STOCK OF GRAINS IS
SMALLER THAN USUAL
RANGE FEEDING INTERPRETED
WITH BY EXTREME COLD
AND SNOW

The United States department of
agriculture, bureau of crop esti-
mates, recently issued the following
notes for the Nevada section:
February was an unusually cold
month. Minimum temperatures
ranging from 10 to "a degrees
below zero occurred on one or more
days in the northern district, and
hard freezes in the extreme southern
district. The first half was gen.
orally fine, but the latter half was
unsettled and unusually windy. The
precipitation was generally deficient
in Nevada, but very heavy in the
Truckee and Carson basins, and in
some parts of the Walker and
Humboldt basins. The prospects for
water this summer have improved
appreciably.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1917-03-17

Stocks of grain on farms in
Nevada on March l are estimated
to be smaller than for several years.
Heavy demand for high-grade west
ern wheat in the east and north to
replace the northern spring wheat.
which was almost a failure, pro-
duced keen competition and high
prices, of which the rancher vas
disposed to take advantage. Some
reserve stocks of wheat two years
old were sold during the past win
ter. The long, cold winter and
high-priced hay encouraged greater
rations of grain for stock and used
up the reserves of oats and barley.
The winter range did not prove
exceptionally good and feeding in
many places was interfered with by
eve cold. Stock losses in some
sections have been rather heavy.
The high prices of lambs and wool
induced many sheepmen to send old
and unfit ewes to the winter range
and this class of sheep suffered
eve losses.
