Pretty Good Rope Throwing.

From Cherry valley in the eastern
part of of this county comes well
authenticated report of RATA throwing
that just about takes the palm in this
branch of cowboy endeavor. Will
Hoover, Ralph dollhouse and Earl
johnson, companions of Arch Fer
guson, 16-year-old son of Finn Fer
guson, all vouch for his prowess with
the RATA and assure US that the follow
ing is true so help them Jehosaphat.
One day last week, a meek eyed
coyote ran the hazard of sitting too
long on his launches as young Fer
guson approached on his horse with
the result that the RATA shot out in the
air and the self-satisfied wild canine
found himself hooked up tighter than
Nevada married knot. He was dis
patched. Shortly afterward and before
his RATA had been replaced on his saddle
Ferguson espied full grown sage
chicken directly in the path in front of
him and as the chicken arose and
began to whirr away, Ferguson threw
his RATA with the result that it struck
the sage chicken fair on the head with
fatal results.
Now if there is any other cow section
in the west that boasts youthful
bronco buster of great prowess there
are those in this section who will wager
everything, even down to their silver
mounted bits that Ferguson will make
him look like he is standing still in
contest.

LOCAL CREAMERY GETS CREAM
From Mason Valley In Prefer
ence To Reno Creamery. Ton
A Week Shipped In.

F. M. Lowell, representing the Fallon
creamery, was in town a couple OF days
this week in the interest of his COM
pany. He visited quite number of
ranchers who are in the dairy business
here, and that his visit was not in vain
is shown by the fact that he has con-
tracted with mixers here to ship to the
Fallon creamery 1900 pounds of cream
per week. The Fallon creamery people
are certainly up to business. They
found that considerable cream was 60
ng from this valley to Reno, and as
they needed the material to make but
ter in their own plant thew came here
to get it. They were in position to
offer little better terms than the Reno
people did, and they got the cream. :

Deaoy, Secretary of State Brodigan
State Treasurer Mcmillan. Publicit,
Commissioner Norcross and Can't
Donnely returned from Fallon, Al
which place they have been taking il
the agricultural Fair in the reclama.
tion district.
Mr.. Deady, who takes great deal
OF interest in such affairs, as he has
been directly identified with the
movement since its inception, is most
enthusiastic over what he saw and his
personal observations. In speaking of
the section he stated:
Aside from the wonderful showin0s
made In the agricultural department
and the stock show and other matters
In relation to such an exhibit, the real
reclamation of the section is what
astonishes and delights the visitor.
The section is growing with wonderful
rapidity. There has been a world of
hard work in and about FalIon itself.
The farmers who went onto this land
had some hard problems. In many in
stances the land selected was covered
with vast sand dunes. They had to be
leveled. The sand moved onto the
lower lands, while in many instances
the dunes were scraped off into terraces
and are showing high-class culture in
arrangement and planting. Alfalfa
fields are springing up all over the i'm
mense fiat and rolling lands. The
families who went there with an idea
of sticking and making a go of the
business have won tkeir point. The
land has made a wonderful showing
with lot of hard work and cultivation.
The Island section (the old Joe Doug
lass farm is probably the most fertile
section of that particular district
1t is the result of thousands of years
of deposits of silts and overfiows from
the river. 1t is as rich land as ever
plow sank into. Wonderful crops are
being harvested. The parties who
have bought into that particular section
have picked prize. This section re-
minds one of the lands in the Carson
Valley. Little leyeling is necessary,
while the land is responsive to every
effort to bring it to higher cultivation.
That section is destined to be heard
from and will rival the Truckee
meadows of the Carson Valley, or any
other section in the state.
There is another section that attrac-
ted our attention. This is situated
between Hazen and Wadsworth. A
section that for years was covered
with lot of little black lava rocks. 1t
was regarded as about the most worth
less land in the state, wasn't worth
looking at It was finally located by
parties who could not get in close to
Fallon. 1t was the last of the picks.
That particular section is showing what
work and water will do. Several thous-
and acres of land have been brought
lnder cultivation. The farms are laid
1ut in a systematic and modern man
ner. Alfalfa is being cultivated and is
making fine headway. Inside of few
years it will be regarded as one of the
oig agricultural sections below Reno.
The trip was made in the State auto
which enabled the visiting State
officers to take in lot of the section

der ordinary circumstances. Appeal.
