SPRAY APPLES NOW
SAYS T. BUCHANAN

Nov is the time to spray for
the prevention of wormy apples,'
says Thomas C. Buchanan, agricul-
tural agent of Washoe county, who
has been making an inspection of
orchards for the past few days, the
Gazette states.
Dealing with the need of spray
ing, Mr.. Buchanan says:
1.-THE codling moth is perhaps,
barring San Jose scale, the most
important enemy of the apple tree
in Nevada. For complete descrip-
ton of this pest, those interested
should secure Farmers Bulletin No.
1910 at the farm bureau office.
Illustrations in this phamphlet also
show the proper stage at which to
begin the so-called 'calyx spray or
petals off application of lear arse
nate in order to enter the fruit
through the calyx or blossom end.
THE time within which this spray
can be effectively applied is limited
and every effort should be made
by those intending to spray to do
it now, for that time is now here or
rapidly approaching in Washoe
county apple orchards. The spraying
should be begun as soon as the
petals have dropped and before the
calyx cups have closed. The rapidly
of the closing of the calyx cup
varies somewhat with the variety
and with the weather conditions. If
spraying is done when ninety per
cent of the blossoms have dropped,
the period which the spray is effec-
tive is ten days. A second spraying
should be made two to four weeks
after the first in order that a fresh
coating of poison will be on the
leaves and young fruit just pre-
vious to the Matching of the worms.
"Arsenate of lead at the rate of
one pound of powder or two pounds
OF the past to fifty gallons of water
is the formula recommended for
this spray. The powdered form is
preferable to paste since it is more
convenient to use."

Fear is the deadliest foe. to prog
ress. Silver was mined before the
Pttman act was thought of. Silver
will be mined after it is forgotten.
The fear of the unknown keeps
many on the anxious seat. The
child fears the dark, where no
danger turks, but just because it
is unknown. The soldier fears the
unknown result of the battle, which
may not be fought. The banker
in 1907-0S was stricken with fright
at a danger. that didn't exist, yet
they caused panic over the whole
country. The silver miners are
fearing the unknown result of the
expiration of the Pittman bill, but
the results may not be as great
hardship as they fear.
True, the Pittman bill gave life
to silver mining, under the condi-
tons the bill created but had there
been no Pittman bill the conditions
might have been better or at least
we would have been prepared to
continue under the conditions that
would have existed without it. The
giving of aims is a doubtful charity,
it creates a dependency upon aims
for existence. Hence the Pittman
silver aims knocked silver from
SLAB in San Francisco and $1.37h
in New York to 65 cents with 35
cents in aims as a salve.
At no time during the existence
of the state of Nevada has the
prospector and claim owner suf-
fered more hardship than under the
Pittman aims bill. FeRwer pros
poets were sold and developed than
in the history of the state. Not
one new producer of any consider
able quantity of silver has been
made that wasn't started before the
Pittman bill. The big producers
had the benefit of the maintained
price while the United States was
refilling its war chest but where did
the prospector get off?
Bukley Wells reopened the Com
stock, knowing the Pittman bill
would expire about the time it was
well started. Relleheln mines are
being opened with the knowledge
that they could not be ready before
the expiration of the Pittman bill.
The Tonopah Extension has increased
its mill and laid out to do great
amount of development work in the
face of the end of the Pittman bill.
Big money from the money centers
which could not be interested in
opening new mines under the stimu-
lated conditions which give a false
value to silver is now seeking to
take advantage of the frightened
silver stock and silver mine owners
are ready to buy upon the bottom.
Don't be frightened and run away.
Fight and build greater than ever.
Keep on, don't be a gutter.

DROP IN SILVER
MAY CLOSE MINE

Operations will probably be dis
continued at the Belmont mine in
Tonopah If silver drops to 65 cents
per ounce after the expiration of
the Pittman act, according to in
formation given out by officials of
the company. 1t was stated that
the company was able to produce
So cent silver at a profit under pres
emit conditions, and that it would be
necessary to adjust wages, cost of
supplies and other factors to per-
NIT continuation Of present activi-
ties.
The Belmont for many years has
been one of the largest silver pro-
ducers in Nevada and the company
has constantly endeavored to streng-
then its position by acquiring out
side properties. Officials said at the
meeting that few of the outside
ventures were proving satisfactory
and that operations at the Shaw
NUT gold mine near Sonora, Cali
fornia, would be discontinued this
year unless a profit was shown.
The company operates one of the
largest custom mills in Nevada and
will be in a position to continue its
work at this plant, along profitable
lines. The Belmont company re-
Gently took under lease promising

CONFERENCE ON
GRAZING RULES

As reported in the March issue
of The Nevada Stock Grower, a
committee consisting of three to
represent cattle and three to rep
resent sheep was selected at the
close of the conference at Ogden
in February with Forest Service
officials relating to the revision of
the grazing rules and regulations
on the national forests, with the
understanding that when the forest
officials had prepared their new
grazing rules, they would go over
them with the committee mentioned,
before their final release.
Considerable correspondence has
been INDUCED in as to where and
when this meeting should be held
and it now seems that June 25 is
to be the date and Denver, Colo
RADIO, the place.
The members of the committee
are for sheep: F. R. Marshall, secre-
tary National Wool Growers Associ-
alton; Worth Lee, Idaho; and M. B.
Otero, New Mexico. For cattle
Fen s. Hildreth, Arizona; Richard
Dillon, Colorado; and Vernon Met

