use of streams for irrigation shall not
be in such a condition that they can
be subverted. There is more in this
than appears at first glance.
The storage question is also of vast
Importance. When irrigation has
ceased fol the season, water might be
stored by a little labor with natural
reservoirs, which will bring into cul-
tivation large areas now unused. By a
proper system of distribution much
water will be saved from waste and
applied where it will do the most good.
There are other matters appertaining
to the irrigation question which need
attention, and the Association organ
lied is for the purpose of educati ting
our people in those directions.
Utah must not be behind other states
in this particular. It will be, unless
more system and better methods are
employed than have been in vogue for
some time. There should be a gen.
eral awakening among our agricultur-
lists on this vital question. Farmers,
