The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-10-31
Dairy Returns
Net Big Figures
Growth of Industry Is
Outstanding Feature
of Project

There has been considerable specu-
lation as to the value of the dairy
products within this valley, or that
which is produced and shipped from
| Fallon each month.
For some time the butter fit from
this section has been sought by
creamery people as eight concerns
for butter making and each of them
states that many times the amount
is desired. l.. r. Cline and others
interested In dairy husbandry have
been doing some figures on tho avail
able amounts of butter fat and cream
together with the biproducts that
accompany dairying. These results
are most flattering, and 1t is the pre-
diction that within thirty-six months
the Lahontan valley will be classed
as among the foremost in dairy pro
ductions in the west The natural in
crease in milk stock, the importa-
tions and the movement of dairy men
toward the section indicates a most
flattering future
Brings In Money
From records at the Mutual
Creamery and others shipping it Is
learned that a total of 7S,500 pounds
of butterfat is shipped and consumed
at home. This item alone brings in
over s1,400 per day. The home con-
sumption of milk and cream and that
fed to calves is estimated $4,000
pounds per month, bringing a total
of 106,500 pounds OF butterfat that
is produced from known sources.
One hundred six thousand five hun
dred pounds of butterfat at the pre-
vailing price of 55 cents per pound
results in a valuation of s55, ,370 per
month.
Mr.. Cline placed the feeding valus
of 2,662.500 pounds of skinned
milk, resulting from separation, at
80 cents per hundred pounds, at ST.
9S7, making a total of -...63,357 for
the month.
Full Values On the Farm
In speaking of values of the whole
milk and skinned products that are
used on the farm Mr.. Cline is more
than satisfied with results. The feed
ing value to calves is not questioned.
as shipments TO the slaughtering es-
adjustments have proven this point.
Poultry of every nature demands the
use of milk, which is freely fed on all
of the farms. The pigs that have been
marketed from the project in car
loads the past few seasons are mainly
the result of milk feeding. There Is
one loss however, which he with 9TH
ers deplore. and that is the butter
milk, which should receive more at
tention as a food value and can be
had for very nominal figure at the
creamery. Much that is wasted ifi
this product should be used in feed.
ing pigs and poultry on the farms
The tendency of the project is
toward dairying and from the results
of the past year, wherein the product
has nearly doubled, it is figured that
irrespective of any other line of farm
industry that the dairy will lead in
all valuations.
Higher Grades Coming On
The introduction of purebred bulls
and cows has resulted in bringing
out some excellent tests that have
been held the past year. The testing
association, which is to continue
through this year. will have avail
able a number of the best grada
young heifers. In many instances
these grade cows have been improved
by the breeding up of from two "a
three generations, as Holstein, Jer.
sey, Geurnsey and other high grade
bulls have been freely used over tn,
project.