Efforts are being made to insure
the presence at this conference of
all the "high-up" government
officials concerned, including the
secretary of agriculture, since, in

u. S. INDUSTRIES ARE
NOW PROSPEROUS

The financial sun is shining again.
The clouds have been dispelled by
the indomitable will power and de-
termination of the American people
and the outlook is brighter than it
has been at any time since the
close of the great war.
"A survey of the situation through
out the country shows that business
in nearly all lines is not only "pick-
ing up" but is actually assuming
the proportions of a boom.
Building construction is on the
up grade to such an extent that
skilled labor is becoming scarce and
difficult to obtain. Employment
IS waiting for every man who pos
sesses any skill at all in the various
trades, and the ranks of the I'M
employed are becoming so deci-
mated that it is almost a case OF
the job hunting the man.
Wages in numerous cases have
been voluntarily raised instead OF
lowered, and this has operated to
allay the spirit of unrest that has
existed among the laboring calsses
for years.

THE CAUSE AND THE
PREVENTION OF DISEASE

First Installment by Lois Callahan
of the Eighth grade.
The prevention of disease and
the Improvement of health are es-
sential to national and personal
efficiency. In earning power, vital
assets are from three to five times
as valuable as physical assets
such as lands, waters, minerals,
forests, etc. Fifteen years could
easily be added to the average
length of life by the application
of the science. of preventing di-
sease. 100000 persons are seri-
ously i'll in the United States at all
times. Fisher estimates that by
preventing preventable diseases, ST.
500, 100000 could be saved every
year. Pasteur says that it is pos
sible for man to rid himself Of
every parasitic disease.
Civilization deteriorates the spe-
cial >nses that help in the protection
of animals and introduces many
problems of health and disease such
as congestion of population in cities,
transportation of food and drink,
specialization of industry. II man
has less defense against disease
than have the lower animals and if
civilization environment increases
the opportunities for transfer of
contagious diseases then man must
use his superior intelligence and
place more emphasis on the pre-
vention of disease than he does
on the cure of disease.
Our environment includes many
dangers which shorten life, cause
sickness, destroy our happiness, and
impair our efficiency both personal
and national. The most important
of these dangers are the commune
able diseases, the causative agents
of which are minute forms Of life,
both animal and vegetable. These
may be divided into three groups
bacteria or the vegetable micro
organisms; protocol or the simple
animal micro-organisims; and meta
goa or the higher and more COM
plicated forms of animal life, such
as the worms.
OF the 1900 different kinds Of
bacteria only about 10 are harmful.
Bacteria reproduces by division,
which takes place on an average
about every half hour under proper
conditions of food, warmth, and
moisture. In the economy of ma.
ture, bacteria play an important
role. They give flavor to cheese
and buttermilk. Plant and animal
life would disappear il bacteria

case of disagreement between the
committee and the forset officials,
it will be necessary to refer mat

more important consideration is
the feeling on the part of stock

of agriculture should personally be

From such information as has
been received unofficially, it seems
that the principal changes being
made in the grazing regulations as
the result of the review which has
now been conducted, relates to
permits to be effective for longer
periods than previously-possibly
for ten years, modification of the
old restrictions surrounding permit
transfer (as known to the stock
growers) or renewals of permits

pears for the shippers from Plumas
county, California, Who are seeking
to obtain a lower rate for ore over
the railroad to the smelter at Wa
brska. Attorney S. w. Bedford rep
resents the Indian Valley railroad in
the matter and they are also seek
ing permission to make a concession
in rates. At the present time open
car rates are $50 per ton to Utah
points. The distance from the ship
ping point to the smelter at Wa
buska is 12S miles, from the same
point to the smelter in Utah the
distance is $50 miles. The shippers
and others are asking that the inter-
state commerce commission set a
fixed differential rate over the West
ern Pacific and Indian Valley rail-
roads. 1t is believed with a fixed |
rate based on open car
rates at $3.50 to Utah then the Wa
buska smelter will be able to treat |
ores at a margin Of profit. This
means much to the ore producers

Are We Mortal?

The opinions of prominent men are
being quoted that President Harding
shook too many hands and served on
too many committees for President Of
the United States and these duties has
tened his death.
The President of the United States is
not supposed to be monarch on a
throne, where only the influential and
rich can have access to him. This is
Republic and the Presidents are
supposed to be approachable by the
poorer classes as we'll as the wealthy
In the Constitution there is no dis
tinction between the rich and poor
and we believe President Harding, il
alive, would be the first to resent
such snobocracy.
As to too MANY committees bothering
the President, most of them are Great
ed By scheming politicians to pro
long their terms Of Office and they
make rules which do not seem either
fair to the legislative assemblies or
to voters and serve to defeat the
purpose of a representative form of
Government. Let most Of them be
abolished.
Those devising schemes to prevent
our President fir III meeting the
people had better go slow. Washing
ton, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln,
Grant, Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Harding, and all the other Presidents
were Presidents for the rich and
poor alike and their untarnished rep
utations Of dem ,cracy will go
down to posterity unsullied.
AS to President Harding's death,
VIII Ie every one deplores it, and the
nation sincerely lnourns for him, yet
no mortal could add one day, or min
ute to his natural life.
AS the poet says;
Ashes, to ashes, dust to dust,
Here sleep the relic Of the Just,
His spirit sought a nobler rest,
And found it on the Sayiour's breast,
BODY and soul by him restored,
Shall be forever with the Lord"
