INSPECT METHOD
OF HANDLING
HAY CROP

Reese Jenkins, who owns and
operates extensive farm property In
Honey Lake Valley, Lassen county,
Cal, was visitor to Minden this
week for the purpose of investigating
haying methods on the Dangberg
ranches. During the past few years,
because of labor shortage, drastic
changes in the manner of handling
hay have not only been adopted on
the Dangberg, but other Carson Val
ley ranches as we'll.
Some years go alfalfa hay was rak-
ed with revolving rakes, and bunch
ed by hand. The side delivery rake
has replaced old'.foot- warmers but
the latter, now rigged with wheels, is
used for punching. This method
has brought about a big saving in
labor On the Dangberg ranches, the
derrick fork has been displaced with
nets, two being used for each load,
greatly lessening the time in trans
ferring hay from the wagon to the
stack. A few years ago the Dang
berg company made a radical change
in the form of stacking, and instead
of the bench style for the round
stack Less labor is required in
stacking, more hay goes into stack.
it is easiery to feed in the winter
and sheds moisture better than the
old style This form of stacking as
been generally adopted by alfalfa
growers of Carson Valley.
In order to care for the extra
weight in the net system, it has been
necessary to rebuild hay derrick and
materially strengthen the timber to
stank the extra strain.
On many of the Carson Valley
farms, automatic hay leaders have
been adopted with more or less sue
cess and all in all the modern meth
DDS now in use in handling hay has
materially reduced the labor require
ment which has been serious handi-
cap In harvesting hay in Carson Val
ley during the past few years.
Farmers of other sections have
been frequent visitors to this COM
munity during the past few weeks in
vestigating the fundamentals neces-
sary to successful handling of al
falfa hay.

OUT;
2 GUARDS FIRED

Ralph F. Wesley, prisoner at the
state penitentiary escaped Friday
afternoon and has not been recaptur-
ed and as result of his escape
George Decker and Ed Golightly were
discharged as prison guards by
Warden Thomas Salter. says the
Carson Appeal
Wesley, who was serving from one
to five years for second degree burgl-
airy in Churchill county, is thought to
have made his way to freedom
through the roof of the machine shop.
His absence was not reported for
some time.
Salter stated that the old machine
shop which was built in the exterior
prison yard had been dismantled
and Wesley with another prisoner was
placed at work in the new machine
shop which is situated adjacent but
within the enclosure. A hole from
which four other prisoners had es-
capped several weeks ago was still
open in the roof and the door was
without bolt.
The warden said that he instructed
Guard Golightly in the morning to
have hasp and lock provided for the
door and when it was not done, re-
reated the instructions in the after
noon. Guard Decker was given a
chair on the roof adjacent to the
opening and was charged with
watching Wesley Salter said Decker
admitted that when he was warned
to look for Wesley shortly before 3
o'clock he made no report, although
Wesley had already departed. Deck
er made no report until lookup time
which is 4:30 o'closk in the after
noon.

BASEBALL GAME
HERE SUNDAY

The Bridgeport baseball team is
anxious to prove to the world that
it can not only beat the Gardnerville
team on the Fourth of July but on
any other date or day named and as
consequence of their convictions,
the Mono county team will come to
Gardnerville Sunday and endeavor to
repeat the achievement attained at
Bridgeport on the Fourth of July.
The Gardnerville ball team is not
SO enthusiastic over the skill of the
Bridgeporters in the great American
game and feel certain that they can
trim their neighbors with neatness
and dispatch. However, the home
team, it is taken, realities the fact
that it has a hard game, and for the
past few nights have been out on the
diamond practicing and endeavoring
to develop a number of Babe Ruth's
for Sundays game.
The Bridgeport boys are good
sports and have number of excellent
players on their team. They have
the solid support of their community
and no doubt will be backed up by
a big crowd of rooters from Mono
county.
The Gardnerville team will be
somewhat strengthened for the COM
ing game through a number of the
old players that could not find it
possible to go to Bridgeport on the
Fourth and the game promises to be
one of hard fought rivalry by the
opposing teams, both being bent on
winning.
The game will be played on the
high school diamond and in all
probability will be the only ball
game played here this season. A
good crowd, therefore, should be in
attendance.

