STARVING HORSES GNAW
OFF NAMES AND TAILS

Several tragic stories of domestic
livestock and wild animals perish
ing of cold and starvation in the
recent deep SHOWS, have come to
light in Northern Arizona.
Most heartrending of these stories
in that of 21 horses that were
trapped by snow in a deep canyon
northeast of Flagstaff. 8 In their
deportation they gnawed the names
and talts of each other, until two
thirds of them had died.
After the snow began to melt,
one of the horses turned up at a
ranch, barely able to stand. 1t was
back-tracked to the canyon where
six others were found just alive,
fourteen dead. Not one of the liv-
ing or dead animals had a shred
of name or tail left. One colt was
SO maddened that it was tearing
flesh from the carcasses. 1t is
thought unlikely that the survivors
will ever recover from their ordeal
A homesteader named E. A.
Brown owned the unfortunate
horses. Arizona Producer.

Senator's first visit to an irrigation
project and he was favorably i'm
pressed with the San Carlos Project.
He said he would return for a more
intensive examination of the pro-
ject with other members Of the ap-
preparation committee at a later
date. g;
"The Senator was picked up at
Tucson and first visited the Casa
Grande district, then taken through
parts of the Pima Reservation lands
near Sacaton and east through the
Coolidge district Lunch was had
at the Waikiki Inn with the directors
Of the San Carlos district and with
President Orme, Supt Lawson and
Attorney Gregg Scott of the Salt
River Valley Water Users AS
sociation. After lunch the trip was
continued east through the Coo
lidge district to Florence. After
talking with the directors at the
district office in Florence, the
senator was taken on to- Phoenix
and the Salt River project by the
association officials.
1.-The Senator expressed his
pleasure at the agricultural develop
ment of the project He said the
crop insurance afforded by irriga-
tion probably was better than any
proposed plan for such insurance.
He was favorably impressed with
the small land holdings of the pro-
ject which worked against land
speculation and allowed the new
corners to get land at reasonable
prices. He believes that "a plan lie
is proposing for action by Congress
to place farm tenants on land as
owners may work out to add new
farmers to projects that offer the
opportunities available on the San
Carlos Project. He thinks there
is room for a lot of farmers who are
being driven out of the drouth
stricken sections to find homes
here.
"The Senator favors appropria-
ton for the construction Of addition
al storage reservoirs to make the
water supply secure for projects as
favorably located and with as good
prospects for success as he found
on the San Carlos Project"

is being pushed into the strata
above where there is no pressure.
Jack Prefer, Jr., has a new well
about four miles west that is 900
feet deep, and the water rose even
higher in it. He did not make the
error of perforating into strata
where there is no pressure.
Old Stream Channel
1t is certain that there is a strong
underground flow of water along
an ancient and now well covered
river bed, north under the Eloy dis
trict and then curving westward.
Casa Grande, twelve miles north
west of Eloy, is over it. A short
distance west of Casa Grande, water
is found at depths as shallow. as
sixteen feet. Depth decreases as
the underkround stream approaches
the Gila.
So far, nothing has happened to
indicate that this supply is not in
eXhaustible. The water table has
nowhere been lowered and the
general belief is that it can stand
much heavier draft without being
lowered to any appreciable extent.
The Pomon Paump Co., which has
sold seventy pumps on terms in
the last fourteen months, apparent
ly has no fears. A good many wells
have also been equipped by the
] Peerless Pump Co.
Cost OF a we'll, with pump and all
necessary electrical equipment, runs
from $4,000 to $4,000, according
to depth. The investment in new
transmission lines to supply the
pumps is no trifling matter. Most
OF these lines have been built by
Pinal County Electrical District No.
4, which embraces the Eloy area.
! -Four OF five of the new pumps
are in the Greene Reservoir section,
twelve miles south and seven miles
west of ElOy. Others are strung out
from there almost to Coolidge. and
few are west of Casa Grande. The
+ majority, however, are within a
stretch of seven miles south from
Eloy
With maybe one OF two excep-
tlons, these new plants are to ir-
r1gate cotton. An Arizona Producer
investigator kept hearing rumors of
acreage going into grain or alfalfa,
but was able to confirm only one.
Last fall E. w. Hogue, dairyman,
put in a we'll and pump at his place
in the Sasco section south of Red
Rock, to grow feed for his cows.
With the help of County Agent
K. K. Henness, A Van Wagenen and
other Pinal residents, the Producer
was able to draw up the following
