often reachs
of sum of $4,000 an acre and
over, but they produce by
incredible skill and toll $4,000 to
$4,000 per acre.
England's peasants rent from
one to ten acres, paying from three
to four pounds an acre, yet by
lavish use of fertilizers and by
skillful culture they make
goud," and find sustenance, and
sometimes put away a few coins.
The small holdings in England have
attracted wide attention, and q

A BOOST FOR BACHMAN

We. the undersigned member,

recognizing the many sterling
Qualities possessed by Mr.. Emmett
L. Bachman. due hereby respect
fully urge the voters of Elko
county to support him in the cam

of County Commissioners (short
term.) In this case the office is
seeking the man. Mr.. Ba"hman
did not desire office. We prevail
ed upon him to make the fight
because we believe him peculiarly
qualified and this body always has
in mind the good of the county.
We have known MIR. Bachman
for many years and have found
him to be upright. honest and
more than capable citizen: one
who has had at all times the
interest of his county and state
at heart.
We feel assured that in asking
for your support we are doing that
which will make for better roads,
better commercial conditions il
Elko county. Mr.. Bachman has
stood always for the advancement
of things Industrial in his county
and will if elected devote his time
to the bringing about far better
condition in our own locality. He
has stood long and resolutely for
county road impr, vement-our
paramount need at present-that
is so long as this feature of local
government does not bring about
burdensome taxation. He is him
self a Taxpayer, a man of ideal
family life and is known here as
one whose word is his bond and
whose pl omise involves his honor.
Mr.. Bachman has lived for four
years in Ruby Valley and has been
for eight years in business at
Tuscarora. This fact should save
the county many dollars in mileage
during his term of office as his
duties can be administered from
that central point.
The undersigned prefer to have
this petition considered not as a
political document but as an earnest
of their duty to their fellow
citizens of Elko county and as an
expression of their faith in the
candidate whose name they urge
you to support at the primaries
and on election day-hecause he is
