making this type OF alfalfa better ad-
apted to shallow soil. or soil with
ground water near the surface.
They are also better for dry land con-
dtions. where the root development
must be necessarily near the surface

The trip to tie intake of the water
system Tuesday proved one of con-
siderable interest. Commissioner We'd.
der arrived from Grand Junction Tues
day, accompanied by his son, and both
made the inspection trip with the city
commissioners of Delta and members
of their advisory board.
From the intake pipe at the reser-
voir they continued on horseback to
Dirty George. or Upper Tongue Creek
With this creek as a source of water
supply, Mr.. Vedder was particularly
well pleased. Il have visited most OF
the water supply sources of the west,
and have never seen its equal as a
spring stream for flow and purity"
is what he said of 1t.
Speaking of the Delta system Mr..
vedder remarked. You appear to have
a plant without a system, made up Of
all sizes and all but the good quality
Of pipe"
Mr.. Vedder supervised construction
OF the new water system in Grand
Junction and dwelt at some length
upon its projections. a narration OF
which would crowd this papers clos
ing-time space.
The fact has been apparent to the
thinking people of Delta for some time
that something would or should be
done to better our water works, and
that something when undertaken,
would prove expensive.
At present no estimate Is at hand
as to the approximate cost of renew
ing and perfecting our system.
The fact remains. however. that tine
city is paying as much or more for
pumping and repairs as the interest
would amount to on 100000 of bonds
and that we get but very unsatisfac
tory service at that, especially through
part OF the year.
Grand Junction has about double the
valuation in property assessable com
pared with Delta, and has n water
bond indebtedness OF $630.000, against
$165 900 in Delta.
