If the farmers Of Tennessee are ask
ed why we are not more Successfuf
in the hog business they will fnYaria-
bly, reply; First, because we do no.
raise to maturity a sufficient number
Of pigs farrowed. Second, because we
20 not feed economically, and third,
is a question of more attention, bet
tei management.
How to raise a pig through the first
three months of its rerilous life is a
question that requires much thought
and experience. However, a few OF
the salient points put into practice
on the successful hog farm may be
mentioned and if remembered and
carried out will reduce the enormous
lossds&and thereby make the keepin3
of a good brood SOW more profitable.
Our aamual live stock reports for Ten
LESSEE and the Southern states SHOW
year after year loss of pigs farTOW

before they reach the age OF three
months. To raise three out Of litter
OF twelve is altogether too common in

Duck Season
Opens on 10th

The open season for hunting ducks
and water fowl will begin at sunrise
on Thursday, September 10th and
from all accounts hunters of this VAL
ley will find plenty of birds. At least
there are large number of ducks on
the sloughs and ponds in different
parts of the. Valley at this time, and
hunters have no fear that they will
migrate before the morning of the
opening season
Favored hunting grounds have
been leased to different clubs. the
members of at least two clubs. having
made arrangements for feeding grain
to the ducks during the fall and
winter season with the hope that they
may be lured to stay here rather than
migrating to the rice fields of Cali
fornia. as has evidently been the Gus
tom of the ducks during the past
several years.

CHILDREN MUST
attend SCHOOL

The question of children attending
school is vital to every community,
and an Interpretation by the attorney
general given to the department of
education Is especially interesting at
this time. The opinion follows:
An act to provide for the establish
mnet of part-time schools and classes
and to compel attendance of minors
upon such schools and classes. Ap-
proved March 20, 1919.
This act provides for compulsory
education of children up to the age
of is years Under this age minors
are required to attend school except
when employed and employed minors
must attend part-time classes for at
least four hours week when such
classes are established in the district
where they reside. Nothing in the act
is TO be construed as permitting a
child under Is years of age to remain
out of school when not employed
The law forbids ideness. These
young people must be either in school
or at work.
Schools are required by this law to
establish part-time classes wherever
there are Is or more prospective
students; they may, of course, set up
part-time instruction for smaller
number
Employers are required to cooper
ate in part-time education by permit
ting their employees to attend classes
during working hours by including
the time spent in classes in the legal
length of the working day for children
Employers must keep on file for every
employed minor under IS years OF
age an employment certificate" is
sued by the local school authorities
Parents are also required to cooper
ate with the schools by sending their
employed children to part-time classes
when established. Penalties are pro-
yided for employers and parents fall
ing TO comply with the law. The
local school authorities responsible
for the attendance of children at the
regular schools abe made responsible
for the additional attendance requir-
ed by this act.
The state department of vocational
education Is given supervision of all
part-time instruction and directed to
make regulations for administering 1t.
psrt-time classes. conducted In ae-
eordanee with state and federal rul
ings shall be subsidized with state and

VETERAN OF WORLD WAR
TO JOIN POLISH FORCES

Herbert Dechambeau, who served
through the world war with the fam
Gus Kootie regiment of Canada and
saw months of service at the front in
France. has announced that he will
soon leave for Poland to help that
country in its battle with soviet Rus
sia. He is now negotiating for per-
mission of the state department in
Washington to take that step.
Dechambeau resides at Mono Lake
and entered the war by way of Canada
long before the United States called
for soldiers. At one time he fought
a pistol duel with a German soldier
at close range and was the one to
survive. He was wounded several
time. losing an eye in one engagement.

BIG LOSS OF POTATO CROP
BY IN WASHOE COUNTY

A very material loss will occur to
the potato crop of Washoe county this
year, due to the prevalence of 'fusar-
iun wilp" among the crops in this
vicinity, according to S. e. Merrill.
Washoe county agent. The loss is es-
timated by some at 100000. says the
Gazette.
Merrill at present is completing
data that will show the exact extent
of the loss, but said that he believed
the amount would be near the above
figure. The disease is common all
over the valley and particularly on
ranches near Sparks. 1t has been re-
ported that the blight also exists
around Fallon.
"Fusariun wilp occurs in the potato
seed and resulted in limited yield and
poor grade of potato. Another pota-
to disease has been found among Wa
shoe comfy potatoes, called rhizoct-
orica, which is less common, however.
1t results in the potatoes rotting
while still in the ground, Merrill eN-
planned.
Rotation of crops is the only way
to eradicate the disease. Then ranch
ers near Sparks are selecting their
seed only from hills in which there is
known to be no disease and in that
way expect to rid their crops of any
blight"
Merrill said that the farm bureau
was cooperating with the ranchers in
shipping their potatoes under the
present alfalfa weevii quarantine. 1t
is required that the potatoes be
screened, and may be shipped after
an inspector. furnished by the farm
bureau, has certified to the proper
treatment of the potatoes in prepara-
tion for shipment.

URGES WORK
ON SOUTH ROAD

Anderson Brothers and others who
are operating motor trucks between
Minden and Mono county points, re-
port they have been reliably inform
ed that great amount of material
for the construction of the Alkali
lake storage reservoir, to be built by
the Walker River Irrigation District,
will be shipped to that point via Min
den provided that the road over the
Double Springs summit is repaired
in such manner as to make trucking
possible throughout the winter
months. There are few other plac-
es on the southern road that needs at
tention before winter hauling can be
done. With this work accomplished,
1t is asserted that many thousands
of tons of cement, machinery, lumber
and the like will be shipped to the
Alkali reservoir via Minden and give
employment to many trucks.
The State Highway Commission is
advertising for bids for the grading of
the road from a point three miles this
side of the Mountain House to Car
ter's Station, which covers the stretch
of highway most harmful to winter
trucking
The county commissioners plan to
do considerable work on other por-
tions of the road this fall and from
all accounts the highway will be in
better repair this fall that ever be-
fore. II the highway commission is
successful in securing bids for the
proposed work over the summit, the
trucking interests will be able to
bid on the freighting contract for the
Alkali reservoir.
