Nevada Statistics.

While Nevada is essentially a
mining State, its industries depend
ent on soil and climate are cutting
an important and rapidly increasing
figure in its progress, as is shown in
Census Bulletin No. 1877, on Agricul-
ture in Nevada, just issued by the
Census Bureau. The following facts
are taken from the bulletin:
The total land area of Nevada is
Ioo74o square miles, or 7o,2336oo
acres, of which 2,5o5,647 acres, OF 81
per cent. are included in farms.
The farms in Nevada June 1, 1900,
numbered 2I84, and were valued at
SI56I57Io. On the same date the
value of farm implements and ma
chinery was 1888, $50, and that of live
stock, S12, I6os sos. These values added
to that OF farms give S28,673,835, the
total value of farm property.
The total value of animal products,
together with the value of all crops,
is termed total value of farm pro-
ducts" This value for 1899 was S6,-
75856o, of which amount S387o,76S, or
67.3per cent. represents the value OF
animal products, and $2,887,569, or
AT per cent. the value of crops, in
cluding forest products cut or pro-
duced en- farms. The total value of
farm products for 1899 exceeds that
for 1889 by A,o52, ,677, or 1893 per cent.
Over one-half the wheat harvested
in the State in 1899 was grown in
Humboldt county. In that county
Io,435 acres are devoted to cereals
with production valued al SI42,I59.
Over halt the barley grown in the
State in 1899 was produced in Doug
las and Humboldt counties, while
Elko and Douglas yielded almost
three-fourths Of the oats. Most of the
rye was grown in White Pine coun-
ty, and nearly all the corn in Lincoln
