ENGINEERS Plan
TOBUILD DAM At
BOULDER CANYON
Reservoir To Be Eighty
Miles Long And Fifty
Miles Wide

Situated on the Colorado river, ap.
proximately ITO miles below the Grand
Canyon at the Arizona Nevada line
Boulder Canyon has been chosen by
government engineers as perhaps the
most feasible for construction of a dam
designed to harness the river and pro-
vide the southwest with flood protec-
ton, irrigation and power production,
as called for in the Swing Johnson bill
One other site-Black Canyon, num-
Der of miles down stream from Boulder
Canyon, also has been looked upon fav-
orably as a center for this greatest of
reclamation projects, but a preponder-
ance of opinion points to the Boulder
Canyon location as best suited for the
dam, says The Christian Science Moni-
tor.
The immensely of the construction
work which would take place at Boul-
der Canyon as a result of passage by
Congress of the Swing j Johnson bill and
the vast influence which the entire
project would have upon the future
Of the southwest can only be indicated
family in advance Of the actual work.
Ray u. Ballinger, a junior civil engi-
neer of the Los Angeles bureau of now
er and light, asserted that the proposed
dam would back up the river into a
reservoir eighty miles long and fifty
miles broad at its widest point, which
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-03-23

should they commence to bloomf Mrs,
N, Ozark, Ala.
/ A. Much would depend on soil and
cultivation. They should begin some
time In June and II properly taken
care of will continue In bloom until
late in the season. Don't crowd them
too much.
Q. In making beds in which to grow
certain plants, do you think it desira-
BILE to board up around the beds? 3.
B., Athens, Ala.
A. Yes, think so providing certain
rules are observed. Such beds ought to
be level or near so as possible and
boarded up at sides and ends. The
boards ought to be anchored or sunk
en- 80 that tops do not stick up but
little above the level Of the soil in
bed. Then one should bank up the dirt
outside against the boards to conserve
the moisture in the beds.
Q. / want to grow some wax padded
bunch beans like we were used TO IN
Michigan where we came from. Will
the same varities that we|grew there
do well here? Mrs. L., Pensacola, Fla.
A. They certainly will but probably
ought to be given a little greater dis
lance to AVOID rust. The black wax,
golden wax and Mardwells wax are all
good sorts for the south.
@. want to plant the annual pinks
that bloom the first year from seed.
What are the best sorts? Mrs. W.,
Garden City, Ala.
A. There are many sorts both double
and single to select from and think a

single are fine. In doubles l would rec
ommend select mixture.
O.. What has become of the old fash
toned painted daisies that mother used

e Wetumpka, Ala.
A. They are still to be had and you
may find them listed in seed catalogs

chrysanthemums. They are easily

would contain 9,774, 1874, 900, 600 gal
Ions, or enough water to cover to a
depth of one foot a strip of land one
mile wide and 6SS miles long.
This water, released in a constant
flow, would not only store up the flood
waters of the river and insure farmers
of Imperial Valley and other reclaimed
districts against drought, but would
create 100000 horsepower. which Mr..
Ballinger visualized as sufficient force
to project a ton continually at the rate
of 30 miles a second.
Rock Conditions Satisfactory
Government engineers have recently
completed diamond drilling operations
at Boulder Canyon and assert they are
satisfied with bed rock conditions, thus
removing last doubt as to the adapta-
bility of the location. The canyon
walls, rising abruptly and towering
more than one thousand feet from the
river bed, form, they assert, one of the
most ideal sites possible for the con-
struction of an unusually large dam
such as that contemplated.
Other reasons than the unusually
adaptable formation of the canyon
walls themselves, however, point to this
location as the logical site for the
dam. Principal among these is the
fact that virtually all materials needed
for the necessary construction work
are available in large quantity within
a short distance of the canyon.
The only things which it would be
necessary to bring to Boulder Canyon
for the work would be machinery and
fuel, Frank M. Barnes, a prospector,
who has spent twenty-eight years
studying the mineralogy of the Colo
rodo river has pointed out. There is
ample gypsum here to be used in the
cement, and plenty of beach pebbles
for the tube mills, while the best clay
for the purpose is in great abundance,
he says. Lime is here also but there
has been some discussion as to its puri-
ty. If it were necessary to bring
lime from elsewhere the Santa Fe

