Haying in Carson Valley Is pro-
crossing with fair results, consider
ing the present shortage of men. Dur
ing the week quite number of men
arrived In the Valley and the labor
situation is on the improve.
From the fact that the method of
handling hay has changed. owing to
new and improved machinery, the
number of men required for handling
the crops of Carson Valley has been
decreased at least thirty per cent. ac-
cording to a prominent rancher.
The Butner and side delivery rakes,
the hay loader and other hay ma
chinery has been responsible for the
change. While the hay loader is be-
ing used on many farms with good
success 1t, is lacking in efficiency In
one respect. Instead Of carrying the
hay onto the wagon from the rear. It
should deliver the hay from the side.
after the fashion of header In the
Lovelock Valley such a loader has
been made from the kind now used
here and works SO successful, that one
of the manufacturers will place ma
chine of this kind on the market next
season. H tlH@

Valley Road Signs
Being Destroyed
tCGmmunicated)

Here in our own valley we see
numerous instances Of sign spoliation.
A number of those modern, metal
signs placed recently by the Auto
Association have been so badly shot
up that they are not only unsightly
but unservicable.
This malicious practice has been
carried out to some extent to more
remote mountain trails and road
signs. -.
Few improvements for public SER
vice are so valuable to the travelling
public as well placed signs and one
can scarcely conceive what lowly
motive leads to their destrution.
The government places a penalty
of $500 and two years Imprisonment
for each and every case of destruct-
ion of their signs and 1t seems that
our county should enact an ordinance
providing heavy penalty against de-
facement of its signs and let's all
get behind movement which will pro-
mote sign protection and prosecute
with all diligence those who destroy
them. f &

Vocational Training to Be
Assisted by Federal Funds

At the last meeting of the State
Board of Vocational Education. June
10. 1919, Homer Derr of Phoenix, Ariz.
was elected to the position OF state
supervisor for agricultural education
in Nevada. Mr.. Derr is leaving a
similar position in the state of Ari2o
ma.
This position on the state vocational
staff, of which r. A. Jones is director,
carries with it the responsibility OF
not only the supervision of all agri-
cultural education meeting tn provis-
ions of the Smith-Huges act, but the
itnnerant teaching-training and pro-
motional work throughout the state
for this same line of work.
Because of the many questions and
inquiries directed to the state dirctor's
Office 1t is presumed that the duties of
the agricultural supervisor will be of
interest to the general public. The
following desribed duties are taken
from the state vocational plans for
the coming school year, and inciden-
tally the federal government pays one
half the salary and travelling expnses
of the state supervisor In carrying out
the duties says the Appeal.
The state supervisor of agricultural
education Is expected to visit as often
as the welfare of the work demands,
all schools teaching agriculture under
the provisions of the Smith Hughes
act and assist the teachers of agri-
culture ID In improving the instruct
ion: (2) In planning courses of study
suited to the community; 90 in pro-
viding proper library and laboratory
facilities; "a In developing project
work and project teaching; (5' in .ex-
tending the enrolment and Co to see
to 1t that the age limit, segregation of
classes. and all othsr requirements of
the Smith-Hughes act are properly
carried out. He shall visit schools in
the state that seem to have possibili-
ties of development along the lines OF
vocational agriculture. II shall be
his duty to promote new work where
ever vocational agriculture as outlin-
ed by the Smith-Hughes oct is need
ed by the Smith-Hughes act is need
II shall also be his duty to give spec
ial attention to the organization and
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1919-06-27

development of part-time classes,
evening classes and short unit courses
in agriculture.
1t shall be the duty of the supervis-
or of agricultural education to sub-
NIT to the state director of vocational
education a written report upon the
work undertaken at each destination
when visiting schools or projects In
the interest of vocational agriculture.
He shall whenever possible call to-
gether instructors of vocational agri-
culture to discuss problems to their
work and interests.
For the coming year the State Board
for Vocational Education intends to
furnish financial aid to not less than
six agricultural schools in as many
different leading agricultural districts
OF the state. There will be several
agricultural coures which will not
ask for aid. but the work will be vo-
cational nevertheless and will be
planned with the specific idea of fit
ting boys for mediate useful employ
ment. Learn by doing" will be
their slogan. 1t might be of interest
to know that the agricultural courses
at Fallon, Gardnerville and Metropolis
were approved by the state board for
Smith-Hughes aid for the present
school year ending June 30, 1919,
which means that the federal and
state vocational funds taken together
will pay three-fourths of the salaries
of the vocational teachers for the
time spent in giving vocational in
struction
In the opinion of the state director
three things are necessary for the de-
velopment of this great state. They are
(D reclamation; t2) good roads. and
CD adequate training of our youth
for the leading industries. Agricul-
ture is tn leading permanent industry
of Nevada and what is more reason
able than that we should train the
large per cent of high school students
who do not go to the university for
this great industry. Does it pay
The nations, the states, cities and
school districts all over the United
States have tried 1t out, and all agree
that il does pay in increased civic
efficiency and dollars as well.

