MAY ESTABLISH new ROAD
TO SERVE STOCK INTERESTS
County Commissioners Met Friday
and Transacted Accrued
County Business

The county commissioners at
their meeting of last Friday ap-
proved the reports of the county Of
ficials and considered other business
arising from the conduct of the
county's affairs. Ellen Roscorla was
given a credit of $4,000 per month

months, while the application of
Nellie May Parsons for relief under
the mothers pension law was laid on
the table for further consideration
Charles ii. Cress, county game
warden, presented his resignation
and asked that it be accepted as of
the first day of this month the COM
missioners granting Mr.. Cress' re-
quest. No appointment was made to
fill the vacancy thus occurring Mr..
Cress has made an excellent official.
Petitions for opening roads
through the ranches of Walter A.
Phillips and Veda Williamson were
acted upon, deeds to the rights-of-
way accepted and the roads were
declared open. These are feeders to
the new state highway leading west
from Fallon.
The project of establishing a road
along the section line east of Fal-
Ion, one-fourth mile from the city's
boundary, was considered at the in
stance of petitioners, who would
have the Southern Pacific railroad
company move the Fallon stock
yards from the present location near
the state fairgrounds to a point just
west of the Fallon cemetery. Pur-
chase of lands would be necessary,
If the road is to be opened, from
Thos. Dolf, L. Miolo and f. Guisep-
pc. A new bridge across the Slime
canal must be constructed also. The
commissioners deferred action pend
ing the determination of costs and
sentiment relative to the undertake
ing.

4 large representation of the busi-
ness and farming interests of the
community, forming the active ele-
ment of the Churchill county cham
Der of commerce, met at the club
rooms Monday evening and gave the
evening over very largely to dis
cussion of the proposed project
drainage to be voted on by water u.s.
ers on Tuesday, April 9Th. The club
membership endorsed the scheme
unequiyocally and declared it to be
the most important proposal cosider-
ed in the projects history. 1t was
decided to carry on campaign up to
the day of election and District
Judge T. C. Hart and Shober j.
Rogers spoke in favor of the clubs
scheduled activities. 1.-THE scheme is
most vital" said Judge Hart,
to the continued development of the
lands of this project and must be
undertaken If a vast amount of work
already performed under the head of
home development is not to be an
nulled."
Shober j. Rogers touched briefly
on the several phases of the ques-
ton and said that the existence here
of what is termed ''seepage dis
tricts," must be recognized. Recog-
milton of the rights of neighbors and
their place in the general scheme of
the project, interdependent in many
instances with adequate drainage is
the normal and logical viewpoint of
the progressive landowner, no mat
ter In what project district he
resides" said Mr. Rogers. Mr.. Rog-
ers also told of some of his expert
ences during his recent visit to
Washington, ID. c., as Nevada's re-
preventative at the conference OF
western arid land partisans and ex-
pressed the belief that the national
congress would accord fair measure
of recognition TO the possibilities OF
home building in the states lying
west of the Rocky Mountains.
The matter of providing addition
al furnishings for the club rooms in
the Palace block was considered and
Headquarters will be established
there that will reflect credit on the
organization, said w, X. Davis, club
secretary.
j.. M. Fulton, Southern Pacific
district freight and passenger agent,
has informed the club officials that
a daily motor car service between

ed within the near future and that
announcements of a definite date
will be made within the next few

LOCAL MAN RECITES OIL
FIELD ORIGIN AND NEEDS
A Suggestion of Intrinsic Value to
All Operatives In the La
hontan OH Fields
fBy w. jaw Beighle)

