RESERVOIR SITE

Project Manager d. w. Cole re-
turned Wednesday from Minden and
the upper Carson project and a force
of engineers are making tests for the
Long Valley dam. They struck rock
within a few feet and from present
indication a good foundation for a
dam can be found
While at Minden Mr.. Cole was in
formed that Congressman Roberts
had announced that the Congress
sional Appropriation Committee was
also to visit the upper Carson project
and that the schedule had been chang

them very much time here. They are

and after seeing the dam may be tax
en over the valley and possibly have
a meeting in Fallon before leaving,
where it would seem advisable to have
one or two good speakers to present
the needs and advantage of this pro-
ject.
From present Indications however
the schedule may be changed several
times before the appropriation COM
mittee gets here Still. their visit
may be of vast importance to the
Trnckee-Carson project, or on the
other hand. If we neglect to properly
bring the requirements and resources
of the project to their attention in the

MYTH VALLEY farmers are

0hlTH VALLEY farmers are
~ looking forward to one of the
most prosperous seasons in the
history of that section. Just enough
late storms have visited that district
TO give the crops a good start and the
elowdy weather is holding back the
snow in the hills which insures suf-
fient water for irrigation of crops
later in the season or at time when
il will be needed.
One OF the serious drawbacks OF
Smith Valley has been the insufficient
water supply and in many instances
crops are grown entirely through
water from artesian wells that section
being favored with bountiful under
Ground supply OF water. However,
at its best. this is not an altogether
satisfactory maner of crop product
ion since the acreage must neceessar-
lly be small. In the past few years
many new settlers have located in
Smith Valley and land that was then
a barren waste are today producing
crops. Artesian wells have aided in
this work together with the regular
supply OF water from the Walker river.
New encouragement has been given
TO the Smith Valley people recently
by the visit OF j. {. stephens of the
government reclamation service. The
Walker river basin and watershed
presnts feasible irrigation scheme of
great magnitude and in Smith Valley
alone approximately $4,000 acres of
land coul dbe reclaimed. In 1902
and again in 1905 the United States
Reclamation Service made extensive
surveys in the basin, which failed to
develop into a project because, among
other things, the landowners would
not consent to the subdivision required
by law. Hence the scheme lapsed in
TO nothingness. Ii is claimed. how
ever. that the stimulus behind Mr..
Stevens recently concluded field work

Do You Want to Stay Poor

Get out of your head the idea that Poverty is
something you cannot help Just as long as you
stick to that theory, Just so long poverty is going
to stick to you People in most cases are poor be-
cause they are to indolent-too careless-too
thoughtless. Sit down and figure what you are
spendng-and what you do without. Not
the things that cost dollars-but the articles that
cost pennies. How many pennies do you waste
a week? You will then get some idea of why
people stay poor all their lives. Fifty years of
waste will turn even millionaire into a papuer-
while so years of economy will make poor man
rich.

HORSE IN DEMAND IN SOUTH
Diversification Creates Market for
Mares to Breed to Jacks for
Plantation Motive Power.

While the demand for horses from
army buyers has not brought the
prices up to the expectations of many
owners, the horse grower should not
despair. There is a new market and
a permanent one opening up In this
country. It will not be dependent
upon the war-whims OF European ma
tions. The South is beginning to feel
the need of more farm power. The
one-mule-one-horse day OF agriculture
In that section Is passing, says Farm
Progress. The South as cotton grow
ing area might get along with the
one-horse system, but new South
taking up diversified farming wants
more power and this means a demand
for more mules and more horses. The
southern states are going to be big
buyers of mares in the next few years.
They will want the mares to breed to
jacks to furnish plantation motive
power and these buyers are going to
want mares in large numbers.
Come war or peace, the horse de-
mand is going to be steady and strong
for long time. The South Is not go
ing to change over from the one-mule
system to the tractor. The tractor
will follow the big teams and these

ever, that the car should be loaded
without delay in order to avoid demur-

not be loaded into the same car unless
it is absolutely necessary. Mixed ship

to good advantage in the market

to dispose advantageously of the crop
by shipping it in bags to grain brokers
or feed dealers in nearby towns. When

BE KINDER TO YOURSELF
Women Are Often Victims Of Nervous
ness Because They Don't Know
How TO Relax.

One of the important things to know
in life. especially il you are woman,
is how to let yourself alone, writes
Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers
Magazine. The ability to relax, the
art OF being judiciously lazy, the tact
to let herself alone has saved many a
woman from nervous breakdown.
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such a state of conscien-
tiousness that she cannot rest. II she
lies down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts of the work that
she is neglecting.
Much of the blame for this state OF
affairs lies at the doors Of the moth
ers. The mistake is in their training
Of their children. especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear
Hest infancy to be kind to others. to
bear, with them, to forgive them, to
help them; but from birth to death no
,one ever tells them to be kind, also,
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more of nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make it. II
such women could learn to be kinder
to themselves there is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened;
and not only that, but the lives OF
those with whom they come in close
contact would be made far more pleas
ant.

HARVESTING IN SOUTH
Suggestions for Handling Crops
for Hay or Straw.
Best Results Obtained Where Wheat
or Oats Are Cut In milk" or
Very Soft Dough SAFEGUARD
Against Bad Weather.

prepared by United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Methods Of handling wheat and oats
vary widely in different localities In
the South the harvest Is in some ways
differently conducted than in the
North. There are, however, number
of operations which farmers almost
universally have found to their adyan-
tage. Where the neighborhood in
which wheat or oats are grown Is SO
far distant that threshing machines
are not readily available, farmers
have found it more feasible to cut the
wheat and oats either as hay or to tie
the crops into medium-sized bundles
to be fed as straw.
Provided the wheat or oats crop Is
intended for hay, best results are OBJ
tanned where the crops are cut in the
milk" or very soft dough stage. The
stalks will be mostly green. or just
beginning to show signs OF ripenlng
below. After cutting, the oats or
wheat should be cured, and handled
exactly as any other common grass
HAYS. If conditions are favorable. the
hay will have bright green color, but
If cutting is delayed until the grain Is
in the full dough stage, the hay Will
be dry, hard and bleached and the
feeding value diminished.
II It is intended to feed the grain in
the straw, the cutting should be put
off until the grain has reached the
hard dough stage and most OF the
stalks have taken on yellow color.
Under favorable weather conditions
the grain will cure sufficiently Tor
storage purposes In six or eight days
If nut up in carefully made round
shocks of nine bundles each, including
one CAP bundle. Near the coast, where
frequent rains are to be expected at
this season, grain should be put In
small shocks, containing only six
bundles. and left uncapped SO that 1t
will dry out quickly after rain. 1t Is
unnecessary to tear down and spread
these small shocks after rains, as It
sometimes is with larger ones. The
bundles, of course, should be shocked
Immediately in order to avoid the pos
sibility of loss from bad weather,
When the crop Ia grown not for
feeding purposes but for sale or for
seed the cutting should be postponed
still further until the grain has passed
the hard dough stage. II 1t Is permit
ted to become dead ripe, however. the
quality is not so good and the loss
from SCATTERING considerable. Where
the self-binder cannot be used the cut
ting may be done little earlier than
otherwise. The grain. shocked In the
manner already mentioned, should ba
left In the field until 1t is thoroughly
cured and then threshed without de-
Law. II no threshing machine Is avail
able at once, the grain should be
either stacked or stored In barn dur
lag the interval.
On small farms where storage space
20 not abundant 1t will probably pay
the farmer to sell the grain as soon as
Il il threshed. With the exercise Of q
little cooperation ne may arrange with
the neighbors TO make up sufficient
nuantity to ship out as carload. II
