BUSINESS OUTLOOK
 IS MUCH BRIGHTER
Local Banker Sees No Reason For Apprehension; Looks Like a
 Good Year Ahead.

Questioned as to the future of busl- ness and the possibilities of an econo- mic slump, MT. A.E. Waters, vice pres ident of the Arkansas State Bank of fered the following comment:
 Briefly summed up, the present out look appears to be for continued good business; not so good as 1919, but good, nevertheless, with a strong ten dency toward normal.
 "One of the most disturbing factors, the labor situation, shows marked im- improvement. Fewer strikes are re- ported; steadily growing disposition on the part of workers to settle down to a full days work may be seen on every hand.
 The point seems to be getting well home to vast numbers of people that our future will be largely of our own making individually and collectively; that the wastage of war must be paid for and our only means of paying the debt lies in wasting less and producing more,
 "The fact that people generally are beginning to grasp these facts and act upon them furnished the best reason for believing that we shall work our way out of tight place without dis aster.
 .aThe crest in the high cost of living appears to have been reached. Prices already have started downward and will continue. The drop later on will. no doubt, be considerable
 Tn speaking of drop in prices, it should be understood that the "aver- age price" of all commodities is meant. This does not necessarily mean that the average price of things the farmers grow will be less Enor- nous demand is quite likely to hold farm prices at present levels for some time to come"

 This bank stands for that kind of farmng-because that kind of farmers will have money to put into the bank at the end of the year.

The sheriff's office In this city was
notified today that an Italian farmer
living near Reno was buncoed this
morning of $1.7OO by two sharps who
were trying to sell him an automo

a deal with the Italian by which he
was to pay the money for the machine

shown it's merits. With the money
on his person the Italian with the two
men got into the machine and Il was
driven to a point near Lawton, south
west of Reno, where the sharpers
stopped. seized the Italian and took
his bundle of money from him. He
was then thrown out on the road and
the men in the machine drove off and

WILL NOW BUY
SILVER AT 81 AN OUNCE

Beginning today smelter settlements
for American mined silver will be at
the rate of 81 an ounce according to
telephone message received by H.
M. Rives from Ray T. Baker, director
of mints, says the Gazette. The an
nouncement follows ratification by the
treasury department of the recon-
bendations made by committee of
smelter and mining men appointed last
Friday at conference held in San
Francisco at which Mr.. Baker pre-
sided. The committee worked out a
plan whereby the mint would pay 81
an ounce on replacement silver; that
is, the mint will purchase from the
smelters an amount of silver equal to
that produced in American mines. 1t
will not be necessary to segregate
American mines, which both the smell
ter and mining men contend was prac-
tically impossible.

NEW HIGHWAY
BEING TRAVELLED

The new state highway leading
north from Minden to the Saman
ranch was completed last week and
Friday opened to travel 1t is a
splendid piece of road construction
and is being praised by local auto
owners and tourists. The highway is
graded and graveled and so construc-
ted that in the event that any future
time ii may be surfaced with concrete
or other material of that nature at
nominal expense.
From the fact the state is now
building concrete highway from
Keno to Carson, it is not unreasonable
TO assume that many years will not
elapse before the permanent road will
be extended to Gardnerville.
The new stretch of highway from
the Sarman ranch to the Lampe ranch
in. the Haybourn tract will not be
completed for some time owing to
seepage water which put a stop to
the work. The contractors expect to
be able to resume work on this piece
OF road within short time, the grad
ing having been completed and partly
graveled.

COLD WEATHER
NOT HARMFUL
Water Situation Very
Satisfactory---Crops
Not to Suffer

Although it has been published in
a Reno paper that the hay crop in
Carson Valley is exceedingly light
this season and that Much of the grain
would be cut for hay, the fact remains
that the first crop Of alfalfa is of
normal yield and the grain is in splen-
did condition with promise of average
yield Farmers report that the cold
weather has held back crops to con-
siderable extent but has done more
good than harm. The first crop of
alfalfa is not so high as in normal
years but is much heavier than usual.
The cold night has been of benefit
to growing grain crops causing it to
stool in astonishing manner
1t is also pointed out that the cold
weather Is doing much to hold back
the water supply and from all reports
the shortage will not be of any ma
terial consequence to growing crops.
there being an assurance of sufficient
for all purposes, although care in its
distribution must be taken.
The Alpine Land and Reservoir
has placed Oscar Reere in charge of
the storage reservoirs in Alpine
county and reports received Wednes-
day state that the reservoirs are filled
to their utmost capacity. Much new
work was completed last year and the
storage capacity of the reservoirs
greatly increased The storage water
will not be released until such time
as the normal flow of the East Fork
has reached a point insufficient to
supply demands of growing crops. 1t
is stated that the normal flow of the
Carson river will hold out until after
the second crop is well on its way
to maturity.
All in all. the farmers of Carson
Valley have every reason to be en-
couraged over the prospects of good
season with the harvesting of normal
crops.

ALFALFA WEEv|L
FOUND |NNEVADA

Measures to prevent the spread OF
alfalfa weevil into Nevada are being
taken by the United States bureau OF
entomology at the Salt Lake agricul-
tural station, X. NJ. Pack. of the bu-
reau, said last night. says the Eyl
Times. Mr.. Pack is here to find the
outskirts of the western limit to
where the weeyils have spread so far
Previously il was not known how
far west of Skull Valley. Utah, the in
sects had spread, and Mr. Pack was
sent out on an expedition to trace
them westward. He said he found
weevils at Fish Springs. Trout Creek,
Callao and Ibapah In Utah, and across
the line in Nevada he found the pests
in the alfalfa at Tippett and vicinity.
He has found no more further west,
and the injury done 10 the crops az
Tippett Is not noticeable yet, he said
However. while their depredations are
not serious now in Nevada they are
coming this way, Mr.. Pack asserted.
lie has swept fields at Schellbourne,
McGill and near Ely. but no trace of
the insect have been found south OF
Tippett From here he will go south
east as far as Milford. Utah.
The bureau has considerable diff
Guilty in getting the alfalfa growers to
spray against the weeyis, Mr.. Pack
asserted Arsenate of lead is used In
spraying, and some growers contend
that there is danger of poisoning stock
by feeding them hay that has been
sprayed with the chemical. Mr.. Pack
said that this contention is wrong, as
experiments proved that horse
would have to eat a ton OF hay to get
enough arsenic to do any harm. State
and government chemists, after MAX
ing analytical tests, found that hay
sprayed with the solution contained
less arsenic that the drinking water
anywhere in the Great Basin region.
The cost of spraying is much les.
than brushing the fields Mr. Pack
said 1000 acres were sprayed I'm Utah
last year with very satisfactory re-
suits at cost of ,l.G5 t)-those who
owned their own machines, and and
$l.75 for custom spraying. Some
fields were entirely eaten up by the
weevils. One spraying season Is ef-
fectiye. The larvae do greater harm
than the matured weevils, he said.
The alfalfa crops in Utah ard Ne
vada are in general very good this
season. and are better thar las. year
The frosts have done little harm in
northern Nevada and Utah. but have
not retarded the growth OF the hay
to any great extent
