The completion of the Topaz Lake
storage reservoir last winter marked
ono OF tho milcstoncs Of progress in
Lyon County but the past week has
demonstrated its great value to the
Mason and Smith Valleys and to the
ranchcrs Of the East Walker river.
With the heavy snow falls of last
winter it was predicted by many that
there would be plenty of water for ir-
rigation for every ono but as soon as
the first crop of hay was cut and the
irrigation of the second crop started
the Walker River below Yerington be-
gan to drop very rapidly and it was
soon found that there was not enough
water to take care of the dccreed
rights below Yerington. 1t was then
that Chief Engineer Becmer stepped
to the phone and ordered 200 second
feet Of water turned into the river.
This did not seem to. como down
fast enough SO he ordered an additional
200 second feet turned III and kept on
adding to this AMOUNT until over 600
second feet OF water was boiling out
of the mouth of the tunnel below the
reservoir and when that amount reach

nNnOlD RATES
on ORE REDUCED

Reductions in rates covering the
movement of ore from Nevada points
on the line of the Southern Pacific to
the Utah and California smcltcrs are
about to be established as result of
the action of the Public Service Com
mission Of Nevada A schedule has
been submitted covering various val
ues Of ore ranging from SIS per ton up
to $500 and ofcr, which teh commission
has adopted for publication at the ear
liest date possible, with the understand
ing that in any particular case where
the peculiar circumstances and condi-
tions seem to justify, such other and
further adjustment in the rates as may
be necessary to move the traffic will
be promptly made. Substantial reduce
tions have been made along the main
and branch lines covering Acton car
load rates on values running up to 500
per ton and this is especially true of
40-ton carload rates covering $50 values
and under, which are to be established
carrying reductions in rates upward to
50 per cent. For example the present
rate Of $3.50 covering the movement of
4O-ton carloads of $50 orc from Win
5 nemucca to California smelters is to be
reduced to $3.50 per ton; OH $50 ore
from $6.S7 to $500: on $40 ore and
under from $6.25 to $500 per ton. On
the other hand the present rate of $3.50
covering the movement of 40-ton car
load Of orc from Winncmucca smeltcrs
is to be reduced $3.50; on $50 ore from
$687 to $4.l0. and on $50 orc and under
from $6.25 to $40.
From Nina to California smclters
the present rate of $500 covering the
movement of 40-ton carload of $5C
is to be reduced to $500; on $50 orc
from 81 to $40; and on $50 orc and un
der from 81 to $3.50 per ton.
On ores in excess of $50 per ton the
reduction is made more moderate. The
schedule proposed is designed TO in
crease the tonnage Of low grade ores
with such reductions in the high grade
ores as to enable the high grade pro-
ducers. who can bring their values be-
low the 500 scale to secure the bcne
fit of rate that will make possible the
use of the fire, proSess.ln. extracting
full metallic content OF their ores. IT
!. is believed the scale will accomplish,
this result, while at the same time en-
abling the low grade producers to Sc.
cure the maximum benefit in mining
and shipping their products to the Utah
and California smcltcrs. In addition
to the Southern Pacific adjustment,ac-
tion is under way for the establishment
of through joint rates from the short
line railroads connecting with the South
crn Pacific and Western Pacific lines
for the movement of both low and
high grade ores to the smeltcrs, and in
this connection It is gratifying to be
able to state that all of the short line
carriers have indicated their. willing
ness to concur with the aforesaid trans
continental lines in establishing said
rates for the benefit of the mining in
dustry at the earliest date possible.
Further, in connection with the
movement Of, csEload traffic, provision
is also made fcr tho movemen. OF less
than carload quantities of ore on the
basis of l3O per cent of the carload
rates.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

list. The earliest planting has al
ways given us the best results, and
Ike endeavor therefore to get vetch
seed in the ground by November LIST,
and earlier If practicable.
AS rule we only fertilize this crop
with acid phosphate and potash. Our
practice has been to use 200 pounds
OF acid phosphate and 100 pounds OF
kainit.
We have inoculated the seed from
time to time. If you have never
grown it on your farm before, we
think it will pay you to do this.
Where it has been extensively cult
waited in the past, however, we hard
ly think incubation is necessary.
This institution does not manufac'
ture the culture for vetch inocula-
ton. You can probably secure what
you need for this purpose from the
state department Of agriculture, At.
lanta, Ga. The price varies, Of
course, from time to time. You can
secure this material from CONNER
cial concerns as well. All the large
seed houses in Georgia carry it.

Mother Bear and the Twins, Boxer
and Wool, Spent the Most of
One Moonlight Night There

They were too busy. They simply
kept right on with their work. When
any visitors of whom they had the
yeast fear were about they almost
managed to find work to do UP in
the water. When there were visi
tors Of whom they were not afraid
trimming trees. In fact, they were
rather glad to have Blacky the Crow,
Sammy Jay and Chatterer about, for
though their tongues were noisy
their eyes were sharp and they real
ly were watchmen for Paddy and
Mrs. Paddy, although they did not
know it. You see, the instant one
of them discovered Old Man Coyote
Or one Of the Bear family or Reddy
Fox he instantly made a great rack
ct, as is the way of all three OF
them.
Probably the last Of all the people
living in the Green Forest to visit
that new pond was Prickly Perky
the Porcupine. One moonlight night
he came shutting out of the Black
shadows to the shore Of the new
pond. Paddy saw him at once. II
didn't trouble him at all for, he
knew that Prikly Porky was quite
harmless so long as he was left
alone. In fact, it rather pleased
Paddy to see Prickly Porky there
They were the best of friends.

Our Household

| it out, rubbed salt on and did not
let two pieces touch. The two cold
nights took out the animal heat.
But some people pack it away the
next day.
The method on this place is to
leave it till really cold. This is later
than hogs are killed here, but the
wind did not blow from the right
direc tion to suit The Farmer on
this place. Many told him that he
was making a mistake but we are
not sorry that ours are still able to
eat corn. This Farmer says he will
try to literally cover the face Of
his portion of the earth in soy beans
next year. There never was an
easier or cheaper way to raise hogs
and calves, and to keep all sorts Of
cattle. Our next years meat, now
small pigs, got a good start and the
rye will keep them growing. 1t is
not too late to plant rye. It will
give you green stuff for your
chickens, calves and pigs in the
spring. Don't let anything bother
it till it begins to spread. Then let
them go to it.
Several have lost their papers
containing what I said about saus-
ages. Pack the meat in bags about
four by ten inches after they are
made. Roll the bags after the
sausage is put in as tight as you
can get it. See that no air is left.
You can see the white spots on
the bag, for every air pocket will
mold Hang the bags a week or
more, according to the weather, and
how busy you are. Then have the
parawax or parafine in an old coffee
pot, or clean tin can and pour ali
over each bag and again hang them,
One lady wrote to ask me why l
insisted on the filled bags being
rolled, did round sausages keep
better" If you will stop to think
you will see that not SO much of
the surface is exposed. The center
of circumference is the same in q
rolled sausage, but she puts hers in
a flour sack and makes them two
inches thick-I say, go ahead and do
things your old way If you have
proved that way best, but it's well
to prove some things and then let
judgment be your guide.
Don't fail to make up at least
one head in mince meat. 1 gave you
splendid recipe recently.

give pleasure to some others this
