The most convincing test of the
value of farm lands In Diamond VAL
ley for raising all varieties of garden
vegetables is now being conducted on
the Sadler ranch, 33 miles north of
Eureka, on the west side of the val
ley.
w. H. Shirley leased ten acres of
the ranch last Spring to be devoted
to truck gardening. believing at the
time that soil and water conditions
were promising, and that a fair sized
parcel Of land would return good
profits IL first properly prepared, and
the vegetables carefully cultivated
from their appearance above ground
until ready to harvest. That he sized
up the situation correctly will be seen
by every visitor to the ranch.
The soil is a heavy sandy loan.

slope that could not be improved upon
for irrigating waters. Above this
land were springs of warm water that
yielded flow sufficient for all needs.
With deep plowing and some burrows

tions Of the tract. everything was
ready for seeding.

no worms or slugs are to be found in
the whole lot. The remaining three
acres is planted to beets, carrots, on

all of which are growing finely. The
onions especially, have a remarkable
flavor and size. The corn and toma-
toes are maturing rapidly, and will
be ready before frost hits the valley
Shirley attributes much of his sue
cess to thorough intensive cultiva-
tion, pulverizing the surface soil to
depth Of two or more inches so that

irrigation of his land this year.

Chicago. Omaha. Cheyenne. Salt Lake
City, Reno and San Francisco.
The trip not only is expected to
make possible the establishment In
September of regular aerial mail SER
vice from coast to coast but also to
yield information of value to the War
Department.
Regarding this proposed extension
to the Pacific Coast of the air mail
route. which now ends at Omaha.
Maj. L. B. Lent. general superinten-
dent of the air mail service, said:
'The through service, which will
be started In September, will cut In
half the present five-day letter time
to San Francisco. At the start. the
New York-Omaha end of the run will
be covered by all-metal planes and
the western half by De Havilands. As
soon as we are able, we plan to put
the all-metal saonoplanes on the en-
tire run from coast to coast"

AERIAL MAIL SERVICE
COMING TO EUREKA
Government Investigating Mail
Routes With View of Using
Airplanes For Delivery. Eu-
reka to Elko Route Planned.

An investigation into the possibil-
ities of aerial mail service is under
way In many parts of the United
States, and Nevada is one of the
States favorably considered by the
Postal Department. Only a very few
years ago. when automobiles were
first being. used to carry passengers
over various stage routes, there was
a ruling of the Postmaster General
that no mail matter could be carried
in them on account of the danger of
fire, and the probability that they
would break down on the journey
with no chance of repairs. The rap
idity with which nearly all stage lines
were equipped with motor cars to re-
place horses was part of the early
history of the automobile industry.
Aerial transportation of mails is now
an established service on many routes
in the country, and in a very short
time will be widely extended. The
Government, by this mode of postal
delivery, is not only promoting gen.
eral business, but is assisting enor-
mously the advancement of knowl-
edge of air craft and their successful
use under all conditions, that is of in
calculable benefit.

Inc EikO Independent says. I'M
provement in the mail service OF the
county, with Elko, the county seat, as
the point of distribution for the en-
tire county, is seen in the announce
ment of the Postoffice Department at
Washington that it has been decided
by the department to largely extend
the aerial mail service by seeking bids
from airplane companies throughout
the country for the operation of
branch lines from the trans-continen-
tai service of the Government, on
which line Elko will be base of fuel
supply.
1t is understood that Lieutenant
Ira Fuller. an aviator who has the en-
dorsement of Governor Boyle, will
soon be in Elko to fly over the sur
rounding country and see what its
possibilities are for aerial mail SER
vice. AS 1t is now there are towns
less than rs miles from Elko in this
county that it takes mail more than
three days to reach. This Is true of
the Contact mining district, Jarbidge,
San Jacinto and O'Neil.
Mail for these towns must now go
to Ogden, thence to Rogerson, Idaho,
and then by stage to the towns men,
toned. An aeroplane could make
the trip from Elko to Jarbidge, via
Contact, in less than an hour and a
half. and on the return route could
serve Charleston, North Fork and
Midas. Charleston gets mail twice
week now, North Fork three times,
Midas three times, and neither Midas
nor Charleston mail is sent direct
from the county seat.
The country between Eureka and
Elko would also get daily service.
AT present mail for Eureka is carried
by rail from Palisade three times a
week. 1t is believed that there is
enough traffic both north and south
of Elko to make the county seat the
center of distribution for a passenger
carrying mail aeroplane that could
carry two or three passengers and all
the mail at very low cost. At the
same time it would mean improved
service for the towns and more busi-
ness for Elko.
