RECEIVES EDELWEISS
FROM SWITZERLAND

Last week j. A. Dettling received
a letter from his relatives living in
Switzerland. enclosed with which
was dozen of the rare little snow
plants known as Edelweiss. The lit
tie flower grows in the snow on the
Alp mountains and is eagerly sought
by tourists who visit that country.
The flower usually grows in remote
and almost inaccessible localities.
Every year yon can read in the daily
papers of some Alpine climber falling
to h isdeath over IA cliff while endeay-
oring to pluck one of these littlewhite
flowers. Mr.. Dettling prizes his
Edleweiss very highly. since as boy
in Switzerland he learned the perils
that are required to pick each flower.

MACHINES
START SEASONS RUN

The threshing season in Carson
Valley is on and one machine is now
in operation at the Dangberg ranches.
1t is expected that within a few days
three threshing outfits will be at
work in this Valley and will be kept
busy for a period lasting from forty
to sixty days. Wheatand barley are
the principle grain crops. although
considerable oats will be threshed
this season.
The big demand for Carson Valley
flour has resulted in a larger acre
age being planted to wheat and it Is
reported that the wheat crop this
year will he greater than ever before.
In view of the European crisis, this
crop will bring good prices to the
formers, since the United States is
sure to be called on to furnish several
European countries with large a
mounts of grain.
