EXPERT AIDS THE
DEL RIO RANCHERS
w. L. Rockwell Finds. Too
Much Water Is Being
Turned onto Land.

Del Rio. Tex, Jan. I3.-w. L. Rock
| well, irrigation engineer of the de-
: partment of agriculture of the United
! States, who is in charge of the irriga-
| ton Investigations in Texas, with head
quarters at San Antonio has been in
Del Rio several days, coming at the re-
quest and solicitation Of the CONNER
cial club.
In company with secretary Fred L
J Meyers he visited numerous truck and
| fruit growers in this valley, pointing
out where better methods could be
used and where more frequent cultiva-
| ton would improve certain tracts The
tendency in this section has always
| been to use entirely too much water and
water has been turned onto land where
cultivation, instead, was needed.
Mr.. Rockwell answered hundreds of
questions put TO him by growers who
had problems they could not solve and
the visit. from Del Rios standpoint,
will prove very productive OF better
cultural methods and higher appre
citation of the use of water. Mr.. Rock
well also visited the country east of
Del Rio where wells are used entirely
for irrigation.
When this trip was completed he
said: About Del Rio the soil is light
silly clay underlaid with a yellowish
formation Of much the same sort. On
account of the tendency of this soil to
bake the surface should be very thor
oughly prepared for the water and so
laid out that cultivation may quickly
follow irrigation. The water supply is
of excellent quality. With ordinary
careful economic use at least double
the acreage now covered may be sup
piled.
THE indications are that this acreage
may be somewhat increased by the de-
velopment of water from wells. When
a supply of so or more gallons per
minute can be obtained at depth of
not exceeding 100 tsst it may be made
profitable in the production of fruit and
vegetables

Mexican at Globe Makes a
Confession and Causes
Arrest Of Business
Man.

Globe, Ariz., Jan. 13.-Rather than
face the immigration service on a
charge of having imported women to
this country for immoral purposes,
contrary to the laws of the United
States, Gregorio Vetrano made part
confession to the authorities OF this
city, they say, to the effect that
he was hired by Karl kreely
to set fire to the latter's place of bust
ness year ago. Kreely. it is said,
owned small store in North Globe on
which he carried insurance amounting
to several thousand dollars and at the
time the fire broke out had only about
$500 worth of stock IN the building.
After falling TO produce sufficient evil
dence to convict Kreely, he was allowed
his freedom.
Netrano was arrested last evening
upon advice from the immigrat ton SER
vice at Tucson and it is thought that
this is the reason he made the state
ment that he did to the authorities.
hreely was arrested at Miami and
LOGGED In jail, charged for the second
Tune with having been the cause of the
burning of his own place of business.
