Shades of Holland: Farmers Reclaim 600 Acres Of Bottom Land By Private Dikes By THERON H. LUKE What Hollanders have done for centuries, farmers bordering Utah lake have been forced to do because be-cause of a rising lake level and at least 600 acres of valuable farm land have been reclaimed or will be as a result of private diking projects. The spotlight for several weeks has been on the Provo airport diking operation, financed almost entirely by the government, but north of Provo river there exists a mile of dike bunt last tail by six farmers which has stood the test of the spring high water season sea-son and is now proving its worth and feasibility. Encouraged by the success of tbe private dike north of the river as a means of reclaiming re-claiming valuable flooded farm land, farmers south of the river between the lake harbor road and the Provo airport are now constructing: another barrier against the lake to reclaim several hun dred more acres. Six lakeshore farmers last fall constructed at their own expense about a mile of dike running from the boat harbor north. It cost $1500 ' and has reclaimed about 300 acres of valuable bottom bot-tom land, which made the reclaiming re-claiming cost about $5 an acre a decidedly profitable venture considering the fact that the land was practically worthless in its former state, with 100 acres completely com-pletely flooded and the rest bog ged by adjacent seepage. The men involved were Alfred, Bob and Charles Madsen, Glen Horton. Phil Edwards and Leonard Adams. The dike ran along the general lines of an old one put up about 1920 or 1921, which was washed out in the record high water year of 1922 when the lake soared soar-ed to three and a half feet above compromise, almost an even four feet higher than it now is. The dike north of the river still requires some pumping to throw out the drainage gathering back of It, but farmers far-mers say it is proving satisfactory satis-factory and holding against the high water peak, although it may require minor repairs annually. The county road, which leaves the boat harbor and travels on the north side of the river up to the lower Geneva road, is tem porarily blocked by the dike con- 3truction. When the latter is; completely finished, however, thej road will run on top of the dike for about 200 yards immediately north of the boat harbor. The private diking now in progress pro-gress south of the river, to con nect with the airport dike and reclaim land betwen the road and the airport, came about as a result re-sult of the federal diking project pro-ject on the latter. Farmers took advantage of machinery avail- able, plus the fact that they were greatly aided when it became WANTED Experienced Saleslady for Sportswear Department Manager Write Qualifications Provo P.

This is land owned chiefly by the Knudsen interests and It Is estimated that at least 300 acres and perhaps more may be reclaimed for farming farm-ing by the half mile or so of dike which will be necessary. Part of It was completely flooded this sprinr. creating the body of water immediately immediate-ly north of the airport known as Smith lake. This is the site of the city airport before it was moved south to Its present location. As was the condition north of the river, much land south of it not actually flooded has been rendered useless by seepage from the flooded part, and draining tbe Smith lake area in expected to reclaim considerable adjacent ground. Ground that has been flooded cannot be used immediately for crop purpose?, because of an al- kali condition caused by the flooding. This, however, will wash out In time through irrigation irriga-tion and the fertile bottom land can once again be put into production. prod-uction. It is believed to be a unique situation for the intermountain west, where' farmers supposedly living in the "high and dry" mountain region have to build dikes to keep their land from becoming be-coming a lake.
