J. e. Howell, who has dry rancn
. few miles southeast Of Spearllsh,
has made u great success with his
crops by constructing an Immense
storage reservoir. His dam is 800
yards long, sixteen feet high and
forty feet wide at the BOTTOM and

$500. Irrigation, however, has SO
increased his crops that he sold $500
worth OF alfalfa hay alone this year,
and his other crops were Zoe. The
aelghbors who made fun Of him for
building a reservoir are now envious
OF his better crops.
