HERD TESTING ASSOCIA-
TION BEGINS OCTOBER 4

The attitude of local dairymen to-
ward the proposed Herd Testing AS
sociation has been very encouraging
and plans are made to begin the ac-
tual work of testing by October 1st.
A tester has been secured, subject
to the approval of the association
and testing equipment and a Ford
runabout are being put into condi-
ton, so that there need be no delay
in carrying on the work.
In order that the cost of operat-
ing the association may be held
down to the minimum, at least 1000
cows should be entered in the as
sociation. With the aid and super
vision given by the Department of
Agriculture the cost per animal
should not exceed $3.50 per year
per cow If the number materially
passes the 1000 mark this cost may
be reduced. Membership is being
signed up on the basis of $3.50 per
COW per year.
Surely no enterprising dairyman
with ambition to build his herd up
to the highest possible production
will hesitate to invest $3.50 per cow
in an association that will give him
definite information about the rela-
tive merits of the individuals of his
herd.
In order to make dairying on the
Newlands project an attractive and
profitable industry, we must know
that each animal is worthy of her
keep and that her offspring will be
valuable addition to the herd In
the future.
Application for membership in the
association will be received in my
Office at Commercial Club rooms.

Project Dairy Herds
Increasing Rapidly
Will Have Valley Fully Stocked BY
1925; Fourteen New Herds
During Past Year

Dairy COWS will provide US with
an alfalfa market in the near fu-
ture," says l.. &. Cline, government
agriculturist. with our present
start in dairying and a reasonable
natural increase in dairy animals,
there is every reason to believe that
by the year, 1926, this valley should
be sufficiently stocked with produc-
ing dairy cattle to provide the best
market in the world for our alfalfa
nay crop.
I'm addition to the natural in
crease in our dairy cattle popula-
tion, we have had importations
amounting to from 500 to 500 dairy
cows pc ryear. During the past
year this number has reached 600
head. The future is sure to bring
greater importations and help to
shorten the time when there will be
no need for shipping alfalfa hay out
of the Lahontan Valley. 1t will be
great day for this valley when all
profits from the feeding of alfalfa
hay, as well as from the growing OF
it, can be kept within the boundar-
les of our project"

ticularly in the domain of taxation.

vidiual members of the board did
not always agree with the chairman

his ability, eminent fairness and
grasp of all the details of state ad-

the varied industries were inyalu-

ed" for time and showed deep

resume of the history of tax adjust
ment during the last decade or two

county assessors in the work by fix
ing assessment values and in ironing
out differences in the interests of
uniformity and state tax collection,
saying that IL is this element that
makes the work democratic and di-
rectly responsive to the will of the
people.

tion for his work and responded with

BRITISH EMBARGO ON AAfERI-
CAN WIRELESS APPARATUS

Great Britain has put into effect
for two years an embargo against
all foreign-manufactured wireless
sets. 1t is not known yet whether
this applies only to sets or also in
cludes all wireless apparatus. The
embargo is directed especially
against American and German man
ufacturers. Further the government
will not allow aerials to be erected
except by those who have secured a
license, which will cost $3.50 each.
The government is to turn over half
of all license receipts to the broad
casting company. Considerable at
tention has been paid to the British
position by our own National gov
ernment, and in Washington where
the matter is discussed there are
some rather caustic comments on
free trade Britain" enforcing an
embargo to shut American manufac-
turers of wireless apparatus out OF
the country.

Work is progressing rapidly on
the new building of the Fallon Ga
rage. The repair shop which is
nearing completion will have roof
of the "saw-tooth" design which will
give that department the best pos.

have three gables with windows in

walls and floors, fire doors between
the different departments, and an
automatic alarm system will reduce
the fire hazard to a minimum.
