Drainage Funds
Receive Approval
Nevad Representative
Making Effort For
Appropriations

During the past week efforts havl
been made by the Nevada representa-
tives in Washington toward estab-
fishing funds for finishing the drain
age on the Newlands project
A Washington dispatch states that
Senator Key Pittman had taken the
matter up and had received assur-
ance that the bill would be held
pending the advise of the fact find
ing commission, which is expected to
report shortly.
The following telegram from
Washington indicates that there Is
a chance for additional appropria-
tion:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The ad-
ditional sum of s245, 900 to be ex-
pended for the further drainage of
lands has been added to the federal
appropriation for the Newlands pro-
ject by the senate committee upon
appropriations, following a hearing
held at the request of Senator Oddie.
This restores the original sum of
100000 allotted to the project in
the executive budget.
Secretary Works Statement
The original recommendation pro-
vided s245,000 for the purchase of
right af ways for the Spanish Springs
canal and reservoir but upon the
recommendation of Commissioners
Davis and Cannon this was eliminat-
ed. The committee expressed its will
ingness to restore the sum of money
involved but directed that IL should
be expended for drainage of the lands
already included within the project.
While before the senate committee
Secretary Work stated that he could
not recommend any appropriation for
the construction of the Spanish
Springs unit, or any addition to any
old project until he received the re-
port of the fact finding commission
which is making a complete investi-
cation of the reclamation service and
its projects. This report is expected
by the end of this month.
Conferences Being Held
Yesterday afternoon a conference
was held between Senator Oddie and
DR. Elwood Mead of the fact finding
commission, which will be followed
by another conference between Sena-
tor Oddie, DR.. Mead and True Ven
will of Fallon, upon the arrival of the
latter at Washington.
Senator Oddie stated today that he
was confident the fact finding COM
mission was we'll informed regarding
the Newlands project and that the
prospects for construction of the
Spanish Springs unit were favorable.

Newlands Project Cows Make Records

hay, while cows in the last group re-
turned $37 in dairy products for a
ton of hay. If 1t is worth while to
make two blades of grass grow where
one grew before, what about making
one ton of hay as valuable as two
through better cows? A dairyman's
hay crop is just as profitable as his
cows make 1t.
The Newlands, project herd test
ing association is operated for the
benefit of local dairymen and has
for its sole purpose the increasing of
the average dairy production OF
Newlands project herds. Good cows
pay the highest price for alfalfa hay
and insure profitable and perma-
nent industry. Application for mem
bership can be made to E. Pauludan,
in charge of testing.

By L. e. CLINE

Dairymen on the Newlands pro-
ject have maintained a COW testing
association on an extensive scale for
more than year. The first twelve
months records have been complet-
ed, and the members of the associa-
tion have detailed account of each
of their cows on test.
A familiar expression in older ex-
perienced dairy communities is "test
and not guess" 1t should be a source
of satisfaction to any one interested
in our local industry to know that
total of ninety-one progressive dairy
farmers joined the test and not
guess group during the year 1923.
During the past year a total of 1905
dairy cows were entered in the New
lands project herd testing association
for butter fat production test. Dur
Ing this time SO herds with 702 COWS
completed twelve months test. A
number of the herds entered did not
complete twelve months test and
many other herds entering the asso-
citation during the year are in the
process of completing their years
records. The Newlands project herd
testing association is perpetual as
sociation. Herds can be entered at
any time.

dairy herds on test for twelve
