The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-12-26

.nrist, who has fathered to a large
extent the development of the dairy
states that within another year that
| a like advancement can be expected.
as a great deal of the young stock
sill be milking and a number of
additions to dairies are planned by
people who are working for the fa-
ure.
1t Is stated at the Churchill County
Bank that cream checks have prae-
tically doubled within the year, and
where formerly they were a rareity
they now occupy a considerable part
in the daily marketing among the
merchants. IL has been shown
through farm bureau figures that
better than a quarter of a million
dollars will have core to the farmers
from this source. In practically ey-
cry instance the increase in dairying
has been a factor in prosperity IN
this valley.
The years testing for cream ef-
ficieney has been one of satisfaction
10 all concerned and will be con-
tinued through another year.
CantaIoupes Prove Profitable
The cantaloupe crop through the
section proved a money maker to
those who carried on the culture.
Returns that have been made were
so satisfactory that additional acre
age will contribute this coming sea-
son and the Weaver people will move
their headquarters to this city and
abandon the Rocky Ford section In
preference to that OF the Newlands
project This result was obtained
despite a very poor growing season.
and 1t has been demonstrated that
there is no real failure in this line.
Fruit in Abundance
Fruit in abundance was harvested
over the entire project. Apples.
peaches, pears, plums and most of
the small fruit including berries re-
suited in a considerable sum being
added to the bank roll Of those who
planted and handled the crops on
commercial basis.
Additional acreage is planned for
celery, onions and lettuce. as 1t has
been found that the project produces
a very superior quality of such and
a ready market has been found. This
is especially true in regard to celery
as the demand has exceeded the
supDlv with no concerted effort to
find markets.
Potato Crop Valuable
SpndB have in some instances been
lifters. as there Is prac-
tleally no surplus left on the project.
The introduction of clean seed in
he spring and the grading for ship
nent resulted in early disposal at
lair profits to all over fifty carloads
of graded potatoes have left the
project, which practically cleans up
he available graded stock for for
eign shipments.
From indications there will be ad-
litional acreage given over to potato
this coming season, as the
establishment of graded and label
I'd variety has forced a market that
h retofore had TO be sought, and
doubtful returns we're always men
ace to the parties handling such ship
ments.
Hay Market Firm
The hay market this fall has been
firm and while some
early hay was contracted at a low
rate. the majority of the crop that
was available for export has brought
a profitable price TO those who have
marketed. Prices ranged from s12.5o
to SIS per ton and there 1t little hay
left for speculation. Unlike last sea-
son the buyers have been able to
profit as we'll as the producers which
is satisfactory to all concerned.
Alfalfa Mill Grinding
One of the most noticeable come
backs on the project is the alfalfa
mill conducted by the |. II. Kent
Company. A year ago 1t seemed that
this industry was doomer, and but
for the efforts of |. II. Kent 1t would
have died a natural death. BY con-
slant inquiry and work market In
the east and south was established
and at the present time the mill Is
working to capacity, and among tho
heaviest shipments over the Southern
Pacific will be from the manure
tured and labeled product of tho
Kent mill. Hundreds of tons OF nay
since early fall have been sent
through the Panama canal and to
southern and eastern water ports
