SURVEY OF NEVADA
FARMS TO BE MADE

Between 5000 and 1000 Nevada
farms will be surveyed with respect
to acreage and production of import
ant crops, number and kind OF live
stock and farm labor conditions dur
ing March. The survey has been or
dered by the government and will be
| conducted by the public schools OF
the state in cooperation with the az
ricultural extension division OF the
| university.
| A similar survey of the range live
stock and labor situation will be made
by direct communication from the ex-
tension division with all range stock
men, under special provisions safe
guarding the secrecy of all informa-
ton asked for on the schedules.
The object OF the survey is to de
termine the actual food production of
the state and the farm and range Ia
Dor situation. The summarized totals
will disclose not only the status OF
the state with respect TO the produc-
ton OF vegetable and meat foods but
will form the basis for formulating
any policies which may be thought ad-
vantageosu to increase production.
At the request of Director c. a Nor
cross, OF the agricultural extension
division. in charge of food production
,-orly IN NTayoEo Tho ctata hoard NJ
education, comprised of Gov. Boyle.
Walter z. Clark and John f. Bray, has
issued a circular letter to the boards
of trustees and public school teachers
directing the cooperation of teachers
and pupils in making the survey on
Thursday. Friday and Saturday, Mar.
1916. Sufficient schedules have been
sent each school to enable returns TO
be made on all farms within the boun-
daries of the district.
1t is proposed that this survey be
taken by the public schools in all the
states under a plan suggested by the
federal officials, substantially as fol-
lows: That each public school, hav-
ing farms within the school district
boundaries, undertake and have the
charge of the survey in such school
district. The teacher ascertains the
number OF farms within the district
and the names of the owners or oper-
ators. The pupils are enrolled in the
| service, taking the schedules to their
homes and having their parents, if
farmers, fill them out. The older
pupils are organized to visit farm
owners not represented by children
in the school and secure like returns
In some instances it may be neces
sary for the teacher to explain the
survey and secure the data.
Last year such survey by the pub
lie schools of the state of New York
was so successful that the govern
ment has recommended the adoption
of the plan generally. The extension
division will not use the fedora
schedules because they are inadapteC
to Nevada conditions. Instead, a spec
ial series has been prepared which
are quite simple to fill out and ar,
in form with the system of agricul
ture.
Every farmer and stockman shoulc
regard it as a patriotic duty to hell
the government to the extent of sup
, plying this needed information" sale
which. before peace comes, may tai
the utmost resources OF the nation
, and it is vital that the United State!
take accurate stock of its every wa
resource"

John Magruder. the grocer, told a
Times representative today that he
had not had a bit of kerosene Tor
three days and that after repeated ap-
peals to the Standard Oil Company
he was told that because of the fail
ure of the railroads to bring kero-
sene tank cars into Washington II
was impossible to get any, but that
kerosene might be procured today or
tomorrow
Il haven't had a gallon of kerosene
for three days." said Magruder, land
the demands for. this fuel are unprece-
dented. The cause for the shortage
is the failure of the railroad coHI-
panies to move the tank cars and also
the enormous demands of Washing
tonians, who use II for heating dur
ing this cold weather. ! guess we
will have some, however, either TO-DAY
