HOW TO TRANSFER BEES

The keeping of bees in box-hives or
log gums" is Improbable. The care
that bees need in order to gather a
fair crop of honey can be given only
if the beekeeper is able to examine
the bees and to move the combs as
needed.
Probably one-third OF all the bees
in the United States are in hives with
out movable combs, and to assist the
owners of such colonies to get them
in proper hives the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture has prepared
Farmers Bulletin COL, transferring
Bees to Modern Hives" Various
methods are given, some one of which
will be possible to any beekeeper, so
that there is no reason for delay in
making the bees productive.
Unless the bees are properly man
aged after transfer there is little adj
vantage in movable frame hives. This
requires a study of beekeeping as well
as promptness and care Directions
for handling bees, are given in other
publications of the Department.

5000 ACRES OF LAND IN
SMITH VALLEY SUBD|v|DED
Sar0ni and Jew Ranch in District

The people of Smith Valley are
looking forward to an agricultur al
boom next summer which will be
brought about by the subdivision in
to small farms of the Saroni holdings,
and what was formerly known as the
Jew ranch. To provide water for the
5000 acre tract of cultivated land,
a canal some six miles in length has
been constructed and is practically
completed at this time. The canal is
fourteen feet wide on the bottom and
twenty feet wide at the top and aver
ages about eight feet in depth. 1t
will carry water from the West Fork
of the Walker River from a point in
the Hoye Canyon and follows around
the hill west of Wellington.
It'i is understood that the Saroni
company has taken lease on the
Reading Saloon building at yelling
ton and in the spring will open real
estate Office in thai place. The COM
pany,it is said, intenas 10 make an
attractive offer to settlers, especially
to those looking for small farms. The
term payment plan will no doubt be
one of the features since the Saroni
company has ample capital to carry
the settlers over period of years,
which is necessary to those who under

most of all.
Many well known names are on the
lists of canteen workers, for Ameri-
can women were quick to seize the op-
portunity for service. The poorest
soldier on his leave may be served by
an American woman whose hospitality
was formerly dealt out by her maids
and butlers-and whose guest lists in
cluded only the most fashionable
names in the social register. Now 1t
Is she who hands over the pie with
her own hands and then gathers up
the dishes-yes, and oftentimes washes
them when help is scarce, for they
have to be washed and made ready
for the next lot Of soldiers--and one
cannot disappoint the boys who are
never too tired to respond to the call
of duty.
Another part Of the canteen service
Is the store" There the soldiers are
supplied with their needs, where
things they have lost in the heat OF
battle are replaced, tooth paste hand
ed out. razor blades, towels, tooth
brushes, all sorts of things, not forget
ting the post cards to send home and
the ever wanted packages of cigar
cites.
Taking it all in all, the canteen does
far more than fill the stomachs OF the
men-it puts something worth while
into their hearts.

is the best to be found in Nevada, pro-
ducing great crops, especially alfalfa

possibilities from a farming stand

Besides the Saroni holdings, many
homestead entries have been made on

MUST RESUME
HIGHWAY WORK
WITHOUT DELAY
COOPERATIVE ROAD WORK
SHOULD BE PUSHED AND
EXTENDED

Cooperative highway construction
under the Federal aid road act must
be resumed as quickly as possible in
full measure, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, d. F. Houston, stated at a
conference of editors OF agricultural
journals held recently in Washington.
From unexpected balances of Fed
eral appropriations for the last few
years, from State funds beyond what
was necessary to meet the Federal
allotments and from amounts avail
able during the current lscal year, APP
proximately S75,000,000 will be avail
able for expenditure during the calen-
dar year. Next year, if all the bal
ances should be expended during this
year, and we should have to rely sole
ly on the funds accruing next year,
there will be about S20,000000 from
Federal appropriations, and probably
more than this amount from state
sources, according to the Secretary
statement. The States, in addition,
will expend sums in excess of what
they have assigned, or will assign, for
Federal road projects.
1T seems to me-" said the Secre-
tary, that we should take further
step take this step not only because
Of the importance of good roads, but
ALDO because of the desirability OF fur
nishing worthy projects on which I'M
employed labor during the period OF
readjustment may be engaged. There
will be many things suggested dor
which Federal and State funds will be
sought. Some OF these will be UNI
worthy. Clearly such public works
as roads are worthy, and it would be
in the public interest TO make avail
able larger appropriations from the
Federal Treasury to be used separate
" or in conjunction with state and
local support.
There need be no delay in the ex-
ecuton OF such program. The ma
ton has already provided the mach
inery in the Department of Agricult-
ure and in the State Highway Com
missions. The Federal-aid road act
was fruitful OF good legislation, and
each state in the Union now has a
central highway authority with pow
err and funds to meet the terms OF
the FEDERAL act. The two agencies,
in conjunction have been engaged in
devising well-considered road systems
and in making surveys, plans and spec
ifoations. The task will be one OF Sc
lection. and those roads will be des-
ignated for improvement which are oil
the greatest economic Importance
with due regard to such military and
other needs as are proper Tor consid-
Grafton. There is no necessity for any
departure from this scheme. The sug
gestions made have been canvassed
with the President. the Secretary OF
War. and the Postmaster General,
and they are in accord with the view
that additional funds should be made
available to this department and that
they should be expended through ex-
isting machinery
