The Proverbial
Mess of Pot
tage
Wise Californians Come Over Here
And Coax Values From Our
Project Farmers

For many years 1t has been the
habit of California people to come
to Nevada and buy needful things
at low prices and with a eornering
OF the commodity proceed to multi
ply the selling price by two or even
three, exacting a shylockian profit
whenever they gained the control.
Last year California buyers grabbed
the visible Nevada potato supply and
then proceeded to quadruple the
price. In our earlier history they
took our gold and silver and build
ed great edifices in the California
metropolis which were showplaces
for sightseers for generations.
The native sons, however, in their
long career of milking Nevada nev-
er more grossly imposed upon HUI
man credulity and blandness than
during late weeks when they have
been taking the very lifeblood out of
this community. thanks to the lack
of understanding of local people
who have failed to sense the true
value of large stocks OF fertilizer
that have accumulated in corrals
throughout recent years as stock
from Neyada's ranges were fed and
fattened here.
The narrator has kept a careful
tab on outgoing shipments of ma
nure during the last two months
and finds that 125 carloads of this
valuable commodity have been ship
ped to points In central and south
ern California. The freight rate to
central California points is s4.40
per ton and to southern California
$3.50, and 1t is superfieous to add
that the California buyers find it
highly profitable to buy the COM
modify from our local farmers at
$1.00 per load. pay carriage to and
from stations and recompense the
railroad company for the haul. 1t
Is asserted by those familiar with
soil rejuvenation that a ton of this
class of fertilizer is actually worth
restored to the soil not less than
$500, yet local traffickers in this
seem to be deplorably rusty on the
subject of soil fertilization and what
IL means to the individual and the
community.
Figuring the 1900 tons of ferti-
lizer that has been passed on to
California people at local selling
figure of s1.00 per ton we find that
our farmers have sold what is actu-
ally worth to this valley s37, 500
for the paltry sum of $500. Truly
birthright for the proverbial mess
of pottage.
California alfalfa growers have
long fertilized their fields regularly
each season. They find that an in
creased hay yield results and the
process Is so profitable, everything
figured. that they deem 1t expedient
and a matter of good business to
come over here and cheat us out OF
possession and pay haulage costs
and dealers profits.
The moral of this story: Last
year we sold our spuds to Cali
fornia buyers at nominal price
and later In the season bought them
back at dime a pound and will we
not In due season find ourselves
similarly yictimized by the fertilizer
traffic now being carried on?

Railroad Motor Order Recalls Cele-

quarters was paralleled here the
other day when it was announced
that the motor service between Fal.
ION and Reno was to be discontin.

quickly following the announce.
ment came a retraction stating that
a change had taken place in the
minds OF the powers that be and
that the motor would continue as
usual, at least until further notice.
And thereby hangs a tale. AS
soon as the notice was posted, the
Falion Commercial Club got inouisi-
lively busy with the Public Service
Commission at Carson City and
wanted to know How Conner" The
Public Service Commission replied
that II didn't know, but would find

railroad circles made the mistake of
believing that Fallon would tamely
submit to whatever they decreed
But there Is regular procedure to
be gone through with before a IL
eensed public carrier can cease oper-
ations.
Recently two auto stage lines
that were operating to give this
community the service that had
been denied IL by the railroad COM
pany have filed their requests with
the Public Service Committee for
permission to cease operations, due
to the overwhelming competition of
the recently installed motor service.
Following so closely on the with
drawal or the auto stages, the ord
er of the railroad company to dis
continue its motor service shows us
Just what we may expect as soon as
the condition of the roads makes
auto competition difficult or impos-
sible and 1t behooyes the people of
Fallon through the Commercial
Club or somebody authorized to
speak for the community to prepare
a protest TO be presented to the
Public Service Commission against
the denial OF proper service to this
section.
Under conditions as they existed
prior to the installation of the mo-
tor the. mail arrived here at noon
tif the train was on time, which il
frequently was not), making II i'm

Travellers contemplating a trip to
Reno we're forced to stay two nights
in Reno in order TO transact a couple

The people of Churchill county
contend that the importance of this
section as a point OF origin for

given to the railroad from the New

POLICE DOGS OF OLD

The present wave of crime has giv- en an impetus in Great Britian to the training of dogs for police purposes
 Police dogs were used to assist in bringing the breaker of laws to jus tice before the word police was ever known.
 In older days bloodhounds were used on the borders of Scotland in certain districts infested by murder CTS and robbers. and a tax was laid on the inhabitants for maintaining them; also there was a law in Scot land that whoever denied entrance to one of these dogs should be treated as an accessory to the crime.
 In later days, but still before the establishment of police forces, several associations for the prosecutions of felons procured and trained blood hounds, principally for the detection of sheep stealers. But after the ''peel- err came into existence the canine .'gobby' suffered eclipse for time and it was on the continent that his valuable services were first rediscov- cred.
 The training of these dogs calls for a large amount of patience, intelli- gence and resource, far removed from the old idea of dog breaking. which was usually to beat the animal mer- cilessly into the observance of few set rules.
 It is step by step in his daily les sons that dog gradually becomes a tracker of criminals by their scent, pursues escaping prisoners. discovers missing people, or find. suspected ones in concealment.
 He learns fearless1y to seizdMhnd pull down any aggressor. whether his master or himself be attacked, and to do it with the least possible damage ceasing at once when the enemy gives in.
 The popular conception of the po- lice dog is wild, savage brute, which probably accounts for the antipathy

