COUNTY AGENT TILLER
ADVISES COTTON GROWERS
To the Farmers and Business
Men of Chesterfield County:

To the Farmers and Business
Men of Chesterfield County:
AS l am entering again upon the
work of Demonstration Agent for
this county, l thought | would write
few lines to the different papers in
the county and outline the particula i
line of work that we will put before
the people at this time.
At this particular season every far
mer should be planning his opera
tions for next year. Owing to the un-
usual conditions that have been
brought about by the drop in the
price of cotton, it seems that no one
either banker, merchant or farmer
seems to know what to do at
this time. Now there is no line of
business that can afford to stand idle
and see what is going to happen. This
is especially true of the farmer. We
have got to act now or we can never
overcome the troubles that we have
as farmers.
1t is useless for anyone to say that
the farmers were not warned, not
only the first of this year, but for
ages, to adopt system of safe farm
ing. We did not heed this warning,
hoping in vain that the price of cot
ton would hold up. The farmer has
put into this crop every cent that he
has made in the last four years. and,
in a great many instances, all that he
could borrow. | can say that in this
county there was less acreage plant
ed 20 food stutTs this year than in any
year in twenty. We have not put our
money into food crops; it has been
put INTO the present cotton crop, of
which | am afraid large portion,
probably 30 per cent, will be the
field the first day of January, and
with unfavorable weather, the first
day Of March.
Now We are mad with all the mill
people, the banking system, the spec
ulators and nearly every other bust
ness interest. Have we ever looked
INTO our own affairs to see where we
have placed ourselves after being con-
tlnualiy warned? Can we blame any
one but ourselves? | can truthfully
say, no we can't
Now, getting down to business,
what are we going to do about it?
Now there can be no argument
about there being more money in all
cotton as against enough food stuff
and feed to run every farm and then
all the cotton you can grow and gath
er. The position which you have plac-
ed yourselves in at this moment prove
that.
Now, in regard to future opera
tons, and | want to say right here
that at no time has the Department
of Agriculture ut Washington or the
Extension Forces in this State, or any
other State, ever advised the cotton
farmer to quit growing cotton and go
go into live stock or any other one
business, as it would be equally dis.

there is not man with any amount OF
good common sense but that will say
so too.
want to say to the ones who are IL
able to lose their heads that every
thing has not gone and will not go to
the dogs. Do your part and every
thing will come out right in time.
What is your part?
Nearly everyone who has made a
crop this year has put not only the
earnings of the last four years into
it, but in many instances has borrow
ed to the limit on it from the local
bank. And the money has been spent.
This money was borrowed with the
understanding that it was to be paid
back this fall, some due October l
and some later.
Here is where your part comes in.
You have placed yourself in the hands
of your banker. 1t is your sworn duty
to do your utmost to satisfy him. do
not believe there is bank in the coun-
ty that will not meet you half way, or
even two-thirds of the way. So look
about and see where you stand.
Don't sell all your cotton. Put it in
your nearest warehouse and protect
yourself and those whom you owe.
And what are you to do to protect
yourself against this same thing hap
pening again?
We have been so busy during this
year with the big cotton crop, buy
ing high-price fertilizer, feed and
food to make it with, that we havn't
thought much Of the future. Cotton
has gone down and no food has been
grown to feed on another year, ex-
cept what has been grown in the
North and West, and which you must
buy with cheap cotton money. We
have bought the rope, tied the knot
and placed our heads in it and we
can rest assured the other fellow will
do the pulling.
Right now is the time to make our
plans for next years crop.
Every farmer should put in at
least five acres of oats to the plow
and they should be put in not later
than November 15, by the last of Oc-
tober if possible.
In the case of wheat | should say
that every farmer with family
should raise enough wheat to feed his
family. Wheat should be put in dur
ing November.
AS to the cover crop: We too fire.
Qucntly lose sight of the condition in
which we leave our land during the
winter, especially cotton land. Every
acre, if possible, should be seeded to
rye, oats or any other crop that will
put on a green cover during the win
ter and furnish a winter pasture.
This cover crop should be put in as
early as possible. You should follow
your picking with a large sweep or
harrow. This will protect your soil
from washing. We have urged every
farmer to prepare a small plot of
land near the lot for a permanent
pasture. This should consist of Bcr-
muda grass and Burr Glover. This
can be done any month in the year.
Get your grass roots and put them in
the soil any time, covering them deep
in the winter and shallow in the sum-
mer. You can put in the Burr Glover
seed at ANY time but August and Sep
tembcr are the best months.
Now, some will say that the farmer

HIGH PRESSURE IS
READY FOR FIRES

Announcement is made by Superin-
tendent Gilman of the Water & Light
Company today that the new high
pressure water system is complete
and ready for use in case of fire. A
small switch installed in the fire sta
tion needs only to be turned to re-
lease half a million gallons of water
stored in new reservoir located at
a point in the hills south of Winne-
mucca sufficiently higher than the
altitude of this city to put gravity
pressure behind the firemen's hose
which will require more than one
man to hold it.
Eighty pounds was the pressure
asked for when work was started on
the new reservoir and mains, but Gill
man says precautions have been taken
to insure considerably higher pres
sure at the hydrants. In addition to
the gravity pressure. If necessary, the
new pumps at the river wells may be
started and these are capable of de-
veloping $50 pounds pressure.

W|NNEMUCCA FLU
IS CALLED A JOKE

Winnemucca seems to have been a
trifie hasty in its influenza scare this
year. No other city in Nevada has SO
far reported influenza in epidemic
form. In fact the only other reports
in this state are three cases at Elko
and "a few" at Ely.
Yesterday there were six new cases
reported to Sheriff Springer's Office by
physicians of Humboldt county and
today nine new cases. These bring
the grand total of cases reported to
ninety-six.
One Winnemucca physician, whose
name is left out because of "advertis-
ing" reasons. said this morning he
had treated forty so-called influenza
cases and every one of the persons
i'll are now convalescent He also
said: ITO compare the illness now
being called influenza in Winnemucca
with the influenza of last year is a
joke. 1t is nothing more nor less
than the grippe, which we have been
treating for years"
Superintendent John Rogers of the
county hospital reports all patients
as getting along fine" He says there
is only one case of pneumonia in the
hospital and that is young man who
was taken off Southern Pacific train
the other night in an advanced stage
of the disease He is expected to re-
cover.
