than to the region in question-at least, in as much of it as visited this trip. The conditions with respect to the date palm are almost identical with those that prevail at the head of the Persian Gull, whence most of the dates con sumed in this country are imported. It could surely be made profitable indus try in the Colorado Delta, supplying a market that is now supplied entirely from abroad. Tue Department of Agri- culture is now engaged in making inter- esting tests in the line of date palm cul- ture in the American southwest, the re- suits of which will be one of great bene- fit tO those who may undertake the pro- duction of dates in the ideal conditions of the Colorado Delta.
 "The general agricultural oppOrtuni- ties of the delta region are great, also. For general farming and stock raising the lands below the boundary line are unsurpassed-or could easily be made SO by the development of an irrigation system. Much can be produced simply from the annual overflow, but for all- year crops an adequate irrigation sys- tenn is necessary.
 "I am convinced that Egyptian cot ton would be profitable crop there, provided water were provided. There is much land that visited just below the boundary with little or no alkali, while more alkali is found on the lands farther north.
 "The primitive but abundant crops the Indians raise from the overflow of the river show the tremendous fertility of the region. The Colorado Delta should support an immense popula- tion.
 "The summer climate is not insuffer- able, as many suppose. During last July and Angus, tten miles back from the gulf, the thermometer went above 100 deg only once. It is not so hot as at Imperial The region compares fa- vorably with the Nile Delta in all re- spects; it is smaller than the Nile Delta, but governed by the same con ditions, and the same profits that are made from the Nile lands can be made here"

J. B. Lippincott of th;s city, supervis- ing engineer of the government arid land reclamation service, tn charge of the irrigation experiments along the Colorado river, iias jus, returned from trip through the Imperial valley and down beyond tie international bound ary line, among tl'e lands of the Colo rado Delta, to n point thirty miles t,.- low the moath of the Hardy.
 As United States engineer in charge of the reclamation service in this region, Mr. Lippincotts knowledge of tbe work, the character of the country and it's prospects is thorough. He is in a posi- tion to make A more careful and reliable analysis of the subject oi the reclama- tion to fruitful purposes of the great realm that lies dormant just beyond the reviviiying touch of the Colorado's flood than is any other man, so that what he says Is authoritative.
 Mir. Lippincott's entire attention at
 
 forth tlSe test possible results along the lines laid down by the Reclamation Act, nid,r which lac is conducting the Colo rado river experiments. In an inter view yesterday, he made the following interesting observations on the ubject in question:
 "The United States Reclamation Ser vice is just closing its field season of en- gineering go.k along the Colorado river. The entire district extending from the Grand Canyon io the Mexican line has been investigated. All lands lying immediately adjacent to the Colo Tado river, and exclusive of all interior valleys, liare been withdrawn for irriga- ton purposes under the Reclamation Act. All damsites in this region have been examined for bedrock conditions with diamond core drills. These have heen found unfavorable for high dams, but during tl,c coming summer gen eral reconnaissance will be made through the upper basin of the Colorado river for damsitcs above the Grand Can yon, where the greater portion of the silt enters the stream. A number of suitable sites arc known to exist in this region. and they will probably be sur veyel during the coming season.
 "Thcir function would be to supple ! ment the August and September flow of the river. Their construction would ! only be necessary at some future date when diversions are greater than those now made and immediately contem- plated by the reclamation service.
 "The lands have been classified and their areas determined. These Colorado 1 river valley lands north of the boundary . line constitute some 100, 900 acres, ex- ] elusive oi all interior valleys. The . water supply is being carefully exam incd, measurements of the river being made daily. The chemical properties oi
