FOk 1ANIAIOtIES
E. A Johnson, of Lodi, Calf, who
will handle a portion of the Fallon
cantaloupo crop this season, and who
is now making preparations for ex-
press shipments early next week, has
received his supply of llthograph
labels, and they are beauties.
He is advertising the Hearts OF
Gold as the Worlds Best" with a
colored lithograph of one of the IA
nous melons cut in half. 1t is one
of the modes of advertising that Mr.
Johnson expects to use in all of his
shipments. In one corner Grown
at Fsllon Nevada" is printed.
In speaking of the seasons possi-
bilities Mr.. Johnson stated that it
looked like fair corp, n little late,
but of excellent quality. II have
made arrangements with the South
ern Pacific Company to supply them
with melons for the dining car SER
vice. and you can rest assured that
tley will get the very best that can
be produced ON the project believe
that this will be a means of adver-
tising the melons and the Newlands
project in general"
Mr.. johnson has brought his field
man with him and the two have been
busy the past several days going over
the contract lands that they have
signed up, 1t is anticipated that ship
ments will be in full swing In the
next two weeks.

SERVING THE FARMERS

There is hardly a day passes but
that the farm bureau is called upon
to furnish men for the farmers. Help
so far has been available through
this source.
Telephone orders are sent to Reno
for men who are sent in either by
train or auto. In a number of in-
stances men have been furnished
within the day.
This convenience has assisted ma
terially in handling the hay crop as
The local men available for such pur-
poses are not sufficient. The second
crop is down in most instances or
being stacked. This crop promises
to be up to the general average which
will place Churchill county far in the
lead as the hay producing county of
the state.

Through the activity of L. E. Cline
and the concession granted by Jack
Flood, the building set apart for ex-
hibits of the local products is being
put into shape for an all fall show
of what is produced on the project
The arrangement while not en-
tirely complete shows to advantage
all of the cerials. small fruits and
hay. Exhibits of vegetables in sea-
son will be made as soon as the
building is arranged to receive them.
The intention is to attract tourists
ard others interested in looking fol-
a place of sediment. Many questions
are answered by the exhibit itself
without explanation as practically
all grains including several varieties
of corn are shown. Vegetables of
every kind will be found on exhibit
ton. while small fruits and varieties
of apples, pears. plums, peaches, apri
cots and table fruits are shown.
Those who have interested them
selves are asking others to do their
share in directing touring parties to
this small but complete show.
Advertising matter will be pro-
yided for those who evince any inter-
est in the products of the project.
Inquiry continues to come to the
chamber of commerce and to Mr..
Cline as to what is possible on the
project. This exhibit will answer
much in this line. especially to the
touring parties who have only a road
side glance of what Is doing in this
valley.
AS soon as the cantaloupes ripen
they will be on exhibit and If the
producers of all classes of market
able products will lend assistance
this show can be kept up to the min
ute with no cost.
There has been lot of work nee
eesary in the assembling and Fallon
is one of the few cities in the state
that can put on such an exhibit.
Send the tourist around and they
can have a demonstration that is
needed to properly advertise the re-
sources of this section.

FIXING UP THE GROUNDS

Workmen have been busy the past
week around the fair grounds and
pavilion and very good showing has
been made. The weeds and trash
have been gathered up and the place
will be spick and span before this
week closes.
Tom Dolf, who is doing a lot of
directing, will see that white wash
is applied where necessary and by
the time the fair opens the pavilion
and grounds will be in excellent con-
dition.

states John Bernham, who took the
matter up following complaints and

With all of the excellent dairy
cows in this project and the abund-
ance of feed there is no excuse for
anything but the best of milk service
and with no adulterations.
Fines can be imposed by the state

Reclamation Commissioner
Pays Visit to Project
Miles Cannon Discusses the Needs OF
Section; More Farmers on Small
Holdings His Suggestion

Miles Cannon, commissioner oil
reclamation, arrived in this city last
Friday morning and spent three days
in the Newlands project. The object
of his visit was to make a persoal
survey of conditions, to look into
the future wants and to advise the
head of the department as to the fu.
ture possibilities of this Nevada pro-
ject.
During the three days spent here
he was interviewed with a number of
tho project farmers, men who are
endeavoring to make better than a
living and who plan for a future.
They talked over the future possi-
bilities, the action of the govern
ment relative to reduction of charges
and the elimination of some charges
which are believed to be unreason-
able. These interviews were invited
by Mr.. Cannon, who is making the
rounds of all of the projects and who
is subject to call at any reasonable
time.
May Name Agent
In an interview Mr.. Cannon init
mated that 1t is probable that an
industrial agent" will be named
whose duties will be to get down to
earth with the people, one who knows
the business and who will work in
accord with settlers. He also stated
that intensive settlement was the
big problem of this project. ''The
holdings are too large in many in
stances and large tracts should be
cut up to accommodate people who
ere seeking homes. Once this scheme
is in force it will solve many of the
charge problems as the burdens will
be more equally divided.
II can perform no services for the
people until we get into very close
accord and understand each others
problems. On that mission | am here
now, will remain until Sunday, and
will return as often as is necessary.
VIII Work with Settlers
1.-THE first thing that appeared to
me in my new duties was that in
dustrial conditions on the projects
must be put into order" declared
the commissioner. "The people must
be led to know that the government
is trying to cooperate with them
each water used to become booster
for his government, his state and his
community. and to appreciate what
the government is trying to do for
him,
when these things are put into
order the next step is to get quail
fled water users in numbers suffi-
eient to occupy all the available acre.
age on the project. These. I con.
slider, are the things of paramount
Importance, and I am hoping that
my program to this end will be ap-
proved soon by the department. The
Reclamation Bureau can do nothing
of it's own accord. 1t is the wato-
users in the end who will bring about
success"
Reduction of land holdings and
corresponding reduction of costs is
his idea of betterment. Where one
family is supported now several
should exist. This in turn would
hiring ahout market conditions from
The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-08-15

