Pink beans averaged 81 and 100 pounds
per acre respectively under similar con-
ditions. These yields certainly give
this new crop an enVIable place among
the dry farming crops of the world.
Differs From other Beans.
The plant is entirely different from
the common cultivated varieties Of
beans The chief differences appearing
to the layman are a small Wiry vine
and long narrow leaflets. The bOtanist
finds other differences which need not
be discussed here. Professor G. F.
Freeman of the Arizona Experiment
station who began Investigations with
this bean in 1910 after the writer had
grown 1t one year by dry farming
methods and director Forbes had dem
Onstrated its value as an irrigated crop
has written a botanical description Of
it in bulletin IS of the Arizona Expert
ment station. He Identifies IL as Phase
cIus acutifolius. described by Asa Gray
and suggests the name latifOlius for
the variety we have under cultivation.
The plant grows wild in mountain
valleys and canyons of southern Ari-
IONA and northern Mexico. and was no

ARIZONA COMPLETES WITH
WORLD IN FARM PRODUCTS


Prescott, Ariz.. Nov. 14-Arizona's
exhibit carried off over 40 world
awards for the excellence of dry farmed
products at Lethbridge, Alberta. Can
ada. at the International Dry Farming
congress.
The exhibition consisted of $50 en-
tries, gathered from the several cOun-
ties in the new state in which dry
farming is practica bic. The Arizona
car was shipped very early, owing to
the great distance from the exhibition
city and when it was unlOaded, more
than half of the exhibits were unfit for
competition, owing to sprouting and
mildeW.
Apples and peaches grown in Tava-
PAL county mountain orchards, at alu-
tudes aVer2 ging mile, won ten blue
ribbons in competition with the fruits
of the Wenatchee. Hood river. Spokane
and Yakima districts. The judges pro-
nOunced the fruit grown in the vi
cinity of this city as fine in flavor and
texture as any in the world.

such large quantities of water from th9
Roosevelt storage reservoir that the

as to be rendered absolutely harmless.
In many Of the wells the water Is found
TO be chemically pure and in those
cases it is put back upon the land, thus

In those districts where the wells are

Where the purity of the well water IS

That the water rises as a direct re-
suit of surface irrigation has been
demonstrated by borings made during
the present year and the water level
compared with the level found through
similar bOrings in 1905. In some cases
the water is found more than 20 feet
nearer the surface now, than it was
when the earlier bOrings We're made.
Five Big Pumps Operated
There are now I'VE Of the big cleo
trically driven pumps in operation
south Of Mesa Other wells are being
sunk and pumps installed as rapidly
as possible The cost of operation is
being carefully watched with a view
toward determining the feasibility of
extending the pumping service should
there be a demand for it. The power
which comes from the Roosevelt dam
is being charged against the pumps at
the regular market price, that is, the
price at which power is being fur
nished to power users in Phoenix,
Mesa, Tempe or Miami. It has been
found that it has cost S1.12 6-1O to lift
and deliver an acre foot of water.
This is not regarded as a prohibitiYe
price, but it is . 6-10 cents more for one
acre pumped than for two acre feet
delivered by gravity from the big dam.
The pumping cost quoted above is
based upon an average lift of 43 feet.
The pumping plants and power houses
are costing an average Of $4,000 each.

FARMING
TOO MUCH WATER IS PROVING
HANDICAP TO SALT RIVER FARMS
Rising Of Water Too Close to the Surface Injuries Lands
and Efforts Are Made by the Reclamation servicetO
Overcome the Defect by Sinking Wells and In
stalling Pumps at Several Points in Valley.
By George H. CIements)

