 Funds remaining unallocated of the original figure total approxi- mately $1,25O, 1000. This de- cision represented sweeping vic tory for Harry Hopkins, WPA ad- ministrator.
 Hopkins recently disagreed with Public Works Administrator liar old L. Ickes when he vetoed 2,00C PWA projects as too costly. Ar agreement, however, between the two was reached after a 12-hour summer White House conference yesterday and last night.

Republican Ticket Is
 Presented To Public
tiandPicked Steanl-Roed Affair That Failed to Show tiarmony-From Top to Bottom the Delegates
 Were Told What They Had to Do

Republicans, so-called, of the city met in three conventions last night and selected a slate of candi- dates who will go before the cleo torate of Waterbury next month in the municipal election. Publisher Pape's steamroller rolled. Advance reports of the g. 0. D. conventions in the Waterbury Democrat were verified. Heads were chopped off. The board of aldermen and the board of education were revamped. The constables had to fight for their places on the ticket. Anything but harmony reigned among the republicans today after the .tac- tics last night under the leadership of 2. o. D. Town Chairman F. w. Palomba.
 Press Knew In Advance
 Seconds were practically split as nominating committees went into conference and came out with slates of candidates. The resolu- tions adopted by the city conven- ton were in the hands of the press before they were read to the dele gates. The program was prear- ranged and the entire slate picked was manipulated from top to bot tom. Efforts of one delegate at the city convention, John Lynch, to name a candidate for office con- trary to the Pape groups wishes were ignored as the steamroller crushed the voice of the minority in the party.
 Admission was made at the city convention that a primary battle was only avcrted few days ago. This further confirmed the authen- tic reports of the Waterbury Dem ocrat.
 Some Delegates Absent
 The city convention, advertised for o'clock, did rot actually be- gin until 9:2S D. m. Refusing to be made a puppet of the Pape group, E. O. Goss, president of the Scovill Manufacturing Company, dele gate to the city convention, did not appear. Rowley w. Phillips. an- other of the city delegates, also taH- ed to appear.
 Picked Slate Nominated
 The slate of candidates nomin- ated at last nights city, town and schoor conventions were:
 For Mayor, Major John M. Bur- rall.
 For City Clerk, stephen J. Whis- ton.

 Little broke Johnny's heart at the 512-yard 16th where Lawson was 20 feet from the cup with his second. Little dropped the putt for an eagle and Goodman, lying there, was credited with birdie four.
 Goodman Started Well
 John started well, spanking his approach within four feet of the cup at the first green and was one up. Little evened it with birdie at the second. He went one up at the third whereJohnny sliced into some trees and wasted shot in a trap.
 Little messed up the fourth. driving into a dense group of trees and it was even again.
 Lawson went ahead again on the short fifth where John was trapped and took three butts. From that point on, Little held the upper hand until they took time out for } lunch.
 Emery was having an easy time against the young Bostonian. Lynch is the dark horse of the round of four. He was visibly nervous. lighting one cigarette off another.

and the irrigation department station
o. W. MonS0n, extension irrigation and
drainage specialist. tells us that, with
out negotiating single loan or asking
any financial help whatsoever, farmers
have built or are constructing more
than 100 flood irrigation projects on
100 different Montana farms scattered
through the central and eastern part
Of the state.
From 10 to 100 acres will be irrigated
by each project and win produce, be-
sides eatables for the farmers family,
tons Of feed for his livestock. More
than 1000 acres were surveyed In 1884.
Many Of these projects involve build
ing earth dams by means Of which
water from melting snow in the spring
win be stored for use in irrigation Of
crops or as source of water for live
stock later in the season, says Monson
For some projects the natural flow Of
the creek is sufficient to supply ir-
rigation needs but they require dams
which will divert the amount needed
from the creek OF coulee.
This type Of dam, he explains, calls
for a different kind Of construction
from the storage dam but may be built
satisfactorily by farm labor. The diff
ference between these two types Of dam
Is that the storage dam is not designed
to Withstand any overflow, while q di-
version dam may allow excess water
to pass over it without danger Of wash
ing out. In addition to the dam to
divert water from the creek, this type
Of project requires construction Of
system of contour bitches TO distribute
water uniformly over the land.
Several projects did not provide a
good reservoir site nor was there 3
steady flowing creek conveniently near,
so water is conserved by using the soil
itself as the reservoir, according to the
specialist This is done by building q
series OF contour dikes over the field
to retain water from melting SHOWS un-
til frost goes out Of the ground, when
the water viii be absorbed by the soil
and thus later made available for grow
ing crops. A fairly heavy soil is cap
able Of absorbing the equivalent Of a
two-inch rainfall per foot depth Of soil.
A six-foot depth Of soil therefore has
storage capacity Of an acre-fo'ot Of
water for each acre Of land or, for
quarter section Of land, the storage
would be 100 acre feet.
Natural rainfall during the growing
season is rarely enough In Montana
to fill this large soil reservoir Never
theless, a great deal Of water is allow
ed to drain away from fields into creeks
and coulees and out Of the country.
Without special provision to hold pre-
cipitation on the land melting SHOWS

frozen. and heavy CIoudbursts Of the
summer win not be absorbed by the
soil. A system Of dikes win not only
prevent loss and waste Of water which
falls directly on the field, as rain or
SLOW, but catches runoff from other
fields and waste lands. In this way the
effective rainfall on cropped lands
may IN many cases be doubled.
Such small scale irrigation develop
ment. while inexpensive, has proved 10
be very profitable, Monson says. A few
days work during the slack season IN
preparing 10 control and regulate the
flood waters has paid literally, IN the
opinion Of farmers who have construct
ed such projects.
This type Of farm improvement de-
velops ingenuity and encourages the in
dependence Of the farmer. It offers
helpful, valuable way out for many
farm enterprises in these times OF
stress.
Land development is dependent on
water development That much land
is marginal because Of lack OF rainfall
has been definitely shown the last few
years. Nature cannot always be de-
pended on to supply moisture at such
times and in such quantities as to in
