THINKS CHEESE INDUSTRY
WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL HERE

DR.. Glaisyer, a practicing veteri-
nary from the dairy country of Ore
gon, has made an extended inyesti-
cation of dairying conditions In this
locality and in a short talk at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting Mon
day evening gave some interesting
comparisons between the dairy In
dustry as carried on in Oregon and
Nevada, showing the advantages
that dairymen enjoy here. He as
serted that dairy land sold at as
high as $1,000 per acre in some cas-
es and that much alfalfa hay had to
be purchased at $40 a ton.
1t was pointed out that with good
feed so cheap in this locality and
the slight requirements In the way
of stabling the dairy industry should
have a wonderful future. Oregon
cheese makers get about IL pounds
of cheese from 100 pounds of milk
most of which is sold in San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles at about 25e
per pound. He pointed out that there
Is not a good sized cheese factory in
the state and there is no doubt but
that a factory here would find a
market for all the cheese that could
be produced.

TRANSFORMING AVIATOR
STOPS OVER IN FALLoN

Sam Purcell accompanied by a
mechanic landed on the fiat near
Rattlesnake hill with his passenger
carrying plane of the R4 Curtiss
type, last Friday. Mr.. Purcell was
on his way from California to Utah
In which latter state he has engaged
to make a series of flights. The last
stop before reaching Fallon was at
Placerville. Calf.
II was Mr. Purcells plan to make
stops at small towns along the route
where people seldom see an aero
plane and give the natives chance
to enjoy the thrills of sky nayiga-
tion. The high winds of the past
few days prevented Fallonites from
taking advantage of the opportunity
even had they the courage to try 1t,
and Monday morning Mr. Purcell
continued the flight towards Utah.
The arrival of a plane in Fallon
revives the question brought up by
the chamber of commerce some time
ago as to making better arrange
ments here for the accommodation
of stray aviators. The plan would
be to clear a field large enough for
a plane to light upon and take off
from in safety, and establish tele-
phone communication between same
and the town. The cost of such a
project is we'll within the means OF
local boosters and II will no doubt
be effected at an early date.

Rehearine Complaint
Against Express Go.
w. L. Chamberlain and NJ. Ii. Wal
lace to Attend Hearing Before
Public Service Commission

The rates of the American Ex.
of an investigation before the Pub
lie Service Commission of the state
of Nevada, May 29th A complaint
charging excessive rates was filed
last September by the Independent
Cantaloupe Growers Association OF
Churchill county, and w. T. Cham
berlain was appointed to represent
that organization, but no action was
taken at that time.
A communication from the Public
Service Commission announcing a
rehearing of the case was brought
TO the attention of the Churchill
County Chamber of Commerce at tue
regular meeting Monday evening. A
discussion of local and interstate ex-
press rates from points in Nevada
showed that Nevada is being dis
criminated against by the express
company and the matter Of the re-
hearing was considered of great i'm
portance to local shippers. 1t was
therefore decided to delegate Mr..
Wallace of the firm of |. H. Kent
Co. to attend the hearing along with
Mr.. Chamberlain and represent To-
cal interests In an effort to have
rates reduced.
1t has been pointed out that a
great deal of possible business is
lost to this community because of
prohibitive express rates.

Let Contract for

The contract for construction of a
new pumping plant for the city OF
Fallon was let by the city council
last week to T. J. Reese of Fallon
Bids of eleven different firms rang

Alfalfa Growers
Market Letter

The prediction that a good price
would be obtained for the first cut
ting 1922 crop of alfalfa hay fore
casted In our market letter of April
18th, 1922. has been realized. The
first sale of first cutting alfalfa hay
in the Byron, Brentwood and Beth
any districts. was made this week at
price of $1,000 per ton I. o. b.
cars Byron. Some sales of alfalfa
hay in the shock have been report
ed at Byron at price of $1,000 per
ton.
While these prices may appear
high to the consumer, as matter
of fact they are lower than the mar
ket conditions warrant, and we feel
safe in predicting higher prices for
subsequent cuttings.
The grain hay crop in the Sacra-
mento valley is very short due to
the extremely cold spring and lack
of late rains, and from reports we
have received, first cutting alfalfa
is not as heavy as usual, although
ii is about three weeks later this
year than in former seasons.
Oregon reports complete clean
up of the 1921 alfalfa crop. and al
so reports the hay crop in the Will
liamette valley as being the poorest
In many years. The last of the
1921 crop sold for $4,000 per ton
I. o. b. shipping points. and the 1922
crop is expected to start moving at
$500 or $1,000 per ton shipping
points.
1t is the opinion of the exchange
that the consumers OF hay will be
very slow in contracting for their
seasons supply at the prevailing
prices, consequently the movement
of hay from the fields to market will
be slow. II thu condition prevails
the only way the market price can
be held steady Is for the majority
of the growers to provide storage
facilities for some of their hay. Un-
less the practice that has been fol-
lowed in the past is changed. name
ly, that of dumping hay on the mar
ket, when the demand is not great,
enough to absorb it all. il is going
to be impossible to maintain a
steady market throughout the seas
on, and as result prices are certain
to decline.
With the 1921 crop of alfalfa hay
in the states of Oregon. Nevada, and
California cleaned up. we are GER
tan to receive good prices for our
1922 crop of alfalfa. providing we
market it in business like manner.

1t as soon as baled. at price below
