DRY FARM MEANS
MONEY TO NEVADA
at Has Broueh More Taxable
Wealth Into the State Than Ali
the Mines in Nevada"

The Pleasant valley dry farm has
state than all the mines in Nevada
said Senator A. w. Hesson TO the re
porter this morning.
4 day or TWO ago Governor Bowie
rendered Senator Hesson an appoint
ment on the board of control for the
dry farm. The other appointment was
G. Vi. Bowers of Lamoille. A third
member of the board is supposed to
be one of the professors of the Uni
versity.
Prof. True, according to Senator
Hcsson, was a most valuable member
of the board. He was one of the best
informed stocimen in the state. Since
he left the board the dry farm has
not gone forward as it should.
The last legislature failed to make
an appropriation TO keep up the dry
farm, therefore the work on the farm
has practically come TO a standstiIl
The crops will be harvested for this
year. But the ground is rot being pre-
pared for next seasons experiments.
Senator Hesson yesterday wrote
Governor Boyle a letter making his
acceptance of the appointment 10 the
board conditioned On funus being pro.
vided TO run the farm. He stated that
deficiency would have to be Gre
atcd and money provided to pay the
help.
Land in the dry farm belt. said Sen
ator Hesson, can he farmed only every
other year. There must be a rota.
ton of crops. The moisture that falls
one season must be conserved In the
soil for the next years crop. There
fore, declared the senator, by not hav.
Ing money TO prepare the ground this
year we have practically lost a crop
on the dry farm for 1916.
According to Senator Hesson the
dry farm is the best investment Ne
Vada has ever made. 1t has shown
hundreds OF farmers what can be ac.
complished in this state without irri.
CATION. All that is needed is to con-
serve the natural rainfall.
The first appropriation for the dry
farm was made six years ago but only
four or five hundred dollars was ex.
pended the first year.
The dry farm comprises 16O acres
and is situated in Pleasant valley just
across the range on the Lamoille side
of the mountains.
