CROP REPORT

Rains of the last week in certain
sections of the state have put the
soil in fine condition fer fall plow-
ing and have been of appreciable
benefit to pastures and ranges, lthe
United States weather bureau says in
its bulletin issued Wednesday The
report says:
The heavy rainfall in the northern
third of the state during the first
week in October greatly improved the
condition of soil for fall plowing and
benefited pastures, ranges, and fall
grain. The weather during the past
week was favorable for outside work
in all agricultural valleys. and good
progress was made in threshing the
late grain that remained in some iso-
lated places.
Potato digging and shipping went
forward without delay, and the crop
has matured well under favorable
weat her. Garden truck has nearly
all been harvested and only slight
damage was done by killing frosts
because of its late occurance. Al
falfa pastures We're damaged by
freezing in some localities.
Most ef the apples have been
picked. The quality is reported to be
good, but the yield is lighter than
usual. Live stock is doing well
generally. More moisture is needed
on the winter range in the south
portion.

SMALL CLAIMS
Law in NEVADA
New Law May be
ested in Supreme
Court Soon

The small claims court, as estab-
lished by statute is a department Of
the justie's court in which are tried
cases where less than 800 is in
yolved
The purpose If the act is to- sin,pi-
fy the proceeding in such small cases
so that speedy justice may be done
without the necessity of either party
employing an attorney The act in
fact provides that no attorney shall
appear before the small claims
court. Under its provisions the
claimant goes before Justice
of the peace and make affidavit that
party owes him certain sum of
money upon a form which the justice
of the peace furnishes. The Justice
cf the peace then makes an order re-
quiring the alleged debtor to appear
before him at certain day and
hour not less than five nor more
than - days from the date of filing
the affidavit. A copy of the order is
served upon the defendant personal
ly or by registered mail and requires
him to be ready at the hour and date
stated, 10 try the matter before the
justice of the peace. At the time
set each party is heard and the
justice of the peace also has the
authority To make such inyestiga-
tion of the claim as he himself deems
fit either in or out of court anG en-
ters his judgment accordingly. 4
simple method OF appeal 10 the dis
trict court Is also provided.
Some contention has arisen con-
cerning the validity of this act and
attorneys have contended thai II Is
beyond the authority of the lesisla-
ture to create special court with
special rules or TO deny the right
of n party to be represented by an
attorney. II is probable that within
the near future some case will
arise which will be brought before
the supreme court and the legal
status OF the small claims court def
nitely established. In the meantime
the justices of the peace will cQn-
tinue TO exercise their Jurisdiction
under the new law which Is design
ed to bring about speedy determira-
tion of small claims.

HONEY CROP IS
ABOVE AVERAGE
M. S. Sweet Marketing
Crop Direct to Re-
tail Dealers

Dr. M. S. Sweet. who is engaged
in the bee business and who is one
of the largest producers of comb
honey in this section. reports that
the season, while net entirely favor
able to the industry, was not as
unfayorable as in 1922. The yield of
honey this year was materially more
and the quality is Of the highest.
DR.. Sweet does not dispose of his
honey crop to commission merchants
but sells direct to retail dealers and
in this way he receives a much bet
ter price for his crop. He has spent
considerable time and money in
getting in touch with retail dealers
in California and other western
states and this year is finding it
much easier to dispose of his crop
than in former years.
Honey from the Sweet Apiaries is
graded into three classes, the first
being high grade article. In this
grade the wooden sections are coat
ed with paraffin before they go into
the supers. Before the honey is
packed fer shipment the paraffin is
scraped off the section, leaving the
wood free from stains and pure
white.
Mr.. Sweet recently returned from
San Francisco where he succeeded
in marketing a considerable portion
of his present honey crop. receiving
better that the quoted market price
for his first grade honey.

SURPLUS OF HAY
REPORTED HERE
Problem of Marketing
Hay Crop Now Fac
ed by Farmers

Now that the harvesting season
is over and hay is in the stack.
farmers of Carson Valley are turning
their attention to the matter of
finding a market for surplus hay
crops. 1t is understood that con-
siderable hay will be baled and ship
ped but this market will not begin
is estimated to be between seven
and ten thousand tons. In recent
years a large number of feeder
steers have been purchased and fat
tened by Carson Valley farmers and
this has been one of the chief meth
ods of disposing of surplus hay
crops. At this time, future prices
of beef is questionable and many
farmers who have relied on the
purchase of beef steers, are hesitat-
ing because of uncertain market con-
ditions Leading livestock men of
the state, it is reported, are not
giving advice relative to future beef
prices, rather they have stated that
buyers of feeder beef must take their
own chances.
1t is recalled that those who
bought feeder beef last fall, suffered
a substantial loss after feeding the
steers for several months owing to
the slump in prices. Those that
were caught last winter. are not
quick to buy steers this fall and are
waiting to get some authentic advice
on what to expect next spring. At
any rate. it seems extremely certain
that no high prices will be paid for
feeder steers by Carson Valley
farmers this fall

TRUCK LICENSE
IS MODIFIED
Public Service Com
mission Orders Fees
Reduced

BY order of the public service COM
mission of Nevada Wednesday Wa
shoe, Ormsby and Douglas counties
are required to modify their ordinan-
ces governing the licensing of motor
trucks to couform to the commits
ions idea of the law and justice, says
the Carson News.
The order follows the refusal of
the Nevada supreme courts order of
Tuesday to grant a rehearing in the
Ginocchio case wherein the public
service commission was the object
of proceedings to make II assume
original and entire control over
motor truck licenses. In anticipa-
tien of an unfavorable decision pe-
tition was filed to require the public
service commission to sit in review
of the county ordinances, and this is
the result.
The commission requires uniform
license fee of so cents a hundred
total weight on improved highways
and half of that on dirt roads in the
case of freights and 25 and 10 In the
case of passenger cars. Provision
is made in the case where the route
is part concrete and part dirt road
and other provisions affect the classi-
fication of common carriers and the
apportionment of license moneys on
a mileage basis.
II is possible an attack may be
made on this exercise Of power as
is under authority of Section of
the new law, section respecting
which the supreme court declined to
pass not directly involved In the
lawsuit.
According to a statement by one of
the officers of the public service
under the proposed
if the county ordinances
the license fee for Ginocchio Bros.
will be approximately 5000 for oper-
ating in Washoe, Ormsby and Doug
las counties. Complying with the
ordinances the Ginocchios would be
obliged to pay about 81 900 in license
fees to Ormsby, and about $500 to
Washoe county. The Douglas county
ordinance does not require the truck
operators to pay a license
Last year the Ginocchio truck line
was assessed on a valuation of s3,-
600, all in Washoe county For the
year 1928 the state board has plac-
ed an assessed valuation of $4,000
Gu the Ginocchio truck property and
has prorated the same to the three
counties concerned. as follows. For
Washoe county valuation of $4,000;
for Ormsby and Douglas counties.
each a valuation of $4,000.
The public service commission, ac-
eording to report, has taken the
stand that the increased taxes the
Ginocchios must pay. together with
all other license fees, If the present
county licensing ordinances are al
lowed to remain as adopted, would
amount to about twenty per cent, of
the gross receipts of the truck firm,

1t is reported possible that boards
Of county commissioners may refuse
to modify their ordinances to- make
them conform, as to the rates to be

such happens the question of the
