Cream Plant
Under Survey
Company Agent Takes
Up Plans with the
FaIlon People

Following the first visit of Messrs.
Risner and Volz, representing the
Paramount Cream Company, Mr.. Ris-
nerz returned to this city Monday
evening and is busy going over the
situation following his recent survey.
A number of the prominent bust
ness men are meeting with him in
an endeavor to get all the conditions
centralized and be able to handle the
proposition of a cannery in this city
should all of the conditions appear
as they now look to this community
Mr.. Risner stated during the day
that nothing definite had as yet been
settled but he was convinced that
this was the central dairy point in
the state and by far the largest pro
dueer of cream. This item of itself
gives this section the lead in the bid
for location.
The fact that this is practically a
whole. sweet cream plant is by far
the greatest advantage in such a line
The ordinary condensery takes the
whole milk. leaving little or none
for farm use, and this point has been
against such a canning plant coming
to this valley during the time of dairy
development.
Under the process Of the Para
mount people fresh, sweet cream is
handled and while they will take
Whole milk and see to Its utilization,
yet ii Is whole, sweet cream that the
process calls for. All Ct the condi
tions as they exist on the project and
the feeder lines to this valley will be
taken before the board of directors
and upon such facts as are gathered
in the general survey the decision is
to be made
The return of Mr. Ricner shows
the interest that has been taken in
the proposition. He has been assured
that If the company delivers the
goods such as represented that there
will be no question as to quantity of
cream delivered. The dairy interests
are looking for a better market as
any other business and it has been
shown that there Is every reason ia
believe that a better price can be
secured for fresh cream than sour
such as is being bid for by the cream.
cries.
At the present time several Cali
fornia agents are here looking over
the field for orders to their places oi
business. The removal of the en-
barge on cream cans from several
districts on the coast has brought ouf
the usual number of outside cream
cry plants looking for the supply in
this valley. which is acknowledged
the largest in the state.
The results of Mr. Risner's visit
will be laid before his company and
it is expected that some decision will
be rendered within a few weeks at
the latest

Water Storage
AT The Dam
Truckee, Carson Con
tribute: Decision
Is Waited

The question of storage of water
at Lahontan dam is uppermost in the
minds of the farmers and others in
terested in next seasons irrigation
season. While the Truckee canal is
not carrying all the water that it
could. owing to the shut down of the
pumps at Lake Tahoe, yet there is an
appreciable amount of water reach
ing the reservoir through the True
kee river. Measurements Monday
show that a little better than 200
feet is being delivered through the
canal and that the power plant Is
using so feet, leaving the balance
for storage.
Measurements at the Carson late
last week show 100 feet of water
reaching the reservoir from this
source and this is being stored The
reservoir on Monday had ID, 500 feet
Of water behind the dam and 1t IS
anticipated that an increased flow
should be coming from the Carson.
as wetting of ground below Dayton
is about through for the season.
All of the water now being de-
livered TO the dam is river water
none coming from Lake Tahoe. This
is the first season In a number of
years that some water has not been
available from Tahoe The reclama-
tion office is satisfied that there will
be steady storage during the win
ter months and the moisture records
In the Sierras are far above the sea
sonal records for the time of year
Waiting Decision
The water users association and
the water board, following the hear
ing before the referee, are awaiting
decision from Secretary Work. The
transcript OF evidence went forward
Immediately following the hearing
and an early decision was promised
through the bureau.
II is anticipated that should the
decision be against the power people
that the matter will be taken To the
courts and thus given an iron clad
ruling on the use of water for power
and irrigation and which is para
mount on the project
Some water is being used for win
ter wheat irrigation and the flow
that follows the power use is being
directed to farms that are feeding
cattle. The use of this water has
been a benefit 10 those who have
feeding contracts over the valley as
in many instances IL would have nee
essitated the digging of wells and
installation of pumping plants.

