LOCAL CORN PATCHES
INDICATE SOILS CAPACITY

An early mornings stroll illustrates
the fertility and growing capacity Of
the many uncultivated arid acres sur-
rounding Winnemueca. IT also gives a
pointer as to what a little thrift and
application will do when even done
outside of banking and business hours.
This has reference to two garden
patches in upper Winnemucca. These
truly show the great agricultural ca
pacity of the soil in and around Win
nemucca. 1t Is also evidence that our
climatic conditions are suited to the
growth of the things we eat and need
for our everyday necessity. These
references are pertinent to a wealth
condition that is noticeable to the OBJ
servant man and which by proper pre-
sentation can be made of great useful
ness and an incentive for self-support-
ing home-seekers
The foregoing is prompted bv those
maize or Indian corn patches, the one
nurtured by G. L. Tobin, assistant
cashier of the First National bank and
the other by c. t. Smith who was
reared amid the corn fields of Ne
braska. The one a banker and the
other trained vegetarian and know
ing all about how to make corn thrive
and grow and assure a crop. These
corn patches were planted at the same
time. Both show growth and promise
results, but the notable thing, notwith-
standing that Smith knows all about
corn raising, is the fact that Tobin =
patch outclasses and is outgrowing the
Smith corn.
The reason is that Tobin made his
preparations for corn growing with the
adaptability of the shrewd banker.

applied the methods of the Nebraska
farmer, and while he is getting returns

ture, even in the Tobin corn patch. IA

With it all, these vegetable gardens
with their display of the delicate table
plants and Indian corn patches, are a
splendid object lesson and urge all to
get busy and acquire and cultivate
these fertile acres in this valley and
gain competence and comfort bv

is said to have bitten dog, which
made its escape when an attempt was
made to shoot it.
At an early hour yesterday morning
Superintendent Wilkinson killed a
young coyote in the hospital grounds.
The carcass was Immediately buried,
and there is no way now of determin-
ing whether or not the animal was af-
feeted with rabies. There was nothing
to indicate that il was, further than
the fact that il was so near town, but
this is hardly an unusual occurrence
One morning the latter part of last
week a rabid cooyte was killed on the
Sanders ranch, near Golconda. The ami
NAL came up to the house in the morn
ing and attacked dog, which it bit.
ht Mr.. Sanders went to the rescue of
his dog, the coyote turned on him and
chased him into the house. There ne
secured gun and killed the mad brute.
The dog was shut up.

The monument dedicated to the

mercantile shipping not only to seek
protection under neutral flags and
distinguishing marks, but also while
thus disguised to attack German sub
marines by ramming.
Finally. the imperial government
must point out particularly that the
Lusitania, on its last trip as on
earlier occasions, carried Canadian
troops and war material. including no
less than 5.400 cases of ammunition.
Internal Explosion on Liner.
There can be no doubt, according
to the definite report of the subma-
rines commander, which is further
confirmed by all other information,
that the quick sinking of the Lusi-
tania is principally attributable to the
explosion of the ammunition ship
ment caused by the torpedo. The Lu-
sitania's passengers would otherwise
in all human probability have been
saved.
THE imperial government, while
withholding its final decision on the
demands advanced in connection with
the sinking of the Lusitania until re.
ceipt of an answer from the American
government, feels impelled in conclu-
sion to recall here and now, that il
took cognizance with satisfaction of
the mediatory proposals submitted
