March Herd Testing Shows Good
Quality in Newland Project Herds
BY l.. E. Cline

Dairymen on the Newlands pro-
ject have reason to be pleased with
the very high general average of
quality in their dairy herds. The
March report of the Western Dairy
division showing the reports of
herd testing associations in nine
western states, which included 49,
263 cows, showed an average pro-
duction of all of these cows
of 1851 pounds of butt e r
fat for the month. AS compared
with this production, the nineteen
herds tested on the Newlands pro-
ject in March, showed an average
production OF 33.23 pounds of but
ter fat per COW. Only one testing
association in the west reported a
sociation reporting from Utah test
ed 165 cows with an average pro-
duction of 36.3 pounds of butter
fat.
The following Is a summary table
showing the production of the vari-
Gus herds tested during March.
Those participating in this test will
be able to distinguish their herds by
comparing their individual reports
with this table.
One very gratifying feature about
the testing report for March Is the
very large per cent of cows tested
which produced forty pounds and
over of butter fat for the month
Out of 100 cows tested forty-nine
of them, or 25.7 per cent were pro-
ducing at the rate of forty pounds
or more of butter fat for the month
These 25.7 per cent of the cows were
producing on an average at the rate
of 5226 pounds of butter fat for the
month. 1t is very doubtful il this
high percentage of cows producing
fat was surpassed by any herd test
ing association in the west during
the month. Only two herds repre-
sented in this report failed to con-
tain cows producing 40 pounds or
more of butter fat.
Improvement Through Testing
and Culling
After several years of persistent
endeayor looking to the improve
ment of the dairy herds in the pro-
ject, IL is very gratifying to be able
to see the Lahontan Valley dairy in
terests getting down to business in
way that is sure to produce for
this valley an enviable reputation
for quality In its dairy herds.
The road to high producing dairy
herds for a community is a long and
tedious one. The foundation herds
that are secured by persons launch
ing into the dairy business inyari-
ably contain a high per cent of ami

Reports from Oil
Field Encouraging


The oil showing at the Fallon
Union well became SO strong Mon
day that it was decided by the man
agement to at once set string of
caseing in the hole preparatory to
bringing in the well. Driller Geo.
Hart was sent to California to Sc
cure same and to oversee the i'm
mediate loading and shipping. This
should be only the matter of a few
days time. During Mr.. Hart's alb
sence operations at the we'll will be
continued by Drillers Stine and Bail
ey, formerly with the Syndicate Oil
company and who are known to be
high-class drillers. Work will be
pushed as fast as is consistent with
safety and the Fallon Union man
agement still believes they will
bring in the first oil well in the Fal-
Ion district
The Syndicate
The Syndicate well on the Jones
& Jewell ranch have been drilling
in a formation of blue shale with
good showings of oil They are
down to a depth of $500 feet and
the "a inch case has been strung
to a depth of 1850 feet. The Syndi-
cate has stopped operations for a
few days to make some repairs
When the repairs are made drilling
will be resumed.
The Hoover Well
Quicksand has been encountered
in the well on the Hoover ranch
north of town and work is tempor-
arily suspended. Very good show
ing of oil have been encountered in
this hole and officials of the COM
pany are determined to resume OPP
erations at the earliest possible date
even If they have to start a new
hole.
Diamond Cements OFF Water
The Diamond is down to a depth
of 1880 feet with SA inch casing
strung to a depth of 1900 feet
Work of cementing off the water
was commenced last Saturday. The
last formation encountered in the
drilling was a blue lime with strong
indications of oil and gas. 1t will
take three or four weeks for the ce-
ment to set and then it will be de-
termined whether to shoot the well
or resume the drilling.

