THE STATE NEEDS LIVESTOCK


Carson City, Jan. 18.-Nevada
produced $S,680.550 worth of agri-
cultural crops; $11,026,20O of live
stock products, $3sO,550 poultry
products and $4,000 bee products
In 1914, according to the report Of
the Nevada bureau of industry, agri-
culture and irrigation, a total of
$20,263,30O. With the estimated
mineral production of $2S,800,000,
according to the geological survey.
the total agricultural, live stock
and mineral production of the state
for 1914 was $49.063,300.
The present cultivated lands COM
prise S41,500 acres. of which $780,
900 acres are classed as pasturage.
The average crop production per
acre Is 5000. The report declares
that Nevada farmers, considered
as a whole, get the lowest relative
per cent of production from the pos
sibilities of the soil of the farmers
of any state in the union, with the
possible exception of some southern
states"
The most interesting part of the
report relates to a discussion of the
forage crop situation and the live
stock shortage. The total produc-
tion of forage crops the past year
is estimated at 1,01S,1O0 tons, ex-
elusive of wild pasturage, and on
which the farmers of the state lost
$2,000,000 In profits as compared
with the profits of preceding years.
due to fall in price of hay of about
$3.50 per ton, or from an average
of about 81 per ton for the 10 years
ending with 1912 to less than $3.50
per ton for 1914.
The prosperity of the state is at
a standstiil-not SO much evidenc-
ing any distress as in the absence OF
industrial development and expan-
sion. The bureaus diagnosis of the
trouble is: THAT the state Is short
100000 hogs; is short $4,000 high
producing dairy cows; is short 15O,-
900 sheep raised on it's farms and
owned by its farmers"

County Commissioners Met Friday.

The county commissioners met
Friday and approved several bonds
having to do with contracts recently
entered into by them on behalf of
the county as follows: G. B. Nc
Farlin, as county telephone mana
ger. $4,000. J. ]. Wall, as janitor
of county buildings. $1,000, and
Black & Kaiser who were awarded
the INDECENT burial contract, $500.
A claim was allowed against the
general county fund in favor of the
Truckee-Carson fair association In
the sum of $500.
The proper officials were instruct
ed to file claim agaist Elko county
approximating $125.0O for this
county's share of the tax upon the
following sheep: 1900 belonging
to e. l.. Williams: 1900 belonging
to w. A. Keddie and 1860 belonging
to Frank Hoy.
The next meeting of the board
will occur on Monday, February 1st.

Crop Reports q Bar to Speculation.
To prevent the circulation of false
reports for speculative purposes is
one OF the great objects of the gov
ernment crops estimates, according
to circular just issued by the de-
partment for the information of its
10000 volunteer crop reporters.
Without such a system it would be
practically impossible for anyone,
except at great expense, to form an
accurate estimate of crop prospects.
Farmers would suffer most from
such conditions because they are
neither SO well organized as other
lines of business nor in a position
ito take advantage of market huctu-
ations. Manufacturers and rail-
roads. however, are also vitality in
terested in obtaining a disinterest-
ed forecast of conditions In all parts
of the country in order that they
may avoid waste in the distribution
of articles and cars. 1.-THE earlier
the information regarding the prob
able production of the great agri-
cultural commodities can be pub
lished," says the circular, "the
more safely and economically can
the business of the country be man
aged from year to year"

The Coming Day,

A day will come when the only
battlefield will be the market open
to commerce and the mind opening
to new ideas. A day will come when
bullets and bombshells will be re-
placed by voters, by the universal
suffrage of nations, by the venerable
arbitration of great sovereign SEN
ate, which will be to Europe what
the Parliment Is to England, what
the Diet is to Germany, what the
legislative assembly Is to France. A
day will come when a cannon will be
exhibited in public museums, Just
as an instrument of torture is now
and people will be astonished how
such thing could have been. A
day will come when these two i'm
mense groups. the United States Of
America and the United States Of
Europe shall be seen placed in
presence of each other, extending
the the hand of fellowship across
the ocean. an.--Victor Hugo.

INTERESTING PROJECT NOTES
Interesting Items Concerning Local
Project Development and Future
Policies.

A party composed Of Project En-
gineer and Mrs. d. w. Cole, r. X.

hontan and d. w. Murphy. the gov
ernment's drainage expert In charge
Of all project drainage here and else
where, crossed the Lahontan dam
Sunday In an auto, the first vehicle
to make the trip across the top Of
the great impounding structure,
which 10 now complete save for the
construction of a foot bridge from
its crest to the great tower. which
rises from the upper base of the
dam and is of sufficient height to
command the artificial lake when
at It's maximum depth.
The forces of the dam were re-
duced last week down to about 40
men, which number will remain
there several months doing odd
Jobs. These include the building of
q bridge across the canal for the
Fallon-Dayton highway and the con-
struction of about a mile of gravel
roadway across the dyke on the
bench to the south of Lahontan.
In addition to this force the Ne
vada Valleys Power Co. has about
20 men at work installing the third
unit to the hydro-electric power
plant at Lahonta under Superintend-
ent Joe Beane. This work has been
In progress for several weeks.
Plans are now being worked out
for the throwing open of many ad-
ditionai farm units within this pro-
ject at an early date, probably a
couple of months hence. The lands
to be thrown open lie to the east
and northeast of Fallon and COM
prise some of the choicest tracts In
the project. The present farm unit
plats are being amended with a
Wow to Withdrawing number OF
tracts In private ownership that
were hitherto erroneously thrown
open, while large area Is to be
given over to bona fide homebuild-
ing.
II is understood also that the gov
ernment authorities at Washington
are TO make extraordinary endeavors
to induce settlement in this project.
II, as has been stated. there is actu-
ally five or six thousand prospective
settlers living at distant points who
are really casting their eyes Ne
vadaward. there remains much for
the exploiting officials of the recla-
nation department to do. The
land opening staged last fall was
more or less farcial, more rather
than less. for the very good reason
that II was not amply prepared for.
Land openings featured by drawings
will never be successful on reclama-
tion projects. nor In fact anywhere
else. for the governments bunco
lottery games have long since dis
gusted the public. II a private indi-
viduai would attempt such drawings
he would be prosecuted by the gov
ernment, which the meanwhile has
apparently reserved the right to In
discriminately DO the same thing.
II yet remains for the govern
ment to adopt intelligent methods
whereby settlement Of its irrigation
projects will be bona fidely induced.

