TO MAKE NEVADA
LIKE THE SAHARA

With his eleven San Francisco
agents having scored thirty-one places
raided and participation in sixty-one
arrests in the first four days of his
tenure of office, John Exnicos, newly
appointed supervising federal prohibl-
tion agent, has announced his inten-
tion of making all California as much
of Sahara desert as he expects
San Francisco to be within ten days.
Leaving San Francisco with a
picked squad. Exnicos says he will
sweep California dry from one end
to the other inside of a MONTH"
After l have made California arid,
will proceed Systematically through
Oregon, Washington, and Nevada" de-
clared Exnicos. Il have already COM
municated my plans to the commits
sioner at Washington. assuring him of
my purpose to enforce the prohibition
law absolutely in the West, and he has
approved.
Exincos' plan of retaining in his
service only the agents who EFFECT ar
rests" as announced in San Francis
CO, will be enforced in all the four
states under his jurisdiction, he stated
recently.
Il believe my San Francisco force
now knows that l want something do
ing all the time, SO | have decided to
go out into the country and put pep
into the outside men. Whether will
swing north or south on my initial
trip into the rest of the state, | do not
care to state"
An innovation in the prohibition en-
forcement office was made by the new
chief when he appointed a special
clerk to check up on all arrests and
the activities of each of his enforce
ment crew and make daily reports to
him.
"If accomplish what expect" Ex-
nicos said. there won't be a boot
logger, blindpigger. or moonshiner op-
Grating in the Western states at the
end of ninety days"

GRAZING FEE MAY
GET DEFERMENT

Deferment by the government of the
payment of grazing fees In the West
for the use of national forests. In or
der to tighten the burden of Western
counties, Is provided in bill reported
favorably by Chairman Haugen of the
House committee on Agriculture.
Practically all grazing fees are nor
mally payable between February /
and June 80. The grazing fees for
the fiscal year 1920 amounte dto $2,-
4S6,040. An equal amount is antici-
pated during the current year. The
grazing fees paid up to April l have
fallen off SIN per cent as compared
with the preceding year. which would
indicate that the permittees are taking
advantage Of the option to defer pay
ments to this extent On this basis
the deferred grazing receipts-nor-
mally due prior to July / and they
would normally be credited to the
fiscal year Of 1921-will be deferred tc
the extent of $2.175,2s5. II the de-
ferred grazing fees are credited to the
fiscal year 1921 approximately $544. .00C
of local county revenue will be de-
ferred one year beyond the date when
normally due. This is an important
source OF income to many western
counties, which depend upon 1t for
current school expenditures and the
construction and maintenance Of coun-
ty roads. and the failure to credit the
deferred grazing fees to the fiscal year
1921 will create serious hardship to
counties not meeting current obliga.
tions for schools and roads in many
cases.

WILL PLAY FALLON
HERE ON SUNDAY

On the Gardneryille diamond next
Sunday, the home team will try con-
clusions with the Fallon nine and ex-
pect to regain the honors which they
lost in a recent game played at Fal-
Ion with the project nine. In the
Fallon game the Gardnerville team
played good game and only lost the
game through errors. They expect to
overcome this deficiency before Sun
day and declare that they will break
the evil spell that has hovered over
the valley team his season, and bring
home the bacon
The ball games this season have not
been very largely attended, and it
would please the local team to see a
big crowd out next Sunday and give
encouragement by their presence.

DREAD 'REDWATER'
MAY BE PREVENTED
Disease Which Has Caused Untold
Losses Among Cattle May Be
Eliminated by Treatment
Now Being Perfected

Redwater. a disease peculiar to
cattle, and which has resulted in
heavy losses to stockmen in this part
OF Nevada, may be successfully COM
batted through a newly discovered
vaccine, according to recent state
ments made by veterinarians This
disease has baffled veterinarians fol
years and as yet no successful pre-
ventive has been found. However,
recent laboratory tests have been
made with new vaccine. and it Is be-
lieved that through its use the disease
can be checked.
During the past week or so veteri-
narians from the University of Ne
vada, assisted by DR.. II. F. Baker of
this place, have vaccinated a large
number of stock in sections where
previous outbreaks have occurred. The
animals thus treated have been
marked and a close watch is to be
kept. Even though the new vaccine
does not act as a complete preven-
tatiye, but shows signs of at least
curbing the disease, it will prove that
the new treatment has merit and the
improvement which will then be
worked out, will curb the disease en-
tirely.
The loss to stockmen through red
water has been exceedingly heavy dur
ing the past several years and much
interest is being displayed in the new
treatment which, it is hoped. viii
prove successful in the prevention OF
the disease.

