PLANT LARGE ALFALFA ACREAGE

Few local people realize the
magnitude Of land development in
progress in this valley. In every
direction from Fallon the farmers
have been exceedingly busy with
the work of reducing rough desert
land into cultivated tracts. For

most sought and land preparation
has been principally for the seed
of this valuable forage crop. On
