The United States take the position

With the addition Of IL head OF
dairy cattle to the herd Of IS at
the University Of Nevada's 21S-
acre farm on the South Virginia
road, It Is expected that enough

SPANISH SPRINGS
RESERVOIR NEWS

Another step forward in progress
Of the great Spanish Springs en-
terprise, looking to an early start on
actual construction Of the project
which is to bring unlimited watef
and power to vast Nevada acreage,
has Just been registered with receipt
of word from Washington that the
interior department has approved a
series of adjustment with property
holders along the route, as sug-
gested by the local force.
At the same time the department
instructed to proceed Immediately
with the right-of-way matters.
John F. Richardson, project man.
ager in conference with F. Bon
stead at Reno, reported that the
preliminary work was proceeding
"most satisfactorily" ~
ave have been authorized IN the
regular course Of business to secure
options based on adjustments that
have been made" he said.
The crew of men assigned to
look after the route is actively in
the field SO that this work may 60
through between now and July 1,
in order to take advantage of the
government money waiting for the
specified purpose. Otherwise it will
revert and delay the active work on
the Spanish Springs reservoir and
other matters connected with this
great storage plan.
It Is believed that the next few
weeks will see all the options
taken care Of and that the pre-
liminary work toward canals and the
dam site will be under way.
Under the plan, it is anticipated
that available money will take care
of all the section to be inundated
and the other lands that must be
purchased by the federal govern
ment, leaving a sum sufficient to
start work on the construction
while the funds from the next year
can be applied to the dam and ma
terials to go into this addition to
and completion of the Newlands
project.
It Is stated that while there are
few restrictions, relative to ex
cessive prices, virtually all Of ths
appraisements as suggested by the
board that recently made the find
ings have been approved.--Gardner

METROPOLIS HAY
CROP THREATENED
BY GRASSHOPPERS

The ranchers of Metropolis are at
the present time facing the POSSIBLE
ity Of having their entire hay crop
destroyed by an army OF grasshop,
pers which this week has descended
upon that community en- masse, and
are feasting themselves on the grow
ing alfalfa on the ranches OF the
farmers of that section.
For the major portion OF the
present week the ranchers OF the
Metropolis community have been
uniting in q drive against the pests
which threaten their crops and have
already accounted for over five mil
lion Of the little pests by q most
unique method.
They are digging bitches through
out the alfalfa fields and running
them full of water. They then
stretch out over the entire length OF
the field and move toward the
bitches, driving the grasshoppers
ahead of them with sacks. When
the insects reach the water they
are drowned. They are then strained
out of the water, and to date five
sacks, provided by the extension
department, have been filled with
the dead grasshoppers. These sacks
are estimated to hold one million
Of the insects each.
There seem to be seven colonies
Of grasshoppers and all are moving
west. They are young ones, prob
ably half-inch long, and are sweep
ing everything before them. When
they enter the field and start NOV
ing, it seems that the entire field
is migrating to a new location.
One redeeming feature of this
type of pest, they don't seem to
fancy the potato crop, which after
all is the main crop of the Metropo-
lis district. For some reason or
another they have so far failed
to touch the spud crop, combining
their destructive activities to the al
falfa fields.
The ranchers are contemplating
spending all Of their time for the
next few days getting rid of this
pest. County Agent Chester Bren-
men was called to Metropolis to
direct the battle. against the insects,
and it is hoped that the tide of
destruction may be stemmed before
the entire alfalfa crop is ruined

NEW CORPORATION TAX
MAY WEED OUT DEAD ONES

Foreign corporations doing bust
ness in Nevada are not exempt from
the $40 annual license tax imposed
in this state even though they have
paid a license in their home state,
according to an opinion handed
down by M. A. Diskin, attorney
general, in repsonse to an inquiry
made by w. G. Greenhouse, secre-
tary of state.
Mr.. Diskin holds that the only
corporations exempt from the tax
are those of the character Of the
building and loan associations which
are already paying the tax in Ne
vada.
That the tax will weed out a
great many defunct corporations
which have filed articles here in the
past and have been carried on the
books, is evidenced by the fact that
the secretary of state has already
had returned large box Of letters
marked unclaimed" which he sent
out to corporations notifying them
Of the tax.--Eurkea Sentinel.

FROST DID NOT KILL
FALLON MELONS

A late survey of conditions Of
cantaloupe fields in Churchill coun-
ty made by A. j. Reed, county
agent, indicates that damages from
frosts last week are not so extern
sive as was first believed. Fields
that were thought almost entirely
destroyed now appear to be capable
Of producing a fifty per cent crop.
In that section south of Fallon
where the frost was most severe,
the leaves of small cantaloupe plants
were blackened, but later inspection
shows the plant crowns are alive
to great extent. To the north of
Fallon there was very little damage
to melons from frost. In the Swingle
Bench section and on the higher
lands where cantaloupes were be-
lieved killed to the extent of ten
per cent Of the crop, there are
many fields that are expected will
bring about full crop. At Still
water there was considerable loss
but only to about half the extent
indicated in early reports. A few
farmers started to replant their
fields, but later believed good yield,
would come from the frosted plants
Late estimates in damages t.
cantaloupes through this section
vary from 15 to 20 per cent Of
the entire crop.

CREATES ANEW
POLICE OFFICE

For the purpose Of advertising
the Newlands project to automobile
tourists and homeseekers en- route
for California, and to offer them
assistance while in Fallon, = special
police officer has been appointed
by the Fallon city council. DR.. c.
A. Hascall was named to assume
his duties at the tourist camp in
Otis park Immediately.
A large portion Of the tourists
passing through Nevada are home
seekers, 1t is said, and many Of
them have agricultural locations Of
California in view. Instead Of per-
hitting them to rush through the
state with their questions unanswer-
ed, it is believed that many of them
can be directed to the lower land
values and the less crowded condi-
tion Of western Nevada, according
to members Of the council.
Investigations made at the Fallon
tourist camp recently showed that
numerous inquiries were made by
travellers regarding agricultural POS
sibilities of this section. Many of
those inquirers are from the middle
west, it was said, and were pre-
pared to invest in land.-Fallon

MINING MEN URGE
STERILIZATION Of
NEVADA PRODUCT

SACRAMENTO.-Dealing wit h
Nevada mining problems in an adj
dress before the board Of governors
of the western division. OF the
American Mining Congress, Edward
S. vanDyck, president OF the Con-
solidated Mining and Refining COM
pany, which operates at Unionviile
Nevada, made strong appeal for
cooperation Of the various mining
organizations in stabilizing the price
of silver. Prefacing his talk with
the statement that Nevada Is the
largest silver producing state in the
union from the standpoint OF pri-
mary silver mines, he declared that
the future of the industry in Ne
vada hinges on efforts now being
made to fix the price at a figure
which will permit operation at
profit.
The actual cost Of production
with the larger operators, he said,
is 75 cents per ounce, while the
foreign price Of the metal is 90
cents per ounce. II the Nevada
operators accept the foreign price
for their product they lose money
on their investment, he declared
He pointed out that despite the
fact that 80 per cent Of the worlds
silver supply is produced in Ameri.
ca, England, with 10 per cent Of
the production, is able to contro
the price. To remedy this condi
ton he urged that the government
stabilize the price by buying silver
at 81 per ounce.
The speaker also urged that tn,
silver industry should be relieved
from restrictions placed on the small
operator by blue sky laws. HI
made a plea for aid in securing
lower transportation rates for silvel
in Nevada, declaring that the rail
roads are guilty of gross discrimina
tion against the small operator, an.
that railroad rates for silver ore II
Nevada were higher than in an!
other state in the country.
