Churchill standard. (Fallon, Nev) 1903-1908, 1904-08-20
RESOURCES POORLY ADVERTISED.

DROFESSOR ADAMS Of the Univers " OF Nevada has returned
[ but recently from a visit TO the St Louis Fair and is not at
all enthusiastic over The manner in which the agricultural dis
play of The Sagebrush State is handled. In an interview he states
that our agricultural resources are poorly advertised and ON
account of the neglect along these lines many interested persons
leave the Nevada building dissatisfied. Among other things he
SAYS:
The large canal and the great amount Of land that will soon
be thrown open to settlers III this State are also advertised
very poorly at the Nevada building and many visitor, are dis
appointed ON visiting te exhibit to ind that they cannot get
the information they desire. 1t would be good plan TO have
map of the canal and the land that is being prepared tor set
ters IN Churchill county This map should not only show the
showing what The land would grovand the amount each acre
would produce.
Scarcely vas the STANDARD two months old when it began to
argue the benefits TO be derived by tlS section through proper
advertising. Professor ADAMS has expressed our sentiments to
the letter. However, the etizens did not lend much encourage
ment to II views, and fearing The subject was distasteiul to them
the matter was dropped. But we desire to again impress upon
tbe neonl. of his section the necessity of propr ~ advertIsino this
county. And the Worlds Fair affords an excellent and exccp-
tional opportunity. Thousands OF American citizens are looking
for homes. The truth Of this statement is proven by the great
rush OF Humanity to lands that are being thrown open to settle
ment. Many hundreds OF homeseektfs have no doubt VISITED thc
Nevada building at the Worlds Fair to learn OF the land under
the Truckee-Garson project and IT'S produetabihty only to leave
dissatisfied, and, perhaps, dIsgusted. Naturally enough, such per
sons would look elsewhere for homes.
No such a rush as has characterized the opening oil lands III
other sections of The country is looked forward to when the lands
in Churchill county are formally thrown open to settlement,
Why? Because, Is stated by Supervising Engineer Taylor some
time ago in conversation with the editor OF this paper. they were
not being advertised as the other lands had been and were being
advertised.
The land is here. and it is unlikely that it Will run away. 1t
remains. however, Tor The people of this State who are most di
reetly interested in the success OF this great undertaking and it's
beneficial results to spread the new far and wide And ti, can
only be accomplished by persistent ard lnd'e1ous advertising.