Taken year In and year out poultry
has paid on the Newlands project
and 1t has gone hand in hand with
da,rying. The industry Is in its In
fancy and this has been proven the
ideal spot of the state for both poul-
try and dairying. Both have steadily
advanced until today the Lahontan
valley heads the list In the two In
dustries of Nevada.
Climatic conditions have in large
measure been the means of success,
as the west end of the state and the
east, owing to the lower temperature,
later springs and cold, have not made
II possible to set up the establish
ments that are now working in a
small way in this large valley.
Both the farm bureau and the fed
eral agriculturist have urged more
poultry in connection with dairying.
The result Is that turkeys are export
ed by the carload and the local COM
mission houses are handling tons y
chickens and carlots of eggs during
the year. 1t is stated by those who

Poultry Results Astonishing
From California Section
What Has Been Done At Petauma. This Valley
Offers Better inducements For
Duplication

turned This cultivation OF corn fol
lowed 2. number of years of expert

known to withstand the early frost

practically dozen varieties of corn
all matured and some data that is of
general value can be had from this
source
1t is realized that there will be no
further export of alfalfa hay from
this valley and many farmers are in
small way adding to their poultry
enclosures and houses. The Petaluma
people are generally confined to five
acre lots while the Newlands project
lands can be secured in forty-aern
plots for less money than the small
tract IN the California town bringg
Cneap Lands
The Newlands project offers poul
try farms To those who are looking
for such investment. Lands that in
any other district with guaranteed
water would bring fancy prices can
be had here for less money than pio-
neering calls for In most sections Of
the west The same quality land IN
any OF the poultry sections of Cali
fornia would call for an investment
far beyond the average poultry pros
pect.
The advantage OF grain crops sut-
ficient for all poultry needs on the
farm are recognized by the farm
bureau and others who have advo-
Gated this industry.
One dairvman, who up TO last year
milked a large string cf cows, re-
duced his herd and devoted the diff.
ference in time to poultry. He states
that the profits from poultry have
been more in proportion to time and
money invested than In the large
dairy herd.

It is not unusual to see carloads
of chicken forwarded to California
from the middle west sections of the
states The people of Nevada have
witnessed this shspmeRt going west
ward for years and no real effort
has ever been made in Nevada to
help supply this coast and west
trade.
Commercial poultry outside of tur-
keys has rot been considered ser
iously by the local people, and fig
ures have often been quoted by the
farm bureau on this subject What
has been done in Petaluma nay not
be duplicated here In number of
years. but with the ever growing
dairy herds and the proven fields for
corn and wheat this section should
lead the state in all dairy products.

Tons of Turkeys

Aside from the tons of turkeys
that the local houses have handled
turkeys have been shipped by the
tons from the project this fall. It Is
figured that better than 70 tons Of
birds will leave Fallon by Tuesday
and that most of the birds will find a
ready market. A carload of birds left
Monday and the postoffiee was doing
a land office business.
Several buyers who have been here
the past week declare that the Fallon
birds this year should top the mar
ket. OF one hundred birds bought
only five were rejected by one com
mission man. Some few unfinished
birds have gone out and they will be
graded on the coast. Early advise to
turkey growers was that all birds
should be first class. as graded birds
on the coast market in competition
with imported turkeys will not pay
for their feed as the same expressage
and commission is exacted for this
sort of material as for the best
grades

The turkey market at interior and

better than last season and in some
instances what is considered fair
prices have been received from the
birds that have left the project Ship
ment started the latter part of the
week and tons of birds have been

The local commission houses have
been the means of disposing of con-
siderable quantity of birds. The Con-
solidated Warehouse, The 1. II. Kent
Company. Fallon Slaughtering &

Sierra Market and number of small
er sales people have handled large
quantities of birds. The Fallon

Fair Prices
While the anticipated 40 cents per
pound has not been the rule, some
good prices for finished stock have
been found. San Francisco prices
have ranged from 2S cents to 80
cents. Local prices have been from
2s to 32 cents per pound and a few
birds were disposed of early at 35
cents. Advice from San Francisco
Monday was that choice birds were
bringing 35 cents and a few orders
were consigned out on this basis. Tn
less there is. a bad slump in the mar
ket the turkey growers will receive a
fair profit for the seasons work.
The San Francisco market among
the wholesalers closed Saturday with
the following quotations.: Young,

young birds, 33 cents to 35 cents per
pound. Old birds sold at 80 cents and
80 cents per pound.
The local people have been gov
erned by the coast prices and it is
figured that it will cost in the neigh.
borhood of six cents per pound for
freight and commissions. Severa
coast commission merchants that
have dealt fair with the project farm
ers have received the bulk of tn,
