Every important grain State has
been losing over million bushels of
grain each year because of inefficient
thrashing methods, declare investiga-
tors Of the United States Department
of Agriculture. The Government, by
bringing this enormous loss to the at
tentfOn of farmers and thrashermen
and showing them how to avoid 1t, z,
saved 22,OO0,000 bushels Of grain in
the 21 states in which the educational
work was carried on last year.
When an average of eight bushels
Of grain is lost on every farm in the
United States at thrashing time every
year. that loss begins to have per-
sonal meaning. With wheat worth
S2.26. it is well worth while to pre-
vent that loss, if possible. And it is
entirely possible. The chief source of
loss is the inefficient operation Of
tharshing machines.
Any standard thrashing machine
will do satisfactory work if kept in
repair and operated intelligently. If
the operator knows his machine, and
sees that it is properly adjusted and
operated. grain will come through
clean and losses will be small The
farmer should know enough about the
general operation of thrashing ma
chine to detect poor work. which
means direct loss to him.
Adjust Separator Carefully.
To do good work tne separator must
be set level, both crOsswise and length
wise, and then carefully adjusted to
the particular job at hand. The greater
part of the separation is done in the

Unthashed heads are often found !
in the tailings. This results from |
missing or BROKEN teeth, or teeth too
far apart, not centered, or badly worn; ;
cOncave set too low, or concave with
not enough teeth. The speed of the
cylinder also causes many unthrashed
heads. Damp. .unripe, or mOldy grain
requires more than normal speed of
the cylinder to thrash out well. i
Operator Should Know Machine.
Grain is lost througn rne improper
adjustment of other parts of the sep
aratOr as well as the cylinder. so it is
evident that the operator must be
thoroughly familiar with the entire
machine. 1t may not be possible to
save all the grain now lost. but the
careless operator who does not know
just what the different parts of his
separator is running. will waste a
great amonnt unnecessarily. He will
surely have to make frequent St6ps
for adjustment. Every time machine
stops, the whole crew. mnst be idle 8
until it starts again--a loss of time
to everybody concerned.

the grain from the straw, it Is usually

HIGHLY ESTEEMED Citizen

KENT IRRIGATION BILL
PASSES THE ASSEMBLY
Measure Has Endorsement of Prac-
tical Farmers and Will BE Signed
by the Governor

While there was never any doubt
that the Kent Irrigation bill would
pass both branches of the legislature
and receive the signature of the Gov
ernor, nevertheless there was a feel
ing of jubilation on the project last
week when it was announced that it
had successfully run the gauntlet of
the Assembly and escaped. the blight
ing influence of Miss Martin.
The bill is the result of carefully
thought out plan for water distribu-
tion and control based on conditions
as they exist in Nevada rather than
in California. While perhaps not
perfect, it will at least enable our
farmers to go ahead with an assur-
ance that has been lacking in the
past and leave to practical expert
ence the problem of smoothing off
the rough places as they may devel-
op to be handled at future legisla-
lures.
Contrary 20 report II is not hast
lily constructed measure drawn by
lawyers, but has probably received
more consideration by practical men
than any bill that has so far been
introduced in either house. Land
owners. homesteaders, owners of
vested water rights and reclamation
officials have all been consulted in
its preparation and every possible
safeguard has been thrown about the
bonds that may be issued under its
provisions. as well as providing for a
working plan for the organization of
irrigation districts.
With the Kent Irrigation Bill and
the Berney bond issue bill to assist
settlers in leveling and preparing
their lands in actual operation, the
Newlands project should make more
progress in the next two years than
has been made in a decade in the
past.

YERINGTON GIRLS DEFEATED;
ANOTHER FEATHER IN OUR CAP

Yerington's highfalutin' chal-
lenge to beat us up. fell fiat Satur-
day night when, at the finish OF the
game the score board read so to 20
in favor of Fallon.
The bedraggled remains of the
Yerington team collected themselves
about twelve and departed hotel
ward to release their tales of woe In
secret.
The game in itself was a farce
but really not the fault of Yerington
AS they had only practiced three
weeks. The whole team has good
material and they could be developed
into good players.
Our boys didn't seem to mind
their bum playing and addresses
were exchanged with the rapidity of
machine gun.
1t was a good practice game and
helped the girls perfect themselves
for the coming Dayton conflict. In
which both boys and girls teams take
part. This is going to be pulled OF
the 22nd.

We will see!
We will conquer! !

