Total

The average for the twenty-year
period was 724.0 acre feet per year
but that was not the way the water
came down the Truckee river. For
the first eight years of that twenty
year period the average was $4,000
acre feet per year while for the next
twelye-year period the average was
$4,000 acre feet per year and for
the last six years of that twelve-year
period the average was further re
dueed 10 $4,000 acre feet per year
1t takes about 450,0 900 acre feet OF
water per year from the Truckee
river to irrigate the present acreage
including lands irrigated in the True
kee valley. the amount diverted al
the Derby dam into the Truekee canal
for irrigation, storage and power pur-
poses. and the amount needed below
the Derby dam for irrigation.
After allowing 100000 acre feet OF
water per year for uses already
named it leaves a total available for
storage during that twenty-year per
iod of 5,6S6.000 acre feet of water
and about seventy-five per cent of
that amount came down the river
during the first eight years of that
twenty-year period. In order to dis
tribute that stored water equally
over that twenty-year period it would
take reservoirs of two million acre
feet capacity to store up enough
tua dnr nd f,.,.s
safe the same number of acres dur
ing the dry period as would be irri-
gated during the wet period. Much
of this water would be lost by evap-
oration as some of it would have to
be held In reserve for ten years or
more
Not more than 10000 acre feet o.
this stored water would be available
for irrigation during each year of the
twenty-year period and allowing six
acre feet per acre for loss In trans
portation and irrigation ii would
only allow for the irrigation of 25.-
600 more acres than Is now being
irrigated.
It Is difficult to see where the
experts on water" are going to get
the water to irrigate the large tracts
OF land which they estimate can be
irrigated from the surplus waters of
! the Truckee river. Some of the water
engineers think it is not feasible to
store all the waters of the flood
years and il that is the case then
there would not bn wa for anough for
$4,000 additional acres which would
probably have to be scaled down to
10000 or $4,000. acres would cost

least s15,000.0O0 or $1,000 per acre
When we consider that the New

At that time the Lincoln Highway
association had substantial sum Of
money to be applied to this division,
but this has been withdra wn owing
TO non-application and it is more
than likely that no relief can be fig

it should be remembered that it was
money from this source that assisted
materially in the construction of the

Cream Experts
Expected Here
T. B. Cryder, to Finish
Survey In This
Locality

f. E. Cryder, the technical man Of
the Paramount Cream Company, is
expected here during the latter part
of the week when be will go over
the dairy situation and see what is
possible in the way of establishing a
cream canning plant here. or else
where in the state.
Following the arrival of Mr.. Volz
and Mr.. Risner, last week. they were
shown over the project by Mr. Cline
and others who are interested in
development of the dairy The two
were convinced that this was the
center of the dairy farming of Ne
vada, and 1t was shown that 1t was
the one place where dairy COWS have
continued to multiply under all con
ditions.
Seventy-five per cent of the farm
owners are engaged in dalrying eth
er on a large or small scale and with
the natural increase, figured at 80
per cent per year, the advantage was
readily taken up by the visitors.
They left assuring several in Fallon
that they would either return in per-
son or have their representative look
further into the merits of this city
as the center for manufacturing.
Mr. Cryder, the expert for the
company, It Is understood is to make
the final survey of the situation.
Should the company decide to come
to this city for its central plant 1t is
assured that they will meet the COOP
GRAFTON of the business men and the
farming interests.
No promises have been made and
the first visit was on the line of a
zuryey Both the visitors before
leaving stated openly that they were
surprised at the natural advantages
offered and more especially at the
large number of dairy COWS and the
future of this industry.
With the lifting of the embargo on
cream can shipments it Is certain to
follow that greater competition will
come from the coast houses that have
operated here. It will take something
such as a whole sweet cream plant to
win this trade from the ereameries

Churchill county will this winter
or early In the spring be called on to
provide its share toward completion
of highways across this county. The
state highway department has fir
ished surveys and estimates of the
two voids in the highway east OF this
city, which when completed will
make the connecting links and pro
vide an all-state highway across this
county both east and west.
The matter of taking up the con.
Meeting contract between Westgate
and Eastgate was given consideration
during the spring of this year and
the county authorities did not at the

probably the most difficult and ey-

Turkey Market
Rather Shakey
Efforts Made By Coast
Buyers To Shake
Down Prices

There is considerable speculation
In this section regarding the market
conditions on the coast for turkeys
for Thanksgiving week. Indications
at the forepart of the month pointed
to a good demand and better prices.
During the week prices have slump
ed, as it is claimed that turkeys from
there has been some birds imported
from Australia. This, it is claimed
Is more or less a market rouse to
beat down prices.
A considerable number of turkeys
have been shipped from this section
during the past ten days and while
prices ranged from Is to 81 u cents
the local commission men do not be-
lieye that this will be maintained.
Some fine birds are shown locally
that indicate that the quality Of tur-
keys leaving the project should top
the market.
Several Fallon people interested in
the turkey market are now on the
coast and will undoubtedly keep the
local commission men and others
shipping posted on the situation
Predict Heavy Shipments
Despite the shaky coast market T.
Is anticipated that heavy shipment
will leave here this week for coast
commission men. Birds of exception
al quality have been rounded out for
the Thanksgiving trade and one
house shipping early last week met a
loss owing to the declining market.
L. e. Cline, who has kept in touch
with the. market, believes that the
market will to some degree be sta
balized and that birds will not reach
the low notch of last season.
Some who expected to make heavy
inroads into their birds will trim
down on their exports following the
slack market conditions of the past
week.
Texas birds. II is reported, have
been forwarded to the coast points,
and while this has not been verified.
It has been used as a means to bring
down market prices. As the matter
now stands this section will send out
for coast trade the finest lot of tur-
keys that have left here in number
of seasons.

Ran ON CREAM CANS
LIFTED ON PROJECT

The quarantine against the ship
ment of cream cans from the several
creameries in California to this eoun-
ty, which was established early last
spring following the foot and mouth
discovery in coast sections, has been
lifted and several outfits from the
coast are now entering the market
for cream shipments.
Before the quarantine was estab-
lished eight different outfits were
bidding for share of the cream pro-
ducts of this project, which repre-
sents the largest dairy section In the
state. Since the embargo a number
of outside dairy herds have been
brought in and there has been the
regular percentage increase of milk
ing cows through the county.
II is safe to state that the same
active bidding for cream will be in
dulged In as before the closing of the
several outlets following the quar-.
antine.
Locally the home creamery has
been handling an increased amount
OF cream end the butter exports have
been correspondingly higher. At the
present time the local cl eamery Is
working to capacity and the same ex-
cellent quality butter is handled 10
cally as we'll as shipped to many
POINTS In the state. The bulk of the
manufactured product goes to Los
Angeles. where It, has been topping
the market for a number of seasons.
The lifting of the embargo will
mean a general increase OF express
age business. which before the quar-
antine was one of the big items in
the local express office.
