~he impression is becoming prevalent that Lyon
4 County is fast becoming agricultural center.
HThis impression is not because of the Lyon
County Farm Bureau, but because OF the things the
Farm Bureau has sponsored, because OF the organ-
lions it has assisted in forming and because OF the
high grade agricultural products which it is adver-
Using and marketing.
Most notable among these organizations the
Walker River Irrigation District formed dur
ing 1ol8-1olo, and the Lyon County Drainage Dis
trct Mol of nearly 5000 acres, the formation Of
which has just been completed. Among the agr-
cultural products OF quality that Lyon County is
noted for Mason Valley potatoes and Fernley
alfalfa hay. Both of these products (aialfa and
potatoes) demanding the attention of the buying
centers and only demand increased effort and con
tinued attention from the Farm Bureau or Farm
Bureau marketing association to establish their
true worth and bring the highest prices for these
products at all times. Mason Valley "Spuds" and
Fernley hay have, nevertheless earned some fame
for Lyon County due to their excellence of quality.
The Lyon County Farm Bureau would be failing
in it's purpose it not to promote and assist in
the marketing OF these products. Dairy products,
sheep and wool cattle hogs and grain also pro-
duced in large amounts for home consumption and
export

Agricultural products total two and one-third
million dollars yearly.

tuberculosis eradication in dairy cattle.

Two projects of County wide application have re-
ceived considerable attention from the Farm Bureau
The first is the eradication of tuberculosis from the
dairy herds OF the County. Altho veterinary work
is directly under the supervision OF the Netnary
Control Service in Reno, the holding of meetings for
the past two years has been under the guidance OF
the Farm Bureau The summary below shows
what has been accomplished in this County, the inn
portance OF which, from an economical or public
health standpoint, cannot be over-estimated.

Farmers secure highest prices for baled hay mar
keted through Farm Bureau.

Besides the drainage district in the Creamery
Community the principal work OF the County Agent
hiss been the marketing OF baled alfalfa hay. The
total hay baled to date has been five hundred and
fifty tons. for which the farmers received about
$4,000 to date. The orders are secured by the
County Agent whose services are OF course free to
the farmer The County Agent handles no money,
the checks being made out by the buyer to the
seller. Most OF the hay is sold for dairy purposes in
California, altho,a few cars have been shipped to
Southern Nevada mining camps.

work. under this project. was the consolidation OF
several irrigation bitches into two or three large
canals with the view OF securing economical and

time was spent on this pro- ect by the commission
and the County Agent, all factions did not get to-

ever been surveyed, which will supply water for
thirty tracts of new land, totaing 5000 acres In
order to make this ditch feasible the Farm Bureau
has induced the Federal Department of the Interior
to release 1000 acres of land under the ditch from

has described the work as follows:
"'lhe Fernley community in Lyon County met
early in the spring and discussed the program of
work to be carried on. The discovery of alfalfa
weevil in Washoe County caused the general feel

the community since the present income was largely
from the sale of alfalfa hay. This committee de-

Demand for potatoes created by Farm Bureau
Emblem.

A demand has been created for "Red Seal pota-
toes, by the potato growers inserting an emblem
which was designed by the Lyon County Farm
Bureau and later adopted by the State Farm Blu
This emblem Ga copy OF which is on the cover
page is printed red card board Sx3 inches
square The printed card is inserted in the top of
each sack OF potatoes. The space in the center of
the emblem is interchangeable SO that each farmer
may secure the benefit OF the advertising by insert
ing his name.
Twenty thousand of these were sold last month
to potato growers The emblem may also be stamp
ed on cakes of honey, inserted in bales OF hay,
Heretofore Nevada potatoes have been sold on the
California markets at top prices under some other
name. One OF the purposes OF this emblem is to
secure recognition OF the Nevada potatoes, as we
feel confident that their excellent quality will create
demand We also feel that the grower will take
more pride in the packing OF his product
That the buyers favor this plan of branding the
produce is shown by the following telegram re-
ceived by l. A. Strosnder & Son:

Nothing To Help Her

Nothing ever helped me until |

"and that's saying a good deal, for
have spent enough money for other
medicines during the past five years
to buy nice home, trying to find re-
lief. am feeling perfectly strong
nd well now, but I don't think there
was day in five years. that I did not
suffer in some way or other. Twice
during that period l was so overcome
with suffering that | simply collapsed
and was compelled to go to 4 hospi-
tai for treatment.
81 was in very badly rundown
condition, had no appetite, and what
little | managed to eat caused such
awful pains in my stomach that l
could hardly stand it. My food SEEM
ed to lodge right in the pit of my
stomach and could get no ease or
relief for hours. l also had raging
headaches and was so weak | could
hardly walk across the room. Many
a time | would boat up so with gas
on my stomach that felt like l
would choke and could scarcely get
my breath. In fact, had pains all
through my body and my nerves were
so shattered that it was almost i'm
possible for me to get any sleep. My
condition certainly was deplorable
and getting worse so fast that l be-
came alarmed for fear would not
live much longer.
"But, l don't feel that way now, for
all my pain and suffering has disap-
pcared entierly. thought, from
what others said Tanlac had done for
them that it was good, but | had no
idea it was so fine until began TAX
ing it myself. am now eating three
hearty meals day never have the
j least trouble afterwards, and | can't
sit down to the table without feeling
thankful for what Tanlac has done
for me. / have not had headache
since began taking this medicine,
my nerves are just as calm as can be,
and | sleep soundly as child every
night. am so much stronger that
can walk any reasonable distance
and not feel tired. In fact, | have
never felt better in my life than | do
now and my only regret is that | did
not have Tanlac long ago. 1t has
been a real blessing to me and will
praise it the longest day live"
