BILL FOR FEDERAL BUILDING
Passed The Senate Last Week
And Now Seems Sure To
Become a Law.

That United States Senator George
S. Nixon has not forgotten his pre-
election promise to secure for Fallon a
suitable federal building, is evidenced
by the fact that his proposed measure
providing for an appropriation of $780,
900 to buy site and erect thereon a
post office building, passed the senate
on April 23rd, and has now been passed
to the house 70; its ratification, after
which only the signature of the Presi-
dent will be required to make the pro-
posed measure effective, and in due
course of time Fallon will be favored
with one of the handsomest federal
structures in the state. That the gov
ernment's affairs move slowly is shown
by the time elapsing following the in
PRODUCTION of the bill in the senate,
which occurred on April 10th, 1911,
more than one year prior to its pass
age.
Originally the bill carried an ap-
preparation of $50, 900, but an amend
ment increasing this sum to $50, 900 was
embodied therein during the present
session. Now If Congressman E. E.
Roberts can be as successful in the low
er house as his colleague has been in
the senate, Fallon will not be compelled
to wait great while for its govern
ment building which has formed a
theme for local discussion for a long
time In the meantime, those who have
lots to sell the government will show
renewed activity, and wire pulling to se-
cure the building for different parts Of
town will be popular as well with cer-
tain contingents. The bill follows:
BILL
To authorize the acquisition of a site
and the erection of Federal build
Ing at fallon. Nevada.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress as
sembled,
That the Secretary of the Treasury be,
and he is hereby, authorized and direct
ed to acquire, by purchase, condemna-
tion, or otherwise, suitable site in
Fsllon, Nevada and to cause to be
erected thereon suitable building,
with fireproof vaults. heating and ven-
tilating apparatus, and approaches,
complete, for the accommodation of the

Of at least forty feet on each side, in

EASTGATE TO Be DEVELOPED
Salt Lake Capitalists Are Laying
Extensive Plans For Mining
In District.

W. +. Smith, one of the owners and
representative of the Salt Lake capital
that has taken an option on the Gold
Northern group of claims belonging to
w. W., G. B. and John Williams and
Geo. Baker and situated in the East
gate district, was in Fallon Monday on
his way to Eastgate from trip to Salt
Lake City. Mr.. Smith told US that his
company had perfected its organization
and that the personnel thereof was
highly elated over the showings on the
Gold Northern group. All stock that
will be sold has been placed at twenty
five cents per share, and future plans
include the construction of water sys-
TEN from Road canyon seven and one
half miles distant to the claims. Cook
and bunk houses will be built at once
and camp supplies will be carried from
Fallon in a five-ton Pierce-Arrow motor
truck, already ordered.
A ten-stamp quartz mill and hoist,
have been ordered, both of which will
be installed within the next few weeks.
A force of four men are employed in
the Gold Northern workings and within
a short time substantial increases will
be made to the mine workers. Indeed,
the progress of affairs having to do
with the promising Eastgate property
is such that it fully warrants the pre-
dction that the list of Churchill coun-
ty's producing properties is to be added
to very shortly.

1t will be noticed from these results
that German millet is the highest yield
ing variety, but that it also requires a
long season to mature. On account of
their shorter period OF growth Hungar-
ian or Siberian may be better to grow
this year than the longer maturing va
rieties. A trial was also made with a
variety of millet called hog or Manitoba
millet. 1t produces a heavy crop of
seed and natures in about sixty days.
On account of the small size of the plot
it was not practicable to calculate the
yield per acre. The plot was fifty feet
long by two feet ten inches wide. From
this fifty-four pounds air dried hog mil
let hay was obtained.
Probably it would not be safe for any
farmer to plant large areas to these
crops because of the fact that there is
no established market for them in this
section. Sufficient might be raised on
each farm to supply feed enough for
the live stock during the year, leaving
the alfalfa available for sale on the
market.
These results have been given with
the hope that they will assist some
farmers to decide on crop to grow on
land that would otherwise lie idle dur
ing the present season.

WHAT TREE CULTURE MEANS
Demonstration Inyo County That
May Well be Followed Here.

Josh Robinson one of the prosperous
farmers of this valley, has an eye to
future business. Some fifteen years
ago he purchased farm in lnyo county.
As he had portion of the ground that
could be easily watered he decided to
plant it in trees. Eleven acres were
planted to locus trees. His neighbors
thought he had gone mad and SO an
nounced. For the first few years the
trees needed some attention. Now
they take care of themselves and are
growing every year.
The last time he was at the Inyo
farm a representative of the railroad
came to him and wanted to buy the
entire eleven acres of trees. They
were to be used for ties on the road,
and being hard wood and of good size
the road offered him $500 for the
eleven acres. The offer was refused,
as the trees are growing in value each
year.
The planting of such trees are prac-
ticaly safe from fire as they are non
risonous and fire might sweep through
the orch ard grass and no damage would
follow. They have occupied but little
time and attention and to-day would
make a nice stake for any property
holder. Josh believes that they are
pretty good life insurance policy and
he does not have to die to beat the
game. =,
The same could be done in this valley
and the same result would follow

SOME OTHER CROP TO PLANT
F. B. Headley Makes Sugges-
tons For Farmers of
This Valley.

Because of threatened shortage of
water during the latter part of the
season the local officials of the Reela-
nation service have issued timely
warning to the farmers of the project,
cautioning them against seeding new
lands to alfalfa.
Those who do not care to risk the
seeding of alfalfa on lands already pre-
pared may desire to grow some quick
maturing crop which will give them
some returns from their lands this seas
on. For this purpose wheat, barley,
millet or sorghum may be used to Sc
cure hay crop.
Tests have been made at the Expert
ment Farm with large number of va
rieties of sorghums and millets. Of the
sorghums tried Early Black Amber has
proven to be the best yielding and
earliest maturing variety. One tenth
acre planted on May II was cut and
shocked August 9, giving yield of 500
pounds or approximately three tons per
acre of air dried fodder.
Sorghum is largely used as dry
land" forage crop in Texas, Oklahoma,
Kansas, Nebraska and other states of
that section. 1t withstands drought
well and will grow in the presence of
considerable alkali. When plenty of
rainfall or irrigation water is assured it
is usual to seed it broadcast, but in Sec
tions where there is liable to be water
shortage the best practice is to drill it
in rows two to three feet apart and
keep the field well cultivated in just the
same manner as fodder corn is raised.
With the water conditions as they are
at the present time l suggest that the
method be followed by drilling in rows,
cultivating as soon as practicable after
each irrigation, and as often as may be
necessary at other times to keep good
dust mulch on the surface. Sorghum
should not be seeded before the first of
May as it is tender to frost.
Millet is a quicker maturing crop than
sorghum but does not as a rule yield so
much per acre. A number of varieties
have been tried at the Experiment Farm
with results as follows:
