northern counties, adjoining Oregon
and Idaho, the extremes of temperat-
ure are as great as in the upper Mis-.
sissippi valley.
In the southern part OF the State,
which is bounded by the Colorado
river, the climate is semi-tropical,
oranges, figs, cotton and other prod
ucts OF Southern climes flourish and
mature, bountiful crops resulting. In
the valley OF the Humboldt the wheat
crop averages over 45 bushels to the
acre. Here may be seen the most i'm
proved farm machinery; gang plows
drawn by twenty animals, and COM
bined harvesters and threshers, which
reap twenty or thirty acres OF grain a
day and deliver il in bags ready for
the market. The dry climate peculiar
to this country in the harvest season
enables the farmer to cut and thresh
his grain at the same time.
We have abundance of rich soil, ca
pable of producing all kinds of grain,
fruits and vegetables peculiar to the
temperate zone, but water is scarce,
though there is sufficient, if stored, to
irrigate millions of acres. Those who
made millions from the great gold and
silver bonanzas have invested it else
where, and as Congress will make no
appropriation to get land and water to-
gether and our home resources are
limited, we have to wait until Eastern
capital realizss the advantages for in
vestment afforded by Nevada. when
our State will be among the most pros
porous in the Union. We have the
most salubrious climate and more sun
shine to the square mile than any
other known place in North America.
Very respectfully,
REISHoLD SADLER,
Governor OF Nevada.
