NEVADA As A WHEAT STATE

Would it not be great if Nevada
should turn out to be the great
wheat State Of the Union? asked
the Salt Lake Telegram. We
know a company that has a great
ranch in Nevada, and talking to
one of the members yesterday,
asked, How much of your land
can be irrigated?" His reply
was. "A good deal. several
thousand acres. But" he said
that Is not all. There are 80, 900
acres of that land where ny
actual experiment there is an
abundance Of water four feet
below the surface" Now, if
wheat can be sown after the first
rains in the fall, enough to
m oisten the land, and make the
wheat begin to grow, the wheat
roots will follow down until they
find the water. That has been done
here near Nephi and TIE wheat
this year is six feet tall. and the
owners do not know yet how many
bushels per acre it will yield. The
writer has seen wheat roots where
the bank of the river had caved
out, running down Ave feet. That
was on the Yuba river, and II it
will do that on the Yuba river. 1t
will find that water sure. The
old rule was that a wheat root was
- long as the stalk above the
ground which wo do not doubt Is
true In gravelly land. If there is
q clay supersoil, 1t Is not that be-
cause II will stop at the clay; but
where 1t has a chance it will
follow down to the water. and as
the water recedes in the summer
1t will continue to 60 after the
water like a grape. The grape Is
the most marvellous Of them all.
That will go down twenty feet to
our certain knowledge. We have
,en Il where it has followed dowr
creVices in rocks and where tn {,
crevices were nearly colsed by the
rock on both sides. the grape
would flatten out to an inch wide
and perhaps quarter of an'incf
In thickness. and then when 1t got
through that, where it could have
room, it would resume It's original
form.
But what we began to say wa.
that Nevada has much boil thu:

the formost wheat State in the

BAD CROP OUTLOOK

A Washington dispatch of the

Throughout the country is indicated
by the, report If the department

The report is the worst, as to
general conditions the department
has issued in any single month

seriously affected extends from
Pennsylvania westward embracing
all the great corn. wheat and hay

exception of Virginia and North
Carolina. ample rains fave served

Conditions in the Pacific northwe s t

indicate a material slump in the
prospects for all crops.

most important, declined during
the month from condition atou,
5 per cent below the average to
