Inc Roswell bench has had water
for the past ten years The Roswell
canal takes water out of the Boise
river near Caldwell at the point where
the electric road bridge crosses the
river. What has been accomplished
on the Roswell bench can with reason
be expected to be seen in time on the
broad fertile lands under the whole
reclamation project.
Roswell Park Project.
Leaving Mr.. Towards at a little
after 8 the party proceeded westward
to the great project being developed
by the Roswell Park Fruit company,
of which J. H. Lowell is the manager.
There is Zoo acres in this project, 400
acres of which is already set to or
chard. This project is three miles
west of Roswell. The water for this
project is siphoned from the govern
ment canal on the Wilder bench,
across a. fiat to a stand pipe on this
project The stand pipe diverts the
water to all4parts Of the 200 acres
The latest methods Of underground
laterals and pipes are used on this
tract! A boulevard with shade trees
runs around every 80-acre tract. In
time this project will be one of the
very prettiest show places in the val
ley. "a y
The DIXIE Cour+rv
From the Lowell project the auto
party took its return trip to Caldwell,
recrossing the Roswell bench and
then passing through the Dixie coun-
try which is from one to four miles
wide and IL miles long. The Dixie
country has number of good ranches
and is the Oldest settled district in
this section. Much of the land is low
and needs to be drained 1t is natural
white clover and blue grass district,
and is destined to become a great
dairy country.
q Caldwell4was reached at $50 O'Clock
and thus ended a remarkably iterest-
ing and instructive trip. A California
man in the party, who has been in
many parts of the great west, said: II
nave today seen the biggest alfalfa
and the best stands of red clover Il
ever saw il my life"
