Did 1t EUer Happen To Yon?'
The Experiences of Party of Automobiles on Journey

There is no discounting the fact, that

automobile will act as ballly as flea

There are many enthusiastic automo-

OF very fine cars. In fact nearly every
standard make can be seen on the streets
of the city, from the dainty electric--the
acme of elegance-to the massive touring

knowledge that there are many expert
drivers-outside of the professional chauf-

Last week a party of well known gen

the first car was Dr. John W. Perkins,
john Leedy and Hugh Bagley. In the
second car John McCarty and Ed Erchart,
which it Is needless TO say. was The
Lion and Mac the driver. The party
started out in great spirits with the Lion
in the lead as pathfinder. Mac secretly
determined also to act as pace-nlaker and

and the stamina of his car to set the

smoke and grind of the city were left

Then something went wrong with the
LioI and it went dead Mac made a
few adjustments. brfskly jumped out or

40 feet and went dead again. Mac re-
peated the performance with practically
the same results This time Mac made
the adjustments and told Ed Erehart to
crank the car. Ed responded with alacr-

a fatal accident and the road would

Issues Farm bu||edn
On Nevada Situation
Discusses Dry Farming and Gives
Timely Warnings. Interesting
Data Furnished

The significance of the term "dry-
farming is not generally grasped,
because the significance lies in the
application OF the term rather than
i'll its literal interpretation We may
as well acknowledge that there is
really no such thing as dry farm
ing, that moisture is ever essential
to termination and development.
When we speak of dry farming we
mean a process rendered necessary
where available moisture is less than
what we have been accustomed to
use under ordinary agricultural con-
ditions. where the region is called
semiarid a process by which mois
ture is conserved, stored up against
the day when it is needed to foster
plant life.
Dry farming in Nevada is a good
proposition in which to make haste
slowly. We do not say this because
we doubt its practicability in certain
areas, but because these areas are
as yet extremely indefinite. Nevada
cannot afford failures in dry-far1ning.
therefore we advise caution. Any
policy which induces haphazard
settlement is short-sighted under the
most charitable analysis"

The Nevada Experimental Station
is issuing bulletins in reclamation to
dry farming in this State. No. l
of the series has been mailed and
some good advice is being furnished
those who would follow this new
system. Aside from review OF re-
suits and some advice as to planting
and culture, the following is a pOr-
ton of the introduction, which has
the, right ring:
Opinion is divided as to the feas-
ibility OF dry farming in the State
OF Nevada. If we read some of the
literature published on the subject
and if we are prone to accept as
gospel all that sounds well, we must
pcrforce become converts to the
dry farm OF the future idea. If, on
the other hand, we are accustomed
to the use of three feet of water in
irrigation. or if we come from lands
where drainage is the big problem,
we are very apt to decide off-hand
that the dry-farm proposition in Ne
vada is naught but delusion and a
snare 1t is just little more than
possible that the days to come will
show us that, as usual, the truth
lies between the two extremes.

Brick and Tile Plant
Starts q Seasons Run
New Machinery is Added to the
Equipment. Finest Quality is
Acknowledged

The LuhrS brick and tile plant
south OF this city has started up for
the seasons run. During the past
two months new machinery has been
installed a long line OF drying sheds
have been built and kiln for burn
ing has been erected. This kiln is
of a modern system OF burning and
saves lot OF material and fuel
This has all taken time and the turn
ing out OF pressed brick is now un-
der way.
The machinery is nearly all auto
matte, The clay is taken from the
bank with teams and is sent to the.
grinder on a conveyor. From that
point it is pulvcrized and mixed,
when it is automatically fed into the
pressing machine. This in turn
forms a long layer OF pressed clay.
which is automatically cut by a ma
chine which is strung with wires for
the purpose. From this point an
other conveyor takes the pressed
bricks to table where they are
placed on carriages and go to the
drying sheds.
Like all new machinery there were
a few bitches but il is all beginning
to revolvc as it should and this week
will see lot of bricks in the she'd.
Last season two kilns OF hand
made bricks were turned out. They
were success in every particular,
but the pressed brick, on account Of
its soldity and uniform size. is Sc

The acquisition of the Nevada

would in no way interfere with Gug-
genheim operations in the district as

tain the mine branch and continue

that this clay takes on the best
color OF any so far found in Ne
vada is one OF the incentives that
started the manufacturing plant. The
clay when burned takes on a very
rich red which is uniform in color
and OF unusual hardness. Builders
who have taken samples all declare
that it is the best color OF any brck
found in the state if not on the
coast.
The brick making is but one fea-
turne of this factory 1t is proposed
to make irrigation tiling in large
quantities. y few sample things
were burned last season which came
out As anticipated and are OF the
best quality. Following the burning
OF 100000 brick the machines will be
started on the tile making. As this
tile laying in the irrigated district
is becoming a necessity. the demand
50 far has exceeded the supply. A
rumber of kilnS will be burned this
season and Carson Valley and other
sections have placed orders for this
material as soon as il cane be placed
on the market.
The starting OF the plant on the
seasons run means considerable for
this section As it gives employment
product onto the market that was
ether wise imported. 1t is expected
TO start the fires on the first kiln
within the next ten days or two
weeks.
