Construction of this power line was almost as audacious building build-ing the giant dam itself, or building build-ing the long aqueduct that will carry water from the dam to southern California.

Needless to say. no ordinary line of "light poles'' would carry any such load fnem the potential horsepower of 1.835,000 being built into Boulder dam Towers Cross Desert ' Instead, skilfully braced towers ' of steel maich across the desert j and the mountains. They are from 800 to 1000 feet apart. They ! stand 10i feet high and are 65 ' feet wide j Two rows of these steel towers ; run parallel for the first 230 miles, from the dam to Cajon Pass in California. For the remaining 40 miles a single line of sttel towers, each 144 feet high as high as a ' 12 story building carries the load. It took 26.457 tons of stiuc-tural stiuc-tural steel to build the towers. Naturally, they do not follow the regular- roads. They cut straight across country. So more than ,200 miles of new road had to be built for construction and maintenance. Through burning deserts anil over- rugged mountains moun-tains the new roads followed the rising towers. But the towers were not the only problem. An electric current cur-rent carrying 275,000 volts is a tricky and capricious thing. It will jump a 30-inch gap, for instance. in-stance. It tends to dissipate itself! and get lost in the air somehow. Tubes Carry Current So exhaustive studies had to be made to find a "wire" that would! carry such cur rent. Finally a copper cop-per tube, made of interlocking j spiral .segments, was developed. It j is 1 1 inches in diameter-, and, tests rndicate (hat it will success- ' fully carry the tremendous dec- ' tncal "pressure." Even so, the; resistance knocks off some 10.000 i volts before the electricity is de- livrred in California.

It consists of almost 1000 miles of wire strung along the topmost points of the towers and running down to be buried 36 inches deep at the foot of each'tower. This whole "lightning-rod" system sys-tem is interconnected. For if a bolt of lightning were led down a single tower into the ground beneath be-neath it, the tendency would be for- the bolt to be turned back by the small ground area at the base of the tower, and probably form an arc across the insulators. That would put the line out of commis- j sion for long periods. Shock Is Distributed j But with a long interconnected' system of a "single lightning-rod," i the shock is distributed, led into I the ground at many points, and minimized. The "rod" will in- sianiry dissipate io,iaa,wu hiu of a 16,000. OOO-volt discharge of! lightning. The insulators and the conductors are designed to with- j stand the rest. i Carrying this "lightning-rod" and the 1626 miles of current-bear- j ing cable are 254.000 porcelain in-! sulators, 10 inches or more in , diameter. Each of the 2800 tow- j ers is thus protected. i The electricity will flow directly ! into this system from the great U-shaped powerhouse on the downstream side of Boulder dam. Water from the lake behind the dam will enter four intake towers flow through tunnels around the dam, and out through the powerhouse, power-house, where its tremendous force will turn the generators now being be-ing installed.

Agent Indications young trees this spring, farmers who are that many atfe being planted In the past many have planted trees have not known how to start them properly and have learned through experience that the first - few years of the trees life is the period which determines whether cr net it will be a profitable tree. In many cases young orchards which seemed to the casual cas-ual observer to oe in first class condition have been so broken down and diseased after the first two or three years of production as to be practically worthies?. This condition in every case is a result of improper pruning and training during the first four to six years of the orchard's life. It is recommended that growers who are starting young orchards visit several orchards of producing produc-ing age. Note the condition of the trees. Pay special attention to the strength or weakness of the crotches, and note the position of the limbs and the angle of the crotches in those trees that are in especially good condition and contrast these trees with those which show limb breakage. As you go tliiougn the orchards, keep these points in mind. 1. The open-center type of pruning prun-ing is that type wherein all the limbs leave the trunk at about the same point spreading outward in all directions leaving the center cen-ter hollow or open. This is the ideal type of pruning for permitting permit-ting light to ali parts of the tree, but since the strain of the crop weight comes at one point on the trunk of the tree, severe breakage is sure to result. Avoid this type of pruning. 2. The leader type of pruning is that type in which the center limb or trunk of the tree is permitted per-mitted to grow and limbs branch out from it over a distance cf several sev-eral feet. Too much shading results re-sults from this type of pruning. 3. The modified leader or modi fied open-center type of pruning ; is that type which is a compromise compro-mise between the two types above. This system permits the trunk to grow to a height of two and a half or three feet with limbs branching out six to ten inches apart and uistiibuted around the trunk in such a manner man-ner as to have uie greatest po: O SMART TO BE THRIFTY' sible distance between limbs on the same side ef the tree and still have six or eight good branchtis. This type of pruning is an ideal to work toward. If the trees are properly pruned during the first few years, the pruning prob;om later on will be much less a problem than if trees are neglected while young. We invite you to visit the county office for further advice and shall be glad to come into your orchard and give suggestions at any time. Cold from France NEW YORK.