Cause of Poor Butter.

One of the most common causes
OF poor-quality butter is the lack of
Immediate. thorough cooling of the
cream after separation. The Dairy
Division OF the Department has made
a careful investigation OF conditions
on large number of dairy farms.
and the data obtained show that. II
properly cooled. cream of the best
grade can be produced with but lit
tie extra labor or expense. The
principles involved are very simple
and are easily understood
A liberal use OF ice which has
been stored In winter to be used the
following summer Is one of the re-
Suirements for the solution of the
poor-butter problem. Farmers who
are already successfully delivering
good products to the creamery have
usually provided for themselves a
convenient source of supply for the
Ice, suitable houses for storing the
Ice, and ice-water tanks for the i'm
mediate cooling of the milk and
cream. In parts of New England,
although the dairymen often hold
cream on the farm four days In the
summer and seven day In the
winter, they deliver practically all
their products while sweet. After
II reaches the creamery 1t is pas
teuriEed and shipped a distance of
from so to 400 miles. and may still
be sold In these remote localities in
the form OF sweet cream.

For q New High School Building.

A movement Is quietly under way
in Fallon and other parts of the
county for the perfection of plans
that would end In the county high
school now used being placed In the
discard and another and more mod
ern building erected on a plot Of
ground that would comprise 1T
least 90 acres and preferably 40
acres, where in addition to the pres
ent curriculum agricultural, manual
training and domestic sciences
could be taught effectively. The
present high school board Is spon-
soring the scheme, which 1t is stat
ed. will materialize In actual per-
formance In another two years. 1t
must be admitted THAI the county
high chool building is not every
thing 1t should be to rightly serve
the purpose demanded by local con-
ditions. The ground generously do
mated by City Councilman John
Oats is complained of as being too
small for present and future needs.
though 1t was ample at the outset.
In short 1t Is claimed the school
building and Its grounds have out
grown their usefulness.
But incumbent upon whatever
change might be contemplated
would be dismantlement of the
present structure, which process is
always attended by loss. for its val
ue would be negligible for any pur-
pose save that for which 1t is now
used. In other words the county's
investment of upwards OF SIS, 700
would he practically n total loss
whenever a new school plant is
sought.
But Nevada conditions make 1t
imperative that each county should
have the best In an educational line
that its taxpayers can afford. The
disparity between the common
schools and the universities must
be bridged efectually and the need
is nowhere greater than in this
state where magnificent distances
separate communities and each Is
compelled to stand or fall upon its
own merits because Of this fact.

Applicable to Every Community

There seems to be a general feel
ing that the long established Gus
tom of long credits in this country
should be done away with. This,
we belive. is good move, both for
buyer and seller. For years those
who paid their bills promptly also
paid for the losses sustained on ac-
count of those who failed to pay at
all. That is a business principle ad-
hered to by all. BY selling for cash,
or 80 days time. prices can be re-
duced. the customer can obtain
more for his money, and the dealer
can turn his money over in the busi-
mess oftener thus, making a gain for
all concerned.-Cedarville Record

Cause of the War Tax.

Upon reading the commerce re-
ports issued by the United States
government. the reader will observe
that for the week ending Dec. 26,
1914, the imports from the countries
at war. to the United States to the
following customs districts: Georg-
la, Massachusetts,, New York, Phila-
delphia, Maryland, Virginia. New
Orleans. Galveston, San Francisco,
Seattle, Buffalo, Chicago and De-
troit were: Imports. $1s,259,922.
The exports for the same period
we're s3S.557,729, and the revenue
derived during the same period In
duties collected amounted to $2,-
1884.
The foregoing Is food for thought
and reflects the condition that will
eventually confront the world.
Here we have the import and ex-
port figures for one short week,
during this bloody war. Already
the world is called upon to come to
the rescue and send relief to the
suffering nation of Belgium, where
six millions of human beings are
suffering for the common necessaries
Of life.
In the face of all these condi-
tions, the lingo Republican press
would have II that all these condi-
tions were brought about by q DEM
ocratic tariff. Before this cruel
European war is over the good
people of these United States will
be called upon to contribute largely
of their productions to enable suf-
feripg humanity to exist.
And tariff will cut no ice.--

last night resulted in a gun battle in
which five men were wounded more
or less seriously. AT first it was
thought that two would die, but re.

held him up; WIN Perry. negro porter
at the place, and an unidentified man.
1t was 'smooth" scheme OF the
three bandits and would have been
carried out perhaps but for the large
crowd in the place. The three par

their eyes and drew their guns at the
same time. When the command TO
''stick 'em up was given, each man
