FOREST OFFICERS TAKE
POSSESSION OF STOLEN SHEEP

The Elko Free Press says that a
few days ago the officials of the
Humboldt forest took charge of a
band of 100 sheep in the northern
part Of Elko County, that had been
driven over from Idaho and across
the forest without permission, as 1t
was in violation of the Federal rul-
ings. 1t now develops, according
to reports, that the band of sheep
we're stolen from an Idaho sheepman
believed to be either Bengochea or
the Bruneau Sheep Company, and
they have been notified and are on
their way to identify the animals.
No warrants have beeen issued as
yet, but the officers are satisfied that
they were stolen and the men who
who sold them to Jake Reed are well
known young men from the northern
part of Elko County.

ALFALFA KING in NEVADA

During the meeting of the board
Of state assessors n interesting
tact was presented-the valuation of
alfalfa lands in this State. In the
South, cotton is king; and in Cali
fornia, orange land is the heir ap-
parent to all that is worth while;
bat in Nevada, alfalfa is king, queen,
and all the royal family.
In deter thinning the valuations of
high-grade lands the question
as to what constitutes h~igh-grade
lands. After a lot of figuring 1t all
conferred on the production of so
much alfalfa to the acre. Land that.
produces four tons or v q is first
class land, and when 1t reaches from
six to seven toni per acre 1t Is, ultra
land for this royal fodder stuff. In
.ucb cases the lands are excluded
.roEa the general schedule of assess
ients and come under the hand of
ae Individual assessor.
II was shown that in several sec
ions of Nevada lands, with estab-
.isaed water rights and cutting
.hree crops, produced over FIVE tons
and will average better than seven.
This was admitted in certain locali-
lies in Douglas, Churchill and Wa
shoe, where farms In Smith and Ma
son valleys have recorded better than
ssyen tons to the acre.
4. 1t was also developed that such
lands improve with the culture of
King Alfalfa, don't wear out, and
hen plowed and switched into pota-
toes for a year the tonnage holds
the records.
Should the alfalfa farmers in the
future admit anything over four tons
per acre they get into the king row
and the assessor is to make his cal
culations accordingly.

winnemucca Star: Owing to the

THAT COYOTES
ARE DISAPPEARING

Their has not been q positive
case of rabies in Nevada for three
months and the coyotes that infest
the state by thousands three years
ago. when the rabies epidemic was
at its height, are disappearing rapid
lv. according to L. r. Sans. in charge
Of the United States biological sur
vev office in Reno, which has been
conducting the war on coyotes and
other predatory animals for the past
five years.
During September rs trappers
employed by the biological survey
caught and killed 1,051 animals, OF
which $40 were coyotes. In Sept
ember, 1918, over 1900 animals
were killed, while 1900 was the re-
cord in September, 1917, and 1880
were caught in September 1916.
September is always the record
month in taking coyotes and other
animals as they come out OF the
hills then. During September bui
three reports of rabid coyotes were
received while in the same period
two and three years ago the reports
on rabid animals would run into the
scores.

HOW TO STOP PR0FTTEERINC
There Are Many Ways of Stopping
II. But They All Need Courage.

l. But Tney AL Ncoo cou"8o.
The Country Gentleman: There
are simple and direct ways of get
ting at the profteers. but we still
persist In indirect and overpolite
methods.
For instance, the principal effort
of the Government has not been
to protect buyers against robbery.
but to send the Internal Revenue
Collector round to the profteer and
make him divide the swag. This
may be annoying to the proflteer,
but II furnishes no relief to the
plundered and helpless consumer.
Some folks we're hopeful that the
sale of government war stores at
cost would tumble prices down, but
at best this method furnished only
temporary relief to those fortunate
enough to get the government food,
while the profteer set his mouth in
a harder line, and vowed to collect
superprofts to make up for 1t.
Some city newspapers have at
tempted to solve the problem by
publishing lists Of fair prices"
This usually fails, for no proof is
given that the prices are fair, and
the merchant, having the food which
the public requires, has the last word
But the newspapers could bring the
greed-bloated prices down. Suppose
they found out what the farmers
got for certain products and set the
figure down in a column besides
what the dealers got for the same
articles. Suppose they used names
and called attention to exorbitant
profits where they appeared. How
long would it take to bring to time
the most hardened glutton Of profits.
Suppose q farm bureau-or one
courageous farmer-should trace
food products to the city, then buy
space in city newspapers to show the
wide gap between the prices a GER
tain farmer got and a certain mer-
chant got for the same article. Can
anyone doubt that this would make
the sport of local p~rofiteering less
popular.
Or suppose a law YER passed re-
Quiring that the original sale price
of every farm article be plainly
marked on 1t. so that the consumer
might compute the middleman's
and retailers profit. With such a
law backed by an aroused public
sentiment, how long would fat prof
its last?
Naturally we all look to Congress
to do something, and we have expect
ed more support than we have had
from municipal, state and Federal
officers. What seems to be needed
is not SO much new methods as
stir backbones. There r plenty
of ways of stopping pr%ofiteering, but
they all require courage.