In the absence of any existing
laws governing the drilling and
prospecting for oil in this territory
| have a suggestion which | think
would be well for the oil companies
here to adopt. 1t will save world
of trouble and useless expense in
the future development of our oil
fields. | suggest that the oil COM
panies get together and formulate a
set of rules, regulations and by
laws, most important of which
would be the keeping by each COM
pany of a true and complete log of
each and every we'll drilled in the
entire field, which should be kept
open for inspection at all times for
the benefit of said companies.
One can readily see the advisable
ity of such cooperation among the
operatives, since il would give the
exact formation, extent of the diff
ferent structures, their solidity and
the exact depth at which they may
be expected TO be encountered, as
we'll as knowledge of the best
methods by which each condition
can be handled most advantageous
ly. One can also readily see that
without this systematic handling of
the work and cooperation among
the companies. every hole that is
drilled will be a complete mystery
and source of untold annoyance and
expense.
Another valuable suggestion |
have TO offer, is: do not under any
consideration begin operations on a
we'll without sufficient capital, on
hand to go through with it allowing
a goodly amount above the estimat-
ed cost. A trip through the fields
east of town now will prove the fall
lacy of such course as there are
several drilling rigs standing idle
whose owners met just such con-
tingency. They began operations in
all good faith. got well on the way
toward the oil sands. but upon their
resources becoming exhausted, they
we're compelled to tie up develop
ment work indefinitely; whereas II
this precaution had been adopted
they could no doubt have reached
the oil and be a big paying PROPOSE

MAKES AUTOMOBILE DRIVING
SAFE UNDER ALL CONDITIONS
Churchill County Men Have Wonder
full Safety Appliance Tor
Automobile

c. p. and George Cirac, working
in conjunction several years ago, de
veloped a safety appliance for au-
tomobiles that will undoubtedly
soon be a part of the mechanism of
every machine. Known as the CT
rae automobile reverse control,
features are presented that are SO
altogether compelling that manu-
facturers of automobiles must adopt
IL If they would remain in the van
guard of progress. This is the opin-
ion of Bert Lnndy, Reno inventor,
who left Saturday for Detroit, Mich,
and Cleveland, Ohio, on business
connected with the manufacture of
his yalveless motor. After looking
over the Cirac Bros model, in the
Churchill county bank lobby, Mr..
Lundy commissioned himself to ex-
plain the great value of the inno-
vation and will by personal inter
view bring IL TO the attention of the
officials of the General Motors Com
pany during his visit to the east.
The Ciracs developed their inven-
tion Immediately following the start
of the world war and the cessation
VI
to hold them up in the marketing of
their appliance Now that normal
conditions are being rapidly re-
stored. IL is deemed certain that II
will be taken with alacrity by the
big automobile manufacturers.
Not only will the reverse control
prove invaluable when installed
within the transmissions of automo-
biles. but IL must eventually become
a part OF hosting equipment and
other forms Of power where an abb
solute control of the motive is nee
essary. No one who has INDUCED
mountain automobile driving can
fail to recognize the value of the
control which automatically locks
the transmission by throwing the
gear shift.
The Cirae Bros. have incorporated
a company and a limited amount of
stock is to be placed on the market
at s100 per share. Ii is the purpose
of the inventors to sell only suf-
ficient amount of stock to defray
the expenses OF marketing the inven-
tion. This It is planned to do by ac-
cording a manufacturing privilege
on a royalty basis.

FARMERS MUST RECEIVE ABE
QUATE PRICES
BY L. r, Meredith, Sec. Agriculture

BY L. r. Meredith, Sec. Agriculture
In spite of generally unsettled con-
ditions, un]precented difficulty in Sc
cureing labor and transportation fac
ilities, high cost of materials, and I'M
certainty as to future prices for farm
products, the farmers of the United
States have proceeded in good faith
this year to raise a crop better than
the average. They are repeating, un-
der the difficulties of readjustment,
the assurance, given by their magni-
ficient achievement during the war,
that they are not to be daunted nor
deferred by adverse conditions from
contributing their full share to the
welfare of the whole country. Look
ing upon the record of American
farmers during these two periods of
extreme stress and strain, the n fol-
lowing the other so closely that there
was no chance for relaxation, have
absolute confidence that the future eff
forts of American farmers will fall
nothing short of their full duty to
society.
Specifically, there is a prospect of
a wheat crop exceeding prewar aver
age about hundred million bus
hels, a corn crop of two and three
quarter billion bsheis, or one hundred
and fifty million more than prewar
average; oats, one and one-third bill
lion bushels, or one hundred and fifty
million prewar average; barley in ex-
cess and rye more than double prewar
average; potatoes exceeding five year
average; record breaking rice and to-
oacco crops; hay and faxseed ex-
ceeding five year average; cotton,
grain sorghums. and apples better
than last year, and record sugar beet
end sorghum syrup crops
The cost per unit of producing these
crops unquestionably was considera-
bly, greater than for any previous crop
III the lass half century, and business
men, as we'll as all other elements of
population, must realize that, if the
record made by the farmers during
the war and the period of readjust-
ment is to be maintained and the food
requirements of the Nation met, pro-
ducers must receive adequate prices
for their products-prices which will
enable them to continue to produce,
to ecure a reasonable return for
their efforts, and to maintain a salts
factory standard of living for them
selves and for their families.

