APPLICATIONS FOR 1951
SWINE PROGRAM FOR
4-H CLUB MEMBERS
BEING ACCEPTED
Applications are now being

Nelson, County Agent for Ken-
dall County, for participation by
Club members in the 1951 Swine
Production Program in this
County.
Members or prospective mem-
bers must have reached their
ninth birthday to be eligible, and

birthday, since this program
extends in to the second year.
The program is sponsored
jointly by the Texas Extension
Service and the Sears Founda-
tion'. The latter supplies prem-
iums, pays for replacement ani-
mals, and assumes full financial
responsibility, while the actual
operation of the program is un-
der supervision of the County
Agent and an advisory commit-
tee in the County. Records for
the Swine Production Program
in Kendall County for the past
10 years show that the Sears
Foundation has expended from
$135 to $28j) annually. At the
present time there are Four Club
members who received gilts in
1950. These gilts have all far-
rowed, and selections of gilts will
be made from these litters for
distribution about the first of
May.
Each year there are applica-
tions from Club members who
reside in town. The Sears Com-
mittee has asked that these ap-
plications be turned down, so
that there wil be no complaints
from near neighbors. It will al-
so be necessary that from one-
fourth to on-ehalf acre be avail-
able for either temporary or per-
manent pasture for the gilt, and
that the new owner be in good
shape to feed the gilt properly,
under supervision of the County
Agent.

pective Club members, who wish
to learn more about the whole
Swine Production Program

CANYON DAM SEEN
AS PROBABLE IN NEAR
FUTURE BY ENGINEERS
“The construction of the Con-
yon Dam and Reservoir at an
early date is considered advia-
able,” wrote Lt. Col. Wright
Hiatt ( deputy chief of Civil
Works for Flood Control, Corps
of Engineers.
Col. Hiatt included the state-
ment in a letter to Don Mathews
manager of the Chamber of
Commerce. It was written in
reply to the question, “What has
happened to the Canyon Dam
project?”
Earlier in March, the federal
givernment authorized the con-
struction of the Gonzales Reser-
voir project on the lower San
Marcos River for flood control
at a cost of $18,836,700. z
In the report, no mention was
made of the proposed Canyon
Dam on the Milner Ranch north
west of New Braunfels near Sat-
tler on the uGadalupe River. So,
Mathews wanted to know the
reason for the omission.
Hiatt, in his reply, stated
that Conyon Dam has been auth
orized in 1945 by the River and
Harbor Act of March 2, 1945,
“in the interest of stream-flow
regulation, hydro-electric pow-
er generation, flood control, and
other purposes.”
“Up to this time, however,
\yrote Hiatt, “no funds have been
appropriated by Congress for
that purpose.”
The “early date” mentioned,
may be before 1955. In the same
communication, Hiatt wrote:
“The Federal Power Commis-
sion estimates that the area in
question, by 1955, will have a
peak power consumption re-
quirement some 100,000 KW in
excess of the available sources.
The Canyon Dam and Reservoir
will accrue from regulation of
existing and potential hydro-
plants on the Guadalupe below
New Braunfels.”
Hiatt indicated the project
was nearing its last stages of
planning.
“Our District Engineer at Ft.
Worth, under the direction of
the Division Engineer of our
Southwestern Division, has pro-
ceeded with advance planning to
provide a definite basis for pre-
paration of final detailed plans
and specifications for the auth-
orized improvements.”
The proj ect, both the dam and
reservoir, when constructed,
said Hiatt, will affard flood pro-
tection for about 157,250 acres
of land in the Guadalupe River
basin including portions of the
towns of Victoria, Cuero, Gon-
zales, Seguin, and New Braun-
fels, and substantial increase in
the low-water flow of the Gua-
dalupe River below the dam site.
Construction of the Canyon
Dam and Reservoir at an early
date is considered advisable,”
wrote Col. Hiatt, “in view of the
prabability of excessive proper-
ty damage and loss of life in the
Guadalupe River flood plains
below the dam site from recur-
rences of expected floods, the
probable future shortage of pow
er in the region and the need
for an increased low-water flow
in the lower Guadalupe River in
the interest of rice irrigation
and industrial expansion,” wrote
Col. Hiatt.
The original recommendations
of the Corps of Engineers are
contained in House Document
247, 76th Congress. — New
Braunfels Herald.