Phoenix Ariz.. Nov. 14.-Farmers of
the Salt river valley are just waking
up to the fact that there is y posi-
bility that too much water can be used
for irrigation purposes and that land
may be spoiled thereby.
When the reclamation service, a few
months ago, brought out a new form
of contract virtually prescribing that
but two feet of water per year should
be used where five feet (acre feet, had
hitherto been used, the water using
farmers under the Roosevelt project
swear by, that they would not stand
for il. They insisted that the water
was theirs and that they would use all
they wanted TO use. 1t was explained
ment was to prevent the spelling Of the
land through the use of too much
water, but they then could not see it
that way. They held that the water
was theirs. the land was theirs and
that if they saw fit to spoil the one by
the too Tree use OF the other, 1t was
their business and the government
through the reclamation service, had
no right TO interfere
The controversy had the effect Of
causing many OF the water users to
suit that they are better Informed now
than they were, and they have come
TO a realizing sense OF the danger that
threatens this great valley unless the
tailed or a system of drainage devised
which viii carry of the excess and pre-
vent the underflOW from rising so close
to the surface that the hitherto pro-
ductive soil will become "alkalied' and
as barren as before the water was
applied.
Lands DeteriOrate.
Already there are great tracts Of
land in the valley which are showing
signs of deterioration and investigation
has shown that in some cases the
water has risen to within four feet OF
the surface, in many cases. That is
regarded as too close for safety and
the problem now is to lower the water
table, as it is called The reclamation
service is sinking many wells in the
territory south Of Mesa and establish
ing pumping stations for the purpose
of lifting the water back to the sur
face, to be used over again for irTiga-
ton purposes The pumps are OF the
very latest pattern, are electrically
driven, the power being supplied from
the Roosevelt dam, and capable of
lifting millions OF gallons Of water to
the surface every day.
If the water thus lifted is found to
carry deleteriOus salts in such Quanti-
ties as to render it unfit for irrigation
purposes, it is not permitted to run

Prospects Favor Establish

Around Tucumcari

Tucumcarif n N, Nov 14.-This week
marked another step in the solution
OF the question Of farming and dairying
in this section of the country. when
Berry brothers OF the Tucumcari jersey
dairy, and Hamiltons Sunshine dairy
opened up silOs at their diaries for win
ter feed for their herds The Berry
SilO. which measures 80 by u - feet,
ground and half out, holds approx
mately 80 tons Of green feed The
feed was bought this fail from the
farm of Joseph Israel at the north
limit OF Tucumcari and was raised by
Z. B. Shipman This siIO is believed to
be the first SilO ever constructed in the
state of New Mexico, having been be
sun about a year ago and packed for
the first time the past summer.
The Hamilton silo IS a stave silO
above ground, measures 80 by 10 feet
inside 1t is packed with green S1lage
raised in part on the Hamilton farm
and partly purchased throughout this
part Of the county.
Since the Berry silO was constructed,
a number OF other silos have been con-
sCructed over Quay county the largest
possibly being that of the government
at the experiment station east of town.
In view OF the success which the others
have had in the work, it is estimated
that the next year VIII see ar leaSl q
score more silOs built in this county.

by which the Blue and Gray goal shoot

to 81. Georgetown played many of it's
substitute men in the contest, as some
of the regulars were not sufficiently re-
covered from the morning game with
Navy to appear in the second game.
Shugrue performed at right forward
for the Hilltoppers, and his Caging of
the ball was one OF the features of the
contest. Georgetown finished the first
period with a slight margin ahead of
the visitors. The second half was more
rapidly played than the initial period,
the visitors having become familiar
with the floor Brenner and Shaub for
Franklin and Marshall did good work
in this period, having tossed many spec
tacular goals. Shaub tossed five free
baskets on fouls committed by George

score about five minutes before the end
of the game, but the Hilltoppers sue
ceeded in scoring another basket before

fight for the honors. Jones will start
from scratch, the two Baltimore men
leaving at least twenty yards ahead of
him.
At the John Hopkins meet Lee nego-

of a second slower than Jones recent
mark at the b. A. A. games in Boston.
Bacon was close second to Lee In this
race and ii is believed that, with a

a scrap for the honors.
Princeton will have Koehler, Don,

mile, and Yale and Pennsylvania may
have one or two men in the event.
