in behalf OF the just demands Of Kansas,
saying that this movement will never
pause until it triumphs in legislation.
"Then," he said, "We are ready for the
new century and the new civilization"
Clark Carr, ex.minister to Denmark,
believed in irrigation for the reason that
il would favor small holdings and a
larger population. He wanted the gov
ernment to demonstrate the practics-
bility Of irrigsting western Kansas and
capital would be interested.
"Pro6ts From Irrigation in Western
Kansas" was the subject of an address
by W. r. Hopkins, of Garden City. Mr..
Hopkins commenced by expressing the
opinion that the government should be
called upon to go into the irrigation
business In Kansas. He said that it was
not psternslism and that if it was, then
the government was guilty Of paternsl-
ism when it voted millions of dollars to
proteCt and reclaim lands along the
lower Mississippi river. He said that
the government disposed of western Kan
sas for farming purposes and obtained
no less than 100000 in money for
them. He thought that the government
should spend q part of this money to
make their pretense good that the terri
tory in question was agricultural land.
He had no patience with the men who
said they wanted no aid from the gov
eminent. After freely expressing him
self on this subject he went on to illus
trste the profits that have accrued to
farmers in his county from the irrigation
Of small quantities Of their lands. These
profits were enormous, but Mr.. Hopkins
vouChsd for the truth OF every statement
he made. He showed where one farmer
irrigated ten acres at cost Of only 5000,
and the alfalfa seed alone sold from the
land thus irrigated, netted him $35 per
acre.
The convention wound up with an
illustrated irrigation lecture by w. Fl.
Holsbird, of Kerns county, California,
who showed by stereOptician views the
result of irrigation on the Pacific slope.
He first produced views Of the places
when they were barren, and afterwards
produced views of the same places after
irrigation. The lecture was very instruc-
tive and the views produced were srtis-
tic and elicited the admiration of the
large audience present.

IRRIGATION.

The irrigation convention held in
Wichita last week was OF more interest
than it's most enthusiastic friends an
ticipsted. It is doubtful If an audience
in Kansas ever gave closer attention to
the participants. "It is the largest irri.
CATION convention ever held in this Coun-
try" says Major Powell, Of the United
States geological survey, and others ex-
press themselves similarly. Two hun
drsd and fifty delegates, representing
every state and territory west Of the Mis-
souri, were present. This is the fourth
Of the interstate series. similar Conven-
tions having lately been held at Sslins,
Dsming and Los Angeles.
The delegates we're largely the practi-
cal and progressive farmers Of western
Kansas and the arid region beyond, in-
terspersed with men eminent for their
knowledge in engineering and the scien-
ces. The politician, sCenting an Oppor-
tunity from afRr, was there to identify
himself with the movement and feel the
tempsr Of the people.
Every phase Of the question was ably
discussed and the complete proceedings
will be issued in pamphlet form that can
probably be furnished applicants by
Secretary z. B. Cowgirl, Of Topeka, when
published. It is impossible to give any
condensed report Of the score Of vslus-
bic papers and speeches and do justice
to them. The eloquent address Of well
come by Mayor Cox was responded to by
D. M. Frost, president Of the assOcia-
tion, in flowery speech, referring to
Wichita, the objects and Importance Of
the meeting and the duties Of the state
and national governments in assisting in
watering large area Of the west.
"In Arid Kansas and the Way Out"
was discussed by H. V. Hinkley, resi-
dent engineer Of the Santa Fe at To-
peks' He wants assistance from the
state, state engineer and irrigation de-
pRrtment.
II. L. Jackson, city engineer Of Wich-
ita, favored the storage in reservoirs Of
the rsinwAters, and believes the evapora-
tion would moisten the atmosphere and
cause precipitation Of rain.
"Where Are You Going to Get the
WaterS was ably discussed by L. Bald
win, Of Great Bend, an intelligent and
experienced irrigStionist. He declared
that the great plains constituted the
grand avenue or main street across the
center Of the country along which the
warm southern winds and the cool
northern winds were forever passing and
repassing. He said that there was sufi-
cient water under its wide strata to food
the whole region. He also declared that
water could be procured from the great
SHOWS and condensation in the noun
tAins, and when the volume Of water is
greatest, it should not be allowed to 60
to waste, but should be stored up. He
called mountains the true rsinmaksrs.
He proposed to store up the great vol
umes Of water which come from the
mountains at certain seasons, by rum
ming q canal from the Missouri river
southwark along the plains, and to store
the waste Of liquid into reservoirs, dams
and artificial lakes. We not only intend
to irrigate the earth, but also the sky.
Notwithstanding, Mr.. Baldwin said, that
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-11-29

