In many agricultural districts
OF Nevada some type of cereal is
is being included in crop ro-
tation. When the crop is grown
to be sold directly to the market,
wheat is the cereal quite often
used. AT the Nevada Agricultural
Experiment Station some 40 va
rieties of wheat have been tested
during the past two years, and the
avrage yields have ranged from
2l.3 bushels to 53.25 bushels per
acre. The six varieties showing
the highest average yields of over
$50 bushls per acre are as follows,
ranked in the order named: White
Club, Utah; Chul, Utah; Colora-
do No. so, Wyoming; Marquis,
Montana; New leland, Colorado
and Washington Blue Stem,
Washington.
During the next two or three
years these high yielding varieties
Twill be tested under. field condi-
tons in plats of one-tenth acre
or larger, at the Experiment Sta
ton and in other localities of the
State, to determine the most suit
able variety for the different dis
tricts.
OF the varieties mentioned
above the Blue Stem variety is
probably the best suited to Neva-
da conditions for the manufac-
ture of flour. The Marquis va
riety showed special adaptability
to maintain it's hard f1inty char
acteristics for the first two years
it was grown in Nevada under ir-
jrigation. The seed from the third
years crop, however contained
large percentage of yellow ber-
ries and the gluten content and
quality proved to be- very low
This is true of all hard spring
wheats tested under irrigation in
Nevada, that after being grown
| for a few years under irrigation,
they lose their fiinty character
and produce soft berries that are
not desirable from the millers'
standpoint. Farmers throughout
the State who wish to give one or
two of these high producing va
r;et;es Of wheat a thorough trial
in their districts may secure seed

sity of Nevada.-KNIGHT.

GOOD SHOWING
OF ANTIM0NY

Dave Palmer was in town yes
terday from the northern part OF
the county where he is driving
stage at the present time on the
road to DEMO. He stated that they
were having all kinds of trouble
getting the mail to its destina-
ton. From the time winter set
in they have used sleds, automo-
biles, and at present are doing the
work with horses and wagons. On
account of the deep mud on the
flats, it is impossible to use auto
mobiles, so they are compelled to
use the old fashioned stages. How
ever, Mr.. Palmer said the roads
were drying up fast, and he looks
for better conditions soon
Mr.. Palmer is interested with
James Wood in an antimony
property on Pass Greek, and
states that the estate is showing
good as development work pro-
crosses. Mr.. Wood attends to the
mining operations and Mr.. Pal
mer saws that they have good
body Of antimony ore in sight in
the workings and they have a
large tonnage on the dumps ready
to be hauled out as soon as the
snow goes away sufficiently SC
that teams can get TIP and down

FOR
PREPAREDNESS

That the American engineer will
be called upon in case of war to
fiji post of supreme Importance
and that he should prepare him
self by study OF military tactics
was the message which General
Leonard Wood synt to the coun-
try's mining engineers in session
here Monday night. The occasion
was the opening of the ll2th
meeting of the American Institute
of Mining Engineers, comprising
some $500 members. General
Woods message was presented
by Captain 7. M. Robins and the
engineers responded to the plea
for their own military prepared
ness with tremendous enthusiasm.
1t was pointed out that the
United States at the present time
has but 2l2 engineer officers, most
of whom are engaged in purely
civil engineering work, and a
number of whom are too old to
understand the problems of ma
tional defense. Captain Robins
said: "To no group of engineers
do the military engineering prob
lens appeal more than to the min
ing engineers, who are accus-
toned to work under trying from
tier conditions and who are called
upon to execute a short notice and
in very great haste many difficult
engineering feats. In addition, the
mining engineers daily familiar
ity with explosive makes him n
valuable adjunct to the engineer
force of the army"
There was great display OF en-
thusiasm when General French
was quoted as calling attention to
"the splendid work of the Tunnel
ling Companies, officered largely
by mining engineers and manned
by professional miners. :
In the course of today's sessions
seventeen separate addresses were
delivered on technical subjects
The morning session dealt with
subject concerning petroleum and
with matters relating to coal and
coke and geology.
The engineers held gay re-
unions in the college clubs Mon
day night as the first OF the sew
eral elaborate entertainments
which have been planned. The
convention continued through
Thursday.
