WHEN THE LAND
WILL HAVE TO BE
UNWATERED.

The discussion of government recla-
nation on the Walker River is again
being revived and, as usual, some are
found to assert that there is not any
too much water in this watershed for
land now under cultivation But if
the water was measured it could cas-
lily be proven that enough water goes
to waste, or is misused, evey season,
which, if scientifically used, would
grow far better and more productive
crops on every available acre of land
in the Walker River Valley. 1t is true
that times have been known when the
water has been scarce for little
while, but this shortage would have
existed had there been only fraction
of the land cultivated, and it would
have been not much more noticeable
had there been three times the num-
Der of acres titled. The trouble seems
to be that claimants of prior rights
to the water are afraid that to let
the other fellow have any will jeop-
ardize their own established rights,
and in order to keep the little fellows
out as far as possible they apply "all
the traffic will bear and the result is
that today more than half the land
being cultivated is becoming non
productive because of overwatering.
If the next session of the Legislature
will enact some code of irrigation
laws-some that can be understood
by the courts and obeyed by the peo-
ple-and will then take an adjourn
ment until the next Panama-Pacihc
Centennial they will confer a favor on
posterity and future generations will
rise and call them blest
According to present laws man is
not allowed to take his own life, nor
to burn his own hay, nor his home,
but he is allowed to, and is, every day
subjecting to permanent injury the
Soil to which, at least, he has but a
questionably and surely only transi-
tory title.
1t is remarked by many of the older
residents that more than half of the
land in this valley is failing to produce
crops to the extent of former years,
and this condition will become more
noticeable everey year until the people
wake up to their condition. 1t has
cost vast amount of money to con-
struct bitches and weirs to get the
water from the river onto he land, but
it will cost far more to unwater the
land, even now, than it did in the first
place to water it, and the longer he
UNIV Altering is postponed the greater
will be the ultimate cost. So serious
has this question already become that
it should be made the subject for dis
cussion by every newspaper and COM
mercial association and agricultural
society, not only of the Walker River
watershed but the entire State of Ne

PILFERED HONEY.

One day last week some fellow witt
a sweet tooth" stole about thirty
pounds of fine honey from the home
of Chas. Johnston. who lives few
miles north of Yerington. The rob
berry took place just before Thanks
giing day and the thief also took along
several fine turkeys that were roost-
ing too low for their health at this
season of the year. The miscreant
was, evidently, not going to go with
out turkey dinner on that memor-
able day Mr. Johnston believes he
knows who the thief is but has de
cided not to prosecute.

WHY A PROGRESSIVE
FARMER WAS ELECTED
TO HELP MAKE LAWS.

The story is told of an old country,
celebrated for the wisdom of its peo
pie, that when choosing men to make
laws, for its builders took men off the
walls; to make laws for metal work
ers, men from the furnace and anvil;
for weavers, men from the looms, and
to make laws for agrarians, men from
the plow, for none were qualified to
suggest laws for farmers except those
whose hands had ached from welding
the axe or the hoe, and whose loins
had given power to the swing of the
scythe and the reaper. This story
has been read by many a taxpayer of
Lyon county and that is why the great
majority of farmers voted for George
Friedhoff at the last election to go
up to Carson to help make a few good
new laws and, if possible, bury mul
titude of the old and bad ones in SO
far as they effect the farmers of Ne
vada
A visit to the Friedhoff ranch in the
upper end of Mason Valley will show
that the young manager is we'll quail
fed to make laws if successful home
management is any indication. Five
years ago this ranch was wilderness
of weeds and willows and alkali
swamps, but by judicious drainage
and leveling it is now a succession of
productive fields of hay, grain and
root crops In animal husbandry the
place is a model other farmers would
do we'll to copy from, as every branch
is being rapidly improved by infusion
of better blood. A registered stallion
is at the head of the draft stock, a
registered Holstein at the head of the
dairy herd, and Berkshire boar,
whose pedigree is free from blemish,
and far more respectable than that of
any of the Kings of Europe, or any
of the titled idlers our millionaires are
so anxious to secure as mates for their
daughters. But it is not alone in the
out-of-doors that this thrift is shown
the home from the cellar through to
the pantry and the kitchen to the din
ing-room is revelation in household
economy At the table every meal is
a banquet, and nearly everything that
goes on that table is grown on that
ranch Vast cellars are filled with all
kinds of root$ctdps and Vegetables,
pickles, preserves, jellies, jams Srd
other thing-if bottles-nf to be
found on Urcfe Sans warshps since

kraut, ito be used mr case of sickness"
as the owner facetiously remarks.
Not only as lesson in agricultural
economics but as a pattern in profit
able investment of capital will visit
to this home pay any young man or
woman, and if the young giant who
knows so we'll how to milk cows, drive
the teams or feed the pigs, is as sue
cessful in the making of laws as in the
making of ranches, certainly the vot-
ers. of Lyon county will have no re-
gret in the choice they made of law
maker from their county

ADVANCE OF
COPPER is DUE
TO CURTAILMENT.

