ELkO DRY FARM PROVES
TO BE SUCCESSFUL ONE

1T is unfortunate that so many of
our farmers have not eesn the work
that is being carried On at the dry
farm at Elko. Visitors are always
very much surprised when they see
the products of the farm. Now that
new areas are being put in shape
for seeding the work Is assuming
more pretentions proportions. The
fall seeding was all finished by
September LIST and practically all the
grain is up. This years crop is har
vested, but not threshed The sta
ton suffers from the lack. of a
STATIONERY garin separator, as it is
almost impossible to keep varieties
pure without it," Such. in effect
was the statement made by Prof E.
A. Howe, the superintendent of III
Elko dry farm, who has just returned
from visit to that station. He
speaks very highly of the work al
ready accomplished there, of the
high quality of the grain. potatoes
etc., grown under dry farm condi
tons, and feels much encouraged II
carrying out tn good work.
Prof. Howes thinks 1t is serious
handicap to the Elko station AS i
is to the Reno experiment station
that there Is no provision for thresh
ing varieties separately as they ma
ture. It is practically impossible t.
keep varieties pur e withuot sucl
equipment or to give an accurate
report as to the yield and experim eli
stations are primarily supposed t.
send out pure seed and accurate re
ports.
Samples Of grain in, sheaf from
the dry farm were on exhibition a
Elko and these, by special request
have been sent to the fair at Sac
ramento. AS soon as thresing !
| finished, samples CT each of tn
different products will be sent t
| the Agricultural College at Reno an
will be on exhibition in the agronom
| lecture room.
Contrary to generally accepte
ideas, the spring crops have don
much better than the autumn sowr
Some Of the spring wheat seem t
be of superior quality. Seven varit
ties of potatoes were planted an
promise a yield of fairly large tuber
of good quality.