PARASITES KILL THE PLANT
 LICE

Damage to cotton by the cotton louse or cotton aphis, which threat ened the cotton crop of Polk county during the cool damp season recently, is being checked now by the natural parasites of the cotton louse, accord ing to w. J. Baerg. entomologist of the College of Agriculture, Universi- ty of Arkansas.
 MT. Baerg was called to Polk coun- ty by the County Agent. o. L. Hen derson, to investigate the cause of in- jury to cotton. MT. Baerg found that cotton had been dying of plant lice. but that warm weather and par asites had killed the lice and cotton plants which were not entirely dead were beginning to revive. With the fair and warm weather continuing, no further severe damage will be done by the plant lice.
 The parasites which kill the plant lice are a small wasp and the well known ladybird beetles. The female wasp deposits eggs in the body of the plant lice. From these eggs hatch small maggots that feed on the body contents of the lice with the result that the lice die when the. maggots are fully grown. A hole can be seen in the abdomen of the dead lice where the parasite has emerged as an adult wasp.
 Ladybird beetles are familiar in the adult stage but are not so well known in the larvae and pupal stages. The larvae is fat-bodied. spindle shaped, one-fourth inch in length. and red and black in color The larvae prey upon plant lice just as do the adults. When grown the larvae fas- ten themselves to a leaf or lower part of the plant and go into the pupal or resting stage. The resting stage lasts from three to five days when the adult beetle appears. The pupal are oval in shape and black and red in color.

FARMERS REQUIRE ACCURATE DATA ON MARKET CONDI-
 TIONS

Travelling by faith rather than by sight has sometimes been recommend ed as wise policy, but produce growers used to find it frequently and might fly disastrious when they followed it perforce before the establishment of the Crop and Market Reporting Ser vice of the United States Department of Agriculture. Of course, a few of them are still following the faith sys- tenn of growing and marketing be- cause they have not seen fit to use the eyes furnished them by the Gov ernment reporting service, and these are still planting, gathering, and mar keting at random. But the majority are looking around and ahead, seeing what other sections are doing, finding where any shortage or surplus is likely to be produced, ascertaining special advantages or disadvantages ill consuming cen.ers, aft generally getting forecast of the market from crop and other conditions the country over. Thus the more farsighted southern potato growers take into .ac- count the volume and probable move ment of the northern crop and the amount of the old crop likely to be left over until spring. Even the northern growers may put in a late acreage and top-dress the crop if the general situation suggests shortage caused by reduced acreage or by a hard spring frost in parts of the northern territory.

RICE A BONANZA CROP

The development of the Arkansas
 ice industry from 400 acres in 1905 to 170000 acres in 1918. is without
 ,arallel in the history of this crop in America. In nine years Arkansas jumped from place of no importance
 Il rice production to third in the union
 n quantity, second in yield per acre. first in quality and first in profit per acre to the growers.
 The value of the 1919 Arkansas crop was $14,7S9,OOO. The average value per acre to the grower was S93.60.
 Large areas in this section of the country fifteen years ago were con- sidered practically worthless. The
 and would not make profitable crops of corn, cotton or vegetables. Owing to the nature of the soil, native grass es suitable for grazing did not offer sufficient inducement to livestock men to encourage cattle raising The Grand Prairie section of the State was 4npromising indeed before it was dis covered that the soil and climate were ideal for rice.
 The typical rice soil of Arkansas is , silt loam, which contains approx1- mately 69 per cent silt, 23 per cent olov and four nor oon+ o ox,oooJ;u,.l,, fine sand. Of course this proportion of component parts varies in different counties, and even in the same county. The soil is rather tight and runs to- gether when plowed too wet. The top soil is 12 to 36 inches deep. The subsoil of Arkansas rice land is characteristic. It lies Is to 24 inch es under the surface. The principle constituent is clay of various colors, ranging from blue to yellow. The subsoil is tight and almost impervious to water.
 Therefore it is evident that Arkan- sas rice growers have as nearly an ideal soil as it is possible to find The surface soil contains enough sand and silt to cultivate easily, and yet suffi- cient clay to hold it together and pre- vent rapid evaporation On the other hand the subsoil is not so far beneath the surface as to require an excessive quantity of water to saturate the in- tervening layer. Furthermore the subsoil is impervious to water and once the fields are flooded there is little loss of water except by evapora- tion.
 Water is applied to rice when the plants are five or six inches high. Only two or three inches of water is used while the plants are young. The quantity of water, however, is slowly increased until it is about five inches deep, and so maintained throughout the growing season.
 Rice is grown in seventeen counties in Arkansas. Of course in some coun- ties. more or less experimental work is needed to put the business on a suc- cessful basis. Growers must learn the requirements of the crop and equip themselves to handle it.
 There is no doubt about the further expansion of the rice crop in Arkansas and there still remain thousands of acres of land similar to the region where rice now grows that will even tually be added to the area now in cultivation.