Loss From
tuberculosis In Fowls

~Brookings, S. d., Aug. 1S.-Tho
losses due TO tuberculosis in fowls is
something appalling. A large number
OF poultry breeders have been put out
Of business entirely by tuberculosis.
The per cen age of affected fowls is
very high in some flocks. in some
cases running as high as % per cent.
This disease is not communicable to
man or otherwise it would be danger
Gus, but the main loss is financial.
tuberculosis in chickens is caused
by a germ" says DR.. G. S Weaver,
extension specialist in animal diseases
at State college. These germs are
scattered by the dropping. Here is a
real chance for tuberculosis to be in
herited as the eggs frequently contain
the germs.
The most prominent symptom is
commonly called 'gorng light" The
bird gets SO thin that nothing is left
but skin and bones. Diarrhea may be
common.
The best way to treat an affected
primal is to chop off his head. In
some cases it may be we'll to kill the
entire flock and take a new start.
Don't feed the dead hens to the hogs
but burn them to ashes. Clean out the
hcnhOuse and thoroughly disinhect it.
Spread lime around the pens and
white wash the house inside and out.
No cure exists, therefore, don't buy
so called cures"

Organization

Organization
Most farmers have read or heard
something rearding the Farm Bureau.
This great farmers organization had
its beginning under very insignificant
circumstances. 1t all started, because
q few farmers met in a little eastern
town TO formulate plans on how best
to develop their own agricultural in
terests and advise the first County
Agent what they expected him to do.
They made a little noise about it and
i got into the papers. The Govern
ment saw possibilities in the plan and
developed it through the States Rela-
ton Service From this humble be
ginning it has become an organization
of over 1000, 900 farmers. This rapid
development was made possible thro-
ugh the cooperation Of the farmers,
the State Agricultural colleges and
the L. S. Department of Agriculture.
The plan Of this one cornty farm or
ganiZation was enlarged upon and
brought to the attention of farmers
everywhere throughout the country by
the States Relation Service of the L..
S. Department of Agriculture and the
Extension Divisions of the various
State Agricultural Colleges. Little
did this small party of farmers think
about what they were starting. That
they started something with a punch
in il is being brought to the attention
Of everyone. Business interests ov-
erywhere are taking notice os the
Farm Bureau Movement. Even the
politicians are casting side glances
at it. The rapid growth of the Farm
Bureau movement is due to the fact
that it is developed from the ground
up and not from the head down. 1t is
made up of farmers, Differed by far
nlers and inancied by farmers.
Purpose
The purpose of the South Dakota
Farm Bureau is to effectively organ
ize, advance and improve, the agri-
cultural interests, economically, edu-
c~ationally. and socially, through the
united efforts of the County Farm
Bureaus OF the state. 1t does not
seek to replace or in any way inter-
fere with any organization but rather
to c~orelate the efforts of all organiza-
tions that conscientiously purpose to
develop agriculture, to the end that
the biggest and best results may be
obtained"
Farm Bureau Not Political
The Farm Bureau is not political.
1t is organized on a sane business
basis for the purpose Of promoting a
better agriculture regardless of poll
teal utilization. The Farm Bureau
| seeks to bring about united action on
all common interests so as to center
the activities of all county farm bu-
reaus upon a single purpose to best
develop agriculture and the interests
of the people who are engaged in 1t.
Not u Cure-An
The Farm Bureau movement is not
q cure-all for the farm business 1t
depends for it's strength upon the kind
of support given to it by the farmers
in the county, and the quality of CO.
operation it receives from the various
agencies interested in the welfare of
agriculture.
Membership
The membership in a farm bureau
is open to any resident in the county
who is engaged in the business of
farming. For the present the Hand
County Farm Bureau is not taking
memberships. A Farm Bureau MEM
bership drive will be made sometime
this fall and every farmer in the coun-
ty given an opportunity to join.
