MARKETING FIRST
IN BUREAU PLAN.
National Convention Outlines Work
to be Followed by Movement NJ s@}
During Coming Year. I

Energetic prosecution of nation
wide cooperative marketing program
will be the Watch-word in the Farr.
Bureau movement in 1923. This was
determined at the annual conventiop
held at Chicago, Dec. II to ID. o.
E. Bradfute was unanimusly elected
pesidert after j. H. Howard, who
had held office since the national or
ganization was formed three years
ago, refused to permit his name to
be placed before the convention.
j. +. Reed, president of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau Federation was
elected member of the national
executive committee. With him serv-
ing from the Midwest states will
be Howard Leonard of Illinois and
w. H. Settle Of Indiana. There are
nine from othef sections on the
board. W. H. Walker of California
was named vice president. Mr..
Brad'ute has been president of the
Ohio federation for several years and
has been moving spirit behind the
commodity marketing movement in
that state. where a large number of
farmcr-owned selling agencies have
been organized under Farm Bureau
leadership.
When the convention opened, there
were two schools of thought; one
which held that marketing should be
the major theme of the organization
in the future, as in the past, and the
other that educational and research
activities should be stressed. Before
the convention was two days old, the
| marketing men were far in the ma
jority and soon passed resolutions
which placed the farm bureau more
than ever at the head of the cooper
ative< sailing effort in this country.
The convention. time and again,
expressed itself as determined to
obtain relief for farmers,S:who find
| themselves confronted with the fact
that their dollars worth are only 62
cents, while those of other industries
are worth sl.54.
Bernard M. Baruch, New York f.
nancier, suggested to the convention
the formation of nation wide bank
ing structure, patterned after the
Federal Reserve system, but designed
to primarily serve agriculture, that
would give adequate service to
| farmers.
| The convention pledged ITSELF to
| help editors obtain relief from the
burden imposed on them by the
present excessive second class post
age rates.
| Continuance Of the war on the
common rust bearing barberry, tho
European corn borer and bovine tu-
berculosis was urged.
Frank O. Lowden, former governor
Of Illinois, told the delegates that
only better marketing would save
j the thousands of good farmers,
! farming good land as we'll as they
could, who have been unable to make
both ends meet.
Official reports showed that while
the organization has been going
through the settling process during
the last year, it's cash receipts had
been 20 per cent more than in 1921.
during the convention, women dele
gates held several sessions, at which
home economies problems were con-
! sidered.

ODD FELLOWS
MASTER COMING

TAFT Williams, Grand Master of the
Odd Fellows lodges of Nevada, will
pay the Gardnerville lodge an official
visit on Saturday evening, May 18th,
according to information received
from Reno yesterday.
On this occasion, Grand Master
Williams will be accompanied by the
degree team of the Reno lodge and
the work of the first degree will be
exemplified. The Reno degree team
is one of the best on the Pacific Coast
and at big gathering of Odd Fellows
at Santa Rosa, Cal. last fall received
hearty commendation for the splendid
manner in which the degree work was
put on.
Members of the Gardnerville lodge
have already started plans for the en-
tertainment of the Grand Master and
members of the degree team and 1t
is expected that 1t will be one of the
largest attended Odd Fellows doings
held here in many years.

IS DISMISSED

In an opinion and order the Ne
vada public service commission Sat-
urday dismissed the case instituted
for the purpose determining the
amount of license fee to be paid by
the Ginocchios for operation of their
heavy trucks over the highway be-
tween Reno and Gardnerville. The
commission found that the Ginoc-
chios make use of 61.31 miles of third
class road-a mileage more than
double that of the first and second
classes combined-and that payment
should accordingly be In the twenty
five cents per hundred weight basis
for dirt roads. When the case was
heard before the commission a show
ing was made to the effect that be-
cause of detours, around ire east side
of Washoe lake trops, service to
ranches in the Franktown district
and Gesoa AMI Sheridan the concrete
between the two terminals is really
little used.

CREAM GRADING
STARTS JULY !

The adoption of system of grad
ing cream will go into effect at the
Minden creamery July first, accord
ing to statement made by Manager
Cardinal this week. A circular let
ter is being prepared and will be
mailed to all the patrons OF the
creamery within the next few days
which fully explains the system that
has been adopted and suggestions in
caring for cream.
Low-grade cream has tendency
to lower the standard of the pro-
duct manufactured by the creamery
and II Is to raise this standard that
the grading OF cream has been de-
cided upon. All model creameries
throughout the county have put the
cream grading program into effect
1t works no hardship on the pro-
ducers and with little care, all
cream may be kept in the first and
second grade.

