A Great Experiment.

One of the most important, and yet
one of the least noticed, measures
adopted by the present congress at
its recent session embarks the United
States, indirectly, in the work Of re-
claiming arid lands by means of irri-
CATION.
The reason why so little attention
has been paid to this measure is,
probably, that it was not passed as
separate bill, but as an amendment
10 an appropriation bill. Every one
objects to the principle Of forcing
though congress, by attaching to APP
preparation bills-which must be
passed-bills which are not likely to
be enacted on their own merits. But
some good, and not a few bad, laws
were placed on the statute book in
this way.
The measure now referred TO gives
to each of the thirteen states and two
territories so much desert land, not
exceeding 1,0OO,O 900 acres, as it may
irrlgate, reclaim and cause to be occu-
pied by actual settlers.
The government, therefore, does
not actually go into the work of irri-
CATION on its own account, but by
giving away possibly 100000 acres
of land, it practically subsidies an
attempt on the part Of the states in
ard region to make these now desert
tracts the home of a great number Of
people.
Amy state which intends to accept
the terms of the donation must file a
map, to be approved by the Secretary
of the Interior, showing the land
which it proposes to irrigate. When
the tract of land has been reclaimed,
and at least 20 acres Of each 100
acres has been cultivated by actual
settlers, the area irrigated, up to the
limit of 100000 acres, is to be
granted to the state.
The surplus remaining from the
sale of reclaimed land, after the state
has been reimbursed for its expendi.
ture, is to become a trust fund to be
used in retaining other desert land
These provisions are intended 20
protect the government, and prevent
the absorption of land by private per
sons or corporations, for purposes Of
speculation, which has been found to
be possible under the swamp and DIES.
ert land acts heretofore passed BY
congress.
The government has thus given TO
each state in the arid region an i'm

mense domain, ia the hope OF proVld'
ing independent homes for many
thousands OF settlers. All the land
in this region which can be cultivated
without irrigation, or by such irriga-
ton as the settler himself can supply
has Eow been occupied.
No system Of irrigation has eve
been undertaken in this country by
the general government or by =
state. All that has been done has
been accomplished by private enter.
prise-commonly by corporations or
ganized for the purpose. This sys
tenn, with water taken from the how-
lug rivers, has opened to profitable
cultivation a great deal Of land which
would otherwise have remained DIES
ert.
But it is not practicable for private
enterprise to consummate y really ex-
tensiye system Of irrigation, because
such a system would call foI more
water than the dow Of rivers supplies,
and would involve the construction Of
great reservoirs in the mountains to
catch and hold the heaviest rains and
the melting SHOWS Of spring, and
supply vast regions with the boarded
water as it Is needed.
Such system calls for large APP
preparations from the general gov.
eminent or from states. The present
action Of congress is looked upon as
an experiment, which, II II succeeds,
may lie adj to a systematic irrigation
BY the general government OF the
lands remaining IN It's possession.
It is estimated by the late head OF
the United States geological survey
that there are at least 10000, 900
acres which could readily be irrigated
and made productive BY a general
system. The extent OF irrigable
lands may be much greater than this.
Ordinarily the farms into which irri.
gated lands are subdiyided are not
larger in extent than so acres. As
Stunning that they would be as larg,
as this, such a system will provide
homes and support for 500, 900 fam
ilies.-Youth's Companion.
