In 1916 the State of Nevada paid

ana thus far have failed to supply

Mr. Mcneil, John f. Lehners and
Jay l.. Heady accompanied the ex-
hiplt attendant and they were driy-
en- over the project by +. z. Strass-

mated as Supervisor of Agriculture.
which title was given him by the
railroad administration during the
war. His department is continually
In receipt OF communications from
people in many sections of the Unit
ed states, who desire to come west
and engage in various enterprises.
and many of these will now be di-
reeted toward Nevada on account OF
Mr.. Nonier's visit here.
There have been inquiries thru
this department for a suitable loca-
ton for the establishment of a can
ming factory in the West, where soil

able for the production of vegetables
Tor a canning factory. IL is the pur-
pose OF the Gamers, If they can find
a place where they can grow and
pack products In sufficient quanti-
ties, TO establish large factory in
the locality. These people will be
directed TO Fallon where canta-
loupes. celery, eaulihower, toma-
toes, sweet corn, peas, beans, etc,
and all other vegetables of unex-
eelled flavor can be grown.
The eannery people above referred
enterprises that seems specially
adapted to this part of the country
They select truck farmers who thor
oughly understand raising vege-
tables for canning purposes. Then
they send these men and their fam
flies to the location of the branch
factory and put a man and family
On about ten acres, arranging for
him TO devote his entire attention to
raising some varieties of vegetables,
while another family will raise 9TH
er kinds, and so on. BY this means
they find that the best results are
attained.
Mr.. Nonier thinks that the New
lands Reclamation Project is admir-
ably adapted for growing vegetables
of all kinds and that a canning fac
tory would be a big success here.
lie believes that IL our people could
get over the idea of growing alfalfa
hay exclusively and turn to produc-
tion of vegetables. etc. for canning
purposes, that the establishment of
canning factory here would be a
wonderful asset for the Project.
With Uncle Sans Nine Million
Dollar Farm" divided to a large ex-
tent into 40 and so acre farms, as
il has been through the Reclama-
tion Service, there is undoubtedly a
splendid opportunity to promote just
such enterprises as are indicated
above.
By a union of effort on the part
OF citizens of the Project, this en-
terprise can be secured and located
here. II will mean a payroll, when
developed to capacity, of $4,000 TO
100000 per month, and will be the
dawning Of a new era for this pro-
ject.
Mr.. Vonier's visit marks an epoch
in the industrial history of the pro-
ject, provided our citizens get busy
and stay on the job until one or
more canning factories are located
here.
Here's a man sized job in promo
tion for our Chamber of Commerce.