CENSUS BLUNDERS
CONTINUE TO SHOW
Discrepancies In Taking Last Census
Result In Large Decrease Being
Shown In Irrigated Land In
1921 In This State

The 1920 census figures show a 1876
per cent decrease in the irrigated
acreage In the state the past ten years
a decrease in population; decrease in
live stock, etc.
& What such figures are worth sta
tistically may be gagged by the re-
ported irrigated acreage in Washoe
county. The 1910 census gave the ir-
rigated area as 50,904 acres, which
was probably correct for that year.
The 1920 census discovered only 2S,-
sol acres irrigated. In other words,
some 22,1O3 acres less than ten years
before.
The palpable error of the 1920 re-
turns is demonstrated by the fact that
in the single Truckee Valley immedia-
tely about Reno. more than 32,500
acres have been irrigated every year
for the past many years, or 300 acres
more than the census enumerators
found in the entire county. To this
Immediately visible acreage may be
added $4,000 acres more in Washoe
and Pleasant Valleys, south of Reno,
1000 acres irrigated between Vista and
Pyramid Lake, and at least 10000
acres of irrigated lands in the remain
der of the country north to the Ore
gon boundary.
The only counties credited with a
gain are Churchill, Elko, Lyon, and
Ormsby. At least $4,000 acres OF this
loss, unknown to the census enumera-
tors, still continues to be irrigated In
Washoe county. Pershing and Hum
Doldt counties which. combined in the
one county of Humboldt, in 1910,
showed 207,753 irrigated acres. had
shrnnk to total for both counties of
but 81 ,512 acres in 1920, loss of 1885,
241 irrigated acres. or more than sixty
per cent. Where is this vast aban-
doned irrigated acreage In Humboldt
and Pershing counties? 1t would seem
that an area equivalent to five town
ships. irrigated In 1910 and gone back
to nature In 1920. would be visible to
the ordinary observer
Douglas County, with reported
decrease of s769 acres of irrigated
lands In the ten-year period, affords
another example of the unreliability
of the 1920 census figures. All these
irrigated lands are within the single
Carson Valley with the exception of
a small acreage Il Jacks Valley. II
Is a matter both of common knowl-
edge and of official record in the
state engineers office that there has
been no decrease In irrigated irea, but
on the other hand, some increase since
1910. Yet the census figures show a
27.2 per cent shrinkage.
Despite the census figures, there has
occurred no abandonment of irrigated
lands in Nevada. More lands are un-
der cultivation in the state today than
ever before in its history. and there
has been a constant annual increase In
the reclaimed area.

large meeting, and as there is a very
long program, m members who wish to be

will be before the Club, are asked to
be little more than punctual.
There have been so many express
sions relative to the moving our library

books would be available to- greater
| number of readers, that all members
| are esked to inform themselves before
the next meeting, as to a room that
could be secured by our Club as read

would be much good result from
more general use of our books, and
t lis is really the object of having a lib-
rarY. There are constantly new books
being given to US, and if we could have
greater result from this branch cf
our Club activity. we might feel great

One of our members has discovered
cure for the troubles that come to
young turkeys. She IS giving this
discovery to the Club. O1t of forty

we'll as those who have friends who are
watching over broods of these delicate
young birds, will be glad indeed that
something has been found to relieve
the great trouble, in this most difficult
branch of the poultry business.
The arrangements for the Fair, and
the many activities for our Club during
the days of the Fair, are being light

the members to the reqlest in last

decided on what they will send In. try
to find expression for their interest and
