Government Asks Funds
From Drainage Budget
Right of Way Charge Insisted On By
Secretary Work; Local Board
Will Fight Bureau Order

At regular meeting of the water
users and drainage officers held Mon
day several matters came up that arC
OF vital interest to the project Dur
ing the routine applications for ad
ditional drainage was advanced by
several people, while road work and
other matters were either taken III
or disposed of. An endorsement o.
the fencing of acreage for pasture In
xthe Harmon district was ordered
signed which will go east for bureau
approval before the farmers start
fencing.
For some time the ground, which
is government withdrawal. has been
used for pasture by the people of the
district. In order TO make this a safe
place for pasture the people are ask
ing for the right to fence the same
and thus make it a community OF
section pasture.
Drainage Funds Involved
During the afternoon session the
matter OF drainage and its continu
anee was freely discussed, as Chair
man Vencill had in his possession
considerable correspondence between
himself and Senator oddie and men,
bers of the federal board
During October Secretary Work
through an order 10 the local board
declared that the sum of $4,000 or
its approximate would have to be
aaa aysI a In e.
right of ways through government
lands and other eompensations for
property damaged through the op
GRAFTON of the drain canals.
This has been followed by yolum-
inous correspondence between Mr..
Veneill, Senator Oddie, Secretary
Work and others who have interest
ed themselves in the adjustment OF
this unreasonable claim. The firm
of French, Stoddard & Cook, repre-
senting the project, have also taken
up the matter both personal and le-
gal with the Nevada representatives
and the federal secretary.
On October 6. following extensive
teleeraphic service and correspond
enee Secretary Work informed the
local board that the sum Of $15,-
5000 would have to be deducted
from the drainage construction fund
Since that time every effort has been
made TO have a modification made IN
the order, as the sum takes that
much from the already low drainage
fund that is being conserved to fin
ish all possible work as originally
mapped.

Hester Mills spoke on the project
method in Nature Study. She said
that when such projects were being
worked out, one should have in the
class room window boxes, aquariums
and cages for rabbits and insects.
The project may then be worked out
by observation ON the part of the
student.
Laura Mills spoke on Hygiene ana
Good Health She said that she used
chart upon which she kept a rec
ord of the pupils who had colds dur
ing the winter. After some study of
colds, and stress having been placed
upon prevention of colds, she dis
covered very marked improvement
in the health of the children, and in
their ability to work. She recon-
mended to all teachers the use of a
publication called "Hygeia" She said
that many good pointers concerning
hygiene and health can be gotten
from this magazine.
The following resolutions were
presented and adopted at the con-
elusion of session:
Resolved. that we favor the ap-
pointment of representative of the
high schools in each supervision dis.
trict by the district deputy superin-
tendent to form a committee on high
school relations whose duty 1t shall
be to confer with all the high schools
of the respective districts as to needs
of adjustment of university entrance
requirements and matters pertaining
to standards. requirements and re-
lations between the high schools and
the university, in order that the high
schools may be able to serve to the
fullest possible degree their respect
i've communities.
Resolved, that we ask that action
be taken at the next meeting of the
Nevada State Educational Associa.
tion to form a representative assemb-
ly within the association consisting
of representatives of the elementary
teachers, high school teachers, prin-
cipals and snperintendents, and par
ent-teacher associations, on some
equitable basis as to the number OF
representatives from each county, so
that the teachers of the state may
bear a larger share in the RESPONSE
bilities that rest upon them for the
promotion of sound educational con-
ditions and so that they may be In a
position to aid in the formation and
execution of state plans for school
organization and support.
Report of the Resolutions Committee
Whereas, the teachers of the third
supervision district have been assem-
bled in their regular biennial session
for transaction of business; and,
Whereas, large number of In
structors have come to inspire and
instruct by their lectures and demon
stations, and,
Whereas, all the local civic organi-
zatious and others have so freely CO.
operated to make a successful ses-
sion;
Be it resolved that letters of
thanks and appreciation be sent to
these same organizations and to all
persons who have helped to make
the session successful, and.
Be 1t further resolved that the
same expression of thanks be made
TO all instructors who have talked
before the teachers in both the gem
eral and the sectional meetings.

Gave Right of Way

1t was shown that during the pro.
gress Of drain work that the private
holders or project people have witt
one exception given right of way Il
the community, and 1t was NATURAL,
supposed that the government wal
as liberal as the people. II has al
ways been understood that the gov
ernment was not to enter any charge
for the ground traversed by drainage
IN order to get to the next land
holder. In some instances farms
have been practically cut in two AMI
no charge has been fixed against the
government or the district The ar
bitrary action of Secretary Work
seems without reason.
interiors With Program
In discussing the result of this
ruling from Washington Project
Manager Richardson stated that
should the deduction be made that Il
would materially hamper the finish
Ing of the drainage program. Calcu-
lations have been made with this sum
enrolled, and should 1t be taken out
1t leaves that much short on the con-
templated work as mapped by Engi-
neer Walker.
Protests Order
Before adjournment the members
Of the association parsed a resolu-
tion protesting the order and it IS
hoped that the matter can be taken
Up Immediately ard the relief sought
from this overeharge be granted. In
case the federal department refuses
to make the concession IL is likely
that an injunction will be issued and
that the matter will be taken TO
court.
Il Is anticipated that drainage
work viii end during December. An
effort is 10 be made to secure funds
to carry on some of the necessary
finals to perfect the system. II such
funds can be secured 1t Will take care
Of the major portion of the project
and 1t has been shown that the work
can be accomplished at a less sum
than at any time in the future. pro-
Yiding there is no shut down, which
would result In the loss OF the drag
line men and others who are trained
in part Of the service. 1t has been
hoped that the men from the depart
ment who are to visit the project
can be here in time to see the neces
slty of future drainage and also take
up the matter of the right of way
deductions.

Hoeing costs as well as thinning.
depend very much on how foul the
land is. A heavier growth of weeds
increases the cost of thinning ma
terially. The hauling is figured at
so cents for the first mile and 20
cents per mile thereafter.
As you know farming costs are
dependent upon many factors. such
as the weather, physical condition Of
the soil, crop raised last year, etc.
However, this is a fair basis"
Sugar beets in Nevada will pro-
duce more sugar per acre than Call

eral, state and local statistics. Dur
ing the years that beets were raised
in this valley a careful record was
maintained at the factory of the pur-
ity and sugar contents. This record
is available to any one who cares to
call at the local office.
In one instance the per cent of
purity ran as high as 81, while sugar
contents was 204. In practically
every instance the averages were
above those of any other section.
the entire average during the time
of tests made at the factory showed
a purity of S6.5 and sugar contents
of 20.7. The average over the United
States is s3.9 for purity and a sugar
test of 17.77. The California aver
age of the several factories operat-
ing on sugar beets is S1.4 for purity
tests and 1873 per cent of sugar
Samples from cars coming from
Wabuska, Mason, valley, carried the
same high contents both in purity
and sugar values. This, it is pointed
out brings a higher net return to
Nevada beet growers than any Sec
tion In America.
Estimate Costs Per Acre
As California is in the business Of
raising beets as a profit business, the
following table of costs per acre OF
raising sugar beets in the Sacrament
to valley is of interest to those of
this section. The calculations were
made by Mr.. Olsen, general manager
of the Holland Land Company:
"The following is a fair estimate
of the cost of raising a 15-ton crop
of sugar beets, per acre, on the Hol-
land Land Project:
