Are Shearing Sheep
by the Thousands

The shearing pens at the stock
yards these days is scene of activ-
lty. Dan Sabala, who has charge of
the pens, tells us that he has 48
shearers at work with Is sackers and
helpers. Up to this morning $4,000
sheep had been sheared, and there are
$1,000 waiting in the neighborhood
Then on May 9Th there are 10000
coming in from the south, making in
all a total of $4,000.
Mr.. Sabala says that the fleeces
will average about seven and half
pounds, and that the wool is of a
much better quality than last year,
as there is less dirt and grease, and
consequently should command a
higher price. There have been no
sales to date, although the wool is
being loaded onto the cars as fast
as it is sacked. There are a number
of buyers here and it is expected that
the owners and buyers will get
together soon. Free Press.

King of Belgium Sings Praises

as to what effect the Belgian fighting
seemed to have on the Germans. The
king was disc outraged. With his army
broken up it seemed to him that the
advance in order to take the last re-
naming inch of Belgian soil. But
General French kept to the theme Of
what the Belgians had done to the
Germans. At last he said:
Your majesty, collect your army
again and go back to the User. From
what you have told me am led to oe-
lieve that the Germans have suffered
so greatly that they will not be able
to attack you again or try to con-
tinue their advance for at least two
weeks"
The king did as General French
had advised him. Within ten days he
had collected his army and got them
into the trenches. The Germans did
! not attack, as French had surmised
The English general, with his extra
ordinary knowledge of warfare, had
measured the amount of fight the
Germans would have left after the
battle and his guess as to when they
would regain their strength was ex-

at Washington, and as far as it goes
indicates number of places in Ne
has been and can be developed:
Certain valleys of Southeastern Ne
vada contain large supply OF ground
water, and part OF this water can be
economically developed for irrigation.
according 10 report by Everett
Carpenter just issued by the United
States Geological Survey. The local
itics at which ground water can be
found are indicated and the best
methods of recovering the under
ground water at each locality are de-
scribed. The report contains also an
interesting account Of the geology of

first time in this report. One of the
most valuable features of the report
is guide TO watering places on
routes of travel, supplemented by a
map showing roads and watering
places and table giving the dis
tances between watering places.
Meadow Valley Drainage Basin
No attempt has been made to util-
izc ground water for irrigation in
Duck valley. but local conditions in
dcate that considerable water is pres
cnt there and that in the southern
part OF the valley it could be pro6ta-
oily pumped for the irrigation of hay
grain. fruit and garden produce to
camps. In Ursine valley water in :,
bed of uuconsolidated sediments rest
ing on impervious bedrock is believ-
ed to be easily available for irriga-
ton. In Meadow valley an adequate
system of bitches should be provided.
and additional irrigation supplies
should be developed by pumping from
the drainage bitches or from wells.
Crops can then be raised that will be
more valuable than the wild grass
that now grows in much of the irriga-
bic part of the valley. In parts of the
Meadow valley canyon there are irri-
gable tracts underlain by gravel that
contains an underhow near enough
10 the surface to be proftably pump
ed for irrigation.
White River Drainage Basin
In the White River valley above
the Sink conditions are favorable
for obtaining ground water supplies
which in part could be recovered for
irrigation In Pahranagat valley the
problem is one Of drainage rather
than OF irrigation. and the develop.
ments should be similar to those rec
commended for Meadow valley. The
land should be drained and If the
springs do not yield enough water to
irrigate the entire valley. additional
supplies can be obtained at moder-
ate cost by pumping. In Pahroc val

Government Points Out Places
Where Water Can Be Developed

OF at least small amounts of ground
water.
Muddy and Virgin Valleys
In Muddy valley ground water lies
near enough to the surface to be prof
itably pumped for irrigation, but D
occurs in quicksand that does not
give up its supply readily. Gravel
screens such as are used in Mesiila
valley, New Mexico. are recommend
ed for trial here
Great Basin
In Bristol, Delamar, Coal and Gar
den valleys conditions are not favor
alce for finding much ground water.
In Indian Spring valley water can be
obtained for irrigation by pumping
near the south end but probably not
from flowing wells.
Las Vegas Valley
In Las Vegas valley there are sew
enty-fve flowing wells ranging from
$50 to 1,l50 feet in depth. TfE flow
of those measured ranged from 10 to
OILS gallons a minute Decrease in
natural flow is ascribed chiefly to inn
proper casing. Pumping is believes j
to offer better prospects than artesian
wells.