the outside, as once a substantial
production is guaranteed the market
men can seek the supply.
Would Option Lands
"Options on these large holdings
should be secured and homeseekers
would deal with a representative OF
the bureau instead of possibly land
shark or some irresponsible solicitor
Prospective buyers should be fur
nished with accurate information.
This agent should advise with
farmers on markets, tariff rates,
shipping, planting and harvesting 3
methods. He should cooperate with
federal. state and county agents In
the control of pests and the eradica-
tion of livestock diseases.
"In section like the Newlands
project 1t is my belief that efforts of
the Reclamation Bureau could effect
lively be turned toward aiding in the
establishment of industries such as
canning plants, dairies, creameries
and cheese factories. The bureau
could assist water users in availin !.
themselves of federal farm loans and
other credits when deserved. Closer
cooperation with commercial bodies
can be brought about"
Coast Headquarters
Mr. Cannon stated that while at
present he had no headquarters that
he hoped to set up such offices in
Sacramento and from that office,
which is reasonably near all of the
projects, that 1t would be easier to
offer cooperation with the people of
this section. This matter. he stated
has been taken up with the depart
mnt and he hopes that such a pro-
gram will be approved.
"It is my hope to bring this about
without adding single employe to
the Reclamation Bureau" Mr.. Can
non laid considerable stress on this
point. II believe that the bureau
should relax a little in its engineer
ing and concentrate on production.
This will make 1t possible to divert
energy from one line to another with
out additional expense to the water
users who, under the law, must pay
the BILL"
Believes in Publicity
Mr.. Cannon is a firm believer in
publicity and If his plans are adopted
the government will take up a plan
Of advertising for homeseekers. He
stated that with government adYer-
tising in all camp grounds. in public
places and in the many places avail
able to bureau heads that this and
other porjects could be called to the
attention of the homeseekers.
''The tendency is to move west.
ward, and many do not stop until
they reach the coast, this is especial
ly true of the auto tourist. Some
come back and both the east and
west tourist should be given a chance
to SETTLE"
Mr.. Cannon met Friday morning
with the irrigation board at a special
called meeting, and started his day
of work with interviews with farmers
who had come into Fallon for that
purpose. The commissioner was ac-
companied by P. w. Dent, legal coun-
sci for the Bureau of Reclamation
of San Francisco.

tended as Far as
Funds Permit

At the regular meeting of the city
council held last week considerable
business for the betterment of this
city was transacted. 1t was stated by
City Engineer Young that 1000 yards
of HaZen gravel had been secured for
city street purposes and that the
grayeling from Williams Avenue to
richards street was practically COM
Jleted.
The next important street improve
ment will be the graveling of north
Maine street from Williams Avenue
10 the Verdi Lumber Company's Of
flee. This gravel will be "a feet
wide and It is believed that 1t will
greatly improve the condition of this
street which is one of the busiest of
Fallon Work of spreading the grav-
Il is we'll under way on this section.
Side streets will receive all the
attention possible, so it was announc-
cd and as funds are available gravel
will be used to improve cross streets
through this city.
The abandoned Scott ditch will be
filled this being the original inten-
tion. The street will, be rounded to
the eonrete center along Saltwater
avenue and the drain line estab-
lished. The tractor and leveler have
been employed almost continuously
the past month and there will be
another month of active road build
ing by the city.
Limited Power
Owing to the limited power the
proposal and application for electric
power for cooking and extension of
lines will not be undertaken this sea-
son owing to lack of surplus power.
Another year when the new penstock
at the Lahontan dam is in working
condition it is believed that there
will be some electric energy avail
able for such purposes as suggested.
c. L. Benadum was granted per-
mission TO move a hydrant from in
front of his new service station to
another point nearby.
A report from the water pumping
station shows that the two units have
been combined and that the supply
of water seems abundant despite the
heavy drain that has been put on 1t
during the concrete laying and street
work.
The city council and county COM
missioners are to have a joint meet
ing in September to discuss division

Concessions to handle amusement

trees were declared necessities by the
council members.
Councilman Maupin wanted some
way to control peddlers who invade
this city with their goods stacked
outside of the city limits. Unsortun-
ately there Is no law TO handle the
situation.
A petition asking that the street
sprinkler man be allowed to work
six days and rest on Sunday was con-
sidered, but after viewing the fact
that the sprinkler man will be off
the job all winter and late in the
spring. and that dust would aecum-
ulate over Sunday It was decided to
continue the seven day work on the
roads.
