Newlands Project In Lead
With Dairy Products
Farm Bureeu Man Sees Conditions as
They Exist East and West

"The Newlands Project is better
supplied with dairy cattle than any
of the projects that | visited in my
trip east and west" was the remark
of L. E. Cline upon his return from
the general conference held in Wash
ington where members of the farm
bureau from every project met to
talk things over. In speaking of his
trip he further stated, 81 find that
considering general conditions over
the United States and especially in
regard to federal projects the New
lands Project ranks high. This is es-
pecially true of the dairying, as DUR
ing the past year or more the project
has realized that 1t Is going to be
the dairy that is their future for
ready money. Some of the projects
have not gone into the dairy business
as they have other crops that bring
in the necessary money to keep the
pot boiling, but after looking over
the situation l am convinced that
this project has considerable lead
over the others with every prospect
of larger returns to those who are
sticking to the proposition that the
dairy cow is going to help over hard
times.
while east l learned that the
prices for pork and veal received
here ranges somewhat higher than in
the middle west or south and it must
be remembered that the farmers of
those sections have to put their pork
and cattle in even better condition
than do the people of this project.
This is occasioned by closer competi-
ton and the sending to the big pack
ct, where they exact the best in the
land.
"The conference l believe will re-
suit in much good to all of the pro-
jects,s as discussion of relief, of farm
ing methods and the adoption of pro-
ducts fitted to the various projects
will be intensified If the men head
ing the farm bureaus can have their

During the past week |. d. Hale of
Los Angeles, representing C. H. Wea-
yer & Co., of Chicago, commission
merchants, went over the cantalouee
situation with the farmers and others
interested in this important industry.
1t is practically a certainty that
Fallon will ship melons next summer
and portion of the product through
the agency of Mr.. Hale. In talking
over the Fallon melon he said,
THE trade mark, or trade name,
Hearts of Gold" is worth lot to
this district. Other sections have
tried for several years to aftix a
catching trade name to their pro-
ducts, and while some have failed
others are making good, such as
"Sunkissed Oranges, and other pro-
ducts produced mainly in California.
This trade name affixed to the Fallon
section should be used entirely, no
other marking name should be at
tached to any of the melon exports,
as it immediately becomes confusing,
while on the other hand two years
of marketing under the name has
fixed it in the minds of the people,
Another thing that care should be
taken in is seed. Only the best OF

has been the success with the Rocky

has made that one district famous,
and If they should attempt to intro
duce a new variety 1t would spoil
the game. The section now lives on
its reputation and keeps it clean.
The same must be done by Fallon
and the whole district when they
cater or ask for outside trade.
"I know what the Fallon mUlon is.
We have had samples and know of
their excellent quality and they are
admitted by all of the commission

The Churchill County Civic League
organized last fall, now has fifty
members. A membership campaign
will be launched this month the pur-
pos of which is to bring the list OF
members up to at least one hundred.
The club desires to bring more wo-
men from the country into the orr
ganization in order that its activities
may be more representative of the
entire. community.
To this end a colonial tea will be
given on Washington birthday at
the chamber of commerce club rooms
and all women of the country are in
vited. The tea will be held probably
from to 6 o'clock.
A program is being considered.
The membership committee has
asked Mrs. e. b. Loring. president,

Fallon is not alone in the demand
that the Lincoln Highway be made
passable to the coming auto tourist
trade this summer. Other sections
of the state have awakened to the
fact that the poor piece of road ex-
listing between Carson and Fa1lon is
a barrier to the directing of auto
travel into this valley, the one pro-
ject center where the homeseeker can
positively secure land and water.
With possibly a ten mile barrier be-
tween the capital of the state and the
government project, including the
only river impounding reservoir in
the state, much in the way of trade
and settlement is shut out. The
people of the project are asking that
this section of road be taken over
and maintained by the state, that 1t
may be a feature in state advertising
and an incentive to bring settlers
onto the lands that are available.
The road is included in the official
highway map, as section of the Lin
coin Highway. That few miles of
bad roads and condemn miles of real
road is the regret. A recent issue
of the Lincoln Highway Association
Bulletin states:
THE Lincoln Highway Association
organized ten years ago, has spent
5000, 10000 to make the Lincoln
Highway from Mem York TO San
Francisco a connected, improved
highway from coast to coast and
the best-known road In the world.
The Lincoln Highway marker or
trade mark of red, white and blue
means something to very large pro-
portion of American motorists.
This great road Is nearing salts
factory completion. 1t is a great
deal nearer completion at the end OF
ten years of effort than its founders
ever thought 1t would be. over $47,-
00O,000.00 have been spent on the
Improvement of the route"
Fallon and Churchill county have
received a share of this Lincoln
Highway money. in fact the major
part spent in Nevada has been de-
voted to Fallon. but the one remain
ing link, possibly ten miles, is the
source of complaint, and that leads
10 the capital of the state.

