Excerpt from The New Nevada, What It Is and What It Is to Be: The Era of Irrigation and the Day of Opportunity
The agricultural resources of Nevada deserve the attention of every man who tills the soil and who looks to the west for a home. It has been so long considered a mining region and its history has been so identified with the production of the precious metals that it has hardly been thought of as a farmers' land. Considerable attention has been paid to stock raising from an early date, but it was not until the general government undertook the construction of great irrigating works in Nevada that the interest of farmers was widely arrested, and inquiries began to be made about soil and climate and the range of production. It is our purpose to anticipate such inquiries as the homeseeker who does not know this inter-mountain region would naturally make, and to answer them honestly and as fully as possible. There is no wisdom in deception. Exaggerated statements react.
