c. E. Mainland Tells of Marvellous
Development of Nevada.

from Utah. from Colorado and ever
from Nebraska will have seized prob
ably the last and the best opportunity
and will have taken up some OF Tie
best farming ground outdoors.
Within the next five years Nevada
with an annual yield of 20.00000t
bushels will be supplying California
with wheat in place of Washington
supplying Nevada with wheat
"Within ten years Nevada will dou-
bic in population"
Such are few Of the statements OF
c. +. Mainland, general sales agent
OF Southern Pacific lands, with offices
in Los Angeles and in San Francisco,
who has just returned to Reno from
a periodical visit to Elko and Hum
boldt county
Mr.. Mainland is not doing his talk
ing for the mere purpose OF selling
land. Right now there are only So
coo acres in Elko and a like acreage
in Humboldt county which were
placed on the market and over half
OF that has been sold The land IS
selling fast enough but the people Of
Nevada who should know its value
and who should realize the opportun-
ity to get in on the ground floor, do
not seem TO realize their chance.
"A Jew days ago | took trip to
Ruddell's ranch about five mics south
OF Deeth." said Mr. Mainland. Il
took another trip to Guthrie. y miles
south of Winnemucca. and was as
tonished at the showing The finest
OF peaches. apples, pears. oats and
barley are to be found there. They
make the most attractive of exhibits.
Some of the fruit has been placed on
show in Winnemucca by the Winnie
mucca Chamber of Commerce. Other
fruit | have shipped To San Francisco
to show the people there. The grain
fields look like old fields in northern
Colorado, and although the people
here do not realize it. those III San
Francisco are beginning to look On
Nevada as a third logical source Of
supply suppementing the San Joaquin
and the Sacramento valleys.
This marvellous change has been
the result Of surprisingly short his
tory OF intelligent cultivation. 1t is
practically the result OF years work.
1t is most significant
Nevada people must remember The
time when fruit raising and agricul-
ture did not attract much attention IN
Colorado. Then they remember that
in just about five years those interests
exceeded in importance even the C
markable mining interests OF that
State The change was not heraldcd,
yet some few reaped fortunes. The
same process is happening in Nevada.
The eye OF every shrewd farm agent
OF the country son Nevada right now.
Prudent and far sighted farmers OF
Utah are preparing to come in by
thousands. Central Californiaans are
making inquiries and investments.
We have had inquiries from Canada,
where a big land agent spoke of send
ing settlers down from acress the line
to take advantage of the opportunities
here on his recommendation
This transformation has largely
been accomplished by advances in ir-
rigation and dry farming. These eN-
periments have been proved. Pump
irrigation. is now an honored practice
We have gotten out pamphlet on the
Winnemucca country and the demon
stration of the work of one nan alone
there. NJ B. Johnson, has been rev
citation Soon we will get out another
pamphlet on Elko county and there
is equally good news to spread there
Nevada was represented to splen-
did advantage at the Sacramento fair
She will be represented at the Utan
fair and the jacksonville apple show
Our company is sending agriculture
exhibits and distributing pamphlets
at all our shows. The work OF ProfeS-
sor True at Sacramento is worth thou
sands OF dollars 10 this State. Il
would be worth an equal amount to
have the university exhibit sent Il
Utah and | think it will be done.
The land we sell is bat fractior
OF what can be occupied ii the new.
is properly spread. We are selling 81

ferred payments at g per cent The
charge is from So to.SlO per acre The
time vii come when you will say =
knew it all the time, but the question
then will be, How many acres did yot
buy"