Q. want to plant something that

J. A., Akron, Ala.
A. The plant known az pearl, cat-taii
and horse millet would naswer the pur-
pose. This may be grown in drills

rapidly and stools out enormously, es-
pecially when cuttings are repeated.
O. Two or three years ago bought
a yellow trumpet flower but was dis
appointed to find that is not what I

/ wanted something to climb trees. Can
you suggest the right thing? Mrs. l.,
r. T. D., 8.
A. The true yellow or evening
trumpet flower, known as Carolina or
American yellow jasmin, is what you
want. This is a twining vine often
found growing in swamps and grows
80 or more feet high.
(Q.) Will you please publish the
formula for making Bordeaux mixture
and lime-sulphur. want to use both
as a trial on some fruit trees. Where

O. Several times last summer / ate

cultivated? D. B., Meridian, Miss.
A. Swiss chilrd, known also as
spinach beet and sea kale is grown m
the same time, but since 1t is prim-
arily a summer vegetable, any time in
April will be early enough. The seed
look like beet seed, maybe slightly
larger, the tops resemble beet somewhat
but much larger. The plant makes no
bulk but the foliage is unsurpassed as
a vegetable.
Q. In bedding out sweet potatoes how
can you tell when one is diseased? T.
W., Oxford, Ala.
A. Before bedding out sweet potatoes,
every one should be closely examined
for decay and diease. You cannot al
ways be perfect in selection but every
potato that shows stem rot or any dark
or discolor on or beneath the skin
should not 60 into the bed. Some may
be broken off at the ends or cut but
if such stock has healed over and no
other sign of injury it is permissible
to bed them. Its best to confine your
bed to perfectly clean and unblemished
stock.
Q. Is it too late to set out gaillardia
plants now for blooming this summer or
could I grow from seed, planted right
away? Miss p, Andalusia, Ala.
A. 1t would not be too late provid-
ing you could secure good strong plants.
There are, however, number of
splendid annual sorts that you may
easily grow from seed. This is a fine
plant for either beds or borders and
to furnish flowers suitable for cutting
for vases and boquets.
Q. If plant zinnias now when
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1924-03-23

would build spur on the Arizona side
from Chloride to bring it.
One argument advanced in support
of the site at Black Canyon is the
fact that we're the dam constructed
there the resulting reservoir would not
inundate the town Of st. Thomas and
upward Of 1000 acres Of agricultural
land near 1t along the Virgin river in
Nevada.
Why Site Is Advised
In selection OF the Boulder Canyon
site government engineers were guided
by the necessity that the dam should be
as far down the river as possible, 90
that it might control not only the Colo
RADIO itself, but all it's larger tribu-
taries as well. The Bill Williams river
and ella river are the only streams
which a dam at Boulder Canyon would
not control, and these empty into the
Colorado so far down that stream that
they cannot be controlled by one COM
mon project. Neither Of these, it has
been pointed out, can endanger the
present levee system which guards I'm
perial Valley, and both can be con-
trolled by separate projects OF COM
paratively small magnitude.
At the Boulder Canyon site a dam
would be centrally located as a power
plant, supplying electricity economical
" to the cities, irrigation districts and
mines Of Arizona and Nevada on the
one side and the cities and irrigation
districts of southern California on the
other. As outlined by the Reclama-
ton service, the structure would rise
600 feet between the canyon walls from
the level of the river. and would ex-
tend 100 feet below the river level to
bedrock. About 200 feet wide at its
base, it would widen fan-like to meet
the receding walls of the canyon until
Its crest would extend 1000 feet across
the deep chasm.

EXCURSIONS ON BELVIDERE
ROAD WERE SUCCESSFUL

With this week the excursions to
Atlantic City over the Belvidere
Delaware Railroad from Lambertville
are probably ended for the season.
Their success has been marked. The
trains ran on time, and on fast
schedule, without mishap or delay.
The schedule from Lambertville
South called for more than forty
miles an hour, including stops, slow
downs and transferring from one
division to another, at Trenton,
Delair and Westmont.
Not passenger was reported in
jured on any of these trips, about
the only mishaps being the overeat-
ing by some of the younger excur-
sionists when the salty air got in
its toxic influences.
The excursions from Philadelphia
and other points to Delaware Water
Gap and Stroudsburg were an inno-
walton, being the first in the history
of the Belvidere road. They were
well patronized, and passed Lambert
vile on schedule each way. The
gravest danger in excursions in days
gone by were the erratic schedules
that many We're operated on.