ROSS WINDING
UP BANK AFFAIRS

Gilbert Ross, state bank examiner,
who has assumed charge of the af-
fairs of the defeunct State Bank &
Trust company in accordance with
an order of Judge G.. A. Ballard of
the first judicial district, stated Sat-
urday that list of old depositors to
whom dividends were previously de-
clared has been prepaid and copies
will be sent broadcast throughout the
state in an effort to locate them, says
the Reno Gazette.
These dividends amount to approx
mately $4,000, and, according to Mr..
Ross, the affairs of the bank cannot
be closed until liquidationn has been
completed. Another step toward wind
ing up the affairs of the company
has been taken by the bank examiner
in arranging compromise in litiga-
tion over certain stock formerly held
by the Sullivan Bank & Trust Com
pany and later by the State Bank &
Trust company as trustee, so that the
Scheeline Banking & Trust company
has been discharged as the latest
trustee.
Mr.. Ross has received from Frank
Wildes, the receiver, check for
$500, representing amounts drawn
for salary by Wildes in excess of the
amount allowed by Judge Ballard.
Wildes paid himself a salary at the
rate of $333.33 per month and this
was based on rulings by former
Judge Langan on previous salary ac-
counts, but after Judge Ballard as
sumed the bench in the first district
he cut the allowance and directed
Wildes to pay back the difference.

FIRE AT EAST
RANCH MONDAY


Fire Monday night damaged a
brlck building on the Dangberg East
ranch to the extent OF $4,000 and Is
believed to have started from de-
fectiye wiring.
The fire was discovered shortly
after midnight and a call was put
IN Tor the Minden chemical engine
which made the run or mile 10
the ranch In quick time. However
the engine did not function properly
and a call was sent to Gardneryille
for fire-hghting equipment, but the
siren was not sounded The chemical
engine was driven by Jim Fisher
while A. w. II. Helberg, who had
Just returned from San Francisco.
took charge of the motor pump. Ar
riying at the East ranch, the
chemical was used to hold the fire
In check, while a stream of water
was run from a distant ditch for the
pump. The fire had made con
siderable headway between the roof
and ceiling of the mems house and
was difficult to fight. However.
after water was secured for the
pump. the flames were quickly ex-
tinguished.
J. b. Dangberg, of the II. r. Dang
berg Land & Livesock company,
states that the building was as near
ly fire proof as possible to build a
structure, and when he was notified
by the telephone operator that the
building was on fire, doubted her
statement She assured him that
such was the case. however, and he
lost no time in getting TO the ranch
from his Minden home.
He has urged the Record Courier
to acknowledge the appreciation of
the Dangberg company for the splend-
Id work of those that gave assistance
In saving the building, and especially
made mention of the efficiency of the
Gardneryille motor pump.

DRASTIC GRAZING
CHANGES ASKED

Drastic changes in grazing condi-
lions on the federal forests reserves
may be forestalled by the pleas of a
committee of six representatives of
Western stock raising states, which
committee placed its case before
forest reserve officials and II. c. Wal
lace. secretary of agriculture, at
Denver last Monday and Tuesday, ac-
cording to Vernon Metcalf, secretary
of the Nevada Livestock Association
and a member OF the committee of
six Mr.. Metcalf returned to Reno
Monday and reported progress of a
kind which he believes will ultimate
Ily result In relief for the cattle and
sheep growers OF this and western
states.
Nothing was actually granted, nor
will such be the case until an order
Is issued by the secretary, but the
committee, Metcalf explains, was vir-
tua,ly assured that the forest service
officials will recommend most OF the
changes asked for Technical changes
In grazing regulations we're approved
in about thirty instances, Metcalf
said, and he hopes to see an order
soon which will put them in effect
Secretary Wallace appeared at the
hearing only a short time and prom
ised he would do whatever he could
to make the road of the stock and
sheep raisers a little easier.
The livestock and sheep men need
the grazing privileges in the forest
reserves and they are now paying
all the traffic will bear" Metcalf
explained. They are essential to
the industry and II the prices are
put too high. the industry is going
TO fall. The resources In question,
consisting of the seasonal natural
forage crop on the range lands OF
the public land states, is of no value
for production Of business and reve-
nue. except through the medium, and
as part and parcel, OF the stock rails
Ing industry. A practical use of the
resources for those purposes by that
Industry Is possible only under the
principles and policies suited to the
natural conditions surrounding the
resources. and the ordinary and fun
damental business necessities sur
rounding a practical operation OF the
industry?
The committee argued that obvious
ly correct principles have not been
and are not being applied to the graz
Ing OF stock on public lands, or
forest reserve lands, and II hopes
that the attitude that the range
grazing resnrces included within the
natural forests reserves should not
be exploited commercially to increase
forest department receipts.
Ii Is also hoped TO have the gov
ernment alter its policy regarding
that part OF its proposed new graz
Ing regulations which would permit
charging grazing fees on forest re-
serves on a basis with charges made
by private individuals for privately
owned land.
w. b. Greeley. chief forester of
the United States. presided at the
conference. which was attended by
VIII G. Barnes, In charge of grazing
and c. Il. Rachford. grazing inspector.
The stock raisers OF the west were
represented by its committee OF six,
appointed In Salt Lake several months
ago.
