High Priced Hay and Poor Cows
Make A Bad Combination
Ncwlands Projct Herd Testing Association
Brings Out Facts That Show Value of
Feeding and Eliminations

tent testing is necessary In order that
the real merits of individual COWS
may be determined. One test or an
occasional test Is next to worthless,
because of the variation from time to
time in the per cent of butter fat in
any one cows milk and the quantity
of milk produced. AT the very low
cost of Is cents per month per COW
the testing association is detecting
The inferior cows and helping the
dairyman to get the most out of his
.eed, labor and investment
Project Cows Show Good
Returns In May
A summary of the results of herd
testing work for May shows that 767
soN s representing SO herds produced
IN average of 792 pounds of milk
containing 29.7 pounds of butter fat
per COW. This is a very creditabla
showing, when it is taken into con-
sideration that good number of
these cows are far advanced In lacta
ton and large per cent are first
calf heifers. 1t is interesting to note
that 140 cows OF the association pro-
duced forty or more pounds Of fat
during the month. Sixty of this num-
Der produced over fifty pounds Of
butter fat during the month of May
What did these cows return for the
lay consumed Is the all important
question. AT an average current
price for butter fat of 81 cents and
allowing 25 cents per 100 pounds of
skim milk, the average gross return
per COW In the asso citation for May
was $12.sS. II we charge these cows
With their own weight in hay each
month and make an allowance for
alfalfa hay consumed by dry cows of
the herd, which should add an addi-
tional 16 per cent, it will be found
that the average returns for cows in
the testing association in May for
each ton of hay consumed were 495
pounds of butter fat and 1870 pounds
of skim milk. These at the current
prices mentioned above would yield
an average of $21.4S for each ton of
hay consumed by the herds in the
testing association for the month OF
May. These figures do not take into
consideration the fertilizer left on
the farm. the young stock, which is
the pride of every progressive dairy
man, nor the satisfaction of having a
dependable market year after year
for the products of the farm.

TO FINISH WORK
ON EAST HIGHWAY

II is the intention of the highway
department to see that work on the
asphaltic highway east of this city is
finished early this summer. is the
word that is received from Carson.
II Is understood that tests of the
highway do not conform with the
specifications as the contents are not
up 10 federal standard in some re-
spects. 1t Is probable that some three
miles of the road will be worked
over. more material added and re-
rolled. which should make one OF the
best sections in the state.
The highway has not been accept
ed by the state or the federal de.
nartment. and it is understood that
the state is to carry on some of the
work In order that the road may be
completed. Material for finishing Is
to be shipped in within the next few
weeks.

Commencement EsprriHrH

Monday night at the Churchill
county high school forty-one gradu
sting students received their diplo-
mas, the largest class graduating
rom any county with the exception
# Washoe. which has more than
thrible the population This class Is
the largest in the history of this
sounty which reflects the greatest
'redit on the faculty, and also brings
}ut the perfection of the school sys
EN- In this county.
The high school auditorium was
rowded to its capacity. there being
standing room only. The stage anc
hall were decorated in class colors,
crimson and white, with flowers In
profusion everywhere, making one OF
the NEST attractive settings that has
been seen in the fine auditorium.
Parents and friends congregated
to pay their appreciation to the eff
forts of the young people who enter
into the channels of life and the pro-
gram prepared by the graduates and
the faculty was impressive and made
to fit this occasion.
The commencement address By
Rev, Edward Tanner Brown of Reno
was listened to by the large audience
and his touching of the subjects of
the future of the class brought to
mind the future that is before this
Young generation that sets out on
life's walk.
Mrs. Tedford In presenting the
diplomas made a few remarks that
fitted the occasion. while the orches-
ira helped round out a most com
plete program.
The basketball girls and football
boys were presented with certificates
entitling them to sweaters and block
F's as soon as they arrive. The five
basketball boys were presented with
small gold basketball watch fobs by
Edgar Maupin in behalf of the citi-
zens of Fallon.
Miss Betty Shaw, winner of the
defamation contest, was presented
with a certificate emitting her to a
sweater and block f as were the win
ners of short story contests and
members of the debating team.
Charles Way was presented with
the Legion $50 scholarship which is
presented every year to the boy with
the best record in school work and
athletic endeavor.
1t is hardly likely that another
class as large will graduate this com.
in year but the EXAMPLE set by the
class of "a has already set up q
brilliant record to be sought for. The
people who witnessed the exercise;
and who have watched the past
years work in all grades agree thai
this county has the best organized
educational force in the state. Prof
essor McCracken and his able stat
have been receiving congratulationl
from everyone interested in the bis
subject of education.

