ALFALFA WEEyIL MAY BE
IN FERNLEY HAY FIELDS

Specimens of alfalfa from fields
near Sparks, Fernley and other local
tiles in that section of the state were
taken to the university Tuesday morn
ing for tests to determine whether the
larva found on the plants was the al
falfa weevil.
Tests will be conducted under dir
ection of Prof. Samuel B. Doten, ento-
moligist. who will determine the orig
In and specie of the larva.
Several of the farmers in whose
fields the affected plants were found
have expressed fears regarding the
spread of the alfalfa weevil from
Idaho and other infected districts.
The pest has been reported in several
surrounding states but to date Neva-
da has been free from affliction.

MISS JACOBSEN

The Misses Meta Jacobsen and

number of friends at a party Satur-

Miss Jennie Jacobsen being the guest
Of honor. Cards we're played until a
late hour, and when scores were
counted, Mrs. NJ. Jacobsen was
awarded high prize.
At the conclusion Of the card games
the guests we're hidden to the home
Of Miss Brockliss, where a beautifully
appointed table had been set for the
guests. In the center of the table was
arranged pink and white sweet peas,
that color scheme being carried out
In the favors and place cards. Hid

the guests to Miss Jacobsen. When at
a hidden time the streamers to the set
were pulled, lifting the covering, and
allowing the set to be viewed by the

Delicious refreshments were sery-

LAKE RESORTS
FILLED WITH GUESTS

The resorts at the southern end of
Lake Tahoe are enjoying a most un-
usual run of business is brought in a
report received here yesterday. Sat
urday night Bijou resembled small
sized city and the resorts in that To-
cality are reported to have been taxed
to their utmost capacity, and all the
available camping ground space oc-
cupied. This condition is said to
be the result of the removal of gaso-
line restrictions that were in force
for several weeks in most of the
cities of California.
Automobile travel over the Tioga
Pass to and from Yosemite Valley and
Lake Tahoe through Gardnerville and
Minden is exceedingly heavy at this
time and both towns are full of tour
lists from morning till night. It is
estimated that the travel during the
past ten days or two weeks even sur
passes the travel at any time last
season.

LAND
FOR CAMPERS

There has been considerable dis
cussion In this county relative to the
establishment of public camping
ground for auto tourists, and In
keeping with the progressive spirit of
other communities. However, no def
mite plans have been adopted and the
discussion still goes on.
Chas. Fulstone, 1t Is reported has
offered to lease to the county for a
term OF years, for the sum of one
dollar, what is known as the Fulstone
hot spring. near Cradelbaughs, to
gether with six acres Of ground or
even more If necessary, to be used
as a public camping ground. With
the expenditure of nominal sum of
mony, the springs and grounds could
be put in proper shape and would
solve the problem of a public camp
ing spot
Although some distance from Gard
nerville and Minden, it would make an
ideal camping ground. In this day Of
automobiles, few miles makes but
little difference, and from the fact
that the Fulstone proposition offers
the free use of most excellent hot
spring for bathing purposes, it is be-
lieved that should the offer be ac-
cepted and the place fixed up, that
it would become most popular with
auto tourists.

STORAGE WATER
To BE RELEASED

The flow of the East Fork of the
Carson river is rapidly diminishing
and this week the river is practically
dry at the bridge near the Lutheran
Church. This is made SO from the
fact that practically of the water for
irrigation Is diverted above that point
At this time there hardly sufficient
water for irrigation purposes and to
relieve the present shortage, the AL
pine Land and Reservoir company
has decided to release the storage
water from their reservoirs next
week in order to save the second crop
of alfalfa and maturing grain crops
The storage water Is to be sold at IS
per second foot and the stockholders
of that company will be given first
opportunity of securing what their
needs require, after which non-mem-
bers will be priviledged to secure
storage water for their crops.
The amount of water stored in the
reservoirs of the Alpine Land and
Reservoir company exceeds that of
former years. owing to extensive en-
largement of the reservoirs last fall,
and In the present water famine.
every drop of the stored water will be
used by the farmers of Carson Valley
most advantageously.

