AGRICULTURE AND THE
 COLORADO PROJECT

D. w. Working, Dean of the Col lege of Agriculture, who was one of the representatives of the University of Arizona at the great Convention of the League of the Southwest, held this month in Los Angeles, gives food for thought in the following brief re- marks on the vast possibilities of the Colorado River project as affecting the agricultural outlook in Arizona:
 Prom the point of view of the az riculturist, the Convention of the League of the Southwest was effect i've in turning the attention of broad minded business men to the importan- ce of the Colorado River as potential producer of agricultural wealth. It was stated over and over again that the annual value of farm crops in the Salt River Valley is from two to four times the amount invested in building the Roosevelt, Dam and the irrigation works connected with it. Ordinarily it is not supposed that an invest ment in a permanent structure like the Roosevelt Dam should do more than pay a good rate of interest on the total cost of construction. Here, how ever, we have a case where the annual receipts from crops that could not have been grown without the Roose- welt Dam amount in value to the total investment. Every year there is lost to the agriculture of the Colorado River Basin more than enough water to irrigate ten times the area now being watered in the Salt River Val ley. The Los Angeles Convention very strongly emphasized in the minds of those who heard the addresses the fact that it is possible, within probably ten years, to multiply from five to ten times the amount and value of the agricultural production of this great basin.
 Inevitably, a large part of the new area to be brought under culti- vation will be Arizona land that is now desert. The building of the San Carlos Dam would add a very large area of the most potentially valuable land in the whole Southwest. The building of other dams on the main stream and elsewhere will assure a permanent and adequate supply of water for a much greater area of rich land, and at the same time fur nish water power for use on farms and elsewhere, and will also greatly reduce, if not entirely, remove, the danger from flood damage on the Lower Colorado. Thus, we have a great and comprehensive scheme of conservation; the saving of the same water to produce abundant and com paratively cheap electrical power for distribution throughout the Valley; and the removal of the very danger ous and ever-present menace which threatens the region about Yuma and considerable part of Lower Califor- mia.
 "The tremendous possibilities of this whole conservation project, and the certainly that it can be made al most immediately profitable from the financial standpoint, make it the duty of the people of Arizona and of the whole Southwest to arrive at a correct comprehension of it's meaning in or der that they may come to common understanding of the importance of pushing it to the earliest possible com pletion."

The Lincoln highway, stretching 3320 miles across the continent, has cost the country more than $20, ,000, 900 in the last six years. And there is still lots of improvements to be done on it before the road can be made accessible all the year round.

 If Christ, on the day He was born, had started on tour to preach in every village in India, He would still have S0,000 more to visit.
 We now believe we have found . way by which the leaders of the Prot. estant churches can sit around com. mon table and have the Christian pro, gram of the entire world laid before them. By means of the Interchurcb World Movement we can see where the Methodists are, and where the Baptists are. We can see the general outline of their forces, their present status in this great world struggle, and may also have some idea of the unoccupied places, and what may be done by all of us to enter these unoc cupied parts of the world field which Christ sent us to occupy.

victor's Flag Is Always
 M. Placed at Top of Mast.

{ Originally the practice of hoisting flags on public buildings only part of the way up the flagpoles was military one. Ever since flags were used in war 1t has been the custom to have the nag of the superior or conquering na- tion above that of the inferior or van- quished. When an army found itself hopelessly beaten 1t hauled its flag down far enough for the victors' flag to be placed above 1t on the same pole. Nhis was a token, not only of submis- bion, but of respect. In. like manner when famous soldier died flags were lowered not only to indicate respect to his memory, but to show that he had buccumbed to the greatest conQueror Hf all-death, for which flag space was left at the top of the staff.

NEW YORK. April 1-Workmen
employed on lighters, tugs and ferry

struck today over the question of
hours of labor and Union officials
predicted that before nightfall the

Early today other ferries were op-
Grating on their usual schedules and
officials of the lines appeared conf
dent that there would be no further
spread of the strike.
Capt. Maher said later that a gem
eral strike would be declared on all
railroad boats except ferries at .

J. j. Mantell, manager of the New
York region of the Erie, in a state
ment today said the road had ex-
planned to its harbor employees that
as a common carrier the Erie is
bound by law to handle without dis
elimination all traffic offered for
transportation.
This explanation was made. he
said, because. the union had demand-
ed that the Erie refuse to move

pany.
