ROY GARDNER CHANGES
NAME: NOT NORTORIOUS
BANDIT BUT LOCAL MAN


Roy Gardner has changed his
name, by permission of District
Judge t. c. Hart. He is not the
famous mail bandit. but a local
man better known as Roy Hugh
Simmonds. Simmonds did not Pc
tition to have his name changed
for fear of being mistaken for the
robber, for he totally ignores the
similarity of names in his petit
ton. He states that his father
died many years ago and that his
mother has BEEN married to w. A.
Simmonds for thirty-one years
and that he has borne the name
of Simmonds since that time.

Fernley Farmers
Plan To Organize
Preliminary Steps Taken to Form
CantaIoupe Growers' Associa-
tion; Acreage Promised
OFFICERS FOR NEXT YEAR
CHOSEN; ANNUAL MEETING


That the Fernley farmers will
have cantaloupe growers associa-
tion next year was practically as
sured as the result of Q meeting
held there last Saturday night
County Agent A. ]. Reed of Church
Ill county and Agent T. q. Buckman
of Lyon county appeared before the
farmers and urged that they take
action on the subject. At least 20
acres of cantaIoupes were promised
by those present at the meeting.
Buckman stated that fifty acres
would be necessary in order to make
the association a success and 1t was
the opinion of those present that the
the fifty acres would be planted.
Reed told the farmers of the ad-
vantages of such an Organization
and te'd of the experiences of the
ChuIchg. association. The prime
purpose of the association, he said.
is TO furnish q market for the pro-
duct. Frequently the association
officials had orders for as many a.
ten carloads of melons a day. but
due to the fact that the association
did not have the cooperation Of cer-
tain of the largest growers It was
impossible to fill the large orders
promptlyand consequently the organ
ization often lost money where other
wise there would have been q large
profit, Reed said. Sufficient acreage
must be planted by the association
members to insure a carload Q day,
during the season. In spite of the
mistakes that were made last year
the speaker said, the growers were
for the most part satisfied.
You can't sell melens By mall
ORDER Reed continued. but an asso-
citation can send a man down to San
Francisco to develop a market. and
supervise the sale of the melons per-
sonally."
From three hundred to four hun
dred acres of MELONS are assured for
the Fallon association for next year
and the melon industry In Churchill
county is well on its wa y to be per-
manent. 1t will take you people
ABOUT three years TO put the industry
on its feet but then you will have an
industry that will benefit all phases
of business, Reed told the farmers.
Rawles Urges Action
President William Rawles, OF the
community center said that with the
prospect of a weevil quarantine, d.
versified farming was a necessity.
His advice was that the farmers form
an association.
THE weevil is coming to US. we
can't stop 1t and California will quar-

Water Users Want
To Appoint Chief
Northern Conference Adopts Resolu-
ton Asking for Official Repre-
sentative of People
FORMULATE PLAN OF RELIEF
FOR RECLAMATION PROJECTS
Board of Directors of Newlands Dis
trict Receives Communication;
No Action Taken

