 As consequence of this great en - gineering accomplishment. the former desert valley of the Salt River ha $ become local agricultural center. producing sil manner fruit and garden truck. as well as the great agricultural staples. and especially long fiber Egyptian cotton. for the latter is being cultivated under climatic and soil con- Iitions similar to those prevailing in the valley of the Nile. The stored waters in these dams are used to de- velop electric power. which Is sold 10 the surrounding country for com mercial and industrial purposes.
 Tn 1915 the total value of the agri- cultural products or the land irrigated by this project was S3.700. 900. Recently there was completed an even larger dam at Elephant Butte, near Eagle, New Mexico. Ii impounds the flood waters of tie Ric Grande and has greater storage capacity than the great Assouar dam on the Nile. The actual application of water to the lanu is usually done by means of main canals or ditches. which convey the principal source of supply to the grow ing crops through smaller lateral ditches Tn some cases, the land is completely flooded. in others. the water IS distributed by means of furrows

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Nov. 2S- Practically all agricultural products can he grown more successfully on irrigated lands than on those which are not irrigated. More than that. the average production per acre on irrigated lands of almost every agri cultural product exceeds that of non- irrigated lands by from ten to fifty per cent, according to the nature of the product
 This is reported by the committee on statistics and standards of the chamber of commerce of the United States. According to the Committee. of which A. W. Douglas Of St. Louis. is the chairman. irrigation is in fact the most intensive and highest known form of modern. scientific agriculture. The crops are practically assured. save In such contingencies as the damage that comes to fruit from frosts and freezing. There are no devasting droughts nor destructive rainfalls to contend with as in humid lands. lt is even asserted there are fewer insect enemies as a whole, because. 1t is said. the surrounding desert offers no har- DOT of refuge nor breeding place for such pests.

oner should have every opportunity
to clear himself. 1t was not within
the province of the court to determine
which witness was or was not telling
the truth, or whether the man was
guilty; that was for the jury to decide.
Since the conviction, new evidence
had come to light which it had been
impossible for the prisoner to adj
vance earlier in the trial; and in
view of its possible importance, it
was necessary for jury to determine
whether BERTHE Munday had written
the bottle note, and its bearing on
the case.
Attorneys for the defense prayed
that their client be admitted to bail,
but it was not granted.
Only a handful of people were in
the court room; and there were no
speeches. Fudge received the news
with his usual stolidity.

Fudge Granted New Trial
To Be Held In February

E. J. Fudge, recently convicted of
the murder of his two children, will
have another chance for life, Judge
Campbell having entertained the mo-
ton for new trial Friday morning.
The date set was the third Monday
IN February.
Nothing was said about change of
venue, and it is thought improbable
that the point will be urged, though
the defense has the right to make
such request at any time.
No Change of Venue.
Change of venue in Florida is said
to be very infrequent; it was not
given even in the case of the Roberts
boys, and the supreme court upheld
the denial.
Judge Campbell's reason for grant
ing the new trial was that the charge
was very grave one, and the pris-
