A TIMELY TOPIC.

Resolved, That irrigation is beneficial
TO Ford eountv." The society proposing
find them important. In this section OF
Kansas irrigation Is the theme uppermost
in the minds of many of the people living
on the liue of the Arkansas river. Farm
ing without irrigation has in most years
proved failure. The successful raising
of crops at Garden CITY has induced the
extension of irlgating bitches to points
farther east. Irrigation companies have
been OF ganized in several counties east of
this point.
The discussion of the irrigation question
in n literary society may not profit irri>
CATION schemes. but there can be some
light thrown upon the subject which Will
prove of interest to those who partici-
pate in the deliber erations of the society.
A few of the members of the society are
deeply interested in the success OF irriga-
tiOn In Ford county. The discussion Of
the question will therefore prove advan>
tafeOus. and extend the topic among
those who might otherwise fail TO become