Quarrel Over Fence
Results in Shooting
Morris Hannifan Seriously Wounded
BY j. I. Vestal Monday
Afternoon

Morris Hannifan was taken to the
Fallon General Hospital Monday af-
ternoon in serious condition as a
result of a gun shot wound inflicted
by j. T. Vestal. An argument over
a fence which Hannifan was build
ing on the Vestal ranch led up to
the shooting, Vestal claiming that
Hannifan was setting cottonwood
posts when he had agreed to use
redwood or cedar.
vestal attempted to reinforce his
argument with a 80 caliber rifle and
shot Hannifan in the groin at close
quarters with soft nosed bullet.
Hannifan is very weak from loss of
blood but at last report he was rest
ing easily and has a good chance for
recovery.
After doing the shooting Vestal
came into town and gave himself up
to the sheriff. He Is now confined
in the county jail. What charges
will be laid against him will de-
pend upon the outcome of Hanni-
fans injury.

mails that are disappointing and that
hold down the average production
of the herd. 1t takes time to detect
these animals and weed them out
and still greater time and expense
in breeding up superior animals to
take their places. The dairy herds
of this locality have been undergo
ing these changes for several years
and as this herd testing report
shows, it is gradually reaping the
harvest of Improvement Eventual
ly this district will have a surplus
of dairy cattle for sale. The prices
received for such stock from outside
parties will be largely dependent
upon the reputation we have for a
general high average quality of our
herds and herd sires. A tubercu-
losis free area which we hope soon
to be able to establish through the
persistent efforts of our State Live
Stock Sanitary Board, will also be
of inestimable value in attracting
buyers to our valley.

Dairy Cattle
AS a market for our alfalfa hay
our dairy herds have as yet been un-
surpassed. An analysis of reports
on alfalfa production costs recently
collected from six alfalfa ranches of
the project shows that alfalfa was
produced on these six ranches, COM
prizing 465 acres in alfalfa, at a
cost of s9.91 per ton in the stack.
This cost includes all expenses in
cident to growing and harvesting
the crop including interest on in
vestment in land, etc. A large per
cent of our alfalfa crop is marketed
outside the project and at prices av-
eraging little more than the actual
cost of the hay in the stack, saying
nothing of the baling and hauling
charges. 1t is difficult to see what
an advantage it would have been to
us as a community If our abundant
alfalfa crop could have been more
nearly utilized by dairy herds such
as are included in this report.
If we consider our dairy cattle
as consuming an average of 1000
pounds of alfalfa hay per COW per
month, then the dairy herds report
ed above as producing 1928 pounds
of butter fat and 764 pounds of
skim milk were paying at the rate
of $3.50 per ton of hay consumed,
allowing 25 cents per hundred
pounds for skim milk and 35.S cents
as an average price for butter fat
for March.
Let us market more of our 1922
hay crop through dairy cattle. Let
us be sure that these cattle are pay
ing well for this hay by persistent
herd testing.

was drowned while fishing in the
pool below Lahontan dam Saturday
afternoon was recovered at about
$50 D. m. Sunday. 1t is not known
just how he happened to fall in but
the coroner returned a verdict of
accidental drowning.
Wray was about SS years of age

WEATHER Man
IS SHY SOME
ON RAINFALL
Total Precipitation Thus Far Is
Shown Slightly Below
Normal
BY BLOSSER

In spite of the heavy snow which
fell during the latter months Of the
winter the weather man is little be-
hind on his business of putting mois-
ture into the soil in this section, ac-
cording to the monthly meteorological
summary for April, issued today by
the Bismarck weather bureau.
The report shows deficiency for
the month Of 1.20 inches compared
with normal and a deficiency Of go
since January /. Normal, however,
is higher than the average for the last
few years, so that the weather man
hasn't done bad job thus far.
The temperature report shows the
average daily temperature for the
month Of April to have been 2.7 de-
grees. above normal, and although the
winter has been called a cold one the
accumulated excess above normal
since January is l.18 degrees. The
highest temperature during the
month was rs; the lowest II above.
The greatest daily range was 80 de-
grees.
The percentage of possible sunshine
was 81 per cent, the report shows.
This was per cent below normal, the
many cloudy days Of April interfering
with the record Of the Sunshine
state" There were 8 clear days, 8
partly cloudy and IL cloudy days.
Four killing frosts occurred during
the month.

in the last senatorial election, an
,nounced his candidacy for governor
the same day Gaston came out for
senator. Clurley, whose power has
increased tremendously since his re-
cent election as mayor, is regarded
as favorable to Whipple.
Whipple has been practising law
in Boston since 1885 and has ma
ti0nal reputation las a trial lawyer.
Twice he has refused seat on the
state Supreme Court. He is under
medium height, bulky, with close
clipped brown hair going gray, and
fighting face. He is a Yale man.
Castor has gained fame as a COM
bination lawyer, business man and
banker and is chairman of the board
of the National Shawmut Bank. Like
Lodge, he is Harvard man, class
mate of Theodore Roosevelt, and still
remembered at Haryard for his fistic
battle for the college middleweight
boxing championship i'm 1879 when,
seconded by Roosevelt, he beat Ram
on Guiteras. He lis short, stocky, with
a firm mouth, and sandy hair and
mustache.
Everybody here thinks Lodge 'ha,s
the stiffest fight of his career ahead.

