Going through the country on the Arizona side of the river, for several miles below Yuma, one encounters the same type of country and soil that is found iii the Imperial Valley country around Brawley, CaleXico ard other points west of the river The fertility Of the black prairie soils of Hi noiS has s.0nishcd people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility Of the valleys Of the Nile has been a matter Of history for at least 60J0 years. Those who are familinr with Illinois prairie soil, and those who know what the valley of the Nile is for agriculture. khow that this lower Colorado River region surpasseS both of them.
 If you ask a farmer along this stretch of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with astonishment ai your ignorance. lie will tell you no one knows whether it is 60 feet, 6Oe or 6C00 feet deep. It is practically without bottom. It is so thoroughly well mixed with sand, dsintegratcd granite and other rocks that it never breaks.
