we'd rather devote three hours day

irrigation in Wyoming.

Irrigation is carried out on an extern
sive scale in Wyoming Territory.
Something like 1000, 600 acres of land
have recently been reclaimed and rem
dered fit for cultivation by means of
ordinary bitches, and official reports
estimate that not less than 1000, 900
acres more can be reclaimed in the
same way. 1t is also shown that not
less than 100000 acres in addition
can be redeemed by extraordinary
means-that is. by Il system of storage.
This would give Wyoming about r.
900, 900 acres that might be devoted to
agriculture. aside from the much
larger body of grazing land. There
are also supposed to be 1000, 900 acres
of coal lands. Congress at its last
session appropriated $3.50 900 to defray
the cost of surveys for storage reser-
voirs. Chicago Times.
