NEXT WARM DAYS WILL SEE THE ROOF ON

The work on the Farmer-Labol
Temple was halted last Saturday by
the terrific blizzard that blew down
from the northwest, and lowered
! the temperature many degrees and
precipitated a lot of snow. At time
the storm struck there was big
crew on the structure, that was max
ing splendid progress and if it had
sen favored with two or three DAYS
more Of nice weather, the building
would have been inclosed and the
roof would have been on and win
dows in place, so that the inside work
could have proceeded without inter
upton.

Ole Anderson and Charlie Westphal
however defed the weather and on
the coolest days, went to the ton of

will be covered and conditions pre- (
pared for procedure with the inside

Elwood Mead Named
Reclamation Head

The most pleasing bit of telegraph
ie news that has como to this project
was the announcement that Elwooi
Mead has been appointed commits
sioner of reclamation and that ID. w.
Davis has resigned to accept another
position in the service.
DR.. Mead has made a number of
visits to the project and probably
knows more of the wants and needs
of the west than any man in the busi-
ness in the United States. His ap-
pointment has been a matter of con.
graduation over the entire project.
He was chief irrigation engineer
for the government up to 1907 and
was then called to Australia to take
charge of reclamation affairs for that
government. He has but recently re-
turned from trip to Europe, during
which he was called in consultation
connected with reclamation in Pales-
tine and also in Australia. DR.. Mead
is regarded one of the best authori-
ties on irrigation and reclamation
law in the United States and there is
probably no one more familiar with
the details of irrigation and reclama-
tion of the great area between the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific
coast than he.

Melon Growers
Get Rebate Money

The c. Fl. Weaver Company
through its agent Mr.. C. H. Badger
is busy distributing $412.77 freight
adjustment money to the melon
growers who shipped through this
firm last season. Mr. Badger has the
checks available for the growers and
in practically every case there ID
some rebate money due.
A recent article from a Colorado
paper states that less than half the
usual acreage In Rocky Ford section
will be planted this season. In fact
it has been gradually dwindling ow-
ing to changes in climatic conditions.
Mr.. Badger states that farmers
are signing up literally and that he
anticipates one of the best years on
the project and also the largest acre
age. The ground that no Is working
is ready for planting and this will be
taken care of the lat.sT part of the
month
It is stated that the Turlock sec.
ton is also cutting down melon acre.
age, leaving this project as one Of
the resources that the market will
have to look to this summer and fall.
