The Benefits of Irrigation.

Sixteen states and territories in our
country are under such climatic con.
ditions that irrigation is a necessity
for the cultivation of their crops and
the maintenance of green grass and
trees about their homesteads. Texas,
New Mexico, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Kansas west
OF the ninety-seyenth degree, Ne
braska, Wyoming, South Dakota,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho,
eastern Oregon, and eastern Washing
ton are all bound together by COM
mon interest and a common purpose in
the shape of irrigation. In many of
these states there are traces of canals
and bitches, the work Of old Spanish
explorers and of forgotten native
tribes. The grades of these prehis-
toric channels have been adopted in
many cases by modern irrigators.
Twenty years ago no one in America
had learned to utilize water on large
scale for irrigation. Lands where
there was little or no rainfall were
abandoned, but it will not be many
years before bad lands will become
an obsolete term. California has been
the leading western state to make use
of the benefits of irrigation, and
the miners there have long understood
the management of water. AS Mr..
Charles FL. Shinn says: ''They built
hundreds of miles of hydraulic mining
bitches, triumphs of engineering skill,
bringing whole rivers from the snow
peaks to the beds of gold-bearing
gravel below. They siphoned streams
over mountains; they belted their
fumes in mid-air to perpendicular
cliffs of granite thousand feet from
base to crest; they changed little AL
pine valleys into mountain lakes.
Such men as these find it only child's
play to water their hillside gardens, to
wall up the flats by mountain
streams and food them SO that the
white clover or alfalfa keeps green
there all the year" The mar
velous change that has been eff
fected in such places as the Kern
region, the Riverside colony, and the
San Joaquin valley show the infinite
possibilities of these arid lands. So
far the irrigators have been private
owners or corporations, but it is a
question that the people of these states
should consider, what their duties are
with respect to irrigation, and whether
the control of this all important water
supply shall not be in the control of
the state or federal government.
