WELLER (Asscciated Press’ Farm Editor) WASHINGTON, Jan, 19.— Boulder Dam ill awaiting rati- fication by six States bordering on the Colorado River, will make ble within eight years to yme barriers the turbulent d a riculture over §! 3 of Cali- fornia land long before America was known to the rest of the world. In that distant day the Gulf of California extended to the foot- hills of the Sierra Nevadas. On the east, the Colorado thundered; to the sea with its mountainous burden of silt-—sand and gravel} cut from canyon walls hundreds of. miles farther nopgh. Below Yuma and the Mexican. border it| started piling silt into the gulf, During the ages that followed, the segregated water evaporated, ley of California, thousands of jacres of sand-blown, arid land. The Colorado still flowed menac- ingly on the east, high above the| valley. Settlers trickled into the val-| ley, tapping the Colorado with canals to obtain water for their crops and 1i ock. In 1906, the river broke through its banks at flood stage and poured into the Salton Sea. To relieve the haz. ard, the Government built La. zuna dam north of Yu and ir; rigated hundreds of acres in Ari- zona. A private corporation contract- ed for water, and carried it around the rim of the valley, through Mexico and back into the valley by the Imperial canal,| allowing Mexico half of the wat-! er for that Government’s . con- cessions. acres of the valley's arid land had been irrigated and 60,000 people went to live there. Their first important crop was barley, then alfalfa—which still is grown extensively for feeding livestock —and later dates, c’trus fruits and truck crops. The valley now ships 55,000 carloads of can- teloupes and 35,000 carloads cf lettuce to market every year be- pore olher regions are ready for harvest. As ,the irrigated territory spread, the water supply, cut in half by agreement with Mexico, became inadequate. In 1918 the flow fell to 1,300 cubic feet a second, whereas from 5,000 to 6,- 000 is necessary, and the valley lost $6,000,000 worth of crops. Added to that is the constant hattle to keep the Colorado with- in bounds and to cart away, at a cost of $1,000,000 a year, silt deposits that average 100,000} acre feet annually and often are 'piled 10 feet high on canal banks after dredging. ) Boulder dam, to be erected hundreds of miles away in Black canyon, will catch the silt behind its 550-font wall of concrete.

SINPSON WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Just what part did the beard of von Tirpitz play in the World War? Everybody remembers it.. That huge, black, shovel-shaped, pirat- ly migsed a week in the war- time rotogravure sections.

" MAIL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION: TO THE SECRETARY TODAY unean Chanber of Commerce tation treaty of 1921-22. The single post-Jutland, 16- inch gun, Japanese battleship inow afloat, the Mutsui, was built largely by popular subscription. It was slated for scrapping under “a popular character (largey on account of his aggresiveness and his beard)” Gerard said, great influence, while von {kenhayn, general staff head and a courtier, had the ear. “The chanceller hores the Em- peror to death,” the Ambassador added. A comment by President Wil- son at the time on this message, July 29, 1915, characterized the “‘detailed revelation of the whole German state of mind” it gave as “little less than amazing.” Gerard sald he was satisfied Germany's war methods, inelud- ing the sinking of the Lusitania |nad the *‘full approval” of the German people. He commented also ¢n the ‘‘very effective press !bureau” of the marine ministry lunder von Tirpitzz. Now, as the | Bystander recalls it, the chiet work before the war of that be- whiskered leader was the organi- zation of a popular navy league designed to make Germany ship- | minded and therefore complacent toward heavily increased - naval building programs. Up to 1915, at least, he was apparently en- tirely successful. Influence On Navies England’s naval prestige rests on the shipmindedness of an in- sular population. Japan recog- nized the essential value of this popular attitude when she started the naval building program tread- ing so closely on the heels of the huge Ameérican 1916 naval ex- with Fal- emperor’s the American limitation program, but Admiral Kato and his col- leagues dared not risk popular displeasure. Théy saved the Mut- sul by accepting the American West Virginia and the British Nelson and. Rodney. Those five ships represent sub- stantially a quarter of a billion in post-war construction. Pos- sibly, also, they are a product, in a way, of von Tirpitz’ beard. e BAGSHAW FIGHT AT STANDSTILL SEATTLE, Jan. 19.—The fight over Enoch Bagshaw whose vir- tual ouster as football coach at the University of Washington was ordered yesterday by the Student | Board ‘of Control, is at a stand- still.
