SUGAR BEETS ARE GROWN
FROM NEVADA RAISED SEED
J. w. Ferguson Makes Interesting
Experiment that May Mean Much
TO Future of Sugar Industry.

This week j. w. Ferguson will
send to the Nevada exhibit at the
Panama Exposition sample of
beets grown from Nevada raised
seed. probably the first ever raised
in the State. as heretofore all beets
raised in this valley were from seed
imported from Germany.
Mr.. Ferguson grew beets in the
season of 1913 from standard Ger
man seed. After harvesting the
crop that season, quite a number
were missed and were discovered
when plowing the ground for the
new crop last spring, after having
They were transplanted as an exper-
iment for seed raising and the re-
suits have proven truly remarkable,
both from the point of heavy yield
and high terminating qualities. An
other remarkable and gratifying re-
suit from the experiment was the
fact that there was rather an in
crease than decrease in the sugar
content of the beets that had lain all
winter in the ground, test made in
April of last year from these beets
gave a sugar content of 23 per cent.
That this splendid showing has been
transmitted to the present plants
grown from the seed of this strain
is proven by tests that have just been
made on the young beets planted in
April of this year, and while yet far
from maturity, show a percentage
of 1923 sugar according to analysis
made at the laboratory of the Ne
vada State University.
One of the difficulties that con-
front the sugar beet growers of this
country today lies in the scarcity of
seed, owing to the war. Heretofore
practically all the growers having
depended entirely upon the German
market for their seed. The expert
ment made by Mr.. Ferguson demon
strates that IL is entirely feasible to
raise all the necessary seed right
here in this valley, II growers will
but turn their attention to this
branch Of the industry. Mr.. Fergu-
son will have an exhibit of these
purely Nevada sugar beets at the
Forthcoming State Fair.

crowning feature of Churchill coun-
ty will be shown in every city, town

King and Queen to be Elected.
A contest for the most popular
man and most popular lady of
Churchill county will be held The
votes will cost one cent each. Bal
lot boxes will be placed at various

didates promises spirited contest.
The successful king and queen con-
testants will be appropriately dress
ed for the week at the expense of the
committee and will open every event
during the State Fair week. The
proceeds from the contest will go
toward opening day expenses.
The opening day will close with
an open air ball at which the King
and Queen will rule.
Prizes will be given for the best
floats and every effort will be put
forth to make the opening day one
to be remembered by all Churchill

share of the work. Further details
will be given next week.

This is State and not county
Fair, and therefore the committee
has seen the necessity of planning
on more or less elaborate scale so
that the State at large will appreci-
ate that Fallon can successfully hold
the State Fair for all time. The
natural resources of Churchill coun-
ty MAKE 1t the ideal location for a
State Fair.
The committee appreciating the
Importance of alfalfa to Churchill
county have decided to feature ii
first and foremost. The agricultural
exhibits will be shown in Clark's Pa
vilion and the entire building will
fist be turned into veritable al
falfa palace. The building itself
will be so entirely covered inside and
outside with alfalfa that no one will
recognize ii as the old pavilion. In
stead of calling it the Agricultural
Exhibit Building it will be known as
the Alfalfa Palace and will be so
featured in all the State Fair adver-
tising and publicity throughout the
State.
If the Churchill county citizens
will take off their coats and work
with the various committees the
opening day parade and celebration
can be turned into national cam
paign of advertising for Churchill
county. Here is the plan in brief:
1t is proposed to hold historical
parade on opening day depicting
Churchill county from it's inception.
This parade will be lead by Cover
nor Boyle and his staff. followed by
ten or fifteen floats featuring the
progress of Churchill County from
the days of the first settlers to the
present date. All the way through
this parade alfalfa as the principal
product will be featured. The last
float will show this alfalfa country
of today being ruled over by King
Alfalfa of his Dairy Queen. This
will be followed by autos decorated
with alfalfa and civic and fraternal
bodies appropriately groomed.

The race meet is over in Reno and
the citizens of the burg are now be-
ginning to take stock of the financial
results. From an advertising stand
point it has been an undoubted sue
cess, as ii has brought visitors from
all parts of the country that would
never otherwise be made aware of
the possibilities of this state. Many
were predicting that the interest
could not be sustained for such a
long period, but this has proven a
poor prophecy, for the crowd and the
betting were as liberal on the last
day as on the first, proving that
Reno is the greatest little city OF

BANKS WITHHOLD TAX MONEY
INCREASE INTEREST


but the banks and other big Chicago
corporations are saving a great deal
more than a penny when they with
hold their taxes till the states at
torney's office has filed suit to col
lect them in the courts.
Recently Asst States Atty Nor
ris Schaeffer received a check for
$1,000 from the Colonial Trust and
Savings bank. This was their assess
ment on a personal property valua-
ton of 100000. 1t was payable on
last Jan. and should have been paid
before March 10.
'It is now the later part of October
and they have held this money for
nearly 10 months, thereby putting
more than $500 interest into their
pockets which should belong to the
county," said Cchaeffer. "This month
we have filed suits for taxes against
25 corporations. Most Of these will
be paid before they come to trial.
Even if they do come to trial the
Judge can only order the taxes be
paid with the 81 court costs. Who
isn't willing to pay 81 to save several
hundred. This is just one of the loop
holes in the tax laws of Illinois which
this office is trying to plug up.
Just before the Judge called the
case of the state against Harry Dubia,
president of the Industrial Savings
bank, Dubia handed a check for ST.
400 to Schaeffer. In doing this he
probably saved 81 court costs.
In 1918 the Industrial Savings bank
was assessed at $150,000. This was
reduced to $4,000 by the Board of
Review. In 1914 the board of assess
ors assessed him for less than S25,-
900. On the stand before the Board
of Review he admitted that his bank
had $50, 900 worth of personal prop
erty. His assessment was fixed at
that amount He just paid it yester-

Perfect Harmony

The following extract from the news
items of the Times-Picayune is significant:
Complete harmony between the city
Organization and the state administration
in the matter of constitutional conven-
ton is considered certain as the result of
negotiations which have been going on
quietly during the past week. While
statements from any of those at interest
are lacking, the impression prevails in
political circles that the negotiations came
to satisfactory conclusion at a luncheon
Wednesday attended by Governor Hall, Sol
Wexler, Mayor Behrman, City Attorney
Moore, and Robert Ewing, leader of the
Tenth Ward, and publisher of the Daily
States.
"Certain matters of legislation affect
ing the city and city organizations interest
in constitutional convention, it is stated
on reliable authority, were the sole matters
of: discussion. Gov. Hall is said to have
outlined his position, which is known to be
advocacy Of an unlimited convention to be
held this year, and the city leaders are said
to have approved of it. Aplan of represen-
tation in the convention that will give each
parish and city ward one member, and allow
a number Of members at large is understood
to have met the approval of those present.
The number of delegates at large has not
been agreed upon.
"The dinner was the first frmal meet
ing Gov. Hall and Col. Ewing have had
since the latter broke away from the state
administration nearly two years ago. Be
|yond the fact that the city support for the
administrations constitutional convention is
now assured, no significance is attached to
the gathering"
The love feast recently pulled off at
which Governor Hall and Mayor Behrman
smoked the pipe of peace presaged the
second sitting with Mr.. Ewing as special
feature. There is natural afininy betwt I
|refomers-elect and politicians, but we are
surprised to see MIR. Wexler hungry too,
nor did we know that there was another
bond issue anticipated?