GOES EAST To
PURCHASE STOCK

Ben Cardinal, manager of the Min
den creamery, who was selected as
purchasing agent for the Carson Val
ley Dairy Association, left this week
for the East where he will purchase
two carloads of registered Shorthorn
and Hereford bulls for members of
the association.
Mr.. Cardinal spent several weeks
last fall inspecting dairy stock in
eastern states and through knowledge
thus gained, is well posted on stock
centers where purchases may be
made with advantage. His first stop
will be at Denver, Colorado, where he
expects to purchase a number of
Shorthorn Durham bulls. From that
point he will go to Wisconsin and
Michigan where Hereford stock pre-
dominates. All bulls to be purchased
by Mr.. Cardinal will be triple test
ed animals and subject to a further
test to be made six months after the
purchase Is made. Every precaution
is to be taken to secure the very best
of sires and under the triple test,
there is practically no possibility of
getting diseased stock.
Through recent investigations 1t
has been ascertained that the aver
age production of dairy cows in this
Valley is about 125 pounds of butter
fatp er year By the purchase of a
better grade of sires it is hoped that
within a few years thisa verage will
be raised to at least three hundred
pounds of butter-fat per year. This
will mean bigger profits to the dairy
men and increased production of
creamery products.
The purchase of the bulls to be
made by Mr.. Cardinal is more of an
experiment 1t is said, and If results
are obtained as hoped for by dairy
men, the importation of pure-bred
dairy sires will be made on a much
more elaborate scale.

SPANISH PLAY
AT HIGH SCHOOL

On the evening of May 4th, the
combined Spanish Glasses of the
Douglas County High School are 60
ing to give a regular Spanish enter
tainment in the high school audi
torium. The students are working
hard to make this evenings enter
tainment a huge success and from
all reports it looks as though they
are going to be successful in their
undertaking. They are staging two
short Spanish plays; some Spanish
singing and dancing, and an honest
to-goodness bull fight. This, they say,
will be the sensation of the evening.
After the program, a free dance
will follow, in which it is hoped
every one will take part and have a
good time.

CROP SEASON
HAS STARTED

After five months of winter, spring
is here at last, and during the past
week or ten days the weather has
been warm and as result crops are
growing splendidly and the alfalfa
fields OF Carson Valley have taken on
their hue of velvet green. Grain crops
are doing well and the farmers are
now busily engaged in irrigating pas
ture land and getting things in shape
for summer work.
The continued cold weather has held
back the orchards and many believe
that an abundant fruitc rop will be
the result AS yet the orchards are
not in bloom and it will probably be
at least two weeks before blossoms
appear.
Sheep and lambs are being pastured
in alfalfa fields In many parts of the
Valley, but 1t will not be long before
the fiocks are started to the hills or
lower mountain ranges where feed is
said to be growing rapidly.

PASSESAWAY

Alex Millar, pioneer resident of
this Valley, and one of the best known
citizens of Douglas County, passed
away at his home in this community
last Thursday afternoon. AS had been
his custom for the past several years,
Mr.. Millar took nap after lunch. He
slept longer than usual and about 3
o'clock a member of his family went

he had entered everlasting rest and
that his spirit had silently and peace
fully broken the tender chord of life
and waited its way to Him who gave
1t.

ployment of the late H. F. Dang
berg as blacksmith. After a few
years he took unto himself a wife
and built home at what Is known
as Millerville and where he also
opened a blacksmith shop. A work
man of exceptional skill he soon be-
came known throughout this section
and his business uourished During
the past few years, because. of fail
ing health, he would only accept
small jobs and few days before his
death. Mr.. Millar was at work at his
forge.

esteem by all who knew him and
was a man of exceptional character.

years. Rev. Willis of the Methodist
Church officiated at the funeral. In
terment took place in the Genoa
cemetery, the resting place of many
of the pioneer men and women of
Carson Valley.

FISHING
OPENS MAY FIRST

Fishing season in both Alpine and
Douglas counties will open Monday.
May 1st. The opening of the fishing
season in Alpine county on that date
is authenticated by information sent
this paper by Mrs. Mary Gray, clerk
of that county.
While 1t will be lawful to fish in
any of the streams of the two coun-
ties named, commencing next Monday,
it is doubtful, however, II the diciples
of Isaac Walton will have any luck.
because of the high water that has
resulted from the warm weather OF
the past week. Both forks OF the
Carson are quite high and the water
is very muddy.
According to information. It Is pos
sible to find good fishing In Hope VAL
ley for those who feel inclined to
walk over several miles Of snow to
reach the fishing ground.
Local fishermen have been voicing
their disapproval OF the Nevada fish
laws, which opens the season on the
Truckee river April 10th and in this
section on May 1st, claiming the con-
ditions on both rivers are Identical and
that there Is no valid reason why law
governing fishing on these streams
should not be uniform as to the OPEN
ing of the season.
