Start Cow Testing
Association Oct. |

The actual work Of the Newlands
Project Cow Association was begun
October 1st
The applications for membership
were sufficient to. hsure the perfeo-
ton of the organization. and in ord
er that there might not be any fur
ther delay in carrying on the work
it was thought best to start the act
ual testing and enroll additional
members through the month. says
L. E. Cline, who Is promoting the
organization. Local dairymen are
very fortunate in being able to have
membership in a herd testing assoc
iation for the small Zee of IL &c per
month per COW. This has been made
possible by the assistance rendered
by the L. S. Department of Agrieul-
ture. which will have close super
vision of the work throughout the
year.
Five hundred COWS have been en-
tered in the association without any
special canvas of the dairymen. A
minimum of 1000 cows is the goal
of this association and 1900 cows
should be signed up if we are to
have an association in keeping with
our dairy development. A big herd
testing association viii do more to
advertise the Lahontan Valley as
dairy community than any other one
thing.

Petty Thieves Work
in Fallon Vicinity

Thieves broke into a store house
at the farm of Walter Nygren last
Thursday night and stole sixteen
60-pound cans of honey, taking
them away in an automobile. c. r.
Andrews reports that on the same
night cabins were broken into on his
homestead and several supers OF

Nygren and Andrews with the as
sistance of the Churchill County
Bee Keepers Association are offering
reward of $75 for the apprehen-
sion of the thieves.
Another petty theft was reported
last Wednesday evening when two
tires were taken from a Ford car
belonging to J. II. Snyder. Mr.
Snyder was working on the drag
line which is constructing a drain
near the F. W. SIGNALLING place
and had his car standing about a
hundred yards from the dragline.
The tires we're apparently taken
just before midnight when Snyder
came off shift as two of the tires
which had geen loosened were left
on the car, indicating that the
thieves were frightened away when

Grain Futures Act
Becomes Law

The President has signed the
Grain Futures Act, which provides
Tor the supervision by the Secretary
Of Agriculture of the trading in
grain futures The new law is based
on the, power of Congress to regu-
late interstate commerce. while for
mer statutes were based on the tax
ing power of Congress. - The ex-
changes affected are those at Chi
eago, Minneapolis, Duluth. Kansas
City, st. Louis. Toledo, Milwaukee,,
San Francisco, Los Angeles and
Baltimore.
The Secretary. Of Agriculture is
given the requisite authority to ex-
anime the books and records of the
members of the. exchanges and to re-
quire such reports as may be neces-
sdry to carry out its provisions.
The reports that this law will
plt the grain exchanges out of busi-
ness or Interfere with their legiti-
mate functions are without founda-
ton says Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace In a published statement.
IT viii not interfere with the prop
eg operation of such exchanges No
one viii be prosecuted. No proper
business viii be .harassed The law
gives us an opportunity. to observe
and inauire. into the Operations on
gfain .exe6apges and to put a stof
to improper practices. If such. exist
It gives opportunity to study this
whole system of registering prices
Of grains. In a year or SO we should

corning grain exchange dealings.

Should Prepare Soil Now for
Next Seasons Cantaloupe Crop

and is used extensively at Turloek
and in Imperial.
The strips of rye can be used lat
er for wagon or sled rows through
the patch.
There has been an abundance Of
seed saved in the project this seas
on. Great care should be taken in
buying home grown seed from any
source unless one is certain that
there has not been other plants of
the cantaloupe family such as Gu
cumber squash and other varieties
of eantaloupe grown near enough
to the Hearts of Gold seed so that
cross fertilization has taken place
In any event 1t is wise to pur-
chase some seed from the r. Nor
rell Supply at Benton Harbor This
insures for one thing strong poloni-
zation from the original strain of
melons.
The cantaloupe industry is going
forward and teeomiag one of the
main stays so that local farmers may
have a cash crop to which TO turn
when he needs money for hay pro-
duetion during the summer and
fall.
The above items therefore are
things for the growers to consider
so that the large acreage to be plant
ed during the 1928 will produce a
heavier acreage production and also
come into the market ten days ear
I ller than last seasons production.
The heat generated after the
green manure crop has been plowed
under gives the cantaloupe plants
greater impetus and causes the mel
ons to go on the market a week or
ten days earlier than would other
wise be the case.
Barn manure put on in the fall
and plowed under will cause more
soluble salts and plant food to be
available in the early spring when
the young plants are striving for
food.
Sufficient water should be applied
before the water is turned off by the
u. S. r.. A. about the middle of Oc-
tober.

(By A. J. Reed)

(By A. J. Reed)
Many of this years cantaloupe
growers and other farmers have sig
nified their intention of growing
cantaloupes for the 1928 market.
Inasmuch as VIM. ]. Hall by let
ter and c. G. Swingle by telegram,
have both stated that the melons
sold on the eastern markets this
season brought from soc to St.00
more per crate than melons from
Turloek or Colorado. it would seem
that the Churchill county growers
need not be discouraged at the loss
suffered this season. Surely not
when he considers railroad strikes,
the number of men out of employ
ment and other things which tend to
make marketing of any crop a diff
cult and hazardous proposition.
There are certain things which
must be considered In the way of
fall work by farmers who are eonsid-
ering a 1928 erop-their part of it.
In the early eantaloupe sections Of
California crops such as rye, barley,
wheat and various clovers are plant
ed in the fall on the acreage which
is being cultivated for the next years
crop.
This means that fall plowlng,
cultiyating and seeding must take
place.
When considering fall seeding II
might be well to take rye into con-
sideration Planting it early and
allowing 1t to grow straight through
the winter in conjunction with elov
er These cover crops are planted
broadcast and then when cantaloupe
seeding time arrives the cover cror
can be plowed under If the canta-
loupe rows are to be north and
south a strip of rye ten feet wide
should be left every one hundred
feet. This ten foot strip of rye
prevents the cold winds from chill
ling the young plants and also from
carrying loose sand against the
young plants with such force thai
they are torn to shreds.
This plan is thoroughly practica
