background, being part of Candidate

but this in no way detracts from the

legislation as would be Democrats,

REALLY TRUE
BOOSTING

BOOSTING
Some day Editor Van Devort of the
Carson City Appeal is going to take
trouble to tell Remedies how to go at
it to do real job of boosting. A par
ticularly interesting question between
two newspapers has developed since
the Reno Gazette questioned the APP
peal's stand on its criticism of the
federal government and its action
relative to farm development in Me-
vada. The Appeal some days ago
called attention to the fact that Can
ada had absorbed fifty carloads of
Americans ON Canadian farms and
not one carload landed in Nevada.
The Gazette asked what, under the
constitution, the federal government
could do to alter the situation.
After reading the query the editor
of the Appeal was not slow to an
swer, and his answer was a good one,
printed in part below:
The first thing that Congress could
do, says the Appeal, would be to make
funds available for reclamation.
There is not county on the western
border of Nevada, Washoe included,
that could not be made to bear hun
dred-fold more than 1t does, with
water impeachment. Douglas county
has for the past twenty years asked
federal aid to impound the spring
floods of the Carson river. The peo-
pie of the Humboldt have looked
yearningly toward Congress for an
appropriation that would build, or as
sist to build, fmpounding reservoirs.
The south is in the same condition.
The border land of Idaho offers the
same advantage. and all that Nevada
or turn down.
This paper contends, continues the
Appeal, that the price of one dread
naught, several of which have been
wished on the people by the present
congress, would reclaim land enough
in Nevada to absorb fifty, If not
hundred, carloads of American farm
ers. {,
At Inc present moment If one car
load of American farmers should
make application for entrance into
Nevada there is no place to put them
Every available irrigated acre is held
by private interests, either stock,
range or grass farming.
The Gazette states that with proper
advertising we could show real farm
ers the advantage of living in Ne |
vada. Again, we ask, why advertise
you cannot deliver? The
truth is that Nevada today, through !
lack of federal aid, has little or no
land to offer the farmer.
Watered lands range in price from
500 to $500 per acre. This cannot be
taken over by the new farmer There |
is some of the best soil that ever
graced nation lying idle. thousands
of acres Of it, but there is not a drop
of water, and should Nevada adyer-
tise this land it could be jailed for
misrepresentation.
