PURE BRED STOCK
SCARCE IN CALIFORNIA


Practically every we'll known
breeder of registered, purebred seock
in California has little or no surplus
on hand for sale This is a very
healthy indication, but we regret
that the capacity of our breeding
herds has been oyertaXed TO such an
extent that many willing buyers have
not been eble 10 secure the stock
they want. This is particularly true
of purebrcd swine demand There
have been some very large orders gu-
Ing untitled for some time now, and
the demand for fall pigs is already
large. One prominent breeder has al.
ready been induced to accept payment
for pigs that are yet unborn, and in
all the leading herds the youngsters
are snapped up barely past weaving
time. ....
There is Il demand for very high
class dairy bulls that cannot at this
time be filled by our breeders. There
are quite number of buyers out
right now for bulls to meet theiI
specifications, willing to pay up tc
$4,000 to secure the right bull, ever
if ii is calf.

alno separate one for the young
man. The former was a pretty brooch
and was won by Miss Alice Brennan.
The latter, tie clasp, was won by
Mr.. Thomas. The other guessing con-
test was one which embraced the
names OF different cities. fruits and
flowers. The young lady making the
best score in this contest was Miss
Delpha Jewell and received a Kew
pie scarf pin. After the games had
been indulged in until late hour re-
freshments were served which con-
the party broke up. everyone present
voted 1t one OF the most attractive
affair ever held in the school and all

SMALL FARMS PAY IN
SOUTHERN NEVADA

Intensified farming with not more
than ten or fifteen acres to a farmer
rather than large land holdings in
the Moapa district Is advocated by
+. F. Dunn. resident OF Moapa,
who v.as in Salt Lake Saturday, says
the Herald-Repubican.
In discussing Intensified farming
Mr. Dunn gave some interesting fig.
ures. lie declared that last year
with many of the farmers trying to
raise crops on twenty to forty acre
farms there were shipped out OF the
district 162 carloads OF cantaloupes !;
that this year with the farms cut up
into smaller parcels there were ship
ped from the district 300 cars OF
cantaloupes and that the shipments
OF late winter and early spring veg
etables were more than double those
OF last year.
Mr. Dunn said that with small
farms 1t Is possible to raise two to
three crops year and get good re.
turns on the money invested. He
said that at present more than 100
acres have been planted to early
spring vegetables and tina: more
than 100 additional acres would be
planted within two weeks. This is
land that has yielded at least two
crops this year.
The following letters remain uncal-
led for in the Elko Post Office for the
