10000 POUNDS WOOL
SHIPPED FROM COUNTY

The Importance of the wool-grow-
ing industry in Churchill county is
indicated by figures from the farm
bureau Office which show that co.
600 pounds of wool have been ship
ped from Fallon alone this season.
AS there are over 10000 sheep in
the county IL is estimated that the
10000 pounds of wool already ship
ped does not represent anywhere
near the total of this seasons shear
ing. The price of wool has ad-
vanced rapidly during the past few
weeks from 21 cents to the present
price of 35 cents. An average re-
turn of % cents a pound has been
received by Churchill county wool
growers this season, The price of
lambs has advanced along with the
wool $40 to $11 per hundred weight
now being received.

CantaIoupe Crop

Conditions More Favorable
Than Last Year
WAVED PAPER COVER
PREVENTS FROST DAMAGE
Increased Interest and Care of Crop
Being Displayed BY
Growers

A survey last week OF the eanta-
loupe acreage in this valley by Goun-
ty Agent Reed of the farm bureau
shows prospects for a big production
this year. There are 430 acres now
under cultivation by members of the
Churchill County Cantaloupe Grow
ers Association and ii is estimated
that there are at least another 100
acres being grown by independent
growers. Two acres of cantaloupes
are expected to produce carload OF
melons and at this rate there Is ey-
cry reason to believe that the pro-
duction In this county will reach al
least $50 cars.
The use of waxed paper TO cover
the young plants has prevented a
great deal of loss from the frosts of
last week. The season is now so far
advanced that there is little danger
of any further freezing and with the
present stands which are considered
from 80 to 80 per cent perfect there
is every reason to believe that the

Through the advice and coopera-
tion Of the county farm bureau
much better care and attention is be-
ing given TO the melon growing by
farmers this year than before. Care
ful selection of seed and the treat
ing of same for the destruction of
eel-worm. proper depth of planting,
preparation of soil, care in irrigat-
ing properly. and the use of waxed
paper to prevent damage from frost
are some of the things that have
been advocated by the farm bureau
and will no doubt be the cause of
greatly increased production this
year.

the race for the Democratic nomina-

has recently been analyzing the sit

there exists an opportunity for an
aggressive campaign through the

MUCH WORK BEING DONE
IMPROVING COUNTY ROADS

Dudley & Dodge Bros, after COM
pleting their road contract, have put
80 head of horses hauling gravel for
the county roads during the past two
weeks, the work of the teams being
practically a donation. People in
the Sheckler district have done lot
of work on the road west of the Ex-
pertinent farm and have finished
graveling half a mile of road. J. n.
Tedford is hauling gravel for the
road south of the Experiment farm
with six wagons and sixteen head of
horses
The county commissioners instead
of asking a donation in full, agreed
to pay 10 cents per yard mile for
hauling which II is understood Just

Excepting the first inning Willie
Steve the elongated Indian pitcher
of the Fallon Baseball team had the
Yerington team biting the dust
while his team mates were display
Ing inside ball such as is seldom
seen on the home lot.
Yerington looked like real trouble
in the first inning when they put
three scores across, but Fallon Sc
cured two in their half of the same
inning and in the second inning they
got to the visiting pitcher for seven
hits and ten men crossed the home
plate. 1t was case of head work
and clean execution on the part of
the men at the bat for the home
team; they bunted and ran bases
like mad men, putting their oppon-
ents to flight in record time. After
that inning the score was never in
doubt.
Sanford again starred at bat de-
liyering four hits out of five times
to the rubber. Noble Waite, Fail
Ions fast third sacker showed an
unusual burst of speed on bases. be-
ing credited with five stolen bases.
The Fallon team and directors
feel sorely the loss of their stellar
catcher Prince who has received a
merited promotion from the Stand

