Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertis- ed for sprains and soreness, and she asked hin to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days.

ABOUT TIE COLORADO
Immense Possibilities of Land to be Irrigated by the Government.

Fl believe @ new form Of agrlcul- ture is about tospring into existence in southwestern Arizona. said J. Garrett Holmes, assistant in the bureau of soils, United States de- pastment of agriculture, to an Ex- press representative. "When the government dam has been complet- ed at Yuma and irri gation is well under way, we are going to see the conditions and crops of Egypt re- produced in the territory surround ing the junction of the Gila and the Colorado rivers. The reason is very simple. The Colorado river. like the Nile, carries down immense quantities Of fertile sediment. The most practical method of irrigation in that region will be to flood the land, and as a result the river sedi- ment will be deposited upon the soil to be cultivated. When this layer of sediment has lost its fertil- ity the farmer will merely turn the river loose once more. This is just what happens in Egypt, excepting that there the flood is an annual occurrence, resulting from natural causes, while in Arizona it will be brought about by the hand of man, and will be largely independent of times or seasons.
 ''As I said, the crops which can be best raised under this method of irrigation will be those which are cultivated in Egypt. Cotton is an important one among these, but there are many others, It seems queer, I know, to talk of cotton raising in Arizona, but I believe we will see it an accomplished fact be- fore many years. In addition citrus fruits should flourish here.
 "Just at present the bureau of soils is carrying on it's work in a territory of about 2SO square miles in the immediate vicinity of the Yuma dam. Of course great deal more land than that will be affected by the construction of the dam, and I believe it to be the ultimate inten- tion of the government to supply water to all the territory between Yuma and the Needles. The soil is remarkable we'll adapted to agricul- ture of the sort I mentioned. Of course, there is considerable amount of alkali in the ground, but in this case we find that it is re- moved in the process of irrigation. The only unfortunate thing about it all is that the best lands lie just south of the border line in Mexico and cannot be touched by American farmers or by our irrigation system. Il. A. Express.
