PLAN TELEPHONE LINE
State Line to Eagle River
Service Expected to be
Launched by Spring.

If enough stock can be subscrib-
! ed there is no doubt of telephone
system being built from State
Line down through Conover to
Eagle River where it will connect
with the Eagle River Telephone
Company's lines. If this does hap
pen, there will be opened large
territory which at the present
time is isolated from the outside.
Business men and residents of
the town and village of State
Line are seeking subscriptions to
float stock company for this
service. Of the $4,000 expected to
carry this line through about a
fifth has already been subscribed
with only few individuals hav-
ing been solicited Each share is
valued at $500 and several have
gone over that amount.
Of benefit alike to business men,
resort men, summer home people
and residents, there is no reason
why this proposition should fail in
the building. With a good system
inaugurated, State Line and Con-
over people will have an outlet
that will be of inestimable value,
and the service will go to a goodly
number of patrons. The matter
is now in the hands of State Line
men and within the week a can
vass will be made in order to float
the proposition of a telephone line
between the north and south ends
of the county.
Another telephone system under
way is that from Arbor Vitae or
Woodruff to Big ST. German Lake
country. Not many miles of line
will be necessary to connect, and
from what can be- learned from
St. German men the line will be
of surety go through. The line
will take in that portion of Big
St. German contingent to Wood
ruff and Arbor Vitae. 1t might
be extended so that it will give
service to Sayner and Eagle River,
the latter connection being made
with the Eagle River line at Little
ST. German lake.

this valley has been the cooperation
For several years Mr.. Cline has in
sisted that the only method of elm
mating the dead-heads in the herds
has been through tests, which has re-
suited in disposing of cows that were
mere boarders. The following fig.
ures submitted by Mr. Cline shows
the extensiveness of the testing and
the profitable standing of the herds
that are furnishing cream to the
plants;
"A summary of the March herd
testing report shows that $50 COWS

duced an average of 73S pounds OF

BOYS WEEK
To Be Observed In Fallon

Thousands of cities throughout
America and other countries will cell
ebrate a Boys Week. from April
29th to May 9th. The idea is simply
to focus attention of the nations on
the boy as its chief asset. THE idea
really took hold of the country back
in 1920, says a bulletin issued by
tn headquarters of the movement,
in New York City, where $4,000 boys
marched down the worlds greatest
boulevard, Fifth Avenue" Twenty
seven other nations of the world, in
five continents, are to celebrate
Boys Week" this year. New York
City expects to put on a parade of
100000 boys with rs bands and 200
floats. President Harding is giving
the movement hearty Endorsement

facts that stare us in the face in con
nection with the boy problem.
The program for the week includes
special days ON which emphasis will
be placed on some sort of activity
that particularly interests the boys.
All boys are asked TO go to church
on Sunday, April 29th. Monday will

TAKE PRELIMINARY STEPS
IN LAND ADJUSTMENT

j. f. Richardson, project manager
and Senator True Neneill spent a
portion of the week at the site of the
Spanish Springs reservoir, The trip
was made to the ground to arrange
if possible the price of lands that
will have to be condemned as they
viii become inundated with the
building OF the reservoir.
The farms that are In the path of
the reservoir will have TO be settled
for before any active building is or
dered. In most Instances it was
found that adjustments can be made
on equitable terms, and while there
will be a few hard problems to ad-
5ust ii Is the belief that all will be
cleared up within a short time.
With this work out of the way
the clearing for actual construction
can take place. The two expect to
return to Reno this coming week
when several of the contracts will be
closed and others taken up for Ntion.

sources helped fasten the name on

way one wants to put it, that the

Local Creamery Indicates
Enlarged Dairy Returns
Cream Checks are Growing Every
Month. Room for Many Cows