URGE CONSTRUCTION
of New Post Office
fort TO Revive Long Delayed
Building Plans

Plans for the construction of a
new post Office building in Fallon
which have been neglected since be-
fore the war were discussed at the
Chamber of Commerce meeting Mon
day evening An appropriation of
s54. 200 was made several years ago
by the federal government for this
purpose. and is now and has ever
since been available The govern
ment also owns lot which was pur-
chased at the same time that the
appropriation was made and 1t is
understood that plans and specifica-
tions for the building have been pre-
pared So far as is known work OF
construction can be started when
aver the post office department gives
the word.
The Chamber of Commerce decid-
ed to send communication to the
post Office department requesting
that work be started Immediately on
the building Representative in
congress from the state of Nevada
will be notified of the move being
made and will be urged TO use their
influence in having the desired ac-
tion taken.
II has been the hope of local peo-
pie in the past that a larger approp-
riation than S54,00 might be made
so that a federal building could be
built large enough to include the Of
fees of the reclamation service. II
Is now believed that any effort to
get another appropriation through
congress would be doomed to failure
and would only result in further de-
laying the work of construction.

H. w. Huskey To Try
for Seat in Congress
cratic Campaign for Nomination
In September

The machinery of the eongression-
al mill has been accelerated follow
ing the senatorial furry of the last
two weeks and it has produced the
first definite Democratic move In the
announcement by former state Sem
ator II. W. Huskey that he will be
a candidate for the congressional
nomination at the primaries in Sep
tember, says the Reno Gazette.
Most Nevadans are familiar with
Mr.. Huskey's political career, he
having served in both houses of the
legislature. He was elected to the
assembly in 1905, two years after
he established his residence in Ne
vada, and during the session of 1907
he was given the important post of
chairman of the assembly judiciary
committee. In 1914, he was sent to
the state senate from Washoe coun-
ty and three years later he prepared
and sponsored the direct primary
law which was forced through the
senate after bitter fight. Mr..
Huskey also is credited with having
while a member of the assembly, in
troduced and secured the passage of
the so-called negotiable instruments
law and Nevada's first employers Ii
ability act.
After graduating from Stanford
University in 1904, Mr.. Huskey came
to Reno and established a law prac-
tiee. forming a partnership with the
late Charles X. Levers, who had
been his law teacher at Stanford.
Prior to his matriculation In the
California university. Huskey was
himself a teacher in the schools of
Kansas and was successfully princi-
pal and superintendent of the insti-
tions with which he was connected.
He was reared ON a farm in the
Ozark mountains of Southern Mis-
souri, and later, before taking up
teaching, he assisted his parents in
farming in the wheat belt of Kansas
and also in Texas.
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1922-05-31

Before making his announcement,
Senator Huskey consulted Charles
L. Richards, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee. He
went to Mr.. Richards to ascertain
whether the latter had concluded to
become candidate. He was inform
ed by the state chairman that he
had not arrived at definite conclu-
ey decided to make the race. Huskey
is an aggressive campaigner and no
doubt will cut quite swath in the
Democratic primaries

 and In-Betweens:
 When the holiday season comes along authors become a little bolder, you know, and creep out from their caves or away from their pencils and pens and typewriters and try to catch glimpses of some of their readers. It's not possible for them to see them all But I have seen many of my readers with my eyes shut, and at this time love to shut my eyes and think of those readers. I can see them in small rooms and big rooms, rooms where there are good old warm lamps by which to read and rooms where cleo tric lights shine down on the pages, or gas light. And I see them reading of that best of all friends-Santa Claus-and of his dog, Boy of the North, and of Santa's magic telescope, through which he can see the smiles of lRs many friends when they open their gifts on Christmas morning. I see them reading of old MT. Giant and Witty Witch and the Fairy WOndrOus Secrets and the Dreamland King, of Gypsy Haze and Midgie Moon and the good Old Man himself and MT. Sun And as I can see them reading in all these rooms all over the country wish I knew them all. For I'd like to tell them that they are really the creators of these stories! It is because they like them, because they encourage and
