Cotton in Nevada. only $50 miles

That may seem almost unbelievable
to those who know Nevada only rs

of cotton with the south. But cotton
is grown in Southern Nevada, and
more than that, it is the best cotton
grown in the United States, and with
the greatest yield.
At the office of the News there are
some sprigs OF cotton plant brought
from the Pahrump ranch, in the val
