BUllFROG LANDS
GREAT DEMAND
NOW SOUGHT BY CATTLE GROW
ERS AS MOST LIKELY
COUNTRY

In the palmy days of 1905-07,
when the Bullfrog country in the
southern end of Nye county vas the
scene of a rush hat compared favor
ably with the hosts of fortune seek
ers invading Tonopah and Goldfield
right after the discovery of their
mineral wealth.. none of the new ar
rivals gave a thought to the posi-
bility of that section ever attracting
attention through it's merits as a
stock-raising district.
Time has wrought wonderful
changes in the lower end of this
county. The prospector flourishes
with the hope hat some day he will
enter into his reward by a discovery
as valuable as ever shown in the an
nails of the Bullfrog and Rhyolite
newspapers when the art preservative
was represented by half a dozen live
newspapers devoted to sounding the
praises of the mineral wealth of the
district.
Nevertheless it is true hat the
feeding grounds of the southeast are
steadily expanding and reaching out
to the draws and valleys where there
are strong indications of an under
ground flow. The stockmen of the
southwest are coming in ever in
~creasing numbers. Their herds have
Tapped over the boundaries of Ari-
iona and the brands Of these COM
panies are seen as far north and
west as $50 miles this side of Las
Vegas. The lands that We're passed
worthy of notice are now finding
ready sale to the stock companies,
whose holdings are adding material
ly to the assessable wealth of Nye
county.
One company dominated by Den
yer capital is credited with the own
ership of a ranch 80 miles long by
16 miles wide. and the records show
that recently a ranch embracing
1900 acres passed into possession OF
this company, with over 1000 head
of cattle. Such development forms
an asset of considerable value, not
alone to the people of Nye county,
but to the public at large, which
will be convinced that these huge
transactions are not based on SEN
timental grounds. The time is fast
approaching when electric energy
will be available for this vast area

G.. l.. S. LOSES TO
FAST RENO TEAM
BOYS FROM TOWN ON TRUCKEE
SHOW TOO MUCH
SPEED

Reno high-school defeated Gold
field high-school by a score Of As
to 9 in the basketball game played
Saturday night at the gymnasium.
Despite the overwhelming defeat.
Goldfeld played the best game of
the season against as fast-passing
and notwithstanding an aggrega-
tion as was ever cen on the local
floor, the score being far from a fair
criterion of the caliber of game
played by the local boys. Goldfield
made four goals and scored one
point from a foul.
The game was an unusually clean
and fast exhibition, there being but
two fouls, one by Goldfield and one
by Reno.
In the preliminary games the
eighth grade of the Sundog school
defeated the high-school freshmen
and the freshmen defeated the sew
enth grade of the Sundog school.

SATISFY In FAMILY. GARDENS.
Rapidly Becoming one Of Most Popu-
lar Root Crops-FairIy Rich
Loan Soils Are Best.

Satisfy is rapidly becoming one of
the most popular root crops grown in
the home garden. Its high food value,
it's ready response to cultural methods,
and the ease with which the crop may
be stored for winter and spring use
class satisfy among the leading gar
den vegetables.
Well prepared, fairly rich loan
soils are most favorable to the growth
of the crop. While clay soils will pro-
duce a fair yield, the roots will be
more branched and of poorer quail
ity. Seeds are planted in rows Is to
"a inches apart, with 10 to 10 seeds
per foot of row, as soon as the soil
can be worked nicely. Depth of plant
ing ranges from three-quarters to one
and one-quarter inches. Cultivation
throughout the summer is similar to
that of carrots and other root crops.
Of the several varieties of satisfy
offered for sale by seed firms, Nam
moth Sandwich Island is doubtless the
best. When well grown, roots of this
variety are long, straight, smooth and
one and one-half to two inches in dia-
meter at the top.
The crop, which natures about Oc-
tober 1, may be used from the garden
during fall and winter. Many garden
ers, however, are finding it an advan-
tage to lift and store the crop in the
cellar in order that it may be had for
use at times when the ground is
frozen. For storing, roots are placed
in box or piled in heap on the floor
of a cool cellar room and covered with
fairly dry soil or sand.
The midland journal., 1917-06-22
SWEETENING FOR ACID SOILS
Ground Limestone Is Usually Cheapest
and Most atisfactory-Sereen-
inqs Can Be Used.

To sweeten an acid SOIL sufficient
amount of finely ground limestone or
slaked lime must be scattered evenly
over the plowed ground and worked
into the top soil. Ground limestone
is usually the cheapest and most salts
factory in general, though it takes eff
feet more slowly than quicklime,
slaked lime or hydrated lime, and
larger quantity must be applied to get
the same results. The screenings from
an ordinary rock crusher can be used.
Coarser material has little immediate
effect on the soil, but if much larger
quantity of the coarse material is used
it will keep the soil sweet for longer
time. Screenings can be obtained at
from 25 cents to 81 a ton. In some
cases where hauling from the railroad
is expensive and where limestone is ac-
cessible, small grinders can be used to
grind the limestone on the farm.
The midland journal., 1917-06-22

plants are especially desirable and
they may be brought to the blooming
period by the time it is warm enough
to plant them with safety in the gar
den. If the plants are not to be
trained, but allowed to lie on the
ground, they should be set about four
feet apart each way. If trimmed and
tied to stakes they may be planted in
rows three feet apart and Is inches
apart in the row.
Eggplant is started and handled in
the same way as the tomato. 1t is,
perhaps, less widely known, but is
rapidly becoming a popular vegetable.
The soil best adapted for it's produc-
tion is q fine, rich sandy loan, well
drained. The plants should be set in
rows three feet apart, and two feet
apart in the row. Free cultivation is
desirable and the plants should be
kept growing rapidly. On the other
hand, many growers believe that
fresh stable manure should not be
used for eggplants, and that the land
should not contain unfermented veg
etable matter to any large extent. A
dozen good, healthy plants should sup
ply enough for the average-sized fam
lily throughout the season.

BEST OF VEGETABLES
Corn, Tomatoes and Eggplant Are
Favored for Table.
Successive Paintings of Sweet Corn
May Be Made-Tomato and Egg
plant Are Started and Handled
in About Same Way.

Three of the most popular vegetables
for the family table are sweet corn,
tomatoes and eggplant.
Sweet corn, to be at its best, should
be eaten within a few hours after it is
picked, for its sugar content disap-
pears very rapidly after it is removed
from the garden. For this reason and
because of its very general popularity,
it is an excellent vegetable to grow
in the home garden. It should be
planted on rich land and cultivated
in the same manner as field corn. Be
ginning as soon as the soil is warm,
successive paintings may be made
every two or three weeks until late
summer. Another method of pro-
longing the supply is to plant early,
medium and late varieties.
Another favorite vegetable is the
tomato, which now forms one of the
most important of our garden crops.
In the North, it is very desirable to
start the plants in a house or a hot
bed, and to transplant them once or
twice in order to secure strong and
vigorous plants by the time all dan
ger from frost is past. Pot-grown
