MANY FARMERS
HAVE SEEDED
GRAIN CROPS

AS February, the predicted storm
month of the winter slips by bringing
warm days and no signs Of major
storm, farmers are losing hope OF an
ample supply of water for irrigation
in Carson Valley during the coming
summer, and already many of them
have seeded their grain crops, while
others are now plowing and getting
ready for early planting. Many OF
the farmers of the Haybourn tract
below Minden completed seeding last
week and through early planting hope
to have the crops well along before the
supply of water gives out.
Farmers in other sections of Ne
vada are facing similar conditions and
without question, present indications
are not in the least encouraging, es-
pecially for agricultural and live stock
interests OF this state. There Is a
first time for everything and while
history does not reveal a crop failure
in Carson Valley in sixty-five years,
such a thing is possible, but even as
discouraging as conditions are, 1t is
not held probable by many farmers
who are still banking on heavy
storm that will put sufficient snow In
the mountains to guarantee at least
normal crops during the coming sum-
mer.

LANDING HAS
STARTED IN
THIS VALLEY

Within the next ten days lambing
season in Carson Valley will be in
full swing and already the fllocks OF
the Dangberg Land and Live Stock
company are increasing at the rate
Of several hundred daily. This COM
pany has the most modern lambing
pens in this section of Nevada at their
Buckeye ranch, east of Minden. The
buildings are of brick and are so built
that they can be heated in case of ex-
ceptional cold weather
F. c. Springmeyer. who is extern
sively engaged in the sheep industry
expects that lambing at his ranch will
start within the next few days. He
also has modern lambing pens to pro-
tect the baby sheep and as conse-
quence Of this investment succeeds In
raising high percentage of lambs.
Wallace Park and George Hussman
are among other local sheep men that
expect to start the lambing season
soon and are making preparations at
their lambing sheds to provide for the
new arrivals.
The sheep industry has been profit
able during the past two years and ac-
cording to those In touch with the
present situation. even greater returns
are expected during the present year.
Prospects are that the spring clip will
bring better than forty cents per
pound while lambs, 1t is claimed. will
demand better price than last fall.

STATE SCHOOL
STATISTICS

The following statements of COM
parison of conditions affecting schools
In our State with those in sister States
for the year 1920 will be OF interest
to those who are making study OF
present-day movements and problems
In education, says the Nevada Educa-
tional Bulletin.
In the percentage of school money
furnished by state and county com
bined Nevada ranks sixth; 1870 was
raised by the State; 64.48o by the
county; and but 20.6fo by the local
districts. Maryland ranks first, with
fO0Go OF the money raised by state and
county.
The Salary situation tl923-l924); !;
500 of the Nevada teachers are to re-
eeive the same salaries as IN ls22-
1923; 1870 are TO receive larger sala-
ries in 1923-1924; and Sc are to re-
ceiye lower salaries.
The number OF graduates from Ne
yada high schools was 22i2R OF the
population that was Is years OF age
that year. while in the United States
the percentage of graduates from pub
lie high schools was 11hafe and 1.2fo
from private high schools. The num-
ber OF pupils enrolled in high-school
grades was for Nevada 1872 pupils for
every thousand of population; for the
United States the number enrolled
was 1913 pupils. Because of our small
high schools In this State Nevada had
the fewest number of pupils per teach
er In high schools. Nevada ranks third
In the percentage OF pupils In the pub
lie elementary and secondary schools
who are enrolled In high schols, with a
total OF 1910. California with 2S.iPo
and Oregon with 1919 outrank Ne
yada.
Nevada has the highest per-capita
estimated wealth in any State in the
Union and the second highest per-
capita income. In cost OF education
per capita of total population Nevada
rangs eighth and expends 1859 and
ranks first In the average cost per pu-
pill enrolled. When one considers the
large proportion of very small schools
where a full teachers salary must be
paid for a few as three. four, or five
children, II is easily seen that Nevada
must pay more per pupil to secure
school facilities for her children that
shall compare at all favorably with
those maintained in other States. For
tunately the fact that Nevada has the
highest per-capita wealth gives a cor
responding ability to furnish an equal
opportunity for the boys and girls of
the State. Nevada ranks third In the
income per pupil enrolled received
from the Permanent School Fund
$11.23 per pupil. Wyoming with s17.09
and South Dakota with s1150 per
pupil lead Nevada in this respect.

