Churchill County Was Well Repre-
sented at State Meeting
of Farmers

The first annual meeting of the
Nevada State Marketing Associa-
tion opened last Friday in the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms in
Reno, Nevada. The meeting was
we'll attended with full quotas from
each of the larger agriculture pro-
ducing counties of the state A
temporary chairman was elected In
the person of f. G. Riddel CT Elko
county. Mr.. Riddel after a brief
talk on the purpose of the meeting
called on Governor Boyle who made
very strong and comprehensive
talk on the vital needs of the farm
ers in this state for some means of
disposing and distributing OF farm
products. Governor Boyle brought
out the fact that marketing or
ganization which would distribute
farm products in a more efficient
manner will benefit not only the
producer but also the large class of
consumers in this state.
A five minute recess was then
taken for the purpose of allowing
each county time for electing one
member of its delegation on the
committee for permanent organiza-
tion. This committee numbered
some twelve men.
F. c. Felts, general manager of
the California Alfalfa Growers As
ISOLATION with the Northern Califor-
MIA Attorney Johnson and also Mar
keting Director Maddox of Cali
fornia gave splendid talks on what
had been found to be the best way
of organization In California. The
committee on permanent organiza-
ton with the California representa-
tlves considering a plan of organi-
zation promulgated by C. A. Nor
cross, this committee was continu-
ously in season from one o'clock
Friday, with an hour and a half out
for dinner, until one o'clock Satur-
day morning. 1t was finally agreed
that while Mr.. Norcross' plan was
perhaps one of the finest ever ad-
vaneed 1t was not exactly adequate
in covering the situation in hand
Therefore instead of planning an
organization which would set a
minimum price on crops held by the
farmer to be sold through the organ
ization it would be the more feas-
ible plsn to have all crops placed In
The hands of a marketing association
under binding contracts TO be dis
posed of by them through a mana
ger who would at all times act In
an advisory capacity with five direc-
tors elected annually by the dele
gates from each county who would
meet in Reno the first Friday In
June of each year.
Churchill county was represented
by Shober Rogers, A d. Drumm, w.
d. Moody, j. B. Crane and Oscar
Swanson. These mon played strong
part in the open meetings and Fall
Ion was well represented on the
committee of permanent organiza-
ton by A. d. Drumm and Shober
Rogers. The Fa.lon delegation
elected Shober Rogers as one of the
directors of the State Marketing AS
sociation for the ensuing year
Outside of the fact that j.. B.
Crane attempted to clean up the
Orange house for their lack of what
he termed patriotism and their
down right niggardliness in not
patronizing home industry in the
form of Fallon cantaloupe, in as
much as he had seen them unload
ing twenty crates of Turlock canta-
loupe, and after trying to take on
single handed some six wops caus-
ing such a disturbance that 1t was
necessary to call In the Reno police
department and Reno Fire depart
ment to disperse the crowd. the Fall
Ion delegation returned home in
good order having conducted them
selves in creditable manner.
