Will Classify State Lands.

Emmett Boyle, member of the Ne

by E. d. Bowes, left for the Douglas
county seat this week to put into op-
Grafton the plans of the Commission
segregating and classifying the lands"
of the State for the purpose of taxa
ton, says the Carson Appeal, 1t is the
intention of the Commission to so ar
range the various lands for classifi-
cation, to the end that the County
Assessors will agree as to values
when making their returns. The
same system as has been inaugurated
in Douglas county will be followed
in each of the counties of the State,
through visits of representatives of
the Commission.

New Law Beng Observed.

On the first of the year the new law
which prohibits foreigners who can
not speak or understand the Eng
lish language from being employed
underground in mines, went into
effect, and all of the mine companies
in this district are complying with the
law, we understand Last week quite
a number of foreigners were discharged
from the Nevada Douglas mine and
they started to rough-house things at
Ludwig. The officers had some trou-
Bile but everything was peacefully ar
ranged at last and the discharged men
left for new fields. The Mason Val
ley Co. has let out this class of min
ers, also. The law is good one as no
man underground should be unable to
understand warning in time of
danger.

WHY NOT GROW WINTER
WHEAT IN NEVADA?
1t Would be Profitable Crop and
and Make Better Flour.

One crop that is badly neglected by
the ranchmen of Nevada is good
quality of hard winter wheat. 1t is
common complaint among Nevada
millers that it is never possible for
them to obtain a sufficient quantity
OF good hard wheat to fill the demand; /;
Tor as istwell- known, hrst-class flour
cannot be produced without adding a
large quantity of hard wheat to the
SOFT spring wheat generally grown in
this State. And all this hard wheat
must be bought outside the State, al
though our soil and climate are par
ticularly suited to the growing of this
greatest of all cereals.
1t is no exaggeration to state that
in Mason Valley, ten thousand acres
could have been planted to wheat this
last fall, and it is not to be presumed
that there are not ten other valleys in
the State that could duplicate this
acreage This would make a total of
ollC hulluI GU llOuSdIQ acres III the
State Now, planted to good Turkey
Red, Defiance or Blount No. 2, there
is no excuse for any of those Nevada
acres producing less han 90 bushels.
The days Chicago quotations an
nounoe this grade selling at 81 cents,
and the protective tariff" of transpor-
tation would easily add three cents.
At this rate our crop for the State
would total So,000,000 Now compare
this with the production of any of our
minerals IN which we take such an
amount of justifiable pride Then
think OF the economy; one irrigation
IN the fall TO get the crop up, and the
winter pasture would almost pay for
labor expended; little energy spent
in preparing the land; utilizing little
of the soil that is now mostly in
weeds; utilizing a little of the water
power now going to waste-and it
would make up the difference between
having poor grade of -four to buy,
and having a good grade to sell
Franklins difference of-between
having to buy and having to SELL
which Benjamin always placed at the
least twenty per cent.

GOOD MONEY IN RAISING
HEIFERS.
1t Sounds as Though Someone Was
Talking About Us.

The Pacific Dairy Review of recent
date contains the following article,
which seems to me to come as near
describing the situation in Mason Val
ley as anything have seen of late:
Money in Heifers.
"The demand for dairy cows and
heifers has never been as strong in
California as it has been during the
past two months This is particularly
true in the newer dairy section of the
State, which means the irrigated dis
tricts. We though a year ago that cow
raising was a velvety proposition
Then they sold at 500 to SIS for stock
of fair quality. Recent public and pri-
vate sales are reported in numerous
cases where the prices range above
$l00 and we would be at loss to in
form any prospective buyer where in
any section of California he might be
able to procure good mixers at less
than the new figure mentioned.
Evidently California dairymen are
acting in line with suggestion, which
is that we need more livestock and es-
pecially dairy cattle. Despite two seri-
Gus drouth years, the alfalfa growers
without stock through which to mark
ct it are realizing less than eight dol
lars on the past seasons crop by the
time baling and hauling to shipping
~ 81 he
present unsatisfactory prices there is
big prospect of a large carry-over
into the new season and those who
have their past seasons crop on their
hands are naturally asking themselves
what next seasons prices will be.
The answer can only be found in the
amount of livestock in the State to
consume it.
This is what is sending up the price
of dairy cattle and those dairymen
who have been raising their heifer
calves have nothing to regret. The
other day we were told of sale of a
bunch of grade Holsein heifers rang
ing in age from II to "a months at $40
head These hefers, in other words,
! grew into money at an average rate
| of about $3.50 per month from birth.
The heifer crop is one of the good
things on a dairy farm with good
blood to support it, but in spite of it
there are many dairymen who can't
see anything in a heifer calf but few
dollars worth of veal"
| am not trying to advocate dairy
ing as the only safe way of making
money on the farm, just because | am
in the business, but when man con-
templates selling out his dairy entirely
just because butter prices run little
low for awhile or-because he can not
exactly have his own way in running
the creamery, he should bear in mind
that if he earnestly tries to cooperate
with his neighbor, his dairy herd will
always be able to transform his hay
into a finished product-butter-fo
which there is always a ready sale.
But cooperation between the farmers
is essential When they thoroughly
understand the importance of this
thing cooperation" they have made
a mighty step towards success.
