With a climate ranging from that
OF Idaho 70 that OF southern Califor-
MIA. great varieties OF crops are be
ing raised and heavy yields Of staple
crops are being reported In pro
duct per acre and prices realized Ne
vada now leads many OF the western
states with established reputation for
wheat. barley. oats, alfalfa and po-
ratOes. Nevada livestock is on safe
basis Future prices are assured
because OF the constant and increas-
ing demand from Pacific coast mar
ket centers.
Under the operations OF the Carey
irrigation act several new projects
are being completed which will in
the near future increase considerably
he irrigated areas.
Close to Coast Markets
Nevada is conveniently loeated
with reference to the great central
markets OF the Pacific coast and
we'll supplied with railroads for the
transportation OF its products. The
strong and constantly increasing de
mand from rapidly developing mining
camps guarantees good prices for
grains. fruits and vegetables. The
Nevada farmer has a certainty on
crops and profits which many states
do not possess.
The world does not understand Ne
yada and its agricultural possibilities,
because il has not advertised its re-
sources as have other western states
which have been putting forth yigor-
/ Gus efforts in recent years 10 attract
settlers from the high priced lands
in the central states. With less than
100000 population, CT less than one
/ person to the square mile, there Is
no danger OF oyercrowding. and for
many years ground floor conditions
will exist for the pioneer farmer and
I investor. The efficient work OF the
state agricultural experiment station
is being recognized now ami the fact
that Nevada cattle have been taking
prizes for several years at the Sac
ramento state fair is entitled TO the
attention and intelligent interest OF
not only the people Of Nevada but Of
the enterprising people of California
who are looking for new fields FOL
land and agricultural operations. Tit