FATHER AND
SONS BANQUET

Three long tables at which were
seated father and son, father and
son, a father and son, and so on, was
the scene which opened the beginning
of the second annual Fathers and Sons
banquet which was held at the Liberty
Theater under the auspices Of the 10
cal Masonic lodge. OF course not all
fathers were the real fathers nor the
sons the real sons, but for that eve
ming it was get together meeting Of
the two here in Washburn add vici-
nifty.
M. Tellefson, postmaster, introduc-
ed the speaker for the evening, Rev.
Geo. NeWcomb of Bismarck. Rev.
Newcomb had message for The faith
ers and sons, which dealt with the
rearing of boys and girs into useful,
strong and healthy men and women
the fathers and mothers of the tomor-
row. He also talked on the funda-
mental principles of life, that all-ab-
sorbing question: of the adolescent
boy and girl.
After the talk of Rev. Newcomb.
several boxing matches between the
younger boys were staged by Carl
Peterson. These proved very popular
and the boys enjoyed them. A crack

tical fight In the UNITED 8 States 10
brewing in Massachusetts,. It has ma
tional significance, and an eager ma
tlOnal audience, because 1t is a fight
to unseat Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.
"Beat Lodge!" is the slogan.
"Who can do it% is the question.
Two millionaire lawyers are chief
figures in the battle. One, Colonel
William A. CASTOR, has announced
his candidacy for the Democratic
nomination. The other, Sherman l..
Whipple, will probably oppose Cas-
ton. "
Both are fihting men. But Whip
pie seems to be generally regarded
as the most formidable Democrat
likely to beat Lodge.
Another complication is that for
mer Governor Samuel w. Mccall
may give Lodge a battle for the Re
publican nomination. If Whipple
runs and Mccall runs there will be
two spectacular struggles at the Sep
tember primaries as a preliminary
10 the grand knock-down battle in
silk Gloves Over lard Knuckles
SIX gloves cover Fsrd knuckles in
this remarkable situation.
All belong to the upper ten; all
are wealthy; all are personal friends.
aColonel CASTOR is charming gen.
tlefrhn," says Senator Lodge:
"Mr. Lodge is charming personally
its the thing he stands for" says
Whtpple.
Add wMpple feels the same way
about Colonel Gaston; and I, Colonel
Castor has simalAr sentimeat toward
Lodge and ndsWnfpp1e.
Lodge is ~ and has spent. half his
life in Congress, six years i'm the
House and 80 years in the Senate.
Wtipple is 60. and never held office.
CASTOR is 63 and has made three un-
successful tries for governor.
Wilson Democrats are in open re
volt against Gaston's candidacy, for
Castor was as, much "a foe of the
League. of Nations as Lodge. And
Whipple, a strong League of Nations
man. regards CASTOR as being tarred
with the same "big business" stick
as Lodge. -
Home Folks Feel It's State Fight
Here in Massachusetts the people
are Jealous of these friendly enc
mies' of theirs. They want the rest
of the country strictly to understand
that this is a private fight, not a
public one.
i Thinking Democrats says the more
Lodge is attacked nationally the
more able he will be to don the cloak
Of martyr and in that role gain sym
pathy and support at home. They
regard the click Lodge!' battlecry,
now being heard over the country IN
connection with Lodges leadership
against the. League of Nations and
for the four-power treaty, as Lodge
Observation-Disclosures to make Mas
sachusetts mad and rally the state
around a native son.
So the state fight will not be so
much on Lodges attitude in foreign
relations as on his record in home
affairs.
CASTOR hasn't announced his plat
form and will not until he returns

month hence.
Whipple, though not yet an
