LAND
ON THE FARM

Additional land is being cleared at
the Raycraft farm north OF thc city.
This is probably the most successful
dry farm in Western Nevada. as
many tons of hay are harvested an
nually, while great stacks OF grain are
taken from the fields. There is no
water right connected with this farm
and dry farming is the only method OF
cultivation. The new land being
cleared and broken is we'll up toward
the hills and is high and dry above
even seepage waters. Some of the
students of dry farming could take
some real lessons at this place.
