Experiments III deep and shallow Gull

hine-year series of such experiments
and reports as follows: q
-; For deep cultivation the double SHOW

walton has given a larger yield of grain,
regardless of weather conditions. One

season the yield of slower is larger
from the shallow cultivation. 4
Taking the average for the nine sea-

grain by exactly four bushels per acre,
and in slower by over 200 pounds per
acre. This matter Of deep and shall

I shut mine ears against their call
Content to find my exile sweet

Another Road Proposition.

In conversation with Mr.. A. Lu
Hale. we learn that the road south to
Smoot and through Thomas Fork to
Montpelier is much the best road ct this
season of fthe year. We are informed
that by repairing two dugways which
cannot be used now, the road would be
much better to Montpelier over that
route than where it is travelled now.
Uinta County has spent several hundred
dollars on that road and by doing a
little more work will make very good
road and the distadce is only AZ miles to
Montpelier from Alton. Mr. Hale just
returned from trip over that road and
was surprised with the good road and
the short distane. There are only two
low divides to cross on the entire dis
lance, Alton Independent.