During the past month this couI
try's surplus stock of copper is said to
have shrunk twenty million pounds.
With the domestic demand for rp-
per increasing, the inquiry from Euro
pean countries becoming stronger as
well as reports from those countries
that their stocks are considerably &c
creased, and with the reported shrink
age in domestic stocks, due to domes-
tic buying, and a curtailment o. pro
duction, large interests are predicting
a further and more rapid advance IN
the price of the metal.
Domestic buying h4s been more
conspicuous. The bulk of the bust
ness has been for December and jan
uary delivery, but there has been more
or less inquiry as far ahead as next
March, although the leading produc-
ers have been unwilling to book SO far
ahead. While business has not i'm
proved to any marked extent with
the manufacturing trade, the decidedly
better feeling that has developed in
the financial world has led to the be
lief that considerable Improvement is
near at hand in the industrial world,
and apparently manufacturers who
have been carrying only enough cop
per to meet current requirements are
now inclined to anticipate this pros
pective betterment in business.
In addition to the domestic demand
there has been a good demand from
England, France and Italy. Hence,
in view of the drastic measure of cur
tailment of production that has been
in effect during the past two or three
months, the statistical position of the
metal must have ceased to undergo
impairment There has been some
talk of the possibility OF consumers
finding that there is not enough OF
copper to go around, in the event that
all should try to fill their requirements
at the same time.
Copper interests claim that the up
ward movement is a legitimate one.
None OF the agencies has made any
special effort to force the metal up.
Some copper companies report that
they have already sold their Novem
Der output and part OF their probable
production in December thereby plac
ing the industry in much stronger
position financially.
The question OF shipments to neu
tral countries. which was considered
to be in fair way to solution, is again
clouded by seizures of copper cargoes,
this time bound for Scandinavian
ports.
The Norwegian steamer Sif has
been taken into Glasgow and the 400
tons of electrolytic copper which she
was carrying have been taken off the
vessel. The copper was consigned to
Gothenburg, Sweden. 1t is also re
ported that the Norwegian steamer
Tyr, earring 1000 tons of ore, has
been detained at Glasgow. Copper
agencies are at loss to understand
these seizures, in view of the fact that
Norway and Sweden, among other
neutral countries, had placed an en-
barge on shipments of copper into
belligerert countries.

RenviIIe County
Opens Campaign
Hog Cholera Conference at Olivia
Lays Plans to Eliminate
Dread Disease
MANY GOOD SPEAKERS PRESENT
Cooperation Is Keynote of Fight
Against Scourge; Hog Census
Now Being Taken
FALLS, MINI
BY W. p. kirkwood

The campaign for the eradication
of hog cholera in Renville county,
and in the state of Minnesota, is on.
As first guns in the warfare, at the
hog cholera conference at Olivia two
resolutions were passed. One of
these warns the farmers against the
practise of feeding swine various
so-called cures or antidotes such as
peroxides, formaldehyde, I've and 9TH
ers,'' because ''they weaken the re-
sisting power and have no curative
effects" The other calls upon the
railroads to disinfect their stock cars
and their shipping yards.
The practise of feeding formalde-
hyde, I've, and even carbolic acid to
hogs was reported at the conference
Thursday. Farmers, it was said, had
been led to this kind of thing by adj
vertisements in certain farm jour
mails. The result had been disastrous.
A hog buyer present reported some
carelessness on the part of the rail-
roads, and the resolution passed in
relation to this matter, it was felt,
would call the attention of traffic
men to the need of greater care in
the present emergency, and would Sc
cure assistance.
Sanitation Necessary
One of the great measures insisted
upon by numerous speakers, includ-
ing Professor A. D. Wilson, head of
the extension division of the College
of Agriculture, DR.. NJ Fl. Reynolds,
head of the veterinary department OF
the same institution; DR.. S. Fl. Ward
representing the livestock sanitary
board, was the most careful sanitary
precautions. Prevention, the cry was
must GO hand in hand with the serum
or the serum and virus treatment
Farmers were urged to use the ut
most care to prevent others from
bringing infection into their owr
herds, and they must likewise be as
careful not TO carry infection from
their own farms to the farms of 9TH
ers. T. A. HoEerstad of the 500 rail
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1914-05-05
outlined sanitary precautions, as al
ready mentioned.
Why Some Treatments Fail

Why Some Treatments Fail
DIR. Reynolds then told of the poll
cies of the serum plant at the state
experiment station and told some of
the reasons for failures in the admin
istering of serum. He said that serum
was often administered in doses too
small, or often too late, and that
sometimes serum obtained from mis-
F., cellaneous sources was poor stuff and
dirty, or even a mere believe.
He told of one compound put out by
fake concern that was nothing more
nor less than prune juice. Good
serum intelligently used,'' he said,
may be depended on for. anything
that may reasonably be expected of
it."
Check for the Crooked
In connection with talk about fake
remedies, Dean Woods told the crowd
that if any of them received anything
looking like a fake advertisement
through the mails they should save
the envelope and Cancelled stamp and
forward the same to the experiment
station, as such material constituted
a basis on which the postofice de-
partment could begin proceedings to
bar the crooked advertising from the
mails.
Bulletins That Will Aid
Professor Wilson, in a humorous
way, enforced the need of care on
the part of the farmers. He urged,
jokingly, that the scientist should
breed up a larger type of hog cholera
germ, so that the farmers could see
them, go after them with their shot
guns. Then they would get out and
eliminate the pest. But, he said, the
germs are there and you can do much
to clean them out by following right
methods. This was not to be done
by fighting single-handed but by
working together. AS guides, he
urged that the farmers send to the
extension department of the agricul
tural college for bulletins bearing on
the subject.
The campaign is on. The first thing
is the completion of the census now
being taken. Following this will come
work of vaccination in infected dis
tricts. quarantining and disinfection.
The work is to be done in thoroughgo-
ing manner, and if the cleaning out
of hog cholera is possible-and it is
-RenviIle county will profit greatly.

political questions are being given
considerable attention, one of which
in all probability will occupy a prom
inent position as platform plank,
while the other will be conspicuous by
its absence. Indications are that the
inserted plank referred to will be one
favoring law enforcement; and the one
to be ignored at this meeting is the
removal bill' plank. The republicans
have inserted the removal bill' in
