MOONSH|NERY At
TRACKEE WAS BIG

Nevada prohibition enforcement
agents descended on Truckee and in
series of spectacular raids seized
six stills, five of them in operation,
and large quantities of mash, corn
whisky and wine. Three arrests were
made during the officers visit The
a, cused men are Hank Whsle, e. F.
Painter and Pete Venosia. Whsle is
under $4,000 bond to appear before
United States commissioner in Sacra-
mento. Painters bail was fixed at
$1,000 and Venosca was released on
cash bond of $3.50.
In large two-stOry dwelling on
hill back of the main street, the off
GERS found four stills running full
capacity. The "jackess was dripping
from lead and iron coils and $50 GAL
Ions of mash and corn liquor stood
nearby. Wilsio was arrested in con-
nection with the discovery. In an
other residence where c. F. Painter
was placed under arrest, a still was
boiling away on a kitchen stove. An
other still. not in use, was found on
the floor, together with fifty gallons
of mash and three gallons of hootch.

NO APPROPRIATION
FOR FREE SEEDS

Free seeds, with the compliments
of your congressman, have been
''kidded" out of existence. The ag-
ricultural appropriation bill as passed
ture of 100000 for the free distribu-
ton of seeds, but the bill as reported
out by the senate committee was
minus this provision
The original purpose of the free
seed distribution was not so bad. 1t
will be remembered that formerly
the seed packets bore a legend to the
effect that the seeds were selected
with great care from varieties which
the department of H.. agriculture had
under observation. The recipient
was requested to make report of his
success, together with such remarks
as might be deemed valuable. That
is, the department of agriculture pro-
posed to take the people into part
nership and extend its experimental
ton to every part of the country in
the interests of agriculture.
But the method of making the dis
tribution was unfortunate. The
member of congress early saw the
value of the little seed packets in
making them strong with the home
folks. Congress lacked sympathy for
the ideals of the department of ag-
riculture, but it had healthy appre-
citation of political assets. And the
insincerity extended to the selection
and purchase of the seeds. The
charge was frequently made and
never refuted that seedsmen, having
an overstock of doubtful seeds, found
ways of getting rid of them profitably
through the government.