The statement that Churchill coun.
ty is to become the dairy county OF
Nevada and that it will attract its
new population on this score, is be.
ing confirmed by the money returns
that are apparent. Following the
war time prices when much of the
dairy was disposed of owing to in
flated hay prices, the return to nor
NAL or past that point has been grad
ual.
l.. b. Cline, project agriculturist,
who has been insistant that the re-
eoyery of conditions lay in the adop-
tion of the dairy, is having the salts
faction of seeing this work as a real
ity.
At the Mutual creamery plant
which during the past year has been
worked up to the best plant in the
state, there is a gradual but steady
increase of cream, with a consequent
heavier shipment OF butter to Los
Angeles, as all the product from this
creamery goes to the southern Cal
ifornia city, and many times the
amount could find a ready market
In order to bring the Fallon product
to its highest standard the creamery
has recently installed a new Pasteur-
izing and cooling plant; which is now
part of the modern equipment. This
creamery during the month of March
shipped to Los Angeles 4S,637 lbs
of butter. Cream shipments to other
points averaged around 2,700 lbs
day. while the April shipments in
both butter and cream show higher
average for the month of April

Mutual Creamery dispersed $1S,029

matter was placed in the hands of
the following committee: Prof. j. J..
Beatty, Pro@R. A. Jones, Mrs. Kath-

service to be held at Epworth gymna-
sium on Sunday evening at eight
o'clock.
Mrs. w. II. Williams will be the
presiding officer. The program for
the evening is not in complete form
at this time, but the following num-

During the fore part of the month
the !. II. Kent Company offered a
$3.50 cash prize TO anyone who
would coin or suggest a name for the
alfalfa meal that is ground at their
plant at the same time a like offer
or reward was made for a name TO
apply to the fertilizer that is pro-
dueed at the grinding plant.
That the advertising brought out
a lot of ideas and trade names was
certified to when over 200 sugges-
tions came in on the coupons at
taced to the ad. 1t took a lot of
time and careful consideration in de-
termining the selection from the
many suggestions, as so many had
merit that 1t was close consideration.
After going through the entire list
IL was decided TO award the money
prizes to II. Carpenter of Fallon and
TO Yea Beighle. In both cases the
name "NEWLANDS" was the sugges-
tion for both products. The fact that

Since the decision in the rail mer-
ger issue and the contentious of the
Southern Pacific sustained, many
improvements have been mapped out.
Among the first is the bettering of
the road bed between Fallon and Ha-
zen and material is being brought
in for that purpose.
The Western NevadR Miner some
time ago published the report that
there was a plan on foot by the
Southern Pacific to broad guage the
old c. & c. II. II. into Owens Valley;
the heavy grades to be trimmed down
and the road rebuilt on modern
methods.
There is undoubtedly some truth
in this report, as 1t is undstood that
the Southern Pacific contemplates
this as one of the big features in Sc
curing additional outlet for its road
into Southern California.
The broad-gauging of the old C.
& c. over the White Mountains into
Inyo county would mean much to
this section. AS it is at the present
time the transfer charge from broad
guage to narrow gauge cars at Nina
makes a prohibitive rate for the ship
ment of produce from this section or
any of the avenues of produce over
the road, as another transfer is oc-
casioned at the end of the small road.
With a broad guage road from
Hazen to Los Angeles It would mean
the transportation of the products
of this valley direct into Los Angeles.
Cattle and hay that now goes via
Sacramento. and then down the coast
line, would make a shorter and less
expensive trip to the south land. 1t
would open up the market through

benefits that will arise from this con

For a number OF years the S. p.
people have had the White Noun
tain route in mind and took over
the Carson q Colorado road Tor this
purpose. The tremendous growth
OF Los Angeles, San Diego and other
southern California cities, has
brought about a necessity for better
transportation and another outlet
for the products OF the southern sec
ton. Several men close up to the
rail heads have given olt the opinion
that this new outlet viii become Il

company is as keen TO take up new
business and increase old as is u
private concern.
One of the former merchants of
Fallon. who has had this in mind
for a number Of years, stated that the
reconstruction OF this road would
do more to populate Lahontan valley

