VICTIMS HERE

1t is learned this week that several
ladies of Carson Valley are numbered
among those who were taken in by the
silk petticoat fraud thrt was niped
in the bud month or So ago by fed

From an eastern city thousands of
circular letters were sent out an
nouncing that silk petticoat would
be given for ten cents, provided the
party would send number of letters
to friends 1t was tempting to the
ladies and the governments seized let
ters containing in all about $1,000 in
dimes. This money is being returned
to the owners by the government as
fast as possible and it is estimated
that this work will cost the postal
department about 1000.

Experiments Made
In Irrigating Wheat

dough stages, the yield was about
20 per cent less than where only the
one irrigation at the five-leaf stage
was omitted. However, in all other
plants weber two irrigations We're
omitted, a very marked decrease in
yield WAS noted.
The lowest yields were both three
inch and seven-ineh applications
were given and where irrigations at
the boot and bloom stages were omit
ted, further indilated that one of the
most critical stages in the irrigation
of wehat was between the boot and
milk stages.
Results With Two Irrigations
Where only two irrigations we're
given the six-inch application before
heading and Pinch application after
heading produced the geratest yield of
y bushels per acre, or 27 per cent
less than the high yielding plant,
where one seven-inch irrigation was
omitted at the five-leaf stage The
nine-inch and 12-inch irrigations be-
fore heading provided more water
than thee rop utilized to the best adj
vantage, which is shown by de-
crease in yield of 80 per cent and 10
per cent respectively. Where only
two applications were given to the
crop, the yields were lower through
out than where a gerater number of
with the same total
of water were given, thus in
dicating that only in cases of water
shortage / sit advisable to use only
two applications in preference to
three or four applications, as shown
throughout in the results of this ex-
pertinent, where the yields of grain
are generally much higher. At the
same time, wehe only two irrigations
are possible, the yield of % bushels
per acre indicates very provtable
crop.
The results show decrease in yield
of 2.2 per cent with one irrigation at
the imlk stage omitted, and 15.2 per
cent with two irrigations at the five
leaf stage and milk stage omitted, in
favor of the u ree-inch applications.
The remainder tf the results. or SO

age increase in yiel, OF 2S7 per cent
"a maximum increase of SIG per
cent where one irrigation at the boot
stage was omitted. Thus. the indica-
tions are that whore irigations are
omitted at the five-leaf tages, boot
and milk stages, andh loor and milk
stages, the three-inch a lplications
are about as effective as twice this
amount in supplying the wa eer re-
quirements of the crop; and flrther-
more the omission ofn these ii riga
tions greatly decrease the Yield of
the geratest production in any Of sae
last four cases.
Experiments Five Years
These irrigation experiments with
wheat, alfalfa and potatoes have been
conducted for a period of three years
and will be continued for two more
years. The average results or the
five-year tests should be sufficiently I
conclusive to furnish valuable mora
tion to the proper irrigation OF these
crops to be of great value of the farm 4

By CHARLES :. KNIGHT
Dean OF the College of Agriculture at
the University Gf Nevada

the University 81 Nevada
The agronons department O. the
state agricultural experiment stasiI-
b.san a series OF i'vasi ieations in
1911 on the irrigation OF alfalfa, pota-
toes and wheat to determine the water
requirements of these crops under the
climatic conditions existing in Nevada.
Results With Irrigation OF Wheat
This experiment was conducted on
soil ranging from sandy loam to a
clay loom. Irrigations were made at
five different stages of growth as fol-
lows-iive leaf. boot forming head,
bloom, milk, and dough. The object
of this investigation was to determine
thee ritical stages in the irrigation OF
wheat and to show what stages of
growth the plants were best able to
be deprived of one or two applications
of water without causing serious in
jury to the crops; also to determine
the greatest production, the produc-
tion with small applications at the
different stages, and the relation of
two applications with three or mere.
using the same amolt of total water
m each case.
Results With One Irrigation Omitted
The highest yield in the experiment
was reported where the irrigation at
a iive-leaf stage was omitted. fhis
plant received four seven-inch appli-
cations or a total of 2S inches of
water. The next best yield was where
the irrigation at the dough stage was
omitted A difference of 20 per cent
was noted in these three high yielding
plants, each of which received four
seven-inch applications or total of
Is inches of water.
Where the seven-inch applications
was given at each stage of growth or
a total irrigation of 80 inches, the
yield was 81 per cent less than the
plant which received only rs inches
OF water with the irrigation omitted
at the fve-leaf stage. This was prob
ably due to the greater development of
root system where the irrigation was
omitted at the five-leaf stage.
Withhold First Irrigation
In the irrigation of wheat the first
irrigation should be withheld as long
as the plant is not suffering. This
causes the roots to follow the mois-
ture downward and outward in all
directions, thus when the plants are
drawing heaviest from the soil the
more extensive root system can fur
nish the plant with greater amount
of misture and liant food, and will
produce a heavier yield of grain per
acre.
With four seven-inch applications.
when only the irrigation at the milk
stage was omitted the yield was q
per cent less than where the irriga-
tion at the five-leaf stage was omit
ted; II per cent less then where the
irrigction at the boot stage was omit
ted, and G per cent less than where
the irrigation at the dough stage was
omitted; and per cent greater than
where the irrigation at the bloom
and milk stages were very critical
periods in the irrigation of the wheat
crop and the omission of applications
at these stages greatly decreased the
yield of grain.
