America'* Firtt Anartments The famous cliff dwellings of Mesa Verde national park, Colo., represent America's first apart ment houses, having been built be tween 1230 and 1274. Hundreds of years ago the Indians had to aban don the cliff dwellings when a great drouth struck. The Ute legend la that once the cliff dwellers were aadmals. living inside the earth. They climbed to the upper world on ? giant corn stalk made to grow bgrthe Life Force and the Rain. Up m reaching the surface they at tained the form of human beings; afterwards they celebrated their deliverance in underground kivas, clothing themselves in skins to re semble their ancestors. When the 'Indians started building their dwellings above ground, the legend goes, the goda were displeased, withheld the ram and brought on the drouth. Damage by Pecan La., .?

The damage is most evident when yaean trees set a light nut crop hot may also be severe in heavy crop years. In exceptionally heavy crop years the damage may be more than offset by a beneficial Atoning effect due to the destruc tion of a portion of the nuts. ?
