GEN. CLARKE INTERVIEWED.
A reporter of the LIGHT called
upon General F. NJ. Clarke, the
chairman of the Texas Irrigation
commission, this morning, shortly
after his arrival from Fort Worth.
The general is practical irriga-
ton engineer, having constructed
one Of the largest systems Of irri-
CATION works in Colorado.
"What is the outlook for irriga-
ton in Texas?" asked the reporter,
"a most promising one, twas the
reply. "Texas has in the western
portion of her domain millions OF
acres that are now untitled for
agriculture by reason of a lack Of
rainfall, but there Is in this very
region an abundance OF water ap-
plicable for irrigation. 1t simply
needs the intelligent conservation
and application Of this water to
convert very large part Of the
dry plains into fruitful fields. r.
rigation is but little understood in
Texas. Too many people imagine
that huge floods are required. 1t
Is to discuss these matters, and
learn from experienced irrigators
how to properly proceed, that the
present convention has been
called. 1t is astonishing to the
novice what a small amount Of
water is required, if it be properly
used"
"You think then that sufficient
water can be found to successfully
irrigate the semi.arid lands in our
state"
"Not enough under present
modes OF use to irrigate the entire
area; but ample to make agricul-
ture very profitable over more
than half the area"
"What Is the present need"
"First, we want comprehensive
irrigation law, something like that
Of Colorado. When we have such
a law, capital will come here and
invest in the construction Of irri.
CATION works. We need state ir-
rigation engineer. We need good
state survey. Some expense will
have to be incurred by the state,
but when irrigation is practiced,
the revenues Of the state will be
increased by millions Of dollars"
"How do you like San Antonio?"
at is the progressive city of the
south. One little thing leads me
to this conclusion; your general
committee charged with the ar
rangements Of this convention
have done far better work
than / have found in the
larger metropolitan cities of
the west. Every detail has
been most carefully looked after;
and it is attention to the small de-
tails that brings success. Whenever
a city is on trial, her p: ogre ssive
spirit is shown by the way in
which such committees do their
work. This convention Is the first
of it's kind in the state. The
idea of irrigation is new one. 1t is
for the benefit OF the
whole state. San Antonio has
arisen with a true conception Of
the great possibilities and has
done splendid work. Her reward
will come, when in few years the
vast territory around her will be
covered with magnificent farms
bringing their products to her mar
