San Lui. Valley wells.

Under the direction OF Sir. y. II.
barton Of the United States Geological
Survey. Mr. c. T.. Sicbcnihai has re-
Gently Investigated the subject OF ar
tssian wells In the San Luis valley.
Colorado. The valley itself IL tho site
of n PlcIs,ocrnsc lake and II is In the
aitrrnatin. sand and clay deposits OF
the old lake tha, the water II found.
The nrt-sian basin. which II oval In
shape. lies In the northern portion OF
the valley and covers an area OF about
I 800 square miles. Flowing water IA
found at depths of from sixty TO loo
feet around the margin OF the basin
and at somewhat greater depth nearer
the middle Of the basin. Along the
irarsin wells can usually not be sunk
more than 200 feet because Of the
gravel. but in the middle Of the basin
several wells record 1000 feet. finding
flows Of different capacity at shore in-
tcrvais throughout their whole depth.
The total number Of wells located In
the basin is about $500. The water
fiom these wells II clear. pure and
t.s,cicss. Ordinarily II contains not
over fifteen grains Of solid matter To
n gallon. with maximum OF hftJ or
sixty grains. fta excellent quality
makes this water an especial boon to
the people OF the valley. as II Is de-
sired manly for domestic uses. II Is
also employed to some extent In ir-
r!gation. probably one nth Of the wells
being used for that purpose. As
means of watering truck gardens and
supplying reserve water storage for
stock. these artcsian wells are simply
invaluable TO the settlers in this re-

THE FARM AND RANGE
Colorado Rubber Plant.

For the past four months. says tn.
Salida correspondent OF the Denver
News, A. A. Woods. proprietor OF tho
Salida greenhouses. has been conduct
Ing a series OF experiments. which. he
claims. have proved conclusively that
the Colorado rubber plant can be sue
cessfully grown from the seed, and
greatly improved by cultivation. Mr..
Woods is botanist and florist Of emf
nent ability. and has taken the deepest
interest In the rubber plant since Its
discovery last GUNNER.
On January 9Th last Mr.. Woods
planted a quantity OF seeds from the
plant. In fifteen days the tender
plants sprang up. and began a rapid
growth, Thirty-hve days later tFeb-
ruary l5th). he planted more seeds.
which germinated in seven days. show
Ing plainly the effect OF warmer wealth
ci on the seeds. At the same time he
extracted numser OF the roots OF
grown plants from the frozen ground
and transplanted them In the hothouse.
Within nve days tender shoots and
green leaves were springin. from the
roots.
Mr.. Woods has been appointed by the
Saiidn Board Of Trade to conduct cx-
tehsivc experiments. using quarter
acre OF ground for the purpose. In
giving n statement for the News. Mr.
Woods said his experiments had csiab-
iishcd the following hitherto unknown
facts concerning the rubber plant:
First-it grows from the saed and
can be trnnspianted like garden vese-
tables.
Sccond-it In greatly improved by
cultivation. and the yield OF rubber in-
creased.
Third-Thc quality OF soil on which
tho native weed grows does not affect
III. quantity or quality Of rubber tho
root contains.
fourth-Thc plant requires two
years growth before rubber OF good
quality can bc, obtained. Thrcc-ycar-
old plants are better.
fifth-rbc average age OF the plant
growing Wild IL four years.
Sixth-Thc plant can bc successfully
grown In the lower an well aS the high
or attitudes.
In order to get the best results from
cultivation. Mr.. Woods says. the seed
should be Sowa In drills eighteen
inches apart. when tho plants have
sprung up they should be thinned out
two inches apart. thus giving tho roots
plenty Of room.

For years the iiockmastcrs of New
Mexico have been searching high and
low to secure more water for their
Hocks on the high plateaus which
abound so commonly throughout that
country. The very finest grass grows
on some of these mesas and this is be-
ing utilized by the drilling of wells 300
or 400 feet deep from which water Is
pumped by windmills or gasoline en-
rinps. We know one firm that has put

Field and Farm.
A correspondent of Field and Farm
who has been looking around on the
western slope makes the observation
that alfalfa on the bottom lands. where
IL has had plenty Of moisture all winter
is making much earlier growth and
shows greater vigor than that on the
uplands which has lain without irriga-
ton since last fall. Even where water
has been applied during the last month
the alfalfa is not making the same
start as on the ground where 1t has
not been allowed to dry out during the
winter. Winter irrigation is not con-
sidered practicable to any great extent
In that section on account of the long,
small laterals on the high mesa lands.
