SERIOUS ACCIDENT
WHEN TANK EXPLODES

Lee Winder while working on a
gasoline tank Sunday afternoon suf-
fered very serious accident when
the tank exploded.
He was soldering a leak in the
tank and it is supposed that the
flame of the torch came In contact
with the heated gas causing an ex-
plosion that was heard over the
block.
The force of the explosion struck
Mr.. Winder in the face and badly
burned his eyes. Many particles of
dust and metal we're lodged in his
eyes and DR.. Dempsey lent what as
sistance he could. Upon his advise
Mr.. Winder left for San Francisco
Sunday evening where he will be
under the care of specialist.
Just how bad the injuries to his
eyes are is not known and 1t will
take several days to determine how
much of the vision has been lost. His
many friends in the city are hoping
for encouraging word from him this
week.

COW PASTURES MEAN GREATER
PRODUCTION AND LESS WORK
BY I. E. CLINE
ARrienlturist

In times past we have looked upon
our dairy industry as a valuable ad-
1unet to the alfalfa growing indus
try. Dairy cows have furnished a
sure and excellent market. and will
continue to do SO, but so long as we
look upon the dairy industry only as
a maens of marketing our alfalfa
crops, we will never be able to make
the progress in dairying that is pos
sible under our conditions. 1t is high
time that dairying on the Newlands
project be advanced to its rightful
place as the leading industry on the
project. and that everything be done
to enable the dairy COW TO perform
to her greatest capacity.
Our alfalfa hay has proven TO be
a wonderful feed, but we can add
greatly to its efficiency as a dairy
feed, and we can add greatly to the
efficiency of our cows by supple
menting II with other feeds. Numer-
Gus local experiences have demon
strated this.
Pastures Economical and Beneficial
Fresh green pastures consisting OF
mixed tame grasses will yield as
much feed per acre as will alfalfa
and have the advantage of being
more economical since the harvest
ing expense and labor of feeding Is
eliminated, but the greatest value In
pastures under our conditions is Of
ten overlooked. Fresh green feeds
supply succulenee, which ii so much
desired in a dairy ration. Succulent
feeds stimulate milk flow as nothing
else will do.
Recent Investigations have shown
that the vitamines associated with
green feed are very essential to tho
assimilating and storing in the eow's 5
body of such minerals as phosphorus
and calcium. Phosphorus and cal.
cium are two minerals very essential
to efficient dairy performance. Mill
porducts are very high in these min
erals, and they are very essential to
the proper funetioning of reproduc.
tion. Cured hay is very liable to be
deficient in these vitamines. ANY
one. who has had farm experience
in the blue grass districts of tn
middle west, remembers what magic
results were secured when stock was
turned onto blue grass pastures ii
the spring.

JUD TERRELL BREAKS ARM
WHILE LEADING A HORSE

Jud Terrell, who came in from his
camp Saturday is carrying his left
arm in sling. the result of a bad
break. While leading a horse to the
camp, where he wanted to do some
garden work, the animal suddenly
stopped and the rope became en-
tangled about the arm, resulting In
the injury. AS Mr. Terrell was driv-
ing car at the time the accident
necessitated a return trip with one
hand and the other inconveniences
Jud is taking IL like a philosopher
and is willing to rest up while the
break mends. He has been develop
ing his property during the winter
and spring and is getting ready FOR
additional shipments from the mine.
The broken arm upsets his calcula-
tions for a few weeks.

Modoifies Ban
On Quarantine
Baby Chicks Allowed
From Non-Infected
Districts

| After several weeks of quarantin
against the shipment of baby chick
from California to Nevada points tn
embargo has been modified allowin
shipments into Nevada from section
that are not under quarantine by tn
| federal and state officials. DIR. Rec
crds issued a new ruling on the ship
ments as follows:
The new ruling will permit th
shipment of baby chicks to Nevad;
from all California counties excep
Alameda, Contra Costa, Solana ant
Napa. provided the shipper first OBJ
tains permit from the Nevada quar-
antine officer, or from a Galiforni;
veterinarian especially authorized b.
the state of Nevada to issue such ;
permit after inspection.
All such shipments must be mad
in new boxes, the packing must b.
either excelsior or shavings, and tn,
official permit must be attached Il
the box employed in making the ship
ment
Dr. Records has already appointed
an official representative for tn,
state of Nevada to act in the Petalu
ma district, from which large chicl
shipments are made to this state. II
California counties where no Nevada
inspector is stationed the shipper
cannot make consignm to Nevads
unless a permit is issued by the Ne
yada quarantine office.
The modification was entered after
an investigation of foot and mouth
conditions in California by DR.. w. B
Earl, of the Nevada veterinary con.
troll service. According to DR.. Ear
there has been no extension of the
disease in California counties. The
state, he says, has the situation well
in hand, but at this time in his opin.
ion, Nevada should not relax her
vigilance in other respects.
While the California authorities
state that the control of the foot and
mouth disease is well In hand, the
Nevada authorities have not taken
any chances and will maintain the
same rigid embargo against stock
movements of all classes.
Other bordering states have set up
the same line of self defense and SO
far no relaxation of the original or
der has been made. Late reports from
California are to the effect that no
new outbreaks have been found and
that practically all herds where the
disease has been found have been
destroyed.
DR.. Sorrell, representing the U. S.
bureau of animal industry together
with L. p. Cline, local federal agri-
culturist. and others interested In
preventing the introduction of the
disease into Nevada, are using every
effort to prevent any possibility of
the disease. DR.. Sorrell is tracing
out the shipment of cream cans into
dairies In the valley and believes
that proper precautions have been
taken against any infection.
Other districts in Nevada are us
ing the same precautions and are
urging the strictest enforcement OF
the quarantine in every section OF
the state.