and at the chamber of commerce that
a considerable tonnage of hay is cut
each season that must find a foreign
or shipping market, as neither the
cattle nor other stock is locally in use
to consume this oyerburden. Church
i'll county is as deeply interested in
the proposed modification of the
quarantine as any county in the state.
MODIFIEs QUARANTINE
Following the meeting held in
Lovelock last week the question of
an immediate modification of the
quarantine was taken up with Gov
ernor Serugham. In this connection
the Reno Gazette of the 23rd instant,
states:,
At the request of the Nevada Farm
bureaus, Gov. Serugham agreed to
modify the alfalfa quarantine to the
ext mt that growers in the infected
districts of Nevada may ship their
hay to points outside the state from
which no objection is made to the
receipt of such shipments. The mod
ifieation was made in order to permit
growers in the Loyeloek valley to
ship hay to Kansas City, st. Louis
and other Missouri and Mississippi
points where it will be fed in the
stock yards.
= The modification of the quarantine
proclamation which was made effec-
tive about year ago, will result in
the immediate marketing of about
5000 tons of surplus hay now on
hand in the Lovelock valley, and also
permit other Nevada districts, which
may later be brought under quaran-
tine, to seek Eastern markets.
The quarantine is being modified
with the full knowledge of the offi-
cials of Missouri who have offered
no objection to similar steps being
taken by the states of Utah and Col
/ orado, where there are large districts
with weeyil infection. Kansas City
is now taking large shipments from
infected districts in both states.
Good Profit Awaits Them
According to Nevada farm bureau
officials Kansas City is now paying
$3.50 to $31 for choice dairy hay,
and s22.50 to $26.50 for No hay
The freight rate from Lovelock to
Kansas City is $11.40 per ton, leav-
ing a margin of $14 for Lovelock
growers.
Tho hux at IAralaalr
become a matter of grave concern to
that valley, which is the largest pro-
dueer of alfalfa and the largest feed
ing point in Nevada. Until arrange
ments were made to dispose of the
surplus in Missouri it was feared that
the 1928 crops would come on and
add to the large surplus already
existing.
TIL farm bureau officers estimate
that the Loyelock growers already
have lost $150,000 by the quaran-
tine, but that this situation will now
be changed since an outlet for the
surplus has been provided.
Agricultnrists at Carson
The conference held at Carson City
which resulted in the modification OF
the quarantine was brought about
by w. A, Hardy, president of the
Nevada Farm Bureau, c. G. Swingle
president of the Churchill county
farm bureau, and A. j. Reed, district
agricultural agent for Pershing and
Churchill counties.

PUREBRED BULL IS FAVORED
Farmers and Dairymen Cannot Afford
to Continue Use Of Scrub or
Grade Animals.

Farmers and dairymen cannot con
tinue to use scrub or grade bulls, says
A. g. Baer, professor Of Dairy Hus-
bandry at the A. and M. college.
Profitable dairying depends on, (D
good breeding; (2) wedding out poor
cows; (3) good feeding.
A purebred bull will improve all
dairy herds which are not now headed
by q purebred male, Mr.. Baer says,
Farmers or daifymen can very often
club together and buy bull which
costs more than an ordinary purebred
male. Whenever possible, herd bull
should be from a tested dam with a
good record.

DAIRY
HINTS
DELICATE TASTE OF BUTTER
Good FIavors Find Their Way Into
Product in Same Way az Those
Objectionable.

Good flavors find their way into
milk and butter in somewhat the same
way as do undesirable tlavors.
dairy1nan whose farm-made butter Is
In high demand because Of its excep-
tional flavor, holds that prompt cool
ing Of the milk, clean water for his
cows, and sweet feeds, are the fac
tors chiefly responsible. If milk needs
to be pasteurzed in order to overcome
a disagreeable flavor, or If cream has
to be neutralized before 1t Is placed
in the churn, the resulting product will
be lacking in that delicate taste which
is characteristic of the best quality of
butter Furthermore, 1t will soon grow
strong once it is removed from stor-
age. Every dairyman knows that
strong feed will result in undesirable
flavors, both in milk and butter. The
rapidity with which stable odors are
taken up by milk also is understood.
The fact that the prompt removal OF
animal heat from freshly drawn milk
affects its flavor is less fully appre-
ciated. Yet the proper cooling of milk
is one of the details OF dairy prac-
tice which Is easy Of accomplishment
on most dairy farms. bit of
thoughtfulness at this point will work
wonders in dairy products.
