We have in the United States two exam
pies of Spanish colonial architecture, although
they bear no comparison to those of Mexico
in size or wealth of decoration. The earlier
is that at st. Augustine. Fla, founded in 1852.
It was partially destroyed by fire in 1887 but
has been carefully restored so as to preserve
the original style, and its ancient bells rehung
The second is that of New Orleans, which,
while it occupies the site of two previous
French edifces one destroyed by hurricane
in 1928, the other by fire in 1888, was rebuilt
in 1874 at the entire charge of Spanish noble
man resident in the city while the colony was
under the dominion of Charles w. Of spain.
This is the statement inscribed on his tomb
before the altar of St. Francis and mass for

theless, the cathedral is dedicated to St. Louis,
patron saint of France, and the recent decora-

was Of the late heavy Spanish renaissance
style, with three round towers, upon which
steeples were raised in 1851 and the facade
fronting Jackson square, enlarged and i'm

OF the widest diversity Of occupation
and the rounding out Of an establish.
ment practically complete in itself,
writes F. H. Newell. in Campbell's
Scientific Farmer. The irrigated land
is capable of producing each year one
or more good crops which can be
counted on with almost mathematical
precision. Where the climate Is favor
able. fruit trees, berries, bushes and
garden vegetables flourish, and shade
| trees or flowers are possible for the
beautifying of the home.

ceptionally dry seasons or by reason
Of hot winds these crops are not sue
cessful, the irrigated land tides over
temporary depressions until there
comes favorable year when the
crops will repay the labor lost during
the lean years. The dry farming land
also serves useful purpose from
time to time for home range for the
cattle. and II the farm extends up in.
to the foothills to the summer grazing
lands the cycle of opportunity is COM
plete.
From the irrigated area there can
always be had green fodder for the
cattle and hay can be cut for feed
ing during severe winters. This ideal
arrangement has been possible for
realization In a few instances on rec
lamation projects where the farms
could be arranged in such manner
that 40 acres or more lie under q Ca
nal with the remainder extending
above the ditch. Attempts have been
made also to secure legislation by
which the owner Of 40 or so acres
within the irrigated tract could obtain
title to large area of dry land near
the project. The suggestion has also
been considered Of endeavoring to
segregate the dry lands which sur
round the reclamation project. making
these available for the use Of the en-.
tire community as Il general grazing
ground or home range to be cared for
