Commercial Club
Discusses Affairs
Beets, Bugs and Money Theme Of
Recent Important
Meeting

Monday evening the board oi
directors Of the Churchill County
Chamber Of Commerce held q meet.
ing with portion of the board in
attendance. The object of the meet.
ing was to discuss program of &C.
tivity for the ensuing year. 1t re-
suited in considerable discussion but
no definite program being mapped
Much time was given to the discus
sion of beet culture this coming year,
with the idea. II possible, to start
the sugar factory. This is still In the
air with instructions to the secretary
to take the matter up further with
Mr.. Hubbard, and get some definite
proposition that will assure the beet
farmers profit on their labor.
Complaint was made by several OF
those present that the factory people,
not being in the agricultural end of
the game and not having a financial
interest in the money end of the cul-
ture, have not made success either
for the factory or the farmers.
1t is proposed that a proposition
be submitted to the factory people
on a fifty-fifty basis; that is, that
the factory heads join issues with
the farmers on culture, costs and
losses IL such should happen, while
If profits accrue that the same rule
prevail. 1t is along this line that
something Is proposed. It was
stated that If such q proposition
could be made under a guarantee
bond, that plenty of acreage would
be signed up. 1t was further stated
that the people of this section are
anxious to make sugar production q
financial success, and that it can
only be done by a cooperative meth
cd between the factory and the beet
growers.
The question of funds to continue
the work of the club received the
major part of discussion, and while a
drive will have to be put over in the
near future, the old, or outstanding
debts should be paid, or at least q
portion sufficient to clean the slate.
Fallon is having the same difficulty
as Reno, Carson and other sections,
but it is realized that the club is as
much of a necessity as the farm bu-
reau if success is to be established
in civic undertakings.
1t was agreed that the weevil is
coming this way and that within an
other year this county, like Washoe,
will be bottled in quarantine. The
club members discussed the matter
extensively and it was agreed that
movements must be started toward
other farming ventures, home feed
ing of stock, more dairy cows, pigs
and poultry 1t was shown that
Utah, despite the weevil, is not cry
ing hard times, but is making a home
market for its alfalfa.
In order to combat the weevil, and
the many little bugs that are contin-
ually getting in the road. it is abso-
lutely necessary for the people of
this section to get together and
assist the chamber of commerce to
stay on its feet.

loud and often over the treatment,
he finally came through with five
dollar fine. 1t is understood that It
is to be framed, that is, the receipt
for the fine. Suppose this good citi-
zen and business man had taken this
familiarity with a fire plug in Reno
or Carson or Yerington he would
have framed twenty-five dollar re-
ceipt. There is nothing like being
city broke right here at home as it is
less expensive. The traffic man has
his eagle eye peeled for several of
the other business men who have
been making it habit to cut In and
cut out at just the wrong time, with
out SO much as dropping a hand to
advise the driver behind or in front
or side-wise. There may be consid-
cradle business for the framing man
from all appearances.

strong in the dignity Of medicine or
the law.