Store up Minerals on Pastures

Store mp Minerals on Pastures
In recent communication from
Or. Hart, of the University of Wis
consin. who has conducted work
along the line of cattle feeding for
number of years, he suggests that
dairymen of this valley might great
ly add to the efficiency OF their cows
by the means of using mixed grass
pastures as a supplement to the al
falfa ration, and that during the pas
ture season, the cows should be fed
bone flour In order to augment the
calcium and phosphorus in their ra-
ton. By this method a reserve sup
ply Of calcium and phosphorus can
be built up in the cows body during
the pasturing season that will tide
her over during the time of dry lot
feeding.
Greater production per COW will
do more TO stimulate dairying in this
valley than anything else. II by sub
stituting mixed grass pastures for
some of our alfalfa acreage, we can
use our dairy cows to greater advan-
tage. we should not be slow to make
the change. This is just the time to
prepare land for COW pasture. There
is nothing that will be appreciated
so much by the cows as having a
little freedom on a safe and luxuri-
ant growth of mixed grasses.
One acre should pasture two COWS
during a good part of each day dur
seed will be approximately $3.50 per
acre.

The past week at Goldbasin has
been one of activity as far as deyel-

reports continue to come from the
properties that are being worked
either by owners or under lease. A
continuous string of assays are be-
ing made In this city and in other
towns. and many flattering values
are being returned to the miners.
One of the most important strikes
of the week is reported on the
Knight ground under lease to Miller,
Hunt and Drake. At the fifty-foot
level on the cross-cut to the vein IS

are in gold.
Rushby and Knight are working
on one of the largest leads in the
camp and their assays show excel
lent milling rock. A strike may be
expected from their ground at any
time.
Riddle and Mulcoy, who are leas-
ing, are sinking on their find. Their
values, which were struck two weeks
ago, continued as depth is attained.
The vein has Strengthened up and
the same grade of mill values are
being extracted.

promises to be among the producing
properties of the new camp.
One of the best finds so far picked
up in the camp is on the Pratt, Gin.

sational float was picked up, picture
rock, and it is believed that the lead
from which this came will be un-

Looking Over Properties
Harry Stimler and Tom Brady of
Tonopah were over the ground last
week and both returned to this city
more than pleased with the outlook.
Stimler was on his way to New York
and is expected to return to Gold
basin within the next ten days when
it is probable he will exercise an op-
ton that he took over on his visit
Local interest continues to be
keen on the future of the camp and
the fact that approximately fifty men
are employed and that supplies come
from this city, has already made
Goldbasin one of the business an
nexed to this section. Plans for a
Fallon day at the camp will be made
as soon as the weather permits.

Following the decision of the irri
CATION board members last week
when they passed a resolution ask
ing for the endorsement of a pump
ing plant to relieve the bench lands
this summer from possible drouthi
a telegram was forwarded to Seere-
tery Work asking for his approval OF
q plan. The result was that Engineer
X. f. Walter, of the Denver office
was sent to the project, arriving lasi
week, and Immediately took up the
estimates and practical side of the
problem.
Pumps Recommended
Following a survey Of the situation
from Fernley down to the dam and
also estimating on a pipe line and
flume section for water below the
penstock, Mr.. Walter at a meeting
of the board Saturday stated that the
latter plan did not meet his approy-
al. as he believed that other means
could be provided thus cutting down
expense and also assuring enough
water from the Truekee canal. He
stated that while the penstock plan
was practical in order to be perma-
nent that 1t would require far more
expenditure than the results would
bring.
Double Pumping System
His recommendation, which was
entirely endorsed by the water board,
is that a double system Of pumping
be installed at the dam. This, he
states, should furnish sufficient wat
ef 10 supply the entire bench section
end at the same time allow a flow to
the Dietz and Morgan section through
the canal, the same to be taken from
the canal as it is at present.
While his figures showed a far
lower estimate than was first cal
culated. 1t does not include the
pumping charge for the season, which
will be in the neighborhood Of $4,000
for electric power This with the
estimate for pump installation and
the other minor charges will bring
the cost to approximately $50, 600,
and will leave a permanent pumping
plant at Lahontan for future use on
the project should occasion come
for pumping owing to short water
periods.

| immediate action, as it is realized
that 1t will require several weeks to
erect the plant and place 1t in run
ming order. 1t is the general belief
that approval will be Forthcoming
and that active construction will
commence within the next ten days.
Funds Necessary
The matter of funds has been the
balk line, as it is realized that 1t is
necessary to pay for this permanent
Improvement. The money will un-
doubtedly come from the o. & M.
fund. Every member of the wat
er board approved the plan, realiz-
ing that without such arrangement
that thousands ef dollars of property
would be ruined on the bench and
that crops would be a total failure
with the possibility of such burn
ing out that reseeding would be nec-
essary. As this plan will to con-
siderable extent bring relief to the
Fernley section, as it will allow all
water in the canal from the Truckee
TO be applied to the lands, 1t seems
TO guarantee some assurance of crops
in the Fernley section. Mr.. w. A.
Hardy, who was in attendance at the
meeting, states that while the Fern
ley section will undoubtedly be short
of moisture. that this move will as
slst and will allow the planting of
some ground that otherwise would
not be attempted.
Bench to Plant
Following the adoption of the plan
for pumping water back through the
canal. it was announced by several
farmers of that district that they
would go on with planting, which
has been held up pedning the deci-
sion of the board.
Contracts for melons have been
held pending the approval of the
scheme, and as this is one of the
dependable sections the action by the
water board means that a full crop
of melons will be planted and with
the usual season weather the bench
section viii contribute heavily.
The action of the board was nee
essary to protect the several dairies
that depend on water and hay on the
highlands. Where one crop was
probable 1t is expected that the usual
amount of hay will be cut over the
district.