RADIO OUTFIT
IS INSTALLED

A Kennedy long distance radio out
fiji has been purchased by F. Schacht
and through the installation of this
modern instrument this well known
farmer now receives a market report
from San Francisco nightly. Aside
from keeping posted on stock markets,
concerts have been picked up from
stations in Canada, Cuba, Washington
and other states. Tuesday a Lincoln
day address delivered in an eastern
city, was heard over the Schacht radio
instrument with great clearity. The
radio outfit is of late model no stor-
age battery being necessary and the
tuning in on different wave lengths
have been simplified that anyone in
experienced has little or no difficulty
in getting in touch with the many
broadcasting stations.

FARMERS FEAR
DRY YEAR

Possibilities of water for farmers in
Nevada this year are alarming, In the
opinion of ]. NJ. Fulton, assistant gen.
eral freight and passenger agent of
the Southern Pacific, who returned to
Reno this morning from a trip to the
Coast. Snow on the Sierra. he says,
is extremely light. and ehere is none
at Truckee. He says there will be
little water in the Truckee, Walker,
Carson and Humboldt rivers by July,
unless rains are late, and then, he
says, flood conditions may develop.
Grass in California looks bad, he
says, especially between Suisun and
Sacramento.
The United States weather Bureaus
weekly bulletin on weather, crop and
range conditions, says that 0S7 Of an
inch of snow fel at Tahoe station dur
ing the week ending last night, while
the fall of snow at Summit was
twenty-five inches. Ranges are ex-
ceedingly dry in Southern Nevada,
while the snow cover In the eastern
part of the state is not deep, with
eighteen inches at Gold Creek, four in
ches at Austin and three inches at
North Fork, Arthur and Hylton. The
report continues:
'The warm weather was favorable
for live stock. and cattle and sheep
were doing well in all sections, except
the extreme south where ranges were
dry. In Elko county. cattle are in fine
condition and the hay supply is suffi-
cient to carry them until the range
feed becomes ample for subsistence.
"Plowing was in progress in the
Paradise and Quin river valleys, and
the warm weather had started grass
and fall grain; roads were heavy.
Dairy cows and feeders were thriving
in western counties and plowing was
started in some localities.
Snow melted rapidly in the valleys
and foothills, because Of the abnor-
mally warm weather. Roads are
muddy but open for traffic.-Gazette.

VERY FEW AUTOS
ESCAPE TAXES
ASSESSOR VIM. PARK GIVES
REASONS FOR SHORTAGE
IN AUTO FIGURES

The report issued by the state high
way department realtive to the num-
ber of automobiles escaping taxation
in Nevada is far from being accurate
or representing the exact status OF
conditions, according to information
secured by the Record-Courier this
week While the investigation only
covers Douglas county similar condi-
tions, no doubt exists other Nevada
COUNTIES.
The reports as compiled by the
highway commission relative to taxa
tion closes In July or when the tax
rolls are completed. Following the
completion of the tax roll In July
many new cars are purchased and
licenses secured from the secretary
of state. When the cars are taxed
for the last half of the year as In
these cases they do not show up on
the tax roll already issued. A mum,
Der of cars were brought here from
California, and while licenses were
secured from the secretary of state,
owners had tax receipts paid In Cali
fornia. lnasmuch as taxes cannot be
collected the second time, these cars
do not show up on the Douglas county
tax list. Coupled with this there are
number of trucks and automobiles
owned by the county that are tax
exempt
When the garage OF the Helberg
Motor Sales company was destroyed
by fire last year. thirty-seven auto
mobiles were reduced to scrap iron.
The owners of every one of these cars
had secured licenses from the secre-
tary of state, but it was quite i'm
possible for the assessor of Douglas
county to collect taxes on the de-
stroyed machines.
With these deductions 1t will be
found that Assessor Park has taxed
all but a very small percentage of
automobiles owned by residents Of
Douglas county, and these few ex-
ceptions being SECOND hand cars own
ed by Indians. While the latter Sc
cure the necessary automobile Ii
censes, many of the owners spend
their summer at Lake Tahoe and other
mountain sections and they are hard
to locate. However. Assessor Park
has a complete list Of the present In
dian auto owners and intends to tax
the second hand cars this year, the
aggregate amount, however, will be
small, owing to the small value OF
the average car owned by Indians.
