The work on this stu
pendous government structure is being
pushed forward with all practicable
haste. 1t is believed that in less than
two years from to-day the water from
the reservoir will be flowing into the
canal of the Salt River Valley. In
much less time than that the govern
ment will be furnishing electric power
for running the pumping plants of the
farmers in the valley and furnishing
electric power for all the purposes for
which power from this source can be
used.
SMALL GARDEN FARM TRACTS
More than a year ago Mr.. Maxwell
conceived the idea that the highest and
best use to which the lands under this
great government irrigation system
could be devoted was that they should
be Subdivided into small tracts for
garden farming, berry culture and the
growing of small fruits, melons, and
other products of intensive cultivation.
The raising of poultry i'll all its
branches would of course be one of
the most profitable adiuncts of these
intensiyely cultivated garden farms.
In the past this character of land cul-
ture has not been practicable in the
Salt River Valley because of the fact
that at the season of the year when
the water was most needed, there be-
ing no reservoir, the river was at its
lowest stage, and the supply of water
the shortest. All this will be changed
by the construction of the Tonic Basin
Reservoir.
Believing that the first practical
demonstration of the profits to be de-
rived from garden farms of this class
should be so organized as to embody
