The purchase and reopening of the
prevolcanic deep gravel property at
Pacific, sixteen miles east of Placer

FARM ORGANIZATION
WORK IS DESCRIBED

A lady from the northern part of
the county recently expressed to The
Silver State the pronounced desire of
people in the agricultural districts
for a county agent and the organiza-
tion of farm bureau. Prof. Norcross
director of university extension, has
written the following letter regarding
these subjects:
Nevada farmers and farm women
are organizing. The great national
farm bureau plan has invaded the
state. Two years ago farm bureau
was organized in Lyon county. 1t has
thrived and been a leading factor oi
the agricultural improvement of the
county. Lyon county today is on the
map. Its farmers have organized and
financed great irrigation enterprise
to store the flood waters of the Walk
er river from waste, which will cost
approximately s950.000. They found
that ii would be money in their pock-
cts to pay six per cent interest on
such a sum, or $4,000 annually, and
produce 100000 more crops. than to
lose that much every year from
water shortage in July, August and
September. The matter had been
talked of for twenty years; but the
farm bureau put it over.
Churchill county organized a farm
bureau in 1918. Its story is pretty
much the same as that of Lyon coun-
ty. It's principal job has been to mar
ket the big hay crop of the Newlands
project, to increase the number of
farm live stock, and to see that the
farmers get a square deal every
where. 1t has proved its worth in
that county.
The last legislature passed a farm
bureau act under which a legally or
ganized farm bureau in any county
becomes a quasi-public corporation.
Similar legislation has been passed
In all the other states. 1t can use
the proceeds of not to exceed one
per cent of the county tax rate, equiv
alent to 81 on each $4,000 of taxable
property. in furtherance of farm bu-
reau work when the State will con-
tribute an equal amount, and this will
be further supplemented by Federal
funds under control of the director
OF agricultural extension.
Farm bureaus have recently been
organized under the new law in Elko,
White Pine, Lincoln and Clark coun-
ties, and the existing farm bureaus in

difficulty in securing testimony in

NEXT BADGER FIGHT
WILL Be TO FINISH

It's pretty near time for another
badger fight. And this time the bad
ger ought to get licked. Many cow
boy with good horse, who has come
to grief because of badger hole, will
will say that all badgers should have
been exterminated long ago-but per-
haps a few are still needed for the
legislators to play with at Carson
City, after election.
Albert Kent was in town yesterday
from the Clear Creek ranch, where
a very pretty seven-mile stretch Of
road has been achieved through the
simple expedient of filing ruts with
gravel. OF course, Mr.. Kent expects
more work will be necessary from
time to time filling up holes made by
side-slipping of wheels, but he knows
none of this work is wasted. 1t all
goes toward making a broader and
firmer wheel-track.s AS he expresses
it: Il believe every shoselh of gravel
placed on a desert road makes the
road just that much better"
What surprised the rancher was the
discovery that just as soon as the
gravel-filled ruts became good and
hard, badgers began burrowiDg in
them. Why badger picks the hard
est spot he can find to make a hole
in is hard to understand But Kent
says his men have more gravel than
than all the badgers in Humboldt
county can dig up, and they're going
to put as much of it on the road as
may be necessary.
Stock of all kinds. with their shuf-
fling walk, kick rocks into a country
roadway and these must be picked
out. If this is not done, automobile
owners will drive around them and
cut up the road badly in doing so.
And here's another crime charged
to the badger, for which also he de-
serves a licking: He rolls rocks into
the road. A badger can roll rock
nearly the size of a mans head.
Who's got a lot of good badger
fighting dogs?