REPUBLICANS FIGURING
ON THE POSTMASTER

Since last fall when Jim Johnson
received the recommendation of the
Republican county central committee
for postmaster of this city 1t has
been supposed that he would knock
over the plum. Then something
slipped and word comes from Sena-
tor Oddie that the civil service com
mission has eliminated Johnson and
leaves Charley Way, Larry Crehore
and Joe Morris in the field. This
resulted in another scramble for the
place. Morris accepts a position in
Lovelock and withdraws from the
race, leaving Way and Crehore In
the field.
1t was believed that the junior
senator, who has the naming of the
choice, would act before the close of
the late session of congress and send
in one of the names for confirma-
tion, but the senator, who has pro-
clivity of side-stepping, failed to get
his mind fixed on the selection and
again he passes the buck to the local
Republicans. In other words, he is
asking his constituents in this city
and county to make the selection.
This has set the friends of Way
and crehore rustling for support and
it is likely that the new county CEN
trail committee will be asked to en-
dorse one or the other of the candi-
dates. which leaves the unpleasant
duty of turning down fellow Re-
publican in the hands of the com
mitteemen insteed of the senator.

July 4th and 5th
To Be Celebrated
Funds Provided; Pro-
gram Being Shaped
For Biggest Event

The decision to hold a two day
celebration In Fallon, July 4th and
5th, means that this city IL to put on
the biggest show so far attempted
and an invitation is extended to the
surrounding sections, as none others
have signified intention of holding a
celebration.
The question of finances was early
settled as between the merchants
and others interested in doing IL
proper a sum sufficient has been as
sured for the two days of events.
The two days will include base
BAH, athletic contests, auto races,
street amusements, games for the
kiddies, rodeo contests, shows and
dances. In fact, the committee in
charge has formulated a program Of
events that will keep the home folks
busy, together with the people who
come for the occasion.
The success of last year prompted
another day of events, as many de-
clare that they did not get enough.
BY making two-days celebration Il
is anticipated that the scattering OF
events can be so arranged that there
will be no duh moments, and that Is
what makes a real celebration.
Edgar Maupin was named chair
man at the first meeting with Bryan
Laveaga as secretary. They in turn
have named committees who will
have to get into harness and make il
a success, as there is plenty of ma
terial to work with, and new ideas
will be used to add attractiveness to
the program. A complete program
viii be worked out in the next week
and will be extensively advertised
The program SO far arranged in
cludes the following:
Friday morning-Children' races
and athletic contests; 500 prizes
offered; c. NJ. Way and j. w. Tyr
rell committee.
Friday at 1:15 p. m.-Automobile
races between Fallon and Hazen for
cars qualifying at so miles an hour :;
$500 prizes; l.. q. Taylor, Bob Doug
lass and Edgar Maupin, committee
Friday, 3 to 5 p. m.--Two game
series of baseball; Harry Yetter and
C. NJ. Way, committee.
Friday evening-Thirty rounds OF
boxing contests; Carl Dodge, Edgar
Maupin, Bryan Laveaga, committee
Friday evening-Dance at pavilion
under auspices of Legion Auxiliary.
On Saturday morning the main at
traction will be a rodeo show at the
fair ground. This promises to BE-
good. Nick Jesch. Tom Kendrick and
Bill Fisk are committeeman.
Saturday afternoon it is probable
that a second baseball game will be
arranged, and other attractions are
being planned. In the evening a
dance will be given by the Indepen
dence Day committee.

By l.. e. CLINE

All indications point to a good
)riee for our surplus alfalfa hay this
ear. Although we may be in some
uspense about the possibilities of
hipping hay TO outside markets, we
re assured a good demand from out
iide stockmen who are looking this
lay for their winters supply of feed.
Will. our dairy herds be able to
ompete with the outside market?
his will be a very common question
uring the coming winter and any
iairyman who has not been breed
ng up and culling his herd in prep
ration for Just such a time as this.
hould work fast during the coming
ummer along these lines. Fortunate
y for dairying on the Newlands prof.
act, a very large majority of the
airy herds are in good shape to
make returns for alfalfa hay that
sill far exceed any outside market.
project dairymen have availed them
selves of the opportunity to test out
he merit of the individual COWS of
their herds, and have at the same
time been using the very best of sires
50 that the low producers have been
eliminated and a good number of
promising young females are taking
heir places.
Poor Cows Absorb Profits of
Good Cows
One poor COW can easily absorb
he profits produced by a good COW
and leave nothing for the feed, labor
md investment on both of them. By
this line of reasoning, one might
easily say that If half of a herd of
cows were good and the other half
poor, then the dairyman might have
TO work for nothing and board him
self. Ii is not hard to figure out how
one herd of ten good COWS would be
twice as profitable as another herd
Of fifteen cows In which five of them
were Improbable producers. Larger
herds do not insure more profit un-
less the individuals are ell good. In
aividual merits of dairy cows are
aseertained by persistent herd test
ing.
1t is the purpose of the Newlands
Project Herd Testing Association to
help local dairymen to detect un-
profitable COWS, so that they will not
be left as parasites on the profitable
returns from his good cows Persis-

INCOME TAX STATEMENT

There appears to be a misunder-
standing as to the amount of income
tax imposed upon corporations by
the revenue act of 1924. Your at
tention is directed to the fact that
under the provisions of section 230
of the act the income tax on corpora
tlons is 12A per cent, which is the
same rate of tax applicable for the
taxable year 1928. Corporations.
therefore. are not permitted to take
as credit any reduction in tax for
the payment due June Is, or any
subsequent installment date. The
credit of 20 per cent is limited TO
individuals, and fiduciaries who are
required to file returns on forms
1040 or 1040-A.
