THE AGRICULTURAL WEALTH
OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY GREAT

1t is good to be a Nevadan. Amidst
the worlds hubbub, destruction and
jarring of business, through war and
transition of economic relationship,
Humboldt county, Nevada, sits serene
attending to it's moral obligations
and performing its duties without
the travail and fear of want.
This is an admirable position to
hold and why is this composureg 1t
is the blessings of its natural wealth
resources-land and mines respond
ing to the intelligent touch of Neva-
da's splendid citizenry.
The story is not even commenced
to tell of Nevada Is capacity There
is an efficiency in these native oppor-
tunities that Humboldt county has to
offer the thrifty and enterprising. 1t
has much to offer and talk about.
These things are not of yesterday !;
they belong to tomorrow. What is be
hind is gone.~ 1t is to figure for six
months, yes years, ahead. 1t is what
can we reach in material advance and
gain for the betterment of conditions
and surroundings.
There is Mother Earth, land and
cultural resources are immense in
Winnemucca. Let labor and thrift
apply and wealth will come and give
this county more prosperous null
titude where there are, now, only a
few who enjoy the blessing and ca
pacity of our rich soil.
The cost work to bring this about
means efficiency. This will reflect
Humboldt county's future.
Enough to Care for Thousands.
The land opportunities with agri-
cultural resources are immense in
Humboldt county-enough to take
care of many thousands To show
this let the statement be made that
irrigation applied within the knowl-
edge of the Winnemuccan offers a
tion brought about in portions Of our
sagebrush section with cultivated
acres and agricultural possibilities is
a marvel and can hc classed as a
modern miracle.
Benefcent Result of Irrigation.
Let the Taylor and Sheehan ranch
to the east be an inspiring example.
The benefcent results of irrigation
and cultivation are magnificent on
that ranch. From this source alone
Taylor & Sbeehan will extort a
princely profit this year. The ranch
WILL through it's cultivated acres -af-
proximate a profit of $50 an acre.
These cultivated acres are an illus
tration that this section of Nevada
has all the things that stand for un-
precedented prosperity. If the peo-
pie who can do hut will it.
The elements of uneultivated lands
are plentiful. There are myriads of
idle waste acres today in which the
same can be accomplished as Tavlor
& Sheehan are accomplishing. With
intensive farming by the small farm
er this profit and return from land
can he increased much for those who
will reclaim and till the arid acres.
In Paradise Valley.
Another object lesson for those
who seek homes and the bounties of
our rich soil is in Paradise valley,
with its compact acreage under cul-
tivation and all sorts of farm pro
duee to be marketed at rood prices
10 consumers; where grow and thrive
horses, beef, mutton, WOOL turkeys,
chickens, ducks, geese. hogs. butter,
cantaloupes, potatoes, onions, apples,
fruits and grains, all of superior
flavor and delicacy unmatched any
where. There is luciousness about
the fruits and vegetables that makes
them a premium commodity. The
meats, too, have the flavor and the
sweetness subjective to our fine cli-
mate and richly laden soil with a
plant food supply not surpassed.
The Good and Newest.
For recent demonstration and OBJ
jective aim take a view of Grass
valley, at Winnemucca S door. They,
the new brood of farmers, are doing
here, what has been done so success
