FULLNESS OF CROPS is
seen AS SEASON
Progresses
CUTTING OF THE SECOND
CROP OF ALFALFA BEGUN
Some Ranchers Expect to get Third
Crop-Harvesting of Grain on
in Full Blast.

The cutting of the second crop of
alfalfa in the Lovelock Valley has be-
gun. Up to the middle of the week,
Emil Holmstrom and Joe Sillacci, on
the old Bailey place, were the only
ones who had started, but by Monday
of next week nearly all the ranchers
will have begun on the second crop.
On some of the ranches of the valley
a third crop will be cut and on all the
ranches where there is no third crop
good pasture will be gotten after the
second crop.
The harvesting of the grain is go
ing ON steadily. On some of the
smaller ranches the wheat has all been
cut and is now ready for the threshing
machine. The big combined harvesters
are at work on the larger ranches and
many hundred of sacks daily are be
ing reaped. The cost per acre to cut
with the combined harvester does not
exceed 81, and it takes a good sack
sewer to keep up with the big ma
chimes.
On Monday Of this week l.. N. Car
penter received a j. 1. Case separator,
and traction engine. This big outfit
has been taken to his ranch and, will
shortly be put into commissi n.
AS the harvest season IS drawing to
a close it is readily seeL that the crops
will exceed. the half million mark in
value, as published early in the sea
son by the Tribune.
