Expert Opinion on
Otero Ditch Water
supply

''in my opinion." says Mr.. Geo.
c. Anderson. "ths otsre Canal. re-
inforeed BY the Clear Creek rsssr-
voir, will furnish ample water to
fully irrisats the 10000 acres Of
land In the otsro District"
Mr.. Anderson 10 one Of the fore
most irrigation engineers in the
United States, and his opinion will
be accepted BY every person who has
the welfare Of La Junta at heart un.
I'll experience shall have demonstrat.
ed even a partial deficiency Of water
supply.
The canal has never before had the
benefit Of a storage system, and the
average person has no conception
either Of the greatness Of the Clear
Creek reservoir or Of the value Of
storage water. Il Is entirely with
in the knowledge and Judgment Of
competent engineers.
La Junta tribune., 1909-03-06
The Great Clear

euaeinss Of the stream maintained
by my assistant in charge Of the
construction. The winter flow Of the
stream, from November list to April
1st. inclusive, as shown on the state
mont. is about the normal flow for
that season. For the balance Of the
season the run-off shown in the state
mont 10 above normal; that 10 to
say, the flow Of 1907 was higher
than usual, nearly twice as much
as for this year so far. though this
year is undoubtedly above normal.
Ny Judgment 10 that the normal win
ter flow will fiji the reservoir. The
water stored during that period would
be available fer the early supply to
the Canal System during the month
Of May, and the reservoir could
again be filled during the months Ct
June and July for use In the later
months Of the irrigation season, Au-
gust and September.
Third attach copy Of the Head
gate Keepers record Of the flow Of
water in the canal system during
1907 and 1908. which, in conjunction
with the flow Of Clear Creek, gives
the best idea Of the assistance the
reservoir will be to the canal sys-
tenn. For instance, in 1907 the
canal got no direct supply from the
river in April, and for only six days
in May. Had the reservoir been
completed, the stored water would
have given the 10000 acres under
the canal system = supply Of prae-
ticaIiy one-haif acre foot per acre
in these months, six inches In depth
over the whole area. The reservoir
would again have been filled in
June and July and supplied the whole
area with another one-half acre foot
per acre In August and September,
when the canal only got water d.
reetiy from the river four and one
and one-haf days respectively. In
other words, In addition 10 any water
obtained directly from the river, the
reservoir would ordinarily supply one
acre foot per acre for the total area,

and that at seasons Of the year
when II was most required for the
most profitable character Of crops.
may add that Il 10 my opinion
that the reservoir will be complet.
ed this year, a. ! have made ar.
engagements with the contractors to
expedite the work. having purchas-
ed another steam shovel and quad.
rupied the force at work. In any
event the construction, without any
question, will be sufficiently far ad.
sanced to permit the storage Of the
winter flow, any uneompleted work
being cared for In the spring Of 1909,
before the period Of high water.
will state further, that In my
opinion the otero Canal, reinforced
by the Clear Creek Reservoir, will
furnish ample water to fully irrI-
gate the 10000 acres Of land in tho
otero District.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE G. ANDERSON.

THE OPINION OF AN EXPERT
POULTRY BREEDER.

Poultry breeders who have gained

stock either for exhibition or for gen
eR purposes are the ones whose ex-
ample is well worth following. c. A.
Browning of Apponaug, r. l.. is such Il
one, and what he says about poultry
food is therefore of especial interest
and value. He says. in a recent letter:

1t when they are growing; pullets need
1t when they are laying, and later, dur

help"

might beat them both for style, action
and spirit.
The colts from the Harrison Chief
mares are very fine, large colts and very
promising, particularly Harrison Gates,
by Gen. Gates, from Mrs. Culver. He
is beauty and has finish and substance.
On the whole we were very much inn
pressed with the horses and their manners
and condition.
We were shown a great nice black
mare sent to breed to Gen. Gates, and
she was apparently safe in foal. She
was the property of Mr.. j. w. McCanna
of Boston. She ought to throw a great
colt. There was also beautiful bay
mare by AshIey's Ethan Allen, there to
be bred to Gen. Gates. She is the prop
erty of Mr.. Stillman, New York.