TEACHERS PENSIONS
MAY BE STATE TAX

A bill was passed in the assembly
recently which, should it get through
the Senate, will relieve school teach
ers from paying on the teachers re-
tirement or pension fund.
Under the provisions of this bill it
is proposed to levy general tax of
mills ON the hundred dollars which
will constitute fund for the pay
ment of pensions. Under the old
law the teachers have been assessed
approximately SO per year for this
accumulation fund, says the Carson
News.
The rest of the bill is undisturbed.
The pension amounts are the same.
The teachers are retired after 80
years service with half of the sum
at l 5 years; in fact the entire law
remains the same with the exception
of the general tax.
There was considerable discussion
ON the merits of the bill, ii being
contended by some that the teachers
were entitled to no more rights than
other professions who give their life
to public work. When the roll was
called the bill passed by vote OF
% to 3.

BRAND INNOVATION

The Free Press says an innovation
in the way of a sheep brand has been
filed in the county recorders Office
at Elko by John G. Taylor, one of
the largest sheep owners in the
State Sheep are ordinarily branded
by marking on the animals woolly
coat with marking liquid, but Mr..
Taylor is marking his sheep with a
brand burned into the skin, the same
as cattle and horses are marked.
The brand registered consists of a
narrow bar burned onto the nose
just above the nostrils, making a
very prominent brand and perma-

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
SILVER MAY END SOON
High Prices Predicted that VIII
Mean An Era of Prosperity for
Nevada Companies

Expressing the belief that when
the government releases control oi
the silver market the price of that
metal will increase. the Boston News
Bureau states that control is likely
to end within the next thirty days.
This will mean doing away with
the maximum and minimum prices
which were established when the
treasury department began melting
down the $4,000. 900 silver dollars
in the vaults at Washington for
shipment TO India.
With control off the price, silver
authorities are expecting a repeti-
tion of the high level of last year
when silver went to s1.16 an ounce
With the passing of silver control
there will also be a noteworthy re-
duction in the var purchases from
India. That country is known as the
sink hole" for silver, because once
II is sent there it seldom, If ever,
again is taken out of the country
No gold whatever is now being sent
TO India II is the habit of the ma
tiyes there to MAKE earrings and
ornaments out of gold nd thus II
passes out of circulation
II the expectation of nigh prices
for silver materializes it siii mean
an era of prosperity for silvo- min
ing companies. 1t has only teen
since the war started that silver
mines could be operated at all at a
profit. Previous to that time silver
was merely a by-product recovered
from ores mined because of theiF
content OF other metal.
The present price OF silver Is 81
an ounce. minimum. aud si.O11 en-
ounce maximum The government
has officially contracted with silver
producers TO buy from them at a
lower price. and there is an agree
ment all around not to sell above the
maximum price.
The factor that makes for an as
sured market for all the silver that
can be mined for several years to
come is the practical demonetization
of gold In European countries and
the shortage of minor coins In
France aluminium is being used for
fractional currency.
For three years jewellers and art
dealers In ell parts OF Europe have
been compelled to refrain from using
silver in their wares When the con-
troll has been lifted from silver and
the almost unlimited demands of the
British government have been modi-
fled II will remain to supply COM
mercial dealers with new stocks of
the white metal equal to the guam
tity they had before the war.
The process of melting down the
silver dollars in the treasury Is still
going on in all the mints of the
country and several million dollars
worth of bars are being exported
weekly to India When this work is
completed IL Is expected the control
will be lifted.

s3,536,79S AVAILABLE FOR
NEVADA ROADS THIS YEAR

Nevada's apportionment of federal
funds for highway building purposes
is s3,536,79S.63, according to esti-
mates made by the department of
agriculture in a bulletin just issued.
OF this amount s965.0O0 has al
ready been allotted this State under
the Bankhead bill of 1916, 1885,
42472 being available for the fiscal
years of 1917, 1918 and 1919
$257.173.3S for 1920 and s321.-
466.72 for 1921.
Under the provisions of the new
postoffice bill, which carried an ap-
preparation of $209, 100000 for fed
eral aid for road building purposes,
this State will receive $642. .933 As
in 1919. s964,400.1S in 1920 and
1864. 400.1S in 1921.
An important effect of the law
containing the new appropriation is
that 1t broadens the definition of a
rural post road, under which cl1ss a
highway had to qualify in order to
receive the benefits of the federal aid
act.
Under the old act II was required
that mail should actually be carried
on the road or that there should be
a reasonable prospect that mail
would be carried on 1t within a short
time after improvement.
