Last year a sixteen-year-oId boy
raised 173 bushels Of corn on one
acre Of ground. Who gave him the
Instructions to do this, other than
his father and neighborS who are
themselves farmers? And this year
many other young men all over
this mountain section doing the
same, or almost the same thing.
Not long ago ] had occasion to
attend the Union Meeting at Speed
well, meeting called to discuss
the best methods by which we could
reach and Christianize our noun
tain people. And the very men
whom we had appointed to be pres
ent and instruct US were absent,
not at home, but out a3itatin9 the
question Of the Farm-Life School
and these were some Of the educat-
ed men that we hear so much
ABOUT. Understand, please, that I
do not mean to cast any lnSlnua-
tons, whatever, but the point
want to make is this: Let us do the
tasks that are appointed US and do
them well. and not be trying to
NEEDLE with things that we are alb
Solutely ignorant Of
Our mothers, and the mothers OF
our sons and daughters may be
lacking in some respects, but they
like the good old farmers, are them
selves making Improvements as the
years come and 60, and if the girls
that are coming along now will eel
along even half as we'll as those
who have gone before, will guar
antee that there will never be any
kick coming from the other side @
the house.
In conclusion | wish only to urge
the farmer to 60 right on making
Improvements over the preceding

same thing. but of all the men tha

Swift's Charity Sermon.

wearied many of his hearers, the De.

came to his knowledge and when a
few months later it fell TO him to
preach a similar sermon in the same
place he determined TO profit by he
criticism.
His text was: "IIe that hath pity
upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord,
and that which he hath given will he
repay him again" And after repeating
these words in more than commonly
emphatic tone the dean added, Now.

.ARTESlAN Wells
IN SMITH VALLEY
Two Wells Flowing 40 Miners
Inches of Water Struck
In Smith Valley

Two of the largest artesian wells
yet developed In Smith Valley, were
struck last week and are now flow
ing forty miners inches of water.
The wells are owned by VIM. Scott
and Joe Lynch and are located on the
old Mann ranch. They are less than
250 feet apart, 80 feet deep with a
three inch casing. Howard Beers,
the well driller. bored the wells with
the machine formerly owned by Burt
Dake of Genoa.
The Mann ranch is some six miles
from Wellington and the residents of
that section are jubilant over the tap
ping of such large flow. The en-
tire Smith Valley lies over great
artesian belt and many wells have
been tapped in that section. How
ever. with but few exceptions, the
flows encountered have not been OF
sufficient capacity for irrigation to
any great extent.
Mr. Beers stated to a representa-
tive of this paper, that if the wells
were located on his land in this Val
ley, they would be worth 10000
If that be the case, their value in
Smith Valley must be equally as
great TO their owners. Mr.. Beers
who came in from Smith Valley
Saturday, returned to that section
Monday and is arranging with diff
ferent parties there to drill ad-
ditional wells.
Like Carson Valley, the agricul-
tural possibilities of Smith Valley are
held within certain limitations by
the lack of water to irrigate the vast
tracts of fertile land now lying idle
there. The artesian belt is offering
ian opportunity of irrigation without
relying upon the flow of the Walker
river as source of supply. While
there has been some talk of build
ing storage reservoirs with which
to supply that section, it is believed
that the cost involved in completing
such a system, would make it toe
great an undertaking for private in
di sidnals, but is rather problem
for the United States Reclamation
Service to work out and complete.

AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT
Car Skids on Turn and Lands i'm
Irrigation Ditch-Occu-
pants Escape Injury

Last Saturday an automobile driy-
en- by Niels Christensen, skidded on
the turn going into the Genoa lane at
the Schacht corner and landed on
its side in a large irrigation ditch
Besides the driver. Mrs. NJ. Christen-
sen and three children and Mr.. and
Mrs. Peter Wilslef were in the car at
the time of the accident and were
upset, but aside from being drench-
ed and receiveng a few minor bruis-
es. escaped unhurt. Vim. Stodieck,
who was at the Marquat ranch at
the time. hurried to the assistance of
the unfortunate party and took them
To Genoa in his auto for change of
dry clothing.
Just as young Christensen was
about turn into the Genoa lane. he
met an auto coming from Carson
Both drivers became confused and to
avoid collision, Christensen made a
sharp turn, and although travelling at
"A slow rate of speed. lost control of
his machine and the wheels on the
left side missed the bridge and the
ear landed on its side in the ditch.
Had IL not been that the top was up,
the car would have turned bottom
side up. and in this event. the oe-
cupants would have been pinned be-
meath and probably drowned before
assistance could have arrived.
