THE floods of the Colorado riv.

years past, have been building up
the soil i'll this part of the valley.
depositing layer upon layer of solids
washed down the river. Anything
that could have formed humus
tloated on top of the flood waters
down to the sea, leaving the solids
that contain plant food in compact
layers, as the floods rose and sub.
sided.
"These floods did not take place
as often as many people believe.
Searching records and traditions of
the past as far back as there is writ
ten history of this region, nothing
has been found to indicate that
there has been such an overflow
during historic times. The legends
Of the Indians, whose history is
handed down by word of mouth
contain stories of seeing white sails
on the wSters that once covered this
valley. 'E
" Entering the Imperial valley
along the highway from the north
the action Of the waters can be seen
along the rocky sides Of the
Santa Rosa mountains at approx.
snately sea level. This old water
line leads to the belief that the I'm
perial valley was once an inland sea.
It is believed that that sea has re-
ccded by evaporation after the riv'
er had piled up sand bars across
its mouth, thus shutting out for
ever the ebb and flow Of the waters
of the Gulf Of Mexico. The entrap
ped waters evaporated under the
desert sun and the sediment in the
water settled to the bottom, thus
forming another soil layer. The
lighter organic portion of the soil
that washed down from Utah and
Nevada, higher up the Colorado.
floated away down the gulf, leaving
the deposits in the Imperial valley
barren of such decaying vegetation
as would release plant food from
the inorganic portions of the soil.
This humus has to be supplied and
we are using the compost method ,
described above to replenish this
element in the soil. -

The announcement that the
Brownsville schools will have a
centralized coaching system bids
fair to increase athletics a hun
dred per cent in another year or
two. 1t sill be a system by which
the athletes can be closely checked
and trained. In other words IL will
be Just like raising a youngster to
become a better athlete.
The system Is more or less a
new one for Texas high schools.
and Brownsville is to be COM
mended for taking the lead In
such work.
Probably the greatest example Of
this system Is in existence at Notre
Dame where Knute Rockne has
tuilt up n of the greatest ath-
letic organizations in America. No
school has a better set Of intra-
mural athletics. and no school has
a better organized athletic. system.
Every step through the school.
there exists close harmony be-
tween the athletic departments.
One method Is used throughout
and Is under the sole direction OF
n head.
Fessenden can install his style of
playing in the Brownsville schools
and through. the close cooperation
OF his assistants. the form AN be
followed In various departments.
Then when a lad finishes Junior
high he will be accustomed to the
style OF play in the high school.
since IL will be or the same va
riety and so on through the jun
Tor college.
The best example in Texas high
school Is that of Waco high.
Paul Tyson. probably the greatest
high school coach In the South.
In the United States as far as
that matters, has a splendid sys-
TEN. When a lad gets large
enough to run about. Tyson puts
him in some sort Of athletic uni
form and by the time he gradu-
ates from high school he knows
something about athletics and
has put his knowledge into prac-
tice.
And when q fellow has spent his
time under that system. he will re-
call he has been taught under n
