In general beets require four or five
months of growing weather for their
successful production. In Nevada,
whore the moisture is applied by irri-
cation, the crop may be harvested at a
certain stage, thus making the condi-
tions ideal In the more eastern sec
tions of the country, where the mois-
ture is applied by rainfall, second
growth may occur after maturity
caused by rain, which greatly reduces
the sugar content of the beet.
The sugar beet does remark ably well
at high elevations from the fact that
it is injured very little by frost and
hailstorms unless they are too severe
or too early. Profitable crops Of sugar
beets are, however, seldom produced
above the elevation of 5000 feet.
Probably the best soil for sug-
ar beets is good, deep, clayey loan
with sufficient sand or silt to allow its
being easily pulverized. This should
be underlaid with a pervious stratus,
not coarse enough to allow of rapid
percolation. Such soils are quite com
mon in most of the irrigated valleys of
Nevada. The clay loan soils require
more work than the lighter soils and
are put in proper tilth with greater
difficulty, although they are richer in
available plant food and are not readily
exhausted by continuous cropping.
Since the moisture is applied by irri-
cation, using the furrow method, there
is little danger of crust forming on
the surface around the plants, as is the
case after rains.
Since the sugar beet is deep rooted
it necessarily requires deep soil. The
low wet soils are poorly adapted to this
crop, as they are wet and prevent any
rapid development of the crop in the
early stages of growth, and the later
growth continues beyond the time of
maturity. Such soils produce a watery
beet of low quality, resulting in low
sugar content Soils which have a
hardpan formation within 18 inches of
the surface should never be used, since
they greatly interfere with root
growth, and also have a tendency to
lose moisture.

Inlay District Has Been Select
ed For The Founding OF A
Viticultural Experiment.

Two carloads of grape slips were
shipped to Inlay recently and hauled
to Buena Vista valley. where they
were planted. Several gasoline engines
have also been taken to the same To-
cality TO be used in irrigating vines, wa
ter being pumped from the ground, a
bounteous supply having been found.
The grapes grown will be of the
wine varieties, and they are believed
to be hardy enough to grow we'll and
yield abundantly if properly culti-
vated, which they undoubtedly will be,
as the farmers who are planting them
are thrifty Italians from California,
who made careful investigation of the
Buena Vista valley before they de-
cided to form their colony there.
There are about one hundred settlers
and their colony is about fifteen miles
southeast of Inlay. 1t is their inten-
tion to make viticulture a speciality and
will convert their crops into wine.
They are making a garden out of what
was until short time ago nothing but a
barren waste. This is believed to be
the first attempt at horticulture on
any important scale in Nevada.

EASTERN SUGAR MAN HERE.
K. c. Bialy, A Michigan Sugar
Man Visits Fallon. Nevada
Sugar Co. Stock all Sold.

| A combination of capital was effected
at the special meetings of the Nevada
Sugar Company's stockholders and
directors held Friday and Saturday,
means the earliest possible develop
ment of the sugar possibilities of this
great valley. If, at any time, the To-
cal sugar system has been beset with
problems, financial or otherwise, those
problems are ancient history now, for
all stock has been sold, the undertaking
Is on easy street, and but short time
now remains for Fallon's name to be
heralded the length and breadth of this
great land as the center of one of the
banner sugar producing sections of the
nation.
Mr.. R. C. Baly. prominent sugar
man of Bay City, Michigan, arrived in
Fallon on Fridays train and attended
both the stockholders and directors
meetings. After making it plain at
the former that he and the people whom
he represents, would take all unsold
capital stock, he was elected director
at the last named meeting, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
County Commissioner c. p. Cirac, of
Saltwater. In the future, Mr.. Bialy
will be actively associated with the
Nevada Sugar Company, and will lend
his years of experience and intimate
knowledge gained thereby, to the good
of the local undertaking.
All arrangements are made for the
earliest possible completion of the fac
tory building and the unpurchased
machinery needed for a modern 5O0-ton
capacity sugar factory has been tele-
graphed for to eastern manufacturers,
with specification that the machinery
ordered be loaded upon the cars at dates
to be specified by the company officials.
In the meantime, work has been com
menced upon the spur which will cor
meet the factory with the Hazen- Fallon
railroad. Graders are busy and no
time will be lost from this time forward
in completing the one and onehalf mile
spur, for it is imperative that trans
portation facilities be had for the trans
portation Of the heavy machinery that
will soon be arriving here. Thus
bril fly summarized are the develop
ments to date having to do with our
sugar factory.
Speaking with Mr.. Bialy Monday,
we were told some of this gentleman 8
opinions of this great valley. Among
other things he said:
Prospects for a sugar factory un-
dertaking never looked brighter than
do those that now surround the Nevada

.ELKO COUNTY TO Be FAVORED
With Development of Desert
Lands By Large Syndicate
of Eastern Capitalists.

A Colorado company with a capital
of 81, 900 is making a survey OF
lands adjacent to the DEVILS Gate
ranch, owned by II. Morgan Hill, on
the North Fork with view of putting
in large rock and cement dam. They
now have crew of six surveyors on
the ground, who have been at work for
two weeks. Their plan is to store
the water in the early spring months,
when millions of gallons go to waste,
and to sell it to the owners of ranches
on the lower Humboldt.
Three years ago the United States
government sent out experts who
placed measuring plant at the gate
and sent men to take memoranda of
same. but as they learned that all of the
land in the basin below the dam was
owned by private individuals they aban-
doned the idea of putting in the dam,
and this fact becoming known to the
present interested parties they decided
10 take the matter up.
Ii the proposition is carried to a
finish it will be of incalculable value to
the state, as there is sufficient water
now going to waste every year to irri-
gate thousands of acres of land, which
today is only barren sagebrush. -
