Two New Lime Varieties Promising Commercial Use
New lime varieties developed by the department of agriculture include the Palmetto, a small nearly seedless lime with early maturity and uniform size, and the Everglade, a larger elliptical lime with higher fruit content. Also described is the Morton sour orange hybrid for dessert use and lemonade style drinks, noted for hardiness and potential cost advantages. Pineapples are shown to bear in four years with superior flavor, suggesting seed propagation could revive older varieties and improve tasting fruit.

Dam on the Colorado River Stirs Irrigation Debate
The St Louis Post-Dispatch reports plans for the future Guaduda dam twelve miles above Yuma Arizona to hold the Colorado River in bondage. The government aims to complete a 4800 foot long concrete barrier in two years, weighing about 600000 tons and anchored in mountain walls to confine the river. It would irrigate 100000 acres of bottom land in drought and could crowd floodwaters over the dam during high flows.