At a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Newlands irrigation
district Monday afternoon a letter
from the secretary of IA conference
of the government reclamation pro-
jects of the north section of the
United States, was read. The con-
ference was called for the purpose
of discussing the conditions on the
various projects and to formulate a
plan of relief of the projects.
The letter in part Is:
1T was the unanimous opinion
that the present law known as the
Extension Act which fixes the con-
struetion charge at per cent, per
cent and 6 per cent is beyond the
ability of any OF the projects to meet
under the present conditions.
1.-The conference resulted in the
adoption of set of resolutions, copy
of which | am enclosing herewith
stating the relief that the various
projects demand. The temporary
relief, you will notice. provides for
the suspension of both construction
and o. & M. charges from year to
year or until a permanent policy of
relief is adopted by the Congress.
The plan of selecting a committee of
Survey to visit the various project
was adopted rather than fixing a
fiat rate charge of. say one dollar
per acre on all the projects regard
less of cost.
"As secretary of the conference 1t
is desired that you communicate to
me your views of the action of the
conference and whether the perma-
nent relief sought should be based
upon fiat rate regardless of a pro-
ject's ability to pay or the Survey
plan which will fix the charge ac-
cording to the ability to pay"
The resolution is as follows:
Be 1t Resolved: That it is the
sense of this conference that II was
not the intent of Congress that a
great bureau of the government such
as the Reclamation Service should
be created and developed and the
burden of maintaining it be borne
by the lands reclaimed;
That this bureau has grown and
its expenditures have increased
away out of proportion TO the in
crease of the irrigable acreage on
the several projects and the reve-
nues to be derived therefrom;
In other words, we believe that
the general expense of the reclama-
tion service should be taxed to the
general treasury of the government,
as the expense of maintaining other
departments and bureaus of the
government are so taxed.
End. Due to the unusual condi-
tions now existing all over our coun-
try, whereby the water users on
many projects are unable to find a
profitable market for their products,
a great number of water users are
absolutely unable to meet their
charges for the current year, and in
all probabilities will be unable to
meet their charges for some time tc
come.
Therefore, Be II Resolved. That
an emergency exists and we ask that
all unpaid penalties be cancelled,
and that no penalties be assessed for
non-payment of charges during the
period of survey hereinafter request
ed and specified.
Further, That this conference use
all possible efforts to induce Con.

Say County Should
Not Get Inspector
Commissioners Hold That Weevil
Control In Jurisdiction of State;
Refuse TO Vote Funds

The Churchill county board of
commissioners refused Monday to
furnish the financial aid to maintain
an inspector at the county line be-
tween Lyon and Washoe counties
for the purpose of alfalfa weevil
control.
A committee representing the
chamber of commerce appeared be-
fore the commissioners at the regu-
lar meeting Monday and urged that
they vote funds to support an in
spector. The committee was COM
posed of W. j. Moody, A. j. Reed.
L. K. Cline and c. G. Swingle.
The plan as outlined by the
chamber of commerce was TO have
Lyon and Churchill counties cooper
ate to provide an inspector. Fear is
felt by many alfalfa growers in
both counties that unless such a
step is taken California will place a
quarantine on Lyon and Churchill
hay It is argued that quarantine
has already been placed on Storey
and Ormsby counties because of
free movement of hay between those
localities and Washoe county in
which the weevil was discovered.
Shober j. Rogers and Bert Cush-
man, county commissioners, stated
that the affair was out of the juris-
diction of the counties. That 1t
would require state authority to en-
force the quarantine and that the
state should furnish the money. And
that the county could not afford the
expense.
The chamber of commerce was
acting on the advice of DR.. e. Rec
ords, state quarantine officer. DR..
Records stated that the state police
funds we're depleted and that the
only feasible solution to the prob
lem was for Churchill and Lyon
counties to cooperate and obtain the
inspector.
The commissioners stated that
they would do all in their power to
influence the governor to take ac-
tion favorable to the two counties.
The county commissioners sent
the following letter to Governor
Boyle:
Hon. e. ID. Boyle,
Governors Office,
Carson City, Nevada.
My Dear Governor: Farm Bureau
representatives and other farmers
appeared before our Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners today requesting
us to station a quarantine officer at
Wadsworth, Lyon county, adjoining
us, in the matter to search Indians
wagons and lessen the chances of al
falfa weevil reaching our territory
from the Truckee Meadows.
This request evidently has a dual
purpose the minimizing the chances
of the spread of the weevil and to
lessen the chances of California au-
thorities extending the quarantine.
The Commissioners believe this is
entirely a state function. We re-
fused the above request and referred
these representatives to your office,
promising to join them in presenting
the matter to you. 1t appears un-
necessary for us to call your atten-
tion to the serious results of quar-
antine against the hay on this pro-
ject by California / know you are
we'll informed on this subject, but
reminding you of the necessity OF
your office doing everything needed
to keep the California authorities
safiefpd nc To the manner in which
your quarantine against Washoe is
maintained, appears not to be out
of place.
Sincerely.
