Fred Hinze Says Lovelock Is Grow.
ing Fine Beet.

Fred Hinze returned Monday from
visit to Reno and Lovelock. At
the latter place he made investiga-
tions regarding the progress of sugar
beet culture and found astonishing
results being obtained. The total
acreage of beets in the district, he
found, is 20S acres and the stand

Anker, one of the states leading
farmers, has shown his faith in the
industry by planting 156 acres in
beets, $50 of which are in one field,
where the uniformity of the plants
and their vigorous character make
"a handsome display for the eyes of
that these beets will return from IL
to 10 tons per acre straight through
On the Reservation ranch near Love-
lock an experimental patch of IL
acres is growing rapidly into per-
feet maturity for our factory. while
40 aces are doing equally as well on
the Big Five ranch. Mr.. Hinze be-
lieves that Lovelock district will be
more and more contributor to our
local factory until in the ultimate the
idea will take such firm hold upon
them that factory will be erected
in the Humboldt valley.
In other parts of the state Mr..
Mime found the interest in the Fal-
Ion factory on the increase among
the agriculturists and he prophesies
that within a few years trainloads
of sugar beets will be finding their
way into Fallon from the nearby
valleys in exchange for money from

This same attraction will be intro

who have witnessed the great acts
performed at other places they are
pronounced to be the most wonderful
and should not be missed by anyone
who can find it convenient to attend
the state fair.
The management also announces
that there will be a very large ex-
hibition of livestock of all classes,
and nearly every section of the state
will be represented by an exhibit of
some kind. 1t has become a necessity
for the construction of many more
exhibit stalls to accommodate de-
mands already at hand.
The pavilion exhibition will also be
an interesting feature. All space in
the building has been assigned. Sew
eral counties have been given liberal
space to display their respective pro-
ducts. The pavilion has been provided
with 10 feet of beautiful exhibit
show cases of modern construction
and will in itself present a worthy
feature. Inquiries from ladies living
throughout the state have been re-
ceived by the pavilion superniten-

known their intention of having on
exhibition sample of their handi-
work.

SEPTEMBER is TO BE DRY
FATHER RICARD ANNOUNCES

1t is to be a dry month according
to Prof. J. S. Ricard of Santa Clara
college, Cal. Father Ricard's wealth
eff predictions for this coast this year
made last February, have attracted
general attention, as he made public
his method, which is based upon the
prevalence of sunspots. Every one
of the storms predicted by him came
just as forecasted, without a single
exception.
In a statement just issued from
the college, he says the sunspot in
fiuences are still at work. The first
storm predicted-that reaching the
coast August 30-has already passed.
Slight disturbances, accompanied by
warm waves, are now predicted for
September to s, 1 to IA, II to 22,
"a to 2S, and October 1 to 5. on the
whole, however, September, he says
is going to be a warm and rather
dry month.

LAND OPENING NEXT YEAR
Reclamation Authorities Plan to
Reopen Project to Settle
ment Next Summer.

Present reclamation plans look to
the opening of this project to settle
ment not later than Sept 1st, 1914.
This conclusion has been reached on
higher officials of the service who
have concluded that an earlier OPEN
ing would initiate against project
interests. A body of land will be
opened to settlement, larger than the
entire area now in cultivation, and
that it will be readily snapped up
by prospective homebuilders is amply
evidenced by the fact that Statisti-
clan c. J. Blanchard, of the service,
has 1000 applications on file in his
department from people anxious to
take fling at Uncle Sans Nevada
irrigation enterprise. All these folks
are being kept posted upon the pro-
gress of events within this project by
subordinates in Mr.. Blanchard's de-
partment, and 1t would seem that the
land opening next year will attract
a throng of people hither that will
rival in size the crowds that former
ly made mining camp life so spec
tacular within Nevada,
Meanwhile the service Is busy with
plans for the reception of this throng.
The Central Pacific railroad COM
pany, which has hitherto made an

service officials to refrain from plae-
ing additional values upon their
lands, but rather to surround their
land sales with more stringent rules

ther speculation of private capital
