PLENTY WATER OUT west
1--WE CAN ONLY HANDLE IT
Wonderful Evening-Up Process Of Nature Is One Of
the Numerous Lessons We Get From the
Great Flood Of This Month

The program for the Farm page of
the Chieftain has been somewhat al
tered.
Two weeks ago the intention was to
write something on the necessity of
initiating the California style of lining
irrigation bitches with concrete in
order to make the water go farther"
as well as TO prevent seepage. At that
time the local figures on precipitation
showed only half the normal amount
credited up 10 us from past years.
Similar deficiency had prevailed thru
out the past year. For six years the
climate had showed marked changes
Action of the rainfall was different
from the rain habits OF old times. Even
the reduced amount OF rain did not
come down in the cloudburst way but
descended leisurely and gently. This
worked in tho interest of the dry farm
eTs to remarkable degree so that pretty
fair crops were grown with astonish-
inglY small amount of moisture--an
amount so little 1t seemed Incredible
that any useful plants could be raised
out on the plains. We were even talk
ing about the Arkansas valley being
annexed to the corn country.
But the various expensive reservoirs.
built to catch flood waters. stood dry.
There were no floods There had been
tain creek for six years. The Ave re-
servoirs on the Apishapa and Turkey
creek could furnish no water to the
lakes with which they had been sup
Piled.
All this time there were stubborn old
settlers who banked on the evening
up habits OF nature. II was not ex-
actly a Turkish fatalism but an ahid-
Ing faith that the climate had not per
manently changed, that the logic of
local peculiarities must prevail. and
thas everything would come back.
Everything did come back. and 1t
camc swift and sure. Look at the
weather mans figures today and you
see the total OF precipitation this year
quite up to the normal and then

in time but what we want now Is
strength and massive soidity for head
gates. Because there is plenty of
water Colorado has come back. and
the headgates must get ready.
Is there any substitute for cement
for either of these purposes?
There is, but 1t requires skill, pa
tience, ingenuity, galvanized wire and
bouiders.
An irrigation ditch can be made so
nearly leak-proof that not enough
seepage would occur to need drains,
and without any cement. There are
numerous spots where can be obtained
clay of remarkably solid quality The
Mexicans seek out such places to oh
tain material for the adobe bricks they
use. Usually this sticky gumbo is
composed OF disintegrated shale which
has been thoroly kneaded by glacial
action. and II can he found mostly
north of the Arkansas river all the
south side for several hundred miles
being sandy, the land east of the Foun-
tain being also sandy. One of the
spots where such clay abounded was
at Thirteenth and Court streets in Pu-
eblo and from there northward. There
are acres of it up toward the foothills.
Line the ditch several inches thick

ment soup would make 1t still better.

SEED FROM CORN ONE
THOUSAND YEARS OLD

A stone jar. estimated to he about
1,CD0 years old, was found in the cliff
dwellings about twelve miles from
Jerome. Ariz,, in January, 1917, by
John Love. a curio hunter from Fla =
staff. Ariz. The Aztec Indians. whn
were the inhabitants of these dwell

tho fact that no iron or steel imple-
ments have ever been found among the
ruins, while stone implements have
been found in large numbers.
The jar when broken contained a
handful of shelled corn. which the curio
hunter gave to Mrs. Hart, rostmistress