VALUABLE DAIRY
HERDS in NEVADA

The most valuable Holstein bull
and one of the most valuable regis
tered dairy herds ON the Pacific coast
is that owned by H. ]. Long of Fallon.
The bull. King Orms, by Canary Joh-
anna, is valued at $4,000, four of the
dairy herd are valued at 81 900 apiece
and the remainder at $500 apiece, says
the Reno Gazette.
One 3-year-old COW, Carnation Sky
lark Segis, owned by H. ]. Long, that
brought a gross income of $40 per
month to its owner, has broken the
milk-producing record of this state.
according to V. E. Scott, state leader
in dairying of the university extern
sion division.
"The animal produced 2,742.3
pounds of milk and 1925 pounds of
butter in 80 days, averaging GA
pounds of milk and 375 pounds of
butter a day." said Mr.. Scott. "The
milk, sold at Wholesale price of %
cents. brings its owner $40 for the
month, or If retailed 1t would have
brought $165.
Another good record is that of
Tuebie Pietertjt Carren Fidessa, a
9-year-old COW owned by the univer-
sity, which produced 2,411.4 pounds
of milk and SO pounds of butter in
80 days Lady Leola Hengrefeld,
owned by myself, produced 1858
pounds of milk and 81 pounds of but
ter in the same length of time. These
three cows produced enough milk to
supply 81 families two quarts each
day during May. when those records
were made
With the price of feed at its pres
ent high standard, it is going to be
necessary for dairymen to milk less
but better cows. Such cows as the
three mentioned will eat more feed
than the ordinary COW. but they will
not eat nearly SO much as the num-
ber of ordinary cows that it takes to
produce what they do.
During the last 10 years Nevada
has gradually built up her dairy
herds, until now we have a number
of excellent good animals. The Hol-
stein has been the most popular, and
more official tests have been made by
Holstein breeders than by breeders OF
any other stock"
Mr.. Long, who has 160-acre ranch
six miles east of Fallon, brought the
$4,000 bull in Minnesota. He raises
all the feed for his dairy on his own
ranch. He ships his cream to a
creamery at Reno.

URGES GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW
NARROWER HIGHWAYS

Directors of the state highway de-
partment conferred with Governor
Boyle yesterday relative to federal
governments insistence upon a finish
ed roadway at least twenty-four feet
wide in all future highway construct
ion in which federal aid is given, says
the Carson News. This decision has
had the effect of tying up or delaying
a number Of projects proposed under
the Nevada program, and the officials
are putting forth efforts to have the
ruling changed insofar as it affects in
termountain states It is proposed to
have a representative of the bureau
of public roads visit this section of
the union and get flrst-hand knowl-
edge Of conditions where wide road
ways are not required as in the more
congested parts of the union. 1t is
pointed out in this connection that
most of the California roads are only
twenty-one feet wide, and that they
handle a great deal more traffic than
will be seen on most Of Nevada roads
within the next fifty years. The Ne
vada road officials see no necessity
for construction of highawys of a
width wholly out of proportion to the
amount of traffic that will use the
roads of this state

LAKE TAHOE
WAS HIGHER

Lake Tahoe, In California and Ne
yada, is often said to occupy an old
volcanic crater. This is not fact.
II Is true that the region about the
lake shows evidence of volcanic acti-
witty of various kinds and that the
water has at times probably been
damned by outpourings of lava, but
the lake itself lies in structural de-
lpression-a dropped block of the
earth's crust.
The prehistoric Lake Tahoe was
larger and deeper than the present
lake. according to the United States
Geological Survey, Department of the
Interior. During the Neocene epoch
and the earlier part of the Pleistocene
epoch its water stood much higher
than now. but In its overflow 1t has
since cut through the lava dams that
maintained 1t at that height Distinct
beaches that mark the former higher
levels of the lake stand about 100 feet
above its present surface. but the
water doubtless once stood at even
greater height. At Tahoe City the
most distinct of these old beaches Is
q terrace that stands 35 to 40 feet
above the level of the lake II is on
this ancient beach that Tahoe Tavern
is built
