Enterprise

YESTERDAY it a announced that Carson Valley people. who
needed thing for their farm, had decided to star a manpiacturing en-
terpnse in this city The announCc cement is N that l., pleasing The
farmers in a number OF instances have paid fancy prices to outside
corporations and o want profits themselves.
When the Carson Valley farmer first started the creamery projects
there va a rav doubt in the minds OF many that it prove a ucct>>
1t not only proved a success but h, made Carson Valley the richest OF
its size and per capita or the coast Mortgages are 10 known. while
bank accounts are plentiful
The same condition exists in connection with the proposed thing
plant. The farmers have figured II that one million dollar, worth OF
this material is needed in the valley. They have the money to buy the
product but a to make their W profits by manufacturing at first
cost. It was clean-cut enterprise that has started them III the straight
business line.
In Utah. where extensive farmjngc culture i, pract,cd. many OF the
farms are sub-Lked, that is they ae placed from twelve to eighteen
inches below the surface Instead Of a farmer irrieating the top of h.,
ground he irrigates underneath where the roots are. and when the moi~
tuc shows IN the surface he has his ground wet from the roots nj and
M OF down. This class o. underground irrigation is a Gee and it is
found that water goes vastly further than by allowing it to evarorate
and run to waste as it often does in surface bitches. It is with this in
partial view that the plant is to be erected.
The thrifty German in his native country found that the tiles were
the only "a to successfully drain low lands. They have used them for
the past two centuries They will use them in the Nevada soggy lands
for reclamation purposes.
As Carson Valley is but one of the few sections that is modenized
in farm culture the plant will have a big field o work on. Show the
farmer where economy an be pracised and he get, in and ride. He
has the money to operate with and does the operating. The opening of
this new industry is but a start of many that should follow. Roof til.
ing can be added, and all drainage pipes by merely changing the dies
All such "a considered and is a part OF the program. The Germans
Of Carson Valley we're considered slow, but they have made a success
of every practical venture and in this case have figured not for a day but
Tor years ahead. They have taught the Yankee settlers many lessons
and this is but me.

Editor Times: l have been
considerably amused at the varied
solutions offered to the mathe-
NAUTICAL problem presented by Mr..
Houston. We believed the re-
suit obtained by Mr.. Beardsley,
and presented in this evenings is
sue of the Times, is clearly the
correct answer, though the COM
plicated array of figures in which
he sets forth his conclusions are
confusion and altogether unneces-
sary.
If the article cost 81 and was
sold at a profit of 10 per cent,
after deducting the commission
for selling, the dealer must have
received $1.10 net. If he pays %
per cent commission for selling
(Which of course, is % per cent
on the selling price, he would
plainly have left rs per cent, de-
Quoting the % per cent from 100
per cent, which is the total selling
price. According to the state
ment he has left 81 with 10 per
cent, or 10 cents added, which is
$1.10. Then If $1.10 is rs per
cent of the selling price, one per
cent would be .0141 Pts (Which
Is found by simple division) then
100 per cent, or total selling price
would be 100 times the last num-
Der or S1.41 1-39.
