with the preliminary esimaes. According O the figures the yield per acre
of the pncipal crops of the state in 1914 will be Is follows: Corn, 35 bushels
and Irish potatoes, 172 bushels. Nevada farmers produced $4,000 tons of
tame II cultivated hay during the year 1914, according to the preliminary
estimates made by the United States Department of Agriculture. The yield
last year a $4,000 tons. The product is selling tor an average of S103 per
ton, compared with $500 in 1913. The yield per acre this season is 325 tons
and the quality is two per cent better than that Of the average crop for the
past ten years. The 1914 average yield of hay per acrei is higher in Nevada
