q bushels to the acre, and brought money value
of $50 per acre.
The planter used to plant the corn was set to
drop three grains to the hill, and never missed
putting three grains in the hill. but too often
dropped four grains, which made the corn too
thick, and this condition reduced the yield fully
ten bushels or more to the But think of u
bushels of corn being grown on land that had not
for over 20 years produced more than 20 bushels
to the acre, and this feat accomplished In short
time and with little expense. the cost Of
the vetch seed was but $3.50 acre.
This experiment with vetch made Mr.. Smith
vetch enthusiast. The following year he planted
ten acres of better and higher land to vetch, and
the yield Of corn on this land after the vetch was
over 80 bushels per acre, the cost of the vetch
seed for this field being only SO per Similar
experiments were made with the growing of sweet
corn and potatoes on land that had first been
planted to vetch and the results equally
successful.

Big Elephant Butte
Dam Will Curb the
Rio Grande Floods

The United States reclamation service has COM
pleted by the building Of the Elephant Butte dam
a reservoir capable of impounding 1852 100000 900
gallons of water. That is to say within an artifi-
cial lake As miles long and with shore line of
216 miles, water enough will be stored to be
spread foot deep over area OF 4,2S5 square
miles; or, If twice that Depth 1t would cover the
state Of Delaware. The purpose of this water is
to rrigate $4,000 acres in four valleys lying be-
low the storage basin in New Mexico and Texas.
While the dam itself Is not SO high others in
the United States for kindred service, still the
massiveness of the structure and the capacity of
the reservoir make the project not only the big
gest thing Of Its kind in the United States but the
most ambitious in the world The famous Assuan
dam In Egypt impounds only two-thirds much
water and cost s14,OOOOOO more than the Elephant
Butte structure. $19OOO,OOO. Elephant butte
Is In New Mexico, about twelve miles west of
Engle. and in order to carry materials to the dam
site 1t was necessary to build a branch railway
nearly thirteen miles long tapping the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fee line. The government con-
structed this road and operated something like a
fourth Of it, and In this way saved $4,000 in
freight charges alone.
The dam Is built Of great rocks buried in mass
Of concrete and blocks a canyon the Rio
Grande. From the lowermost point of the parapet
wall the dam rises 31S feet, and nearly a third Of
this is below the river bed At its top the struc-
ture has length Of 1874 feet and 1t runs a
fine roadway 16 feet wide. The dam is 225 feet
thick at its base and the entire mass which called
Tor olOUUO CUBIC yards OF material, represents
dead weight of 100000 tons. This strength and
inertia needed to halt the onrush of the cratic
and the torrental Rio Grande and to hold the
accumulated waters that they may be supplied
slowly and safely to the widespread acres reach
ing for III miles.
Work was begun in 1911, and half of the sue
ceeding six years taken up in preliminary
operations before the great bulwakk could be
reared. This preparatory work called for the con-
struction of a great sluice to divert the rivers
flow and enormous bulhheads or subsidiary DANG
above and below the permanent dam.
The climate is eQuabe in the region
opened to the farmer and the soil Is abundantly
productive when properly watered. A practical
husbandman with 5000 working capital has q
splendid chance.