would not be here as my health is
perfectly all right without coming to
Nevada in the winter time.
'The main thing this coming sum-
mer, if cantafoupes are to be put out
on a commercial basis, is to see that
they are up to the former standard,
that they are properly handled, that
they live up to the trade name your
people have established, and the COM
mission men will try to do the rest.
1t is possible that we will send in men
who know how to pack and handle
in order that the new hands may be
shown the best manner of handling
perishable fruits.
Every commission house knows
the quality of the melons of this dis
strict. They can be commercially
grown and are of superior kind and
that is the reason we are on the job.
We are not looking for inferior stock
of any kind. 1t don't pay the pro-
ducer or the commission man"

When the Churchill County Cham
ber of Commerce was advised Sunday
that a bunch of Reno Chamber of
Commerce boosters would pay the
local chamber a visit Monday even
ing there was surprise and the object
was question. The supposition was
that 1t was to discuss the believed
attitude of Reno on the Lincoln
Highway and the future action OF
the Renoites on that very near the
heart subject to the Fallon people.
and 1t SO happened that the meeting
was held, the riverside people put
ting up decidedly entertaining ev-
ening and furnished lot of promises
at the confessional.
Something over a score of repre-
sentative men and women of Reno
arrived on the motor, which was held
until o'clock for their return, but
from 7 to 8 those who attended the
meeting witnessed the snappiest
short session on record with much
accomplished In the way of better
understanding.
Mayor Clark. also president of the
club, opened with a few remarks ex-
plating the meeting and immediate
ly introduced John Durham, who at
once recited the efforts of the Reno
people as a majority to tote fair with
Fallon. He stated in his five min
ute talk that the policy of the cham
ber members was to route people to
Fallon when possible; that the cham
ber had gone on record as protesting
with Utah in regard to her attitude
in the refusal to lend assistance In
the cut off leading to the Lincoln
Highway and that under the new
survey of the highway lie ding from
Loyelock to Reno, the road would be
brought in at HazeR instead of fur
ther north, practically brining both
the Victory and Lincoln highways to
the door of Fallon. He concluded in
assuring that he and the members of
the association at Reno were 100 per
cent Neyadans and were for the in
terests of Fallon as well as their own
home town.
Tony Peeetti, that wizard on the
aecordian, then gave the audience a
selection. which was appreciated. and
he was Immediately followed by viii
David, secretary of the Nevada High
way Association. Mr.. David explain
ed that he and the association were
playing no favorites. that people
would be routed where the best roads
were. and that whenever possible he
would send them to FaIlon and hoped
to be able to send in more each sea
son. The association is to move to
new quarters and will have on dis
play the best from each county, and
hoped that Fallon would contribute.
Brewster Adams, ID. D.. and a fay-
orite over the state, who. was accused
of the biased interview published in a
San Francisco paper, which was the
start of the whole show, told just
how 1t happened. A hurried street

