Need Exists For
Concerted Action
Cantaloupe Crop Is Moving 10 Mar
kets at Conflicting Prices,
Says County Agent
(By A. ]. Reedl

kby n. D. ilSeu
The cantaloupe crop is occupying
the growers time and attention now.
Everything points to better season
than was first anticipated. The
growers themselves are hopeful that
a late Fall will be the order of things
as far as weather is concerned. II
this Is true, there will be q full
month in the producing period. This
will afford ample time IN which to
harvest crops in such way that
the grower will receive good re-
turns upon his labor, expense, and
land.
AS Mr.. Yannoy, president of the
association. points out, in any year
production around the middle of
August, the cantaloupe industry can
be made an extremely profitable one
and the melons have been ripening
for the last week. Around fifteen
crates are being shipped out per day
A misunderstanding has arisen as
to the price at which melons shall
be sold. w. 7. Chamberlain, man
ager and organizer OF the Independ-
ent Gantaloupe Growers Associa-
ton, was inclined to the belief that
$3.50 per crate T. o. b. Fallon was
a satisfactory price. He persuaded
certain local dealers that such a
price would be satisfactory. The
Churchill County Cantaloupe Grow
ers' Association has been receiving
and filling orders at $3.50 per crate
t. o. b. Fallon; and have a standing
order of $500 per crate for the first
car lot of melons that can be gotten
into Denver. The freight rate to
Denver will be $1.00. This would
leave 81. so per crate f. o. b. Fallon
in car lots.
From these well-based facts and
the serious study of the supply and
demand for cantaloupes this season,
there is no reason why $3.50 should
not be the prevailing price until that
time when eantaloupes will be in
their fall production. Austin &
Jarvis, local dealers, have also been
receiving orders at $3.50 per crate
The first crate of melons. to be ship
ped out by the Churchill County
Cantaloupe Growers Association
was shipped out last Thursday, the
11th.
1t is hoped that the local dealers
can be brought into cooperation with
the price set by the Association. The
extra dollar per crate obtained at the
of the season brings up
the seasons average in no small
measure. This is a vital point and
one, If arranged satisfactorily to all
will establish a precedent
in the future.

Effective Work
For Improvement
Swimming Pool Benefits Continue
To Raise Sum Available for
Fine Enterprise

Falloh's business interests have
united on the swimming pool enter
prise and little doubt is left that
the plan will be matured within a
short time. Miss Mildred Dunford
and several of her co-workers among
the girls OF the town, started a fund
two years ago that is still Intact and
on deposit In one OF the Fallon
banks. Apathy interyened to pre-
vent the fulfillment of the plans of
1919 and the summer of 1920 went
by with the youth OF the town seek
ing out swimming places in canals
and sloughs. Desultory discussion
of the subject was maintained
throughout, however, and some of
the boys OF the town revived the
matter again recently.
Now the business men of the town
have come to the rescue and the
combined effort bids fair to usher in
that swimming place about which
every one in town, big and little, has
been daydreaming for a long time.
The Palace theater management
donated a part of its receipts on Sat
urday evening TO the fund. This
amounts to about $40. the Rex thea
ter management Is to duplicate the
action on next Saturday evening,
and all day next Saturday five per
cent of the gross sales OF practically
all of Fallon's business places will
go into repositories for the swim
ming pool enterprise.
Many Fallon mothers. anxious to
have a decent swimming place for
their children, and following the nor
NAL maternal instinct of working for
the best interests of the members of
their families, plan TO anticipate the
future in buying from local stores
on Saturday, more than one assert
ing that the winter sugar supply. OF
the children's shoes for the season,
and other needed supplies will be
bought on swimming pool day"

donate the percentage of their sales
on next Saturday are as follows:

BALKED ON PAYING GAS TAX
Revenue on Gasoline Tax is Not What
 It Should Be.

Little Rock, Aug. 3O.-(SpeciaD = Some one has baked on paying the gasoline tax that was prescribed by the last legislature. With more than 62,- 900 automibles in the state, it was es- timated that the gasoline tax would yield between $400,000 and $5OO,0OO annually This would increase rapid ly from year to year as the number of cars ill use is annually becoming much greater. The legislature fixed tax of one cent gallon on all gasoline sold to be collected and paid by the retailed. One-half of this amount was to be paid the state and the other half to remain in the county. The law has been in effect since April and in more than four months time only $1O,O00 has been paid in. It is clear that there is a big leak in the tank somewheres and the Highway Commission has called upon the Attorney General to assist in locating it It is probable that suits will be brought by presecut- ing attorneys in the counties for the collection of the county's portion of the tax and by the attorney general for the collection of the states half. There has already been considerable controversy over the tax and the out come of the litigation will be watched with interest.
