The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1921-09-21

When the various districts OF the
Newlands Project through their
leaders set about the task Of bring
ing together creditable exhibit of
farm products, the result is a fore
gone conclusion. At no time in the
history of the county fair has this
been more definitely exemplified
than In the fair that has just been
brought to a successful conclusion
AT the outset credit should be
given TO the promoters of the enter
prise, without whose intelligent and
unremunerated efforts 1t would have
been impossible 10 assemble so ad-
mirable a display OF the products of
this project as were presented at the
grounds last week. Also is the
friendly rivalry for supremacy in
arrangement and assortment that
was apparent in the various dis
plays 10 be commended. Ii is this
spirit of emulation that brings out
the best that is in us and results in
the upbuilding OF the entire com
munity. The farmers OF the future,
represented ia the Boys and Girls
Club, gave ample evidence that they
are also imbued with the proper
spirit and evidenced that the rising
generation will be ready for the re-
sponsibility when the reins are pass
ed on TO them.

1--we Stock Exhibits
Seldom IL ever In the history OF
Churchill county has as fine a Sc
lection of pure bred stock been pre-
sented at a fair as that shown this
year. The dairy show was especial

Of three OF the leading dairy strains
-Holsteins, Ayrshires and Jerseys
The Holstein herd of IL. j. Long.
with It's heavy producing records
shared the interest Of the visitor

Governor Sparks, than which there
were no better in the United states
few years ago.
The farmers OF this valley are
awakening TO the realization that
the old order is passing and the day
of the hay farmer is about done.
Economic pressure demands less

interest is being taken In those
strains Of cattle that will produce
the maximum results with a mini

only In pure bred stock, and this Is
automatic whether II applies TO
chickens, sheep, hogs, horses or cat
tie.
The milking demonstration Of the
DeLaval milker attracted consider
able attention as il was used on the
H. j. Long herd of fIolsteins. The
merits OF the machine we're explain

was also on exhibition by Grey
Reid q Co, but no demonstration
was made. Tho latter firm also had
a ereditable display Of farm imple-
ments.

merits of the Page mixer to inter-
ested groups but was not equipped
to give a demonstration of this ex
eellent machine,
Every available square foot of
space in the pavilion was utilized for
the exhibits that came from every
quarter OF the project, and while
there was an unavoidable sameness
In the display, they were nevertheless
interesting and characteristic each
in its own individual way. The late
frosts of early spring practically de-
stroyed the fruit crop and this was
noticeable, especially in the case of
the Swingle bench. which had al
ways led In this particular product

Harmon District
The exhibit from this district ov-
erfowed 10 another part of the pa

mangels. corn, grain, potatoes, on
