Much of the big snow of last week
has melted and been absorbed by
Mother Earth. One of the valuable
things about nice snow like that is
that it melts from the bottom. conse'
Quently its melting is more gradual
and of more benefit. No finer thing
for the country could have come than
this big, wet snow. The severe snow
which usually follows such heavy
snow storms at this season of the
year. did not materialize. The days
have been pleasant and the night
temperature has not reached as low
as zero at Delta.

1.-THE dam reservoir are the largest
features Of very elaborate irrigation
system designated to water los, 200
acres of land embraced in four valleys
lying below the storage basin. For
each of these valleys diversion dam
and main canals are being constructed.
About 10000 acres Of these lands are
in New Mexico and Texas, the balance
being in old Mexico In the vicinity of
Juarez.
1.-The general elevation of the irri-
gable area is $500 feet above the sea
level, and the climate is mild and
'equable throughout the year. Tenn
perature ranges from zero to 100 de-
grees above, and the rainfall is about
10 inches annually Soils are fertile
alluvium and sandy loan, producing
large yields Of alfalfa. corn, wheat,
melons, fruits, and vegetables. Dairy
ing and stock raising are profitable in
dustries.
More than one-half Of the irrigable
lands on the project are today in a vir-
gin state, but only small acreage is
public domain. Homeseekers, howev-
