After making a few inquiries
Mr.. Brady found that he had been
sold a car which was the property
OF another man, and therefore was
short the amount of his deposit,
unless he could make his former
friend come through. He betook
himself to the county seat, and on
Wednesday enlisted the aid of
District Attorney Campbell, who
furnished him with a warrant for
the arrest of this Astounding
Once Agent at Yerington.
Thorgrimson was station agent
at Hudson in 1914 and later
moved to Mason where he resided
until the aforesaid episode hap
pened. For a time he was agent
at Yerington station and before

tatoes and alfalfa seed. 1t is his
opinion that there is splendid
opportunity of producing alfalfa
seed in quantities here this sea-
son, as there is an abundance Of
moisture and the ground is in ex-
cellent condition. A point in the
favor of the potato growers OF this
district is the fact that Nevada is
the best State in the Union for
Potatoes, and there are no sections
of the State that have an advan-
tage over Mason Valley.

there has been valuable ore used
from this dump in the past to re-
pair the county roads. Should
these trial shipments prove the
ore worth shipping, Mr.. Gelder
will have a very fine proposition,
as there are thousands of tons al
ready mined which could be han
died and shipped at very small
expense.

GARDEN NOTES

Asparagus cutting should be dis
continued during the latter part of
June. Begin to feed the plantation as
soon as cutting stops. Thoroughly
disc the ground and apply a mulch
of manure and nitrate of soda at the
rate of 200 pounds per acre or if the
field is not too old and the roots too
near the surface plow shallow double
burrows between the rows throwing
the soil over the crowns; then apply
a mulch in the burrows and cross har-
row. Poultry makes the best mulch.
Make successive paintings of sweet
corn, beans, beets, carrots and let
tuce during the month. Celery plants
should go into the field the latter part
Of this month or early in July. Watch
the cabbage plants for worms. Use
fresh white helleoore at the rate of
1 ounce to 3 gallons of water as a
spray when they appear. Apply bor-
deaux mixture to celery, cucumbers,
melons and potatoes at frequent inter
walls, at least every 10 days. For the
potato beetle on potatoes, egg plant
or tomatoes use arsenate of lead at
the rate of pounds to SO gallons of
water as spray and apply thorough
ly. The arsenate may be used with
bordeaux at the same rate as for clear
water. If troubled with squash vine
borer in squashes and pumpkins, ap-
ply tobacco dust literally at frequent
intervals close about the stems and
encourage the roofing of the vines
along the stems by drawing moist
soil up over them.

DENTISTS FOR PREPAREDNESS

The Preparedness League of Ameri-
can Dentists, with headquarters in
Buffalo, has opened a registration
bureau in the hope of enrolling TWEEN
ty thousand dentists who will each one
agree to prepare, free of charge, the
mouth of at least one applicant to
meet the requirements for enlistment
in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps,
and subject to such rules as shall pro-
tect them against imposition.