porter who twisted the statement in
order to benefit for certain road leg

the Lincoln Highway instead of gen-

Reparation For Past Offenses

eralizing Mr.. Adams in his sincerity
of regret for the misquoting made
the people feel that he was entitled
to the clearing of the question and
was greeted with round of applause
when he finished by assuring the
Fallonites that any time, in any
cause, or for any subject, that they
could call on him. He will shortly
address the Parent Teachers of Fai-
Ion on a chosen subject.
Former Governor Boyle, as Just a
pencil-pusher for the Journal, gave
the people assurance that he and his
paper was with Fallon. He was sure
that Rev. Brewster Adams was Lot
entitled to any harsher treatment
than warm tar and selected feathers
but he hoped that the people would
give him another chance. Mr.. Boyle
in conclusion stated that to his OWL
knowledge the Reno chamber was
willing to listen to any good propos-
ition that could be put up and guar
anteed assistance and invited a try
out.
Mayor Clark was at his best. Cap
made no slips but took Reno at her
word and assured the members of the
sister city that Fallon was on her
trail, both for past wrongs and fu-
ture benefits. He candidly told them
that we were aggrieved over the ac-
tion on the Lincoln Highway matter
and welcomed the explanation of
past conduct and future good behay-
ior. He then assured them that in
the very near future Fallon would
present an interest in a canning fac
tory, and he believed that Reno
would before the year rolled past be
eating from our hand through a
can container, and the best in the
land.
L II. Kent, on whom Fallon always
banks for a shoulder punch, in a few
words assured the Reno people that
Fallon only asked fair treatment,
that he was a member of the Reno
chamber, and as such believed that
the riverside contingent meant bus
mess. He wanted them to stick with
their promises.
The Standard editor cloaed the ar
gument for Fallon with the assur-
ance that the people here realize that

never been known to miss a goal

FaiIon Man Meets
UntimeIy Death
Jarvis Read Falls From
Window In Reno

The death of Jarvis Read, one or
the popular young men of Fallon,
following an accident in Reno early
Thursday morning has been the
theme of conversation mingled with
the keenest regrets.
Mr. Read left Fallon Wednesday
afternoon with a party of friends to
attend a meeting of the order OF
Eagles. lie was in usual fine spirits
and with the others attended the lee
ture given by Colonel Herbert Choy-
inski at the Rialto theater.
After the meeting he with others
talked for some time in the lobby OF
the Golden Hotel; it being late when
he left for his room, but apparently
in his usual health.
The sound of something falling on
the roof next to a room occupied by
q Mr.. Hinckle reused him and he
opened his window to find the body
OF man unconscious. lie immed-
lately notified the proprietor of the
hotel and the injured man was taken
to a hospital The man that had fall
len from two stories above was Jarvis
Read lie lived for about two hours
after the accident. The coroner S
Jury rendered verdict of accidental
death caused by a fall from the hotel
window.
Just what happened will never be
known. Many surmise that he was
taken suddenly i'll and went to the
window for air and fell forward and
out. Others state that he has been
subject to somnambullsm, or sleep
walking and stepped out of the open
window to his death. He had been
troubled with shortness OF breath
and intended to see phyfician while
in Reno, in fact had made an ap-
pointment for the next day.
When word was sent to Fallon 1t
was hard to believe, az he had left
his wife In the best of spirits ard
was Joking with the party In the car
and also with those at the Gray Reid
store.
The body was brought to this city
Friday evening and was met by an
escort of the American Legion mem
bers.
Richard Jarvis Read was born In
Staten county, Missouri, June lS,
1891, and came to Paradise Valley,
Nevada with his parents when six
months of age, moving to Jordan
Valley, Oregon when IL years DID,
where he attended college, gradual

he served eigth months at Camp

way. In practically every project
certain products are a success and as
several years experiments have prov
en- their worth these will be the pro-
ducts centered upon.
In the Newlands project / have
advocated more dairy stock, with the
theme of better blood. The pure
bred brings in the largest check and
proportionately as the grade is lifted
from the scrub upward. There is a
good start here, aud the testing cam
paign that has been carried on the
past year has shown that in every in
stance where high grade dairy stock
is used that the cream check comes
up in proportion.
Poultry is a success In this sec
ton and there is every reason to be-
lieve that 1t will become one of the
leading products from the project.
Other sections that were represented
told of the success of this line of in
dustry and several of them are in the
business on large scale.
Taking everything into consider
alton, land. climate, prices of land
and costs came to the conclusion
that this project is in better condi-
tion and can offer better Inducements
than many of the others. Our butter
market is assured and there is no
fear of oyer-production, as should
such a condition arise there can be
eyaporatel milk, ch ese and other
products come from the dairy.
u am satisfied to get back to Fal-
lon, as the weather here is better
than in the east and there is really
more doing in the way of reaching
ahead than in many sections that /
visited, in fact Fallon and this pro-
ject to my thinking has a bright
future. 1t is not going to be made
in day but good progress is being
made with definite future along
lines that are beyond the expert
mental stage"

The coats were shipped and an
other came from the same source
which included other wearing ap-

siderable stock, which, all goes TO
