Several large cattle owners visited
Mason Valley last week Offering five
dollars a ton FOR first crop alfalfa.
The Yerington Times reports that the
farmers refused the offer. and adds
that within six months from now,
they will probably wish that they had
accepted the offer. While that may
be true it is also a fact that there is
very little money in il for the farmer
at those prices. The latter is prob

Sheep Industry
Third in State

That the sheep industry in Neya-
da is third in its importance, al
though closely pressed by the cattle
business, and exceeded only by rail-
roading and mining. is evidenced by
figures compiled with great care by
the Reno Gazette, which for days
has been receiving reports from
sheep men and officials. In cases
where the figures varied an average
was struck
Although the tax commission
found fewer than 1.0O0000 sheep in
Nevada. there are other sources of
information which fix the number at
100000. These later figures seem
TO more nearly approach the correct
number, for it is of record that an
nually there are $4,000 slaughtered
here or sold beyond the borders of
the state.
The approximate value of these
sheep and lambs slaughtered or sold
is S315 a head. making total of
about s2,o00,O00
Wool produced in Nevada per year
will average 100000 pounds, and
the average price in 1914 ehus far
has been Sl3.25 per 100 pounds, al
though contracts have been written
for as high as II cents. The total
amount received for wool was in the
vicinity of 81 100000. In the figures
thus far given no computation is
made of the money received for rams
or other breeding sheep.
Sheepmen employ directly 1000
men. paying them an average wage
of S4650 per month, including board
or a total labor account spent in Ne
wanda in one year of about S1,00,000.
Labor employed in handling, shear
ing and feeding will easily add $20o,-
000 to this total annually.
This does not include supplies,
land holdings, winter ranches or
summer homes of the owners.
Next to the cattle business. the
sheep business is Neyada's largest
agricultural revenue maker. The
lands used for range purposes are
almost entirely useless otherwise. in
that they comprise the outskirting
sections of mountain valleys, sage
brush flats wher irrigation is not
practieed thus far and where snow
and winter rains provide the neces-
sary water supply.
Nevada. according to several au-
thorities questioned, has almost
reached its limit in wool and NUT
ton production on the open range but
the possibilities of close fence sheep
raising have not even been prospect
ed yet.
