SELLING
FOR $4,000
A TON

Flour took a jump last Friday and
Is now selling for $50 per ton at the
local mills. This advance abs been
expected for some time and is due
to the advance in wheat and flour all
over the United States With flour
selling at that price, potatoes bring
ing 81 or So per hundred, and offers
of 70 per ton for hay. the farmers
seem to be in fair way to realize good
profits. However, very few potatoes
are to be found on the ranches of
Carson Valley. Hay is scarce and
those who have surplus are not
easily tempted to part with their crop
even at s25 per ton.
Crops raised this season will nc
doubt demand a better price than
in years and farmers are preparing to
produce every pound of hay, gain
and potatoes possible The countr,
needs them; in fact Nevada needs
more foodstuffs and il is up to tho
farmers to take advantage of the pres
ent conditions and supply the de.
Dland. Potatoes and the like are be-
ing shipped in from other states, q
condition that is most deplorable
1t is predicted that high prices will
continue for some years to come and
the farmers are in line to enjoy the
greatest prosperity they have ever
known.

REPORT MADE
BY ENGINEERS

The engineers of the Redwood
Manufacturers company, who came
here to make a survey of the proposed
pine line, completed their work Mon
day and made verbal report to the
fire department Monday afternoon.
A more complete report will be filed
with the department within few
days. after which meeting will
probably be called to discuss the plan
and find out the wishes of the prop
erty owners.
The report given Monday calls for
a pipe line, starting from the dam
with II inch redwood pipe. reduced
to 10 inch then inch with inch
mains about town. The mains are TO
be buried to depth of four feet.
This line would deliver five times
the amount of water that would be
required for "A town of this size. de-
giving a pressure of "A pounds in
town II will require about fourteen
fire hydrants to properly protect
the town. These hydrants are to be
the regulation size, such are used In
large cities. The engineer stated
that with a pressure of "A pounds,
water could be thrown over any
building In town.
The cost of such a system would be
approximately $4,000 completely In
stalled, including hydrants and all,
which is s20,0o0 cheaper that the
price given by the representative of
the Nevada Engineering Works.
When the written report of the
Redwood Manufacturers company is
received, and few other details
worked out II Is understood that
mass meeting is To be held for the
purpose of putting the proposition up
10 them for their approval or re-
lection
A system for the present require
ments of the town can be installed
for considerable less figure than
that given above, However. as the
town is growing each year. enlarge
ment would be necessary before very
long and 1t IL deemed wise TO build
FOR future reguircments Then again,
a larger system Will give better fire
protection and since that is the pri-
mary purpose of the system. efficiency
Is not to be sacrificed
number of the farmers along the
rout of the proposed line, have signi-
fed their wishes of service. II Is al
so quite PROBABLE that a right of way
can be obtained through several fields,
provided the work is done at time
that will not interfere with growing
crops. saving 2.000 or more feet of
pipe and trenchine, and materially
decreasing the cost of installing
system that would he great protect
ion to the town.
Several farmers of this section have
started movement to comply with
the requirements OF the Federal Farm
bank act In order TO secure loans at
a lower rate of interest than is now
obtainable from private aources. The
federal banks make loans to half the
value of the property for J per cent
per annnm. These loans run for
twenty years and are retired at
certain pro ratio each year.

Are You Collecting "Adn,ission" Ia


From the Treasury District via the
collector of internal revenue for the
district Of New Hampshire, comes a
batch of publicity matter introduced
by the following:
The leading daily newspapers
in Maine are respectfully re-
quested to publish the following
reading notice without expense to
the government This notice will
save penalties and trouble for
those persons who it appears are
ignorant of the war revenue ad-
missions tax to dances, skating
Kinks, social entertainments, whist
parties, and any place where ad-
mission is charges"
In other words. the government can
not afford to put out the information
Cat public expense) but will penalize
those who do not know its laws If the
newspapers refuse to assume the bur-
den OF publicity. We would suggest
that those interested write the inter-
nal revenue collector at Portsmouth,
y. H.. for information.

fine point which probably would not
stand in case of need. In fact, Ger

other sign indicated that she recognizes

To Encourage Land Productivity

Three bills are now pending on the
legislative calendars Of Congress, ready
to be taken up promptly in the coming
session, that will prove Of interest to
settlers on the government reclama-
ton projects Of the West. One of the
more important Of the measures pro-
ridcs a means whereby the benefits Of
the Farm Loan Act can he extended to
reclamation projects. without impair
ing the security for the reimbursement
of the reclamation fund or interfering
with the governments present security
in contracts with water users associa-
tons. The secretary of the interior
recommends the bill as AN emergency
measure calculated greatly TO increase
the productivity of irrigation projects
in 1918 and subsequent years.
Another bill, which has received the
approval OF tho public lands committee,
and which passed the Senate at the
last Congress. permits the holder of a
IdIU unit uHutl IL IcCidUldtlOil PROJECT
If less than 100 acres to make entry
under the homestead laws of land out
side of the project sufficient to bring
his total holdings up to 100 acres.
Likewise a homesteader on a tract of
less than $50 acres outside Of a project
may take land within the projects to
the extent of $50 acres in all. This
measure is also intended as an in
centiye to further cultivation of the
public domain.
A third measure will insure the pro-
duction of food crops upon the ir-
rigable land within reclamation
project by providing owners of un-
cultivated lands therein with water up
TO December 81, 1920. upon payment Of
certain charges. The secretary of the
interior is also authorized to lease
lands Withdrawn under the reclamation
law, and cultivate them. Five million
dollars is appropriated to carry the act
into effect. to be reimbursed from the
sales Of the products of the newly cui-
tivated land.
