prove 1t and TO prosper. Is natural to
every American. ana today unprece-
den1ed offers are being made to secure
the residence of the home-hunter. The
war condition is draining the continent
of its foodstuffs and economists are
endeavoring to meet the rapid deple-
ton of the nations stores of grain and
other farm products. Western Canada
has proven her claim 70 being the natu-
raj producer of economically grown
foodstuffs and is indeavoring to over
come worlds shortage in necessities
by offering her lands, practically free,
to anyone who will take them and pro-
duce. Labor is scarce in Canada, and
is now being bonused. Good wages are
offered and the time a farm hand is
drawing pay in 1917, is considered by
the Canadian Government, the same as
residence duties on one of the free 1861
acre farms. that this Government is
giving away, in order to settle the fer
tile prairies and bring about within
few years a half billion annual crop
of wheat
The most conclusive evidence is
available to any inquirer, that western
Canada farm lands will produce more
wheat of better quality and at
lower cost of production per acre than
has heretofore been known in grain
growing countries. 1t is no idle state
ment to say, that yields of fifty bushels
to the acre of wheat are grown in Cam
ada; the statement is made in all sert-
BUSINESS and is backed up by the let
ters and affidavits of reliable farmers
in Western Canada. These farmers
are enjoying the same home comforts
that their neighbors to the south pNr7

houses, the same good horses and,
cattle, the same good roads and COM
munication, as weir as the same good
social conditions, and, best of ALL they
own their land and what they earn
they own for themselves, being u foun-
dalton for greater wealth and indie

Big Elephant Butte
Dam Will Curb the
Rio Grande Floods

The United States reclamation service has com
spleted by the building of the Elephant Butte dam
d reservoir capable of impounding 862.200,O00 600
gallons Of water. That is to say within artifi-
cial lake 40 miles long and with a shore line of
PIG miles, water enough will be stored to be
spread a foot deep over an area of 1926 square
miles; or, If twice that depth, it 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 it's kind in the United States but the
most ambitious in the world. The famous Assuan
dam in Egypt impounds only twothrds as much
water and cost $14,O00,OOO more than the Elephant
Butte structure, $19,0O0O0O. Elephant butte
is in New Mexico, about twelve miles west of
Engle, and in order to carry materials to the dam
site it was necessary to build branch railway
nearly thirteen miles long tapping the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe line. The government con-
structed this road and operated something like
fourth of It, and in this way saved $4,000 in
freight charges alone.
The dam is built of great rocks buried III a mass
Of concrete and blocks canyon the Rio
Grande From the lowermost point of the parapet
wall the dam rises 318 feet and nearly third OF
this is below the river bed. AT it's top the struc
ture has length of 1,674 feet and it runs a
fine roadway 16 feet wide The dam is 225 feet
thick at it's base and the entire mass which called
for 100000 cubic yards of material, represents a
dead weight of 100000 tons. This strength and
inertia are needed 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 was taken up in preliminary
operations before the great bulwark could be
reared. This preparatory work called for the con-
structon of great sluice to divert the rivers
flow and enormous bulkheads subsidiary dams
above and below the permanent dam.
The climate is equable in the region
opened to the farmer, and the soil is abundantly
productive when properly watered. A practical
husbandman with $4,000 working capital has q
splendid chance.

gathered, hauled to market, and made by weight
z bushels to the acre. and brought money value
of $50 per acre.
The planter used to plant the corn 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 too
thick and this condition reduced the yield fully
ten bushels or more to the acre. But think Of p
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 so short
a time and with so little expense, as the cost Of
the vetch seed was but $3.50 an acre.
This experiment with vetch made Mr. Smith q
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 yetch
over 90 bushels per acre, the cost of the vetch
seed for this field being only So per acre Similar
experiments were made with the growing of sweet
corn and potatoes land that had first been
planted to yetch and the results were equally
successful.
Vetch, according to Mr.. Smith, is no respecter
of soils. 1t settles down and makes It's home with
the rich or poor clay well as the rich or poor
sand and commences its business of soil restora-
ton at once 1t has no terrors of frost draught
Winter will grasp it with its hand and hold it in
its icy clasp for months and months and when
the warm sunshine of spring releases it, it smiles
business at the old stand. The drought of fall,
spring or summer will blow its breath upon it. but
It needs it not and continues its business of stor-
ing fertility in the soil though it were being con-
stantly caressed with refreshing showers.