NEW ADDITION TO
BE ADDED TO
GARAGE

The c. o. ID. Garage company have
found it necessary to enlarge their
garage at Minden and this week the
foundation for an addition 40xS0 Is
under way The new structure will be
of brick and will join the main build
ing on the south, and along side of
the origial building This is the third
addition added to the garage since it
was established.
The business of this garage has
grown by leaps and bounds, and two
years ago when the last enlargement
of the building was made. the owners
believed that the structure was ade-
quate for all time. A few months
later, they were crowded from room.
Besides carrying on large machine
shop and repair department, the
garage company is agent for four
different makes of cars, and carry a
big stock of tires and assessories, as
we'll as battery service station.

400 ACRE FEET
Z Of WATER IN
RESERVOIRS

George. Alderman assumed the po-
sition of Water Commissioner of the
East Fork last week and is now dis
tributing the water to the farmers on
this side of the Valley. The flow has
fallen rapidly during the past two
weeks and this step was deemed nec-
essary to provide equity in the dis
tribution of water for irrigation and
meets the hearty approval of all the
water users.
| The season is at least three weeks
earlier that last year. at which time
haying did not commence until after
/ July 1st At this time many of the
small farmers have their first crop
in the stack and water is being run
onto the fields to start the second
crop.
When the flow of the East Fork
falls below a certain point, and water
is needed badly the empounded water
in the storage reservoirs Of the Al
pine Land & Reservoir company will
be released and stockholders in that
company are being asked to file their
application for storage water. After
their demands are met. the surplus
water will be sold to non-stockholders
of that company.
It is estimated that 1400 acre feet
of water empounded In the reser-
voirs at this time, and from that fact
the hay and grain crops of the East
Fork will not suffer for the want of
water for irrigation.
A member of the company was ask
ed II any attempt would be made to
increase the capacity Of the storage
reservoirs, and he gave 1t as his opin-
ion that no further work would be
done. While the company's reser-
voirs in Alpine county could be In
creased three or four times their pre-
sent capacity without enormous ex-
pense, it would be unwise to do 50, in
asmuch as the government is working
on storage system for this Valley
In fact, since the irrigation district
was organized here some six years
ago. the farmers interested In Alpine
company have been unwilling to ex-
pend money improving the reservoirs
only to have them made practically
useless by the federal project. How
ever. the many years of stalling on
the part of the reclamation depart
ment has held back work on the
farmers storage system, and to a
great extent has retarded the agri-
cultural expansion of this Valley
II seems at this time, however, thai
the long wait and years Of anxiety
are nearing the end and that in with
in comparatively short time, the
federal reclamation department, will
be ready to start building the long
talked of storage reservoir on the up.

Reno. New, June 26-"Round-t D.
July 3, 4. and5. Let 'er Buck"
This Is the slogan of the big cele-
bration to be held here the first OF
next month and while 1t has sounde ed
around the state, it conveys In cniy
an adequate way the extent to which
the original rodeo plans have grown,
the wide territory from which it will
draw visitors, the diverse and varied
nature OF the entertainment to be Of
fered and the widespread and impor-
tant interests to which II will make a
direct appeal
When II first became known that
Reno had decided TO play host at the
biggest Fourth of July celebration
ever staged In these parts and in
characteristic fashion would open the
doors and throw the keys away, there
was general stir OF intrest through
out the state. Then the Commercial
Club committee In charge OF the cele-
bration began TO receive inquiries. not
only from all over the state. but from
California. Oregon, Arizona, Utah,
ldamo. New Mexico and .even Okla
homa.
Thus, like a SNOWFALL. ever increas-
ing in size, the rodeo plans have ex-
panded until a great. five-day carni
val is in course of formation that will
attract not only the lovers of wild
west sports. but will appeal to The
miner. the rancher. the timberman,
the autoists. the pleasure seeker. the
tourist and even to Milady, who would

the dates OF the Roundup slogan are
slightly misleading, for the real festi-
vities are to start July down at

fiye hectic days and nights.

HEFLIN INTRODUCES RESOLUTION TO END
 COTTON GAMBLING

Washington, January 2S.-(Special0 Representative Heflin introduced the following joint resolution. in the House today to prevent gambling in cott2n futures
 "Whereas. the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges as conducted today do not reflect the price Justihed by the law of supply and demand, and wher eas, the great difference between the price of cotton futures on these exchanges and the price of spot cotton in the markets of the country is proof positive that these two exchanges have ceased to be places of legitimate spec ulation. but nave degenerated into gambling institutions, and whereas, the exchange that does not reflect the price warranted by the law of supply and demand, serves no legitimate pur- pose and should be abolished. and whereas, it is morally wrong for Con- gress to permit the kind of specula- tion now carried on by the New York and New Orleans cotton exchanges
 "Therefore be it resolved by the Sem ate and House of Representative of the United Stats of American, in Congress assembled, That gambling or specua- tion in cotton as carried on at present on the New York and New Orleans
