Garden City (Kansas) Imprint: E. K. Hoch of Topeka, who has recently been out in Western Kansas making speeches for the republican state ticket, believes irrigation will make that section garden of plenty. 'All that country needs," he said, lis water to make it as productive as any portion of the state, and the peo- pie out there have found it out. They are taking widespread interest in the sub- ject of irrigation and many successful ex- periments have been made. There is my friend, Brown, a lawyer at Tribune, in Greedy county, on the Colorado line, who tried an acre with windmill to pump wa ter, and he says that under the influence of a copious use of water half acre will pro- duce enough to feed a family. For peo- who would only want to make garden for family use one windmill would furnish sufficient water for number of families The land is wonderfully prolific, and an enormous quantity of stuff can be grown on small quantity of ground. Necessity is the mother of invention, and I believe the ingenuity of man, aided by providence will yet solve the problem of supplying the only needed element to make western Kassas blossom as the rose. The interest taken in irrigation out there suggests the thought that we in eastern Kansas ought to irrigate also. We don't need rain in our section so much or so often as they do out there, but when we do need it we need it badly, and windmills will supply our wants every time." This is the section that has been pronounced arid and the land ValueleSS
