ACTIVITIES OF THE
FARM BUREAU
BY Thomas Buckman, Co. Agent

Septmeber was busy month for
the Lyon County Farm Bureau. Early
in the month the county farm bureau
and community centers united in pro-
testing the curtailment of mail and
train service on the Hazen Mina-Wa-
buska lines OF he Southern Pacific Co.
which if allowed would have left Ma
son and Smith valleys marooned from
the rest OF the state for four days OF
the week Resolutions were adopted
and forwarded to the Public Service
Commission at Carson. The farm bu
reau was the first organization in the
county to act on this question and CO.
operated with the ierington CONNER
cial club in filing similar protest.
-Four meetings were held in Fernley,
Mason and Smith valleys for the pur-
pose OF forming district marketing
associations affiliated with the State
Exchange. About 50 per cent of the
producers in the county signed mem-
bcrship contracts at those meetings.
Two district associations will oe or
ganized. one comprising the Fernley
valley and the other Mason and Smith
valleys.
Demonstration plots OF corn aud
cantaloupcs in Fernley have produced
good results l.. J. Lucas of Fernley
has demonstrated this summer that
Hearts OF Gold" cantaloupes can be
grown successfully in the Fernley val
ley, Mr. Lucas produced approxi-
mately Sc crates of cantaloupe on
Ia acres Next year an attempt
will be made to secure an acreage of
at least 40 acres, a number of farmers
putting i'll two or three acres each.
This will be sufficient acreage to load
4 car which seems to be the only prot
table way of marketing the crop since
the acreage at Fallon and other places
necessitatcs the securing Of others
than local state markets.
Another demonstration which at
tracted attention in Fernley was two
acre plot of eastern corn grown by F..
5. Fontaine. Seed was planted June
10th. and was irrigated but twice dur
ing the summer. The stalks reached
a height OF 8 and 9 fect and on many
stalks were found three large ears OF
we'll filled corn. Mr. Fontaine esti-
mates the yield to be 20 hu per acre
and has produced as good a crop for
the past three years.
The county farm bureau has set
aside SIS for prize to the boy or girl
raising the best registered Poland
China pig in Lyon county. Poland
China do well in Mason and Suith val
leys and the directors hope to stimu-
late interest in breeding better Poland
Chinas by encouraging club work.
Two farmers in Smih valley were
saved $87.55 by consulting the farm
bureau as to the best market for pota-
to bags. 1000 potato bags were pur
hased alta saving of at leastl Ia cents
per bag. The saving amounted to the
freight charges on this shipment from
San Francisco to Hudson.
Another activity this month was the
appointment of working committee
to further interests OF the Reno II azen
hard surfaced highway. The appoint
ment of this committee was taken up
with the Reno Chamber OF Commerce
and resulted in a committee of three
being appointed, representing the Re-
no {. Of c.. Fallon {. {. and the Fern
ley Community center.

tured and blind folded She was then
given an egg to hold and was told
that it was spoiled. a wet rag was then
produced and Miss I.othrop was told
that the egg was to be broken on her
head. Ii anv one thinks that Miss
Lothrop is easy to hold when she
wants to get away they should have
been at the party, 1t took number
of BOYS and most of the girls to hole
her 1t was really the most exciting
event of the whole evening. .Aftei
the egg" was broken Miss LothroI

hcros arms. Upon being ttkled
however. It was discovered that she
was not "all" dead.

THE Birth of a Nation"

Much of the tenderly poetic ap-
peal of 1.-THE Birth of a Nation" is
due to the subtle acting of Miss
Lillian Gish in the part of Elsie
Stoneman, the northern heroine. Miss
Gish is little creature of the golden
sureole'' blonde type, which makes
for Photographic beauty. She is sin
gularly graceful, and her features
never lose their piquancy. Her eyes
before the camera are singularly ex-
pressive, and her acting conveys sin
cerity as we'll as true feminine charm.
Perhaps the most poetical scene of
the entire drama is the one in which
shes and Henry Walthall, as her
Southern lover, pour out their hearts
to each other through the agency of
the ancient symbol Of Venus, goddess
of romance, the dove. Not daring: at
this point in their courtship, to kiss
each other, they lavish their affec-
ftions alternately on the nesting bird.

Star of 'The Kid" Inimitabie
In "Peck'S Bad Boy
AGAIN TONIGHT.

Equalling, if not surpassing his
wonderfully successful performance
in THE Kid Jackie Coogan, six
year-old marvel of the screen, gives
truly delightful and refreshing
Characterization in the title role of
'Peck's Bad Boy" which opened an
engagement at the Wilson Theatre
last night.
The production, as a whole, is a
splendid accomplishment. The most
amusing and interesting episodes
from the celebrated works of the
late Governor George Peck have been
incorporated in the screen version
The subtitfes, which were written by
Irwin S. Cobb, fairly snap with the
brilliant humor of that clever writer,
and Jackie Coogan's Interpretation of

who is constantly getting himsc If and
others into trouble is one of the most
pleasing contributions that anycn -
man, woman or cnild-nas yet gwen

In "Peck's Bad Boy Jackie Coo
gan is the same sprightly, lovable
little chap that he was in 1.-The Kid
In some ways he may be little
lnaughtier, but he gives a portrayal of
