general trend In Carson Valley for
the betterment of the poultry industry

Improvement OF poultry there has
been marked Improvement of hous-

Ing raised, and that In some instances
where farmers raised less than one
hundred chickens In a season, the
number has been increased above the
thousand mark.

portions, although forage is still abun-
dant. Alfalfa and other hay crops.

clip of wool is being secured. The
snow melted slowly in the higher
mountains, and all streams maintained
moderately high stages. Irrigation is
in progres In all districts. Dirt roads

cept that they are muddy in places in
the west and north.
