WELL IN HAND

f. r. Sans. i'll charge of the rabid
coyote situation in northern Nevada,
accompanied by S. z. Piper, of the
biological survey, returned yesterday
morning from Sacramento, says the
Silver State. where they attended a
conference with the California authori-
ties. an account of which is given be-
low.
The state is not quite ready TO be-
gin work yet" said Mr.. Sans this
morning, but we expect it will be by
April l. Al that time Mr.. Moody of
Reno, who was appointed 10 clerk
| ship in my office by the state rabies
commission, will arrive, and we will
| then get under full swing. Joseph
Keyes, who has been attending TO the
clerical work, will leave for Alturas,
to join in the squirrel campaign which
has been under way there for the past
two years"
| At the present time there are about
90 men engaged in the state in the
| work of eXterminating coyotes, 20 of
whom are in Humboldt county. This
number will be gradually increased 10
about $50. Appointments will be
made from names recommended by
county committees, which have been
selected by the state rabies commits
sion. The committee for Humboldt
county is composed of Albert Lay,
Jungo: J. p. Ellison, Rebel Creek
John G. Taylor, Commissioner w. Fl.
Cooper, Lovelock; F. J. Button, Win
nemucca.
The northern counties of the state
in which rabies is prevalent have been
divided into thirteen districts, each of
which will be under the supervision
of field foreman. Messrs. Sans and
Piper will go over the territory within
the next ten days and select these Of

appeared before DR.. Wilbur F. Sawyer
secretary of the California state board
of health Monday to perfect plans fol-
the Interstate fight against rabid coy

the Bee.
1t Is planned that the authorities oi
the one state aid the other wherever
possible to check the spread OF the dis
ease which is now costing the cattle
men of Nevada many thousands o
dollars. The disease Is under contro

How to Maintain Soil Fertility
Without Potash

Farmers are finding it practically I'M
possible to secure Potash, or any mixed
fertilizer in which Potash is found in any
reasonable quantities, because OF the war
in Germany. One of the cheapest and
best substitutes is made right here in Yer
mont; we refer to the Raw Ground Bone
put up by c. S. Page of Hyde Park.
This material is guaranteed to be abso-
lutely free from adulteration and when
used alone or in combination with chem
icals like Nitrate of Soda and Acid Phos-
phate, it has a record of giving splendid
results.
Send a postal to Mr. Page with the re-
quest therefor and he will send you free,
a formula for mixture which has been
approved by the Director of the Vermont
Experiment Station, as being very de-
sirable general purpose" mixture. He
will also give you the cost OF the ingredi-
ents, full directions for mixing, etc.

elected, will do what l can to secure as
prompt despatch of legislative business
as is consistent with thorough consider
alton and fairness to every interest.
believe that the tutute of Vermont
depends not so much upon high-sounding
phrases in party platform as upon the
selection of fair-minded men as legisla-
tors and State officers. | stand for
everything that can be done to assist
both the agricultural and manufacturing
interests of the State, for the greatest
economy consistent with efficiency in the
management of State institutions, Tor
the continuation of the Vermont good
roads policy, for equity in taxation, for
fair labor legislation, and for endeavor
to enforce more strictly the laws we have
rather than to enact large number OF
new ones.
While l am a Republican, the duties OF
the ieutenant-Governor are so largely
concerned with State matters that if l
receive the nomination l shall appeal for
support to men of all parties, and If
elected, l will try to perform the duties
of the office solely in the interest OF
Vermont. Ohm E. WEEKS.
