DISCUSS METHODS
IN USE OF RANGE

The meeting of stockmen and farm
ers. under the direction of the extern
sion division of the University of Ne
vada and the United States Forest
Service, was convened at 1870 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon in the sample
room of the Ell Dorado hotel. A large
number of prominent stockraisers
and farmers from different sections of
the county were in attendance The
program was made up of lectures and
discussions on the livestock industry
and methods of improving range con-
ditions.
c. E. Favre, supervisor of the Hum
boldt forest opened the meeting with
a few appropriate remarks. He spoke
of the range conditions on the Fed
eral forest reserves, and told how a
meat industry might be created by
increasing the forage on the public
range and better management of it.
Prof. c. E. Fleming, in charge of
poisonous plant investigation, Univer-
sity of Nevada, exhibited specimens of
sible for livestock poisoning; told how
to recognize each, and at what season
of the year the danger is greatest.
Some of these plants are poisonous
only to sheep, others only to cattle,
and others are poisonous to both The
most dangerous are death camas, lark
spur, lupine, loco weed, water hem
lock and the tetrademia species If
rabbit brush Methods of eradication
were discussed.
c. A. Norcross, director of agricul-
tural extension, declared that with
proper soil and conditions, and where
the precipitation is ten inches or more,
it is practicable to grow successfully
sweet clover, Sudan grass and certain
other draught-resistant forage crops.
That most stockmen have lands of
this character and their reclamation
with forage crops grown by dry-farm
methods is not only feasible, but the
development of the livestock industry
is more or less conditioned on such
fora of reclamation.
The last speaker at the afternoon
session was P. J. Beecroft, grazing ex-
aminer of the Forest Service. His
lecture was illustrated with lantern
slides showing the results of over
grazing and improper herding meth
ods in depicting range forage. He
condemned close herding, driving the
sheep daily to water and watering and
shading at the same place, as destruc-
tive of range forage.
Mr.. Fevre, supervisor of the Hum
boldt national forest, supplemented
Mr.. Beecroft's statements by showing
the effects of good and bad range
practice in this State.
At the evening session Ernest Wink
Ter. inspector of grazing of district
No. 4, continued the presentation of
range management and methods of
revegetation. A general discussion
followed, participated in by all stock
men present
The meeting was so successful that
it was decided to make these stock
mems conferences an annual event.
A meeting will be held in Elko to-
morrow (January 800, convening at
1870 pm. and 1880 pm.

WAR WORK DRIVE
NOT To STOP FOR
PEACE TALKING

The peace talk will not have the
effect to cause a letting up of the ac-
tivities off those responsible for the
big drive for funds with which TO FL
nance the war needs. of the seven or
CARNATIONS merged in the united war
work campaign DR.. John r. Mott,
director general of the United War
work campaign, in a recent telegram
to all state directors. said
"Our whole national organization is
united in the conviction that the war
work activities of the seven organiza-
tons interested viz: The Y. NJ. c. A.,
the National Catholic War council, the
Salvation Army. the Y. w. G, A.. the
Jewish Welfare board, the American
Library association and the War
Camp Community service, must con-
tinue to be pressed with full and in
creasng vigor for the reason that
when peace comes it will be followed
by long period of rehabilitation.
''All military authorities with
whom I have consulted insist that it
will require over twelve months after
a declaration of peace to bring home
the Americans, This rehabilitation
period will present the greatest need
for our work and by far our greatest
opportunity. Therefore. there should
be no hesitation on our part or
change in any of our campaign plans
except to enlarge them and redouble
our efforts to procure if possible a so
per cent increase in the amount orig
inally planed to be raised"
Those who remember the sad days
which followed the rehabilitation of
the comparatively small number of
Americans who had participated in
the driving of Spanish soldiers from
the soil of Cuba. when men died like
sheep at Montauk Point and other
ports of debarkation. will realize the
need for funds. after the declaration
of peace in the present war. as set
forth by DR.. Mott in his telegram.
At the close of the Spanish Amer
lean war there were no organizations,
as at present. to look after the re-
turning soldiers with a view toward
preserving their morale. Crowded in
to reception camps with nothing to do,
not even drills. the reaction, from the
activities of the campaign caused the
returned soldiers to droop and die,
after having escaped Spanish bullets,

the insidious perils of embalmed beef

LOCAL DUCK HUNTERS
FEEL JUBILANT OVER
HEAVY RAINS SUNDAY

Local duck hunters are rejoicing
over the big rain that has fallen in the
last twenty-four hours and report that
this rain will cause an early influx
of the ducks seldom seen in this part
of the state.
While ducks are plentiful in the
lakes and private preserves near here,
it is to be hoped that the hunters will
show true craftsmanship and not al
low themselves to go wild and shoot
at ever ybird that comes in sight.
This causes many wounded birds to
later die. Also it tends to scare them
causing them to go to other feeding
grounds.
This subject has been mentioned
before in the press and it is hoped that
it will have the desired effect on the
hunters in and around this city.