GENUINE OIL SLUDGf
ZOO Fl. Down WELL

The heaviest oil sludge yet devel-
oped in the several we'll boring at
tempts in the saltwater neighbor-
hood came from a well on the Free
man ranch, short distance north of
Saltwater. when the two hundred
foot level had been reached by the
drillers working there Saturday, says
the Churchill County Standard. For
a few minutes a genuine oil sludge
of more than ordinary heavy con-
stituency issued from the we'll, but
unfortunately boring operations were
continued and short time later an
artesian flow of hot water occurred
approximating two hundred gallons
per minute with the result that the
oil sludge was shut of. An effort is
to be made to stop the artesian flow
and connect again with the strata
from which the sludge issued and it
is thought that the most auspicious
signs yet developed there will bere-
established to prove that the district
east of Fallon has shallow depth oil
and that it will be possible at only
a few hundred feet of depth to de-
velop wells from which several bar
rels of the fluid may be pumped each
twenty-four hours.
Expert A. e. Wiley has maintained
from the first day he investigated
geological conditions there that shall
low depth wells will characterize oil
drilling effort and that gushers will
be developed at depths varying from
1000 to 1000 feet.

IDEA Of SUSPENDED
SENTENCE REBUKED

The State board of pardons is con-
sidering this week eighty applications
for pardon or parole. 1t is under
stood that at least portion of next
week will be required in which to
camplete the hearings.
During the session of Thursday the
case of Charles Fenget. from Clark
county. was considered and a pardon
was granted. He had been on parole
for a year. The case of John w. Tuck
of Clark county, convicted of grand
larceny. was considered. He has
never been placed in prison. He was
accused of taking pillow from an
abandoned farm. Under the guaran-
tee of suspended sentence he plead
guilty and sentence was suspended.
About this time the supreme court
decided there is no such thing as a
suspended sentence, and now the
question of pardon or parole is be-
fore the board. The value of the
plow was less than $40, while the
conviction was on a charge of grand
larceny. The board reserved it's de-
cision until later.
The case of Pat Bond of Washoe
county was taken up. He is serving
a term for robbery, Knockout drops
being a part of the evidence used
against him. His case is under ad-
visement.

IMPORTANT MINING SUIT HAS
ATTENTION AT HAWTHORNE

What is considered one of the most

Miss Jessie r. Haver, legislative
agent of the National Consumers
League, spoke on food conditions at
tte meeting held in Century Club hall
She outlined the program which has
been endorsed by the National Con-
sumers' League.
She said the present high prices
were brought about largely by propa-
ganGa on the part of the wholesaler; /;
and retailers and blamed the pcakers
of the country for mucl of thi~
propaganda.
She said the National Consumers
League favored the adoption of the
Kenyon Anderson bill to regulate the
meat packers which would. according
to Miss Haver, take from the packers
their stock yards and refrigerator
cars by which they have been able to
clog the channels of trade.
She urged the women to organize
consumers leagues and to study prices
and conditions in order to bring down
the prices.
why should the women pay 800
for coat" she said. "They should
refuse to pay it and the retailer being
unable to sell it will appeal to the
wholesalers who will in turn appeal
to the manufacturer, with a result
that the price will come down.
Wages are not high in many indus
trials. Girls in New York working in
corset factories receive less than $12

ceive wages in the same proportion.
It's not the wages of labor that is in
creasing prices. 1t is the people
themselves led on by propaganda"

stored in any place that potatoes can safely be carried over the winter, ac- cording to G. w. Fraser, foriculturiSt at Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs. The plants should be cut abou. foot above ground and the bulbs allowed to remain a few days after this operation. This permits the tubers to utilize the plant food in the remaining portion of the stem.
 A dry, sunshiny day should be sell ected for lifting the tubers. These should be left on the surface a few hours so that they may dry thorough 1y. Each tuber should be carefully tagged. indicating the name and va riety. This is best done by using a tree label with wire, putting the wire through the tuber rather than around the stem. After drying, the stems of the dahlias may be cut back to four or five inches. The stems of cannas and gladiolas will come off when thor oughly dry.
 The storage room should be moder- ately dry with a temperature of 40 to 50 degrees. The tubers may be placed with stems down in a harrel or box or piled loosely on the floor During the winter they should be ex- amined occa asionally to make sure that they are not being damaged.
