WHAT THE SAN CARLOS PROJECT IS

1. The San Carlos Project contempIates the
mpounding of the rich flood waters of the Ga
River behind a great storage dam few miles
below San Carlos, Arizona.
e A 22ofoot dam at San Carlos will make
lake thirty-one square miles in area.
g. The waters thus impounded would cover
1885, ,e26 acres of land IL inches deep.
a. Such dam would cost approximately
eight to ten million dollars.
S. This amount Of water Il ,335, 1926 acre fect)
would be sufficient to provide ample Irrigation

6. Such an acreage could be greatly in

Sheep VS.. Dog.

Mr.. Editor.
Yon raised the question in your
last weeks issue as to how many
sheep there is in the United States
to go along with the twenty mil
lion dogs we are MAINTAINING annual
|ly. Will say don't know; but do
know what menace the dog is to
the sheep industry. In the State OF
Tennessee alone there are nine dogs
to where there is one sheep, accord
ing to the latest caucus of the situa-
ton. Statistics at Washington tell
us it costs $50 to raise dog to the
full grown stage.
This estimate is not based on
choice foods he consumes but from
the table scrap and refuse generally
fed TO our canine friend. How many
pounds would this amount OF waste
and food make if put OH good pig:
Then let ms look at it from anoth-
er viewpoint. We have one sheep
for every nine dogs. Those nine
dogs cost $50 per head to raise. To,
tai cost to raise nine 1924, and the
average farmer who loves his farm
and his sheep would not give this
amount for all the dogs in the state
How many spring lambs would this
cost price of nine dogs help the far
mer to raise for the market?
This beloved canine is taking
thousands of dollars ont of our State

THE NEWS WANTS PER
MANENT CONSTRUCTION

The News has ever been an ad-
vocate of good roads.
However, it wants them built
along sane lines-that is, funds
raised therefor which will not
prove detriment, instead OF an
advantage.
Just now Tennessee has a most
important road proposition before
it, namely, the issuing Of SO mil
lion dollars in b. nds to be paid
for practically by automobile tax
es.
The News does not want to
stand in the way of a good thing
and this is a mighty important
one to Tennessee, but so far no
definite figures have been given
out, nor any certain material Sc
lected with which to build these
roads.
They tell us they are to he per.
manent, and that's what we
want and none other. If of con
crete, how will 1t be surfaced?
Concrete alone will not stand the
weal and tear Of iron shod hooN es
and iron bound wheels, which
disintegrate, while the. automo-
bile blows away Men who
know say that vitriied brick laid
edgewise in cement is practically
the only permanent road. Is
this the kind OF a road to be con
structed?
If so, what will it cost per mile?
Whatever kind of road is now
proposed is estimated at $18, 600,
for they tell US that 2700 miles of
road will connect the county seats
at an expense of SO million dol
lars.
We think the State Depart
meht of tiighM avs should be Civ
en- a cnance 10 tgure on this job
first and tell us what it will cost
and at how much per mile and of
what material If it is to be of
sand bound W tn clay we do not
want it. ii It is to be OF concrete
alone we do not want it.
