.FALLON EXCITED BY
PETROLEUM SHOW

What is probably the most conclu-
siye showing in the Fallon oil fields
was shown yesterday morning in the
Churchill well, according to the Jour-
nal. By 8 O'Clock over a hundred oil
fans had traversed the road to the
Williams ranch. Driller Gregory does
not claim production at the present
depth. but during the past week two
asphalt beds have been penetrated and
two sands carrying oil have been
drilled out. The bit encountered a
sand shale and showed OIL Drilling
stopped when the formation had been
penetrated to depth of four feet.
The starting of operations yester-
day morning brought a large crowd
of spectators, all anxious to see the
oil, nor were they disappointed. The
accumulation of seepage during the
night gave forth the best oil ever seen
at this depth in the Fallon field.
The fact that all former oil show
1ngs had been effectually cased on
gives particular significance to the
fact that the ground is stratified with
oil and gas bearing sands and that
each succeeding sand carries stronger
samples than the one before. Driller
Gregory has had continual fight with
sand in this we'll, but comedies that
these hardships were caused by ele-
ments that in themselves were con-
elusive evidence of tn oil which is
thought to lie below.
There were many among the early
visitors at the we'll who forfeited their
breakfasts in their anxiety to be on
the ground when the first baler
came up.

WANTS MEMORIAL
FOR JACK NELSON

The suggestion of Justice" in the
Soap Box Column on page two of this
issue, who would provide a memorial
tablet in honor of the late Chief of
Police Nelson, seems good one. The
writer agrees to subscribe $40 toward
paying for some sort of a permanent
public acknowledgment of Nelson's
sacrifice and to this amount The Silver
State will add another $40. This will
make sum of $40 available immedi-
ately for the purpose.
Ii seems rightly to be project
which should be taken up by lodges
of which Nelson was a member, the
Odd Fellows and Masonic. If either
of these organizations. or any other
organization, will take up the matter
The Silver State will agree to turn
over the 500 and will further agree to
publicly acknowledge further sub
scriptions.
The city will undoubtedly pay trib-
ute to the memory of Nelson on the
30th of May, Memorial Day, along with
other departed heroes and dead, and
we feel with Justice" that we could
better bow at his grave with the
knowledge that something substantial
had been done to perpetuate memory
of his sacrifice.

ADVERTISING VALUE
OF NEW INDUSTRIES

Chambers of commerce, commercial
clubs, booster organizations and live
business men generally throughout
the country have long ago recognized
the superior value of advertising that
comes from establishing and encour-
aging new industries in their locality.
especially so when such industries
will aid in developing and stimulating
the use of previously unknown or un-
used raw materials which may be pro-
duced in the immediate locality or
pearby.
The Silver State Chemical Company
is practical case in point for Hum
boldt county and this part of Nevada.
Manager Zimmerman reports that
scarcely a mail comes in nowadays
that does not bring some kind of an
inquiry regarding minerals, ores, ma
terials to be manufactured, products
or something of this character in con-
nection with this new industry.
Chambers of commerce, senator's,
representatives, railroad men, busi-
ness men, miners and prospectors,
commission merchants and brokers
and others interested in the different
branches of allied industries are ask
ing for information, and the booklet
that this company has recently pub
lished, Nevada and Her Great Min
eral Resources" which gives a sum-
mary of many of Nevadas ores, metal
lie and non-metallic, has been dis
tributed in large quantities through
out this and adjoining states, and this
| all serves to boost Winnemucca, Hum
boldt county, and Nevada.
Recently letter was received from
prominent railroad official, from
which is quoted the following:
What I have in mind more particu-
larly at this writing is an inquiry
have from New York parties who are
desirous of securing large deposit
of near-chalk or limestone. They
seem to have the idea of erecting a
plant for the manufacture of sub
stitute for whiting. etc."
The letter further asked that some
thing be submitted and this has been
done, and willingness has been ex-
pressed and desire to cooperate
with the local company. Correspond
ence is now in progress.
| I'VE do not need to substitute whit
ing," said Mr.. Zimmerman, "as the
Silver State Chemical Company owns
deposit of calcite from which real
whiting is made"
Much of this gratifying result has
been brought about by the publicity
given not only by Winnemucca news
papers, which by the way are literally
copied by other papers throughout
the state, but by the trade journals
and mining papers throughout the
United States, from New York to San
Francisco, and from Canada to st.

Company has gone about spreading

sources and opportunities. The off,
GERS of the company believe in the
fact that if you have good thing it
pays to let the world know about it.
and the right kind of new Industries
certainly do advertise the ,ccality in
which they operate.

ESSENTIAL TO GRADE APPLES
More Efficient System Necessary to
Create Confidence Between Buy
ers and Sellers,


The cornerstone upon which rests
the successful distribution OF the ap.
pie crop, which in 1919 reached some
100000 bushels, is grading. We're 1t
not for a more or less uniform system
Of grading, which even now In many
instances is defined only by the gen.
eral term "trade practice the mar
keting of this great crop would be
such a complicated problem that 1t
PROFESSIONALLY would be accompanied
by uncertainty and losses that would
ruin the business, say marketing spe-
cialists of the bureau Of markets, Uni
ted States Department Of Agriculture
But even more efficient grading
practices are necessary to create con-
fidence between sellers and buyers
and to eliminate waste. According to
these experts the chief difficulties with
present state grading laws are their
dissimilarity and, disregard of market
practices. Three essentials to the
successful Standardization of apples
and other farm products are cited:
l. There must be decided public SEN
tlment In favor of grading regulations.
2. The law should conform with good
commercial practice.
8. There should be proper inspec-
ton Of shipments at both Shipping
point and destination.

CRUSHED GRAIN IS FAVORED
ANY Aid Given Cow In Digestion Of
Food Will Show In Increased
Flow Of Milk.

There is no animal harder worked
than the dairy COW giving large flow
Of milk, and any aid given her in d.
gestion will show decided increase In
milk and in her condition. Some
grains are easy of mastication and d.
gestion, but the usual ration Of the
corn belt is comprised mainly Of wheat,
corn, oats, rye and barley. All of
these grains will show up in the feces
If fed whole and unless the cattle are
followed by hogs it is entirely lost.
Crushing grain is better than grind
ing it fine, for the digestibility may be
decreased due to failure to mix prop
erly with the saliva. Beware Of dairy
feeds too finely ground, for they may
contain filler and cannot be properly
digested.

FEED FOR TREES IMPORTANT
Yield Must Decline II Some OF EIe-
ments Taken From Soil Are Not
Returned In Some Way.

Many fruit growers do not realize
the Importance Of feeding their trees.
Every pound of fruit sold from the
land removes just that much plant
food from it. Sooner or later the
yield must decline if this practice Is
continued without some Of the ele-
ments of which the soil is being ex-
hausted being returned. A thorough
study Of his soil will pay many a
grower who is not now getting the re-
turns in yields that he should. He
might be able to get this soil in good
condition physically, increase its wa
ter-holdipg capacity and then give
some intelligent consideration to feed
ing his trees for maximum yields.

Automobile delivery will increase his

Because Of Labor in Harvesting and

Sugar beets are an excellent feed
for dairy cows, but because Of the
labor in harvesting and the expense of
handling, are not as economical as corn
silage. They have larger amount Of
nutriment than mangels or rutabagas,
but It is generally !sld that the latter
will yield somewhat more per acre
and are less difficult to handle. Sugar
beets are not hard on the kidneys, but
If fed In too large quantities there is
tendency to scour the animals. This
is due to the high sugar content At
