drop into this Valley but their So
journ here is usually limited to a
few days. A day or so ago one of
their number secured a job on one of
the larger ranches and at dinner
time, in the temporary absence of
the boss. took advantage of the op-
portunity, mounted his chair and de-
liyered a burning talk on the cause
he claimed TO represent. He urged
the men to fight for an eight-hour

boss happened along just in time to
hear something about 81 day and a
few moments later the agitator was

NO DELINQUENT TAXES
IN DOUGLAS COUNTY
Property Holders Meet Assess
ments Promptly and Books
Are Clear.

Every person that owns property
in Douglas county paid their second
installment OF taxes before the eX-
piration of the time limit, conse-
quently this county has no delin-
Quent tax list at this time. For sew
eral years past this same condition
has existed and the only taxes that
have been allowed to go delinquent,
was IA few mining properties at Buck
skin, and in one or two instances
where titles were being perfected.
In the matter of meeting their
taxespromptly and on time, the peo-
pie of Douglas county leads all 9TH

Arrangements have been made to
hold a dance at Bijou on the evening
of July Fourth. This dance is given
especially for Carson Valley people
and all who attend will surely have
an enjoyable time.

work of building storage reservoirs

the establishment of irrigation pro

some day have a population of one

Dairying Profitable
For Farmers
Dair Cows Make Alfalfa Bring
Farmers Eighteen Dollars
a Ton.

Nevada, so far as farming is con-
cerned, is essentially grazing state.
1t requires little proof for this state
ment, for we have only to note the
trainloads of cattle passing over the
Southern Pacific TO be convinced of
the fact says V. E. Scott. professor of
dairying at the University of Nevada.
But here and there are well set
tiled communities where the price of
land is too high for the mainten
ance of beef cattle or sheep
1t is very true that some farmers
are making good living by feeding
on the range during the summer,
but at best these farmers are get
ting IS to 50 a ton for their hay and
often much less. Some of the farm
ers depending on selling their hay
are obliged to hold over or sell at a
sacrifice
Now, with land at 5000 to $500
an acre, farmers cannot afford to sell
their hay at extremely low prices.
and as the hay crop in Nevada is in
creasing very rapidly, some means
must be found to keep up the prices.
Some farmers have decided that
the dairy COW will make alfalfa hay
pay better than anything else.
Even with the price of butter fat
as low as "a cents, alfalfa fed to
COWS will bring SIG per ton. A few
figures are sufficient to show this.
COW to be worth keeping should
give, on an average, at least one
pound of butter fat a day for 800
days, or 300 pounds in a year. Many
farmers would beef COW if she did
not do better than this.
Basing our figures on such cows
and on 24-cent market for butter
fat, We have the following:
The average dairy COW will eat
about 900 pounds of alfalfa in
month. She will produce 80 pounds
of butter fat which, sold at u cents
a pound, brings $40. This repre-
sents Sic ton for fhe hay.
OF course daring requires more
labor than beef and mutton pro-
duction, but the figures have quot
ed are the lowest.
Butter fat will average for the
year at least 80 cents pound.
This would bring SIS a ton for the
hay. and If we improve our herds
as we should be wedding out the poor
producers, we would get an average
production of from $40 to 400 pounds
of butter fat year.
This would bring us SIS to 500 a
ton for hay which, ii baled, would
bring only from SIS to s12 ton.

HOGS FROM FAY RANCH
ARE PRIZE WINNERS
Reno Wholesale Buyers Declare
POrkers are Best they
Have Bought

Recently a carload of hogs were
shipped from the Fay ranch in this
Valley to the Nevada Packing COM
pany of Reno, and this paper learns
that with but one exception, it was
the best lot of hogs ever received by
the Reno house. Mr. Fay has spent
several years improving the breed
of hogs and his efforts have been
successful. Hogs may be hogs in
the minds of some, but the buyer
easily distinguishes difference in
the quality and the producer in the
price he receives.

obligations to carry out immediately,

"The present officers of this munich

major portion of them in Europe. In
stead OF putting it in the tax budget
of the city. and fixing a tax rate SUI
fcient TO meet the interest and prln-
cipal on these bonds. they issued a
budget which did not include them.
The consequence was that the tax rate
was lower Than the Indebtedness OF the
CITY warranted. md these officials az

with glory for keeping down the tax
rate. That was merely TO get the tax
