THE DP.AMA OF THE COLORADO
The Colorado is the most dramatic
of American rivers perhaps, if you
put prophecy ahead erf history of all
rivers.. Given time, which railroads
and the swift advance of population
have elenied, it might have produced
a civilization as different from that
of its neighbor, the Mississippi, as
that of the Mississippi is from the
cultures of the Danube and the
Rhine.. From its inception fourteen
thousand feet above the sea. thru its
flaming mile-deep canyons and along
its swollen delta, where it has laid
down three hundred feet of fabulous
ly rich soil, it is a stream with a
pulse and personality peculiar to
itself. It is the product of a region of
abrupt contrasts of flowing water
in an arid land, of monumental rocke
and plunging chasms, of flashing fu
turistic colors. It has none of the
classicism of the Hudson - or the
Potomac; it was carved and painted
long ago, by some society of inde
pendent artists who did not work by
precedent. The magic is not wholly
out of it even now. Even now it may
be capable, despite the transcontin
ental railways and highways, which
send travel across the river valleys
instead of up and down them, despite,
also, the motion picture, the radio
and the popular magazine, of laying
a spell upon a race of men. It may
give a new rhythm to their dances a
new cadence to their songs, a new
boldness of line and color to their
art. For one cannot think of a pop
ulation in the valley of the Colorano
as serving purely materialistic gods,
or sentencing themselves to a dour
Puritanism.
The Colorado is capricious and full
of wild humor. Its average flow, be
low the Grand Canyon, is about 20.-
000 second-feet, yet there is good
evidence that in time of flood it has
sent down as much as 500,000 second-feet
an increase of 2,500 per
cent. When a flood of even a third of
this volume emerges upon the tlelta.
augmented by the waters of the Gila,
the ranchers in the Imperial, the Coa-
chella and the Palo Verde have cause
to tremble. Thruout its lower course
the river bestrides a great hogback
of silt, which it is raising at the rate
of a foot a year and which is now
nearly eighty feet above sea .level
and from one hundred to three hun
dred feet above the level of the
Imperial valley. In 1905 it broke
thru a temporary irrigation intake
and flowed for eighteen months into
the Salton sea. Had this deluge con
tinued, or if it were to reoccur, the
river would drown out, probably for
the life oZ this generation, yo per
cent of the Imperial's 350,000 acres
of cultivated land. "It is a great
devilfish," said on Californian, tes
tifying last jear before a congres
sional committee, "reaching over in
to the Imperial valley and trying
every way to get there. It nips a
jocose tentacle and wipes out the
life work of thousands of human
ants, in ten, fifteen or twenty-five
years, according to chance and the
temperament of the engineer who
makes the estimate, it will again em
erge from its bed and menace the val
ley lands. This is one reason, and
the most imminent one, for the pro
posals now pending in congress lor a

heat and drouth has injured corn in
some parts of the state A. E. Ander
son, state and leileral crop statistic
ian, reports. Part of the corn has
begun to tassel, while yields vary
greatly and may not meet expecta- j

are reported light, with pasture very
short in eastern sections of the state,
heat and drouth in sections having
little rainfall this month." the re
in sections having a fair!
amount of rainfall, the crop is still
very promising. Corn began to tgsel
thruout most of the eastern half of
the state last week and needs abund
ant moisture for the next three weeks
at least.
"Winter wheat yields vary ex
tremely. Considerable threshing has
been done and many yields are very
low while semie are high. The aver-
age may fall somewhat short of pre
vious expectations unless all of the
western sections come up to predic
tions. Farmers r.re not eager to
market wheat.
"Spring grains are very light thru
eut the southern half of the state.
Conditions are much better in the
northern half of the state, however.
I There was a considerable increase in
oats in the southern half of the state
j due to replacement of abandoned
winter wheat and generally this area
is turning out poor yields.
"Pastures are very short in east
ern Nebraska, but generally very
good in the western portion of the
state, particularly in the northwest
quarter.
"The elry weather is affecting ad
versely the third crop of alfalfa over
much of the state. The first two crops
were lighter than usual, and with the
poor prospects for the third crop, it
appears that the alfalfa hay crop will
be much shorter than usual."
