Producers Should
Organize He Says
Marketing Association In
Churchill County
(By A. ]. Reed


The marketing association is six
ty per cent complete and farmers
are signing the contracts every day.
This goes to show that the interest
is net waning but is strengthening.
This is one subject that the farmers
are talking about every day. 1t is
matter of vital concern and is
brought to the attention of the
farmers on each and every day that
they do business.
The following conversation was
heard at one of the local eating
places last week between two hay
buyers who had come to the project
to buy hay for an outside firm: Il
believe we can get that hay for
twenty-five cents a ton cheaper" /"
Yes l think that that is possible. F"
The point is simply this, that out
side buyers find it possible to come
10 the project and give the price for
commodity that they find the
farmers satisfied with In most
cases there is little time devoted to
thought as to what the product may
be worth or is selling at on the mar
kets over the country.
How long as a class of people,
will the farmers stand such slap
stick methods? Isn't it a fact that
man producing a given commodity,
as the farmer, is handicapped when
the marketing of the crops comes up
question the business sense involved
question theb usiness sense involved
in the hiring of competent men to
take care of this very important
part of the whole problem-market-
/ ing?
In other words production is one
item and marketing is another.
Both have their own legion of fol-
lowers and organizers. The details
and expense attached to each are
barriers that can not be overcome.
There are exceptional instances OF
course but these are few and far be-
tween and when accomplished it is
found that a large part of the pro-
ceeds of the years work has been

Therefore it cannot be questioned
that trained selling force on the
alert to find buyers for given crops
in this locality and those other To-
calities in the western part OF the
state would do as much or more
than any other thing at this time to
help the farmers out of the crisis
that is taking place in the read.

These are things for the farmer
to think about and find solutions
for.

GOVERNMENT SEEDS NOW
READY FOR DISTRIBUTION

Congressman S. S. Arentz reports
chat he has an unusually large
amount Of government seeds for dis
tribution to the people of Nevada.
The seeds may be obtained directly
from Arentz or may be distributed
among groups. Arentz suggests the
possibility Of the teachers of the
various schools obtaining a supply
and distributing the seeds to their
pupils.
Only the standard assortment of
seeds can be obtained from Arentz
and it will be impossible for him, he
states, to furnish any special seeds
and also that there can be no per-
sonal selection.

Investigators Submit Report on New
lands Project; Want Com
pletion of Work

The storage of large volume OF
water in Spanish Springs seven
miles northeast of Reno, or In some
other suitable site, affords the only
possible means of overcoming the
stagnation which is rendering futile
the earnest efforts of well-deserving
settlers to place the Newlands pro-
ject on a safe and sound foundation.
according to the report OF Dr.. 8.
Fortier, associate of the division OF
agricultural engineering and F. L.
Bixby, senior irrigation engineer,
who were appointed to investigate
the grievances Of the settlers of the
F'ernley bench.
The investigation was carried on
during August Of the present year.
The grievances, the report states.
are due to primary causes beyond
the control of either the settlers or
/, the reclamation service, and these
causes had their origin in the incep-
tion of the project in 1903 and have
since retarded and dwarfed Its do
veIopment."
The primary trouble, In the opin-
ion of the investigators, is due to the
unfinished condition of the reclama-
tion work. Only a small percentage
OF the area originally included In
the project is under cultiation and It
is impossible for more settlers to
take up land due to the lack OF wa
ter. AS q result q comparatively
small number of farmers are paying
the entire cost of operation.
The following recommendations
are made:
Il. That an effort be made to
complete the Newlands project at an
early date.
"2. That in future moro atten-
tion be given to proper methods and
4 systems of farm irrigation with a
view to using water more economi-
cally and thereby lessen the charges
for water and expenses of drainage.

a. That fo1 the higher and more

nal earlier water deliveries be made
and more liberal measurements OF
Hood water be permitted.
rs. That the cost of community
drainage works for the Fernley d.
vision be distributed over the entire
project in accordance with the dis
tribution of costs of other completed
and contemplated drainage works.
&c. That the annual asaess ents

of water be. kept within reasonable
limits by charging any excess which
may arise to the construction fund :

Here in Elko county there have

Matched and raised their young, and
after the first of the

SECRETARY FALL EXPECTED TO
APPROVE RESERVOIR PROJECT

Belief that the fight to prevent the
destruction of Lake Tahoe's beauty
by cutting the rim of the lake to
obtain water for irrigation purposes
is virtually won, was expressed by
Stephen T. Mather, director of ma
tional parks, here Friday, says a
Santa Barbara dispatch. Mather is
on his way to Los Angeles after a
tour of the national parks in the
North and West with A. B. Fall, sec
rotary of the interior. He will rejoin
Fall for a camping trip in the Yellow
stone about September 8.
The plan presented to Secretary
Fall, and which is being fayorably
considered, suggests the diversion of
the waters of the Truckee river
which flows into Pyramid Lake, and
alkali basin. The Truckee would be
directed into reservoir, from which
the water could be drawn for the
Newlands irrigation project and for
the development in the vicinity of
Fallon.

LARGE EMPLOYMENT
IN TONOPAH MINES

There are more miners and mill
men employed in the Tonopah dis
trict at the present time than at any
time in many years, the days of the
Divide excitement not excepted.
This, of course. only applies to To-
nopah proper. and has no reference
to the Divide district
A careful estimate of the men en-
ployed at present in the larger prop
critics of Tonopah, as we'll as those
connected with smaller enterprises,
shows that fully 1900 miners and
millmen are at work in the district.
From reliable sources it has been
learned that one of the larger COM
panies will add materially to its
working force inside the next 30 days.
which means that about 40 men will
be given employment. Other compan-
les are broadening the scope of their
operations, while work is being re-
sumed upon numerous smaller prop
critics. and the overflow of miners
that are no win the district will be
given employment.
In the Divide district there are
fully $50 men at work, and with the
resumption of operations planned
upon a number of properties. this
number will be materially increased
within a very short time. Klondyke