Of the Kansas Farmer, were reelected
president and secretary respectively.
Major Powell is q member Of the geo.
logical coast survey, Of Washington, and
brings much light to the subject. He
believes irrigation to be entirely feasible
at much less expense than in Europe and
Asia. To make agriculture pay, such
crops must be raised ss will yield the
greatest value per acre. The irrigated
lands are better adapted to the growth
Of orchards, vineyards, gardens, hay
yard, tobacco and cotton fields. The
great valleys of the orient. as the Nile
and the Poe, are not more Rsvorsbly stu
ated than the valleys Of Kansas; and the
grsnsries Of the plains can successfully
compete with the grsnsries of the Old
World. ALI the lands in western Kansas
cannot be irrigated; in no arid country
in the world can more than 10 per cent.
of the land be irrigated. The catchment
area must always be at least ten times as
great as the irrigated area. 1t must
sometimes be twenty and even fifty times
the irrigated areas, so that your condi-
tions in Kansas are much like those Of
other lends. When lands are once re-
deemed and placed under scientific man
agement by the utilization Of water,
most prosperous and bountiful homes
are fdevsloped. Irrigation civilization
must necessarily be Of the highest char
acter, and happy are the people who con-
troll the waters for themselves and who
do not supinely wait upon tickle laws Of
climate.
B. A. McAllister, commissioner OF the
Union Pacific railway, cited many in
stances to show that a good irrigRting
pump and windmill will water acres Of
land.
II. W. Lewis demanded government
aid, III. r. Hilton favored the convention
with q scientific discussion on "How
Different Soils Absorb and Retain Mois-
ture."
W. E. Smythe, Of the Irrigator Age,
made one Of the most impressive sd-
dresses. He said: "We have reached
the point where it becomes a problem Of
institutions and civilization. 1t now in
wolves the destinies OF states, the future
Of national expansion and the outwork-
ing OF the best possibilities Of humanity
itself" He sketched the broad outlines
Of. the irrigation idea from the industrial
and social standpoint. Coming to the
irrigation problem Of the semi-srid
region, which this convention had been
called to consider, the speaker insisted
that nothing but patient investigation
and persistent agitation would relieve
the situation Of the thousands Of fRmi-
lies in the semi-arid belt The "semi-
starvation belt is q more appropriate
term," he said. He earnestly advocated
the creation Of state engineers office in
Kansas, and then presented two import
ant resolutions bearing upon the semi
arid region, that was passed at Los
Angeles. One of them demands that
the government shall expend money for
investigations, and the other strongly
asserts that all interstate streams must
be divided squitsbly among the several
states by federal authority. In closing
he described the work of the state COM
missions which were created by the Los

hydraulic engineer Of TOpeka. He il.
lustrRted the elevation and surface Of
western Kansas by chart.
"TJnderhow and Individual Irrigation" {"
by Superintendent Harding Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, was one Of the most con-
else, practical papers presented. He has
sunk wells, and erected tanks from
Denver to the Missouri river at distances
Of twenty miles apart. He said that the
company found by it's system Of wells,
the underAOw inexhRustsbls and procur-
able at depth Of from sixty TO 700 iest.
He said that some scientific men claimed
that the underfow Of water existed only
at q certain level; he claimed this to be
q mistake and cited numerous instances
in his own experience to prove his Rsser-
tion. He said water passed under the
surface of the earth at various depths,
and gave an instance in Texas, whore, in
q rsvine, a well was sunk over 100 feet
and no water found, while q well bored
in an adjacent hill forty feet higher q
we'll was sunk q less depth and an inn
mense sheet Of wstsr found. He said
that his theory was that the underfOw
water followed the natural surface Of the
ground and it carried on itS natural flow
on the Byphon principle. He advanced
the idea that q committee Of the conven-
tiOn should be appointed to prepare res
olutions to be submitted to congress
asking for aid TO the extent Of making
q complete survey Of the arid regions Of
Kansas FOR the purpose Of asCsrtainiDg
how the lands in this arid regions could
best be irrigated and at what cost. He
thought that should all other means Of
irrigation fail the farmers could resort
to wind pumps, suggesting that Kansas
never fails to produce zepher capable
Of lifting water from the underAow to
the surface He thought by windmills
the water could be pumped into tanks
and from there carried by pipes and
dltOhes to the places desiring irrigation.
This system is inexpensive and effective,
and can be prosecuted by nearly every
farmer for q cost not to exceed 81 per
acre per year, or 811S cents per acre per
month, as each mill will furnish one inch
OF water for every two acres Of ground
daily. This with the natural prscipita-
tion would furnish one inch Of water at
least for 100 acres Of land each month.
1t is impossible in a limited space to do
justice to Mr.. Harding's paper, a. it is q
solid mass Of argument and information
from beginning to end. His idea, how
ever, ia under the circumstances existing
to have the farmers adopt the windmill
and tank system, Ss most Of them are
already supplied with that means Of lift
ing water to the surface.
Robert Hay, state geologist, favored
the general draining of the small streams
at short distances, thus raising the level
Of the water IN the streams and holding
it for absorption by the lands bordering
the streams. He cited several instances
in Decatur county Of this method prov
ing very successful, and illustrated the
plan with charts showing how the water,
raised in the stream by dam, finds an
underAow through the adjacent land.

state board Of agriculture, favored sub
