estimate places the population of

This figure is at least three times
in excess of the normal requirements

Sulphur Proves
Good ertilizer

The value of sulphur as a fertilizer
has in the last year or two been tested
by several Delta County farmers. w.
b. Mccormick of Garnet Mesa sowed
with his mulch some 500 pounds of
sulphur to the acre on several acres
of oats. The sulphur was sown on
only a part of the field. as 1t was but
an experiment. The results were most
gratifying as the portion of the field
upon which the sulphur was sown
yielded fifty to sixty bushels to the
acre. entirely free from pests, whereas
the other part of the field yielded less
than twenty-five bushels to the acre
Boyd f. Coffey and Frank Bond
found sulphur very valuable with to-
matoes and sugar beets. as its use
entirely eliminated aphis, cut worms
and other insects and greatly in
creased the yield.
The use of sulphur as a fertilizer
has been tested great deal more
carefully and thoroughly in some OF
the Pacific coast states and its value
has proven almost inestimable About
two-thirds of the $4,000 acres OF al.
falfa in Deschutes County, Oregon.
were treated with sulphur at the rate
of eighty to one hundred pounds to
| the acre and the yield was practically
doubled. Application of sulphur fer
| tilizer on a large clover seed ranch in
Lake County. Oregon, showed an in
| crease in the percentage of clover
heads. setting seeds. of 30 per cent.
On $1,000 acres of alfalfa land in
klamath County it was found possible
to raise the yield from three tons per
acre to five tons, while twenty-seven
alfalfa demonstration fields showed

broken and a great deal of water
went to waste. A 10-inch Matheson
joint pipe took the place of this line
and the capacity of this part of the
system was more than doubled. In
connection with this work a new
screen and grit chamber were erected
at point about six miles north of the
city, where the two supply lines join
and enter into the new 1O-inch pipe.
All floating matter, such as twigs,
leaves, moss and even stones. which
come down from the mountain borne
by the tremendously rapid current,
are being retained here and prevented
by the screens and other devices from
entering into the city system proper.
The picture here inserted shows
this structure with the water passing

doors safeguards the supply at this
point from pollution.

which in reality were nothing more
than frog ponds. have been abandoned
for good, as their utility to the system
as now constructed had ceased
Previous to these improvements
only an S-inch black steel pipe on
Meeker and Third streets carried the
surplus water to the small reservoir
on Garnet Mesa, about two miles dis
tant from town. This pipe was found
to be inadequate for this purpose aside
from the fact that corrosion had prac-
tically destroyed its usefulness. In
it's place new Pinch line was laid
and incidentally Herewith the pres
sures were greatly reduced. The ac-

an increase in yield of from 17.S to
52S.5 per cent. OF one hundred farm
ers who used $50 tons of sulphur, 80
per cent secured good results while
10 per cent were not in a position to
check results.
1t was discovered in Oregon that
the increased content of protein in
the alfalfa fertilized by sulphur more
than paid for the fertilizer and that
the alfalfa has a uniformly darker and
better color.
The usual rate of application in Ore
gon has been from so to 100 pounds
to the acre every four or five years
but it is now thought that 40 to so
pounds every two years would be more
profitable as less sulphur would be
lost by irrigation and drainage. The
fall of the year is recommended as the
best time to apply the fertilizer but
if this is impossible, February and
March are recommended. However
due to the slow oxidation of sulphur
spring applications are apt to return
little increase in yield until the sec
ond crop or sometimes until the Sec
ond year.
Delta County contains vast beds of
sulphur, lying about mile and half
southeast of Payne siding. 1t was
from these beds that Messrs. McCor-
mick. Coffey and Bond obtained the
sulphur for their experiments on Gar
net Mesa. However. the beds lie
about one mile from the road and the
sulphur had to be carried on pack
horses from the beds to the wagons
These sulphur beds contain a prac-
tically inexhaustible supply of fer
tilizer and could prove to be one of
Delta County's most valuable assets
were they properly developed. They
are a potential power, whereas by a
little effort on the part of few enter
prising citizens they could be trans
formed into a profitable and valuable
industry.

MONG the improvements in
~ Delta during the past year,
~ the work done on the City
Water Works system stands
out as an achievement of vital I'M
portance and interest to the COM
munity. With an ample supply of the
purest mountain water available at
its source. it became problem to
deliver same to the city through the
old system which was in a bad state
of repair, which condition was partly
due to faulty location and construc-
tion, partly neglected maintenance.
The question of financing the needed
improvements was speedily settled by
a bond election in which the voters of
Delta stamped their approval upon the
issue of forty thousand dollars worth
of water works bonds.
Among the confronting problems to
be dealt with, it was found that three
miles of line in the Dirty George
Creek supply line near the source on
Grand Mesa had to be moved from its
location in a dangerous sliding side
hill country This was accomplished
by taking up and relaying said line,
moving same as much as half a mile
from it's original site.
The next step was the replacement
of eight thousand feet of S-inch tile
line on Orchard Mesa, three miles
north of Delta. This pipe was badly

Miss Morgan said that the

as a campaign must have a time
limit. One limit Of the campaign
IS the next presidential election

16 Hurt When
Trains Collide
Elevated Train Smashes Into
Rear End of Standing Freight
Fog is Blamed

New York, Jan. 25.-Sixteen
persons were injured early today
when passenger train on the
Third Avenue elevated line crash
ed into the rear end of stand
ing coal and work train near
the fourteenth street station.
William Williamson, slightly in
iured motorman of the passen-
ger train, declared that he did
not see the dim lights of the
work train because of a heavy
mist.
Wet, slippery rails, prevented
him from making an emergency
stop when he did see it, he said.
The passenger train smashed
q work car on the rear of the
standing train to splinters. Seats
we're torn from the floor of the
passenger coaches, windows were
smashed and the passengers
buried beneath the debris.
The agent, hearing the crash
and screams of the injured, turn
ed in the fire, police and hospital
alarms. After extraction of the
wreckage, emergency treatment
at the station, many of the pas
sengers were fourd injured seri-
ously enough to be taken to hos
pitals while others were sent
home. Neither train left the ele-
waited structure.
