OUR PROJECT IS THE BEST
Following are Figures Which Con-
cisiveIy Prove 1t.

When the Uncompahgre Irriga-
ton Project is completed it will
furnish the people OF the Uncom-
pahgre valley as near perfect
water right as is possible to con-
ceive of. hhis is the conclusion
which has been reached by those
who have given the matter thought
full study.
This of course includes the en-
tire completion of the project in
Guiding the Taylor Park reservoir.
This is no guess work, but Is
based on knowledge as reliable as
scientific investigation of the sub
ject can make it.
For instance, from daily measur-
ments of the amount of water flow
ing in the Gunnison river at the
intake of the tunnel covering a
period of five years from 1905 to
1910 it is found that only on two
or three occasions, and that late
in the fall has the average flow
been less than the full capacity of
the tunnel. Remember this is
without the Taylor Park reservoir
which is considered will more than
iii any pOSolDie CouLiuseuCleS TedS-
enable to anticipate.
The exact figures as shown by
the figures compiled by the recla
nation service shows an average
flow in the Gunnison during
the five years mentioned as fol-
lows: April / to 10, $4,000 feet;
10 to 20. $500 feet; 20 to 80.
5000 feet; May 1 to 10, 400 feet:
10 to 20, $500 feet; 20 to 81.
5000 feet; June l to 10. 5000;
feet; 10 to 20, S4OO feet; 20 to 30.
5000 feet; July l to 10, $500 feet:
10 to 20, 1900 feet; 20 to 81, 240O
feet; August / to 10, 1900 feet;
10 to 20, 1900 feet: 20 to 80,
1900 feet; 10 to 20, 1850 feet; 20
to 80, 1900 feet; October 1 to 10.
1900 feet; 10 to 20. 100 feet;
90 to 81, 900 feet.
The capacity of the tunnel Is
1900 feet and it will be seen that
only once up to the latter part of
September does the average go
below the capacity of the tun-
mel, that being the last ten days
in August when it goes down to
14OO feet but goes back to 1900
feet in the next ten days. The dam
across the Gunnison at the in
take of the tunnel makes it posi-
BILE to take the full Gunnison flow
If necessary.

cost the Uncompahgre project

parison with the other projects of
the state both under the manage

There will always be those to
mourn when they find themselves
without a share in some good
thing that bobs up. One farmer
said the other day: Just my
luck. Potatoes are a success here
this year and are going to bring high
prices, and l only planted enough
for my own USE" The best way to
guard against that kind of hard
luck is to keep in view the advant-
ages of diversified farming. There
are a number of products which cal
be grown always to profit in our
soils. Some one of them may find
a low market one year and high
one the next. Two years ago po-
tatoes were so cheap that they
could scarsely be sold at any price
In the spring, and to that cause
more than to any other was due
the large acreage planted last year.
The seed potatoes were on hand to
plant or feed to stock. But it all
came out right, for the potatoes
raised last year brought good prices
and paid better than any other crop,
and this year, because of failure
of the potato crop over several ad-
joining states, those raised here
promise to pay still bigger divi-
dends. The same reasoning proves
good with other crops. If the farm
er plants several, as every farmer
can, he will reap a profit from some
ii not all of them. Cantaloupes pay
we'll garden stuffs pay well; GER
tain root crops grow into immense
feed output; few hogs can be
raised at high profit. Then there
are the fruit crops. The apple and
other orchards come in every few
years for a bonanza crop and good
market. Berry patches yield fine
incomes. Delta has been shipping
berries in from the outsire for her
home consumers for the past ten
days, and strawberries from such
near points as Montrose, while there
are acres and acres of good berry
ground lying uncultivated. 1t all
looks like a shame; like our own
people were improvident.
