T,e General Benefits Arising From the Fullest Practicable Use of

The larger the use of the available water supply, the smaller is the cost per acre of the service. The greater the area of the land irrigated the smaller is the propOrtionate cost of the project to the land owners We have the canals. the water and the operating force. Under these condi- tions it costs no more to run canal full than half full and the value of the service is twice as great Another consideration. of some inn pOrtance. the larger the volume. the sWifter the current, therefore, less liability to deposit silt in a full channel.

FLOOD COMMITTEE
 MAKES REPORT 0N
 CONDITIONS HERE
Exhaustive Report Made on Reasons For Floods of Past Few Months
 in the Valley

The committee appointed to look into flood conditions in the valley. have made the following interesting report.
 Report of Committee Appointed to
 Study Flood Water
 Since the reservoir dam was com pleted, a large per cent of the flood water comes from the Verde river and comes loaded with silt Damage to crops may result from this silt Grain or alfalfa may be smothered if heavily irrigated when very young so as to prevent the ground taking water readily. In that case the use of a harrow of some sort is necessary to break up the crust.
 Silt in the ditches. This occurs in the case of very few laterals in this valley and only where the ground is quite flat or where ditches are foul mirable arrangement of gates in the Granite Reef diversion dam prevents the heavy materials, sand and gravel, from entering the canals during flood. This heavy stuff passes through low gates and down the river, while the top of the flood only is taken into the canals through the upper gates. The ordinary current in the canals and ditches is sufficient to carry in suspension this lighter material until 1t passes out upon the land.

perial Valley. where the amount of salts on the soil and in the soil was
 so great that a circular was issued by the government warning settlers against attempting to use the land. In spite of the warning, however, the land was taken up and it has been made fertile and now produces fine crops. This result was due to i the free use of the Colorado River flood water.
 Fertilizer in Flood Water Demonstration hy the Department of Agriculture with Verde flood water
 shows q value when copiously used, compared with average price of com
 mercial fertilizers of s2.75 per- acre.
 In the Imperial Valley the estimate is
 8 per acre. This is of enormous
 aggregate value. It amounts to about twice the present cost of irriga tion water No soil will continue indefi-
 nitely to produce without fertiizing.
 The elements taken by the crop must be returned in some way. Here is
 hy-prOduct of immense value and it
 costs nothing and if used to the
 fullest extent practicable will not only perpetuate the fertility. of the
 soil but actually increase it. The
 Nile and other well known valleys
 are examples. The fertilizer in flood
 water is in the lighter materials we
 call silt fine particles of soil and decomposed animal and vegeta ble

 A letter from Colonel H. Herwarth, ot the general staff, dated Berlin,
 March 10, 1915, says:

Benefits

Flood water is now cheaper one half price. And when used in the winter time, when most of the floods occur, it will go farther: there is less evaporation by reason of lower tenn perature and at this season most crops and all land to be planted later can be copiously irrigated without damage.
 Flood water is chemically pure: contains little or no deleterious salts of any kind and its use is especially valuable in case of alkali land. If flooded, it will wash the alkali and other injurious salts readily from the surface and will also carry what is under the surface down into the lower soil and, if enough water is ap- piled, will wash the stuff through and out of the soil altogether. pro- vided there is good drainage This was notably demonstrated in the Inn

Admiral von HintZe was not quite right in his estimate of him. for Huer- ta can scarcely be such drunken l luffian as Non Hintze so often i'm 1 plies. if only because chronic drunk i ard could hardly have kept so uncer- , tain a position under such uncom- | inonly difficult circumstances.

The Man From Home" The timely American play has made a decided hit with the theatergoers for while it does not deal with the current European situ atiOn. it shows in a startling way how one red -blooded American in the person of Daniel Vorhees Pike, the hoosier lawyer matches his wits and strength against a score of foreign imposters who have planned to rob his wards of their inheritance
