fully and profitably before in Para
disc and Lovelock valleys. They
have made the start to reclaim and
cultivate and the results attained in
two years are most efficient Here
the cheap agricultural lands of Ne
vada exhibit what can be done for
home comfort and competence. Here
the land adaptabilities for success
full farming are fully shown and only
two years beginning. In this con
nection we will quote K. NJ Edmunds,
who has, during the last year or two,
installed pumping plants and direct
Ell well boring machines and success
fully established source of water
supply which spells reclamation for
nlyriads of productive acres for which
there was no idea that it was posi-
the rose of summer and grow all
consumption.
Edmunds briefly told the Silver
State that through the well-boring
and pumping system to his personal
knowledge during the past two years,
many unproductive sagebrush and
desert acres had been made fruitful
and profitable to the point of high
profit. ga number of these successes
are in Grass valley, lower Paradise,
Clover and other nearby valleys. In
not single instance where / direct
ed the boring machine and installed
the pumping system did we fail to
get water or were we unable to pro-
woke growth of all the agricultural
and vegetable products that man
plants and grows for profit in this
part of Nevada. The boring and
pumping plants all work efficiently
and do the good work
What Has Been Accomplished.
''On the Noah Taylor ranch well
80 feet deep pumps 500 gallons of
water a minute and this amply irri-
gates so acres of land this season.
Fifteen miles further on is the Lewis
ranch. Here we put well down 130
feet and in year put under eultiva-
tion IS acres, growing the finest
crops of wheat, oats, barley, fine veg
etahles and all sorts of garden
truck
''The Grass valley wells bored are
doing fine service for the new farm
ers and reach a depth all the way
from 20 to $50 feet The 500 foot
-Tell throws 1000 gallons of water
minute. In reaching this deeper
flow of water we passed through sew
en- stratas of water. These water
stratas ranged from six inches to
seven feet and the deeper is still in
water gravel.
"A number of other wells have
ben put down here. The Bohnart
well Of 130 feet depth, flows LOCO
gallons of water minute and this
year there is under cultivation 20
acres and raises in abundance the
grains, vegetables and grasses so
profitable in this section of Nevada
Every well put down in this section
is doing its work and causing a re-
sponse which should attract the
homeless and the homeseeking thrift
ty who regard opportunity with all
its profit and gain as worthy the hon
orable endeavor of the true manhood
and womanhood of America
To gain these profits and advan-
tages all enc has to do is to grasp
the idea and 90 to work and do the
day live in afflenee and comfort and
enjoy the | uxuries of stored up
wealth.
Here are opportunities of actual
value to be had for the taking and
the toll and conditions required for
home farm are small compared with
those early settlers who pioneered
and builded in the wilds and in op-
position to the savage.
The dawn for the farmer and new
agriculturist is shedding an alluring
light and presenting glft by way of
opportunity rare in any other section
o. America.
