The Bunshing ranch near Jensen Bay, managed by Mr Reader, showcases extensive irrigation and farming in the Ashley Valley. The soil, enriched by phosphorus, supports large crops of alfalfa, grains, vegetables, and especially watermelons. The operation employs many workers to harvest hay, raise livestock, and manage nearly 55.5 acres of alfalfa yielding about 45 tons per haystack. The ranch houses 3,500 ewes, 30 cattle, 100 horses, and 75 pigs with 800 tons of hay fed on site. Crops include 100 acres of wheat and oats plus potatoes. Water comes from Brust Creek via a ten mile canal system with notable ditch cleaning and water distribution efforts.
Secretary Milton Welling says peace officers can rely on his support to enforce laws and revoke state charters of clubs or roadhouses used as fronts for bootlegging or gambling.

Two 23 year old women Gladys Brown and N Wilian Sutton faced sentencing in Utah federal court for Dyer Act violations. They admitted involvement in a car theft from Mississippi last fall after a gun battle with deputies in the St George area. Authorities describe them and J D Snyder as part of a wider gang that traveled the country stealing cars and looting gas stations and stores. The group allegedly planned a hiking trip from Omaha after troubles in marriage led to the scheme.
The court heard a confession from girls who traveled with the group by car after meeting Snyder and Self in Winnemucca. They described stealing a series of items from Utah to Kansas, including camping gear and gas, and said they were captured after a highway incident near Cedar City. Judge Johnson indicated they would be sent to a women's penitentiary in West Virginia if they plead guilty.
