RABBITS DESTROY WHEAT CROP
Metropolis Dry Farm Country in Elko
County Suffers from Pests

Nearly rs per cent of the wheat
crop in the Metropolis dry farm dis
trict in Elko County has been de-
stroyed during the past ten days by
rabbits and squirrels according to a
delegation of men from the district
who arrived in Reno recently to Sc
cure the services of the biological
survey in coping with the pests.
The wheat crop in the district on
about 10000 acres was the greatest
in the history of the State according
to these men. Much of it would
yield thirty bushels to the acre.
The rabbits swarmed on to the
field and in ten days have eaten and
destroyed fully rs per cent of the
crops leaving only the wheat in the
center of the field still standing.
Horses and cattle have been turned
into many of the fields now to eat
what little of the crops there is left
and unless the State and biological
bureau come to the aid of the farmers
this Fall and poison the rabbits many
ranches will move away is the claim
of Mr.. Wiley and the others.
On the irrigated lan4s in the dis
trict the rabbits have not done so
much damage, but large part of
the crop on these lands has been de-
stroyed.

tax for 1917 is estimated at twenty
five thousand ($25, ,OOO) dollars.
The National Government. under
the Act of July 11th, 1916, will assist
the several States in the same amount
as the States and counties raise by
taxation up to certain limit, after
approval by the Department of Agri-
culture of the plans and routes adop-
ted by the various States.
The amounts raised by the several
counties for the State Highway Fund
will be expended wholly within those
counties. but solely for the purpose
of the State Highway and under the
direction of the State Highway De-
partment. The sum of $271, ,737. 10
raised by the several counties for the
General Road Fund has no connection
with the State Highway, and will be
administered solely by the county
authorities: but. under the terms of
the Highway Act, the services of the
State Highway Engineer are at the
disposal of the counties in the admin
istration of their highway funds if
they so elect.
The figures given in the table are
based on the estimated valuations
contained in the county budgets; the
final figures will be based on the ac-
tual amount of assessments as they
appear in the various county tax rolls.
The total results are not likely to be
greatly modified.

Carson City, Aug. 1.-THE follow
mo official statement regarding mon-
avs available for the department of
highways of this State was made pub

sion:
In response to inquiries and for
the information of the public. the
following estimate of expenditures
for highways in Nevada under the
1917 tax levy has been compiled by
the Nevada Tax Commission.
In the table the amounts levied for
the State Highway are segregated
from the amounts levied for the Gen.
eral Road and Bridges account.
As the proposed routes of the
State Highway do not cross any por-
ton of Storey, Clark or Lincoln Coun-
ties no tax is levied in those counties
for this road; bu!. as the State tax

Magazines to Soldiers

Postmaster Laura Hoegh states
that but little attention has been
paid to the request of the Govern
ment that literature and magazines
be sent to the boys at the front, and
that but few have arrived at the
postoffice.
To those who want to supply the
soldiers with literature. it is only nec-
essary to put one cent stamp on
the cover and take it to the postoffice.
The Government does the rest and
sees that they are properly distribu-
ted. If you have any old magazines
you can do the troop no better SER
vice than to comply with this little
request. The cost is a mere nothing.

Farmers Help Make Arkansas Tick-Free

On July 2nd a systematic dip ping of cattle was begun in P counties and it is expected that they will be released from quar- antine January lst. At that time the remaining counties should be ready for the final work neces . sary to make Arkansas tick free by December l, 1918. This is a tremendous task, but with the co operation of the farmers it can be done, in the opinion of pr. A. E. Wight, Chief Federal Inspect or. who, with pr. R. NJ. Cow. State Veterinarian with the Uni versity of Al kansas, has charge of the work in this state. Every | farmer in the tick territory should dip faithfully and consid- CT his part in the work a real in vestment since it will undoubted ly give quick and direct returns in the form of improved produc, tivity of his cattle, which, based on the experience of the eleven other Southern States that have done systematic work, can be conservatively estimated at $500 head for the first year the ter ritory is tick free. In these same states, native cattle once free from ticks have eventually in creased 1914 per cent or l , of their original weight. while the average milk produced from the native dairy cattle in these states has been 25 per cent or more. The cattle of both beef and dairy types have increased 26.9 per cent in value since the eradica tion of the tick. Arkansas farm CTS can expect similar results.
 Now is the time to lay a firm foundation for building up al more profitable cattle raising in dustry in Arkansas.
