Crop conditions in Elko County for
this season are rather poor. due to an
extremely dry late Summer and Fall.
The grain and hay crops have suf-

age, coountless thousands of jack rab-
bits infest the fields of the farmers, in
many instances practically robbing
the stock of late Summer field pas
ture and threaten to make inroads on

teresting fact connected with the
abundance of rabbits this season Is
that five years ago one could ride the
