 Approval and acceptance of the plans by the board of governors does not mean that the plan will be invoked il was stated. The matter of expenditures must first be submitted to vote of the shareholders before execution oi the plans can take place.
 Vote on the drainage proposal Will be taken at the regular annual elec- ton in April, provided council ap- proves.
 The association, in the meantime, will have the report of Engineer Murphy printed in pamphlet form for distribution to all shareholders in the association
 Following is the report:
 Report of Engineer To the Honorable President an6 Board ot Governors, Salt River Valley Water Users Association, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Gentlemen:
 have the honor to submit the fol- lowing report on drainage of the Salt River project.
 Introduction and Scope
 his report is intended primarily D present. statement of drainage con- ditions at the present time, anl to give, as fully as is possible, an outline and estimates of cost of the works neces- sary to reclaim or protect project areas which are seeped or threatened. The experiences of the past year and the data that have been collected relative to pumping on some areas of the pro- ject have been of great value in deter mining the character of works that are nece ssary
 Reference is here made to the report of a board of engineers consisting of W. R. Elliott. W. H. Code and the writer, dated February 13, 1919 In that report it was shown that there had been an average rise in ground water of about 7.5 feet over the entire project during the past five years, ana that ground water was sufficiently high over a large area to be a source of danger to the lands. It was the con ciusion of the board that where ground water is 10 feet or less below the sur face, consideration should be given to drainage, in order to prevent a further rise above the danger line
 The report further discusses the
Arizona republican., 1920-02-18

sources and amount of excess water in the soils. and the means that may be employed for it's removal. One of the principal duties of the board was the design and location of number of wells. to be constructed primarily for supplementing the gravity water sup ply of the project. Study also was given to drainage conditions and re- quirements in order to locate wells so they would have the greatest beneficial, effect in lowering ground water. The summary of conclusions of the board are as follows:
 First: The rise in ground water during the past lew years, and its present proximity to the surface indi- cate clearly that drainage is needed to areas, from becoming water logged and alkaline and ultimately unfit for cul- tivation.
 Second: That drainage is feasible both from the economic and engineer ing viewpoints
 Third: That pumping generally may be regarded as the most feasible means for drainage but there are some areas where the effectiveness of pump ing has not been proven and where drains may be required.
 Fourth: The quantity of water which must be removed during the next few years. it is estimated will annum.
 Fifth: That to remove this quan- tity about B wells. in addition to those already provided for. will be required.
 Sixth: That a mare economic use of water will reduce the amount of drainage that ultimately will be needed
 Irrigation During 1919
 The quantities of water diverted into the heads of main canals in terms of depth on the total area irrigated, are shown by the diagrams, Drawing No. l. Comparing the yearly total with those of the previous years, given in the board report of 1919, we have:

Difference " 197, ,S9o This difference may be due partly to differences in character of crops raised. and partly to more careful use of water during the past season. The fact that the water table was high over large areas of the project may, and no doubt did have an influence upon the quantity of water applied to the soil. Natural rainfall also may have influenced the quantity of water used in irrigation. The following table shows by months the rainfall at Phoe- nix for the past two irrigation seasons:

PURPOSE Is THE STRONG
RIGHT ARM OF THE MAN
POSSESSED OF CHARACTER

Purpose is resolve, intention, aim
Have you a purpose? Life has no real
meaning until a man has a fixed pur-
pose. A man can have no dependable
energy until he has the power of pur.
pose Neither can he direct worthy
energy without purpose.
Purpose is in line with progress Alb
sense of purpose Is blind speculation,
a random shot, leap in the dark.
Haphagard humans have no pur-
pose. They are on their way.
Purpose gives a new interest. new
impulse, a new intent in life. Pur-
pose is the strong right arm of the
man of courage. The most dreaded
fellow that one can meet is the man
we call derelict.
Unless you have a prearranged plar
you are quite sure to make faced
fizzle, fluke.
Some folks win on a fluke, and then
they fuke again and it's all off.
Life today offers unlimited oppor-
tunity for some special effort-un-
measured possibilities for the man of
purpose. Throw away all benumbing
doubts, all anaesthetic agencies that
IRralyze purpose.
- Get some keen, vivid, lively idea and
carry 1t out to successful issue. To-
day Is a new chariot of times posi-
bilities, an airplane of the modern
age and its wonderful probabilities.
Are you ON?

FARMERS START PEACEFUL
REVOLUTION WITH INTENT
TO GUST MIDDL EMAN

Farmers have never riyaled organ
lied labor as workers for their own
best interests. In most localities they
are too individualistic to organize at
all. In others their activity has been
no more effectual than that of a Ford
churning busily in mudhole. The
Western states, however, achieved
something in collective buying and
marketing. as Washington and Oregon
apples and California oranges testify
The grain farmers of the northern
Middle West captured North Dakota
and won power In Minnesota, South
Dakota. Montana, etc, through the
Non.Partisan League. Farm inter
ests are now active in a national cam
paign which has left its stamp through
the American Farm Bureau federation
on the platforms of both of the larger
political parties. and which is testing
senators and congressman on various
bills that will have the attention of
the capital at the present session.
That these are signs of national
farmers eyolution-entirely peaceful.
Of course--is quite possible. The dis
trust of the middleman, and, more i'm
portant, OF the legislator and his many
untitled promises. has sharpened
among farmers. Success In the West.
and Northwest has stiffened them.
The public knows they are right, and
they need no propaganda. With the
passage of few such bills as the
Capper-Volstead act for cooperative
markets the farmer may begin a new
life in which something like Just
prices will be familiar things.
