The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1924-12-31

1925, and there is every reason to
believe that 1t is in sight. Indica-
tions and statistics all point to as
good II not better prices this New
Year. Markets have been established
for practically all of the products OF
this project and the publicity that
has been given should have the ef-
fect OF opening up new channels of
trade.
The most important consideration
On the Newlands project is water
From indications there should b.
plenty of water for this coming sea
son. Snow survey and moisture con-
fonts so far are IN excess OF the av-
erage. is the statement at the Reno
office There is more snow at the
head of the Carson river at the pres
ent time than at any time last sea-
son, and Carson valley has received
more moisture than in several years,
which will assist in the spring run
off through the river to the dam.
Readings at the dam on Monday
show $4,000 feet of water stored.
FLOW from the Truckee has mater
tally increased with $50 feet at
Derby flowing into the canal and
$50 feet from the Carson Il was
anticipated that the flow from the
Carson would materially increase
with the warm weather this week.
The opinion at the reclamation office
is that the Lahontan dam will carry
sufficient water for all purposes on
the lands below the dam with what
snow and moisture is now in sight
Beet Sugar Factory
The recent proposal OF the North
western Sugar Refining Company TO
open the Fallon sugar factory is one
of the most important matters that
needs consideration by the people Of
this valley and surrounding section
The company comes in with a cold
blooded business proposition. If this
section will raise beets the factory
will open. otherwise it will be moved
where 1t will treat beets The oper-
ating company asks for 1000 acres
of beets, not all from this valley, but
from sections of western Nevada
This is a half million dollar proposi
tion put up to the Nevada people
and 1t should be considered as one
Of the greatest opportunities offered
this or any section of the state. It Is
better than a gold mine, as it does
not operate until dug out, but goes
on indefinitely and each year dis
tributing money to the entire com.
monwealth.
The news of the proposed opening
of the factory has gone abroad, as
two different parties are here today
from the beet section OF Colorado
looking for ground to lease for this
culture, and If they can find land and
terms others will follow. Both men
know the game with several years Of
experience. and what brought them
is beets and nothing else.
Cattle Feeding
The establishing of cattle feeding
corrals and racks in this valley to-
gether with the knowledge that there
is feed here, should this year bring
in. a return. The prestage that this
valley has established on this score
can be expected to continue. 1t is
one of the best signs for the year
1926.
The results of feeding in this val
ley have been entirely satisfactory
and the return from this means of
nishing ready money is an appreci-
ated fact among the hay growers
who have been worried over eondi-
tions
Will Try Melons
Despite the low markets of the
past summer many acres will be
given over to melon culture this sea-
son. There is a movement ON to
formulate better plans in marketing.
as it has been shown that markets
aside from those east of the Missis-
sippi offer a chance for the outlet
from this valley. The commission
men gave the valley a survey during
the month and the disposition was
to venture into the game again this
season. The fact that the Fallon
melon has gained a national reputa-
tion will be to the advantage of the
growers. While it is considered
among the hazards in culture yet one
successful season retrieves all of
former losses. 1t is a certainty that
this season will see the Fallon melon
grown in commercial quantity no
matter who handles the crop.
The Mining Outlook
The mining outlook for Churchill
county stands In a better light today
than in many years. Mining will not
be confined to any one quarter 70,
the year but will be distributed gen
orally as several of the camps prom
Use TO be on the bullion producing
list
Undoubtedly Chalk Mountain de-
velopment will be among the lead
ing districts of the west end of the
state and may surpass come of the
more famous sections.
