Live Stock Growers Must Unite ans

vada Stockgrower contains a letter
written to it by Jerry Sheehan,
vice-president of the First National
bank of Winnemucca, and manager
of The Northern Nevada Loan As
sociation, which is handling U. S.
War Finance Corporation loans in
Northern Nevada and inasmuch as
the letter certainly merits the con-
sideration of all Humboldt county
stockgrowers and is self-explana-
tory, The Silver State takes pleas
iure in submitting the letter to its
readers:
"1f you remember in Mr.. Meyers
talk before the American National
Livestock Association in Denver
last August, he called particular at
tention to the necessity of better
inspection system and some changes
in the legislation Of various states
looking to the standardizing of the
machinery for the protection of the
security offered by live stock men
and suggested to the association
whether is would not be good thing
to organize and license a corps OF
experienced and competent inspec.
tors SO that a banker making q
livestock loan could obtain a Ger.
tificate of an inspector made unde,
the authority of the association
AS study financial needs of the
breeders of livestock, this particular
point is very important if we are
to receive the proper recognition
for livestock paper in financial cen.
ters.
81 thing made a suggestion tc
you to the effect that your associa
tion should appoint a livestock in
spector of Nevada, and perhaps oul
loan association, if we could avai
ourselves of his services, woule
be able to pay one half of such al
inspectors salary. 90 course, thi.
is only a suggestion as there are
many things to be considered. A,
our association only covers a few o.
the counties, the service of such al
inspector would only be necessar,
perhaps two or three months in tn,
year. The Importance of this ste,
leads me to think that some kint
of legislation is necessary in ordel
to give such an inspector or inspec
tors the proper authority and al
official capacity. This is matte,
l would be glad to have you con
slider before the next session of tn,
legislature.
"1n the meantime our Northerr
Nevada Loan Association has Sc
cured the services of S. G.. Lamb
former sheriff of this county and ,
thorough stockmen, as our officia
inspector. He is now conductin,
and classifying and looking int,
other conditions of livestock il
which our association and the Wa
Finance Corporation are interested
A man of his qualifications woul,
be very valuable to the livestocl
industry Of this state"
This is one of number of mat
ter in which Nevada sheep an,
cattle growers must be ready t,
take up at the coming meeting
1t is up to the stock grower
Of Nevada, to "Put their house il
order" in a number of essentials i
they are interested in wiping out
number of reasons why they are no
receiving better treatment iron
agencies with which they mus
deal and if sthey are to expect t.
be able to grow and market thei
crops to advantage. Individua
stockgrowers as individuals canno
do the job. All must get togethe
and move togther in these matters
II the needed headway is to b
| made.
