The Irrigation Aga for 1895.


Beginning with the January, 1896,
issue, the price of The Irrigation Age
will be reduced from $500 to $1.00 a
year. This magazine is the recognize
ed authority on all matters concern
ing Western interest. Although but
Just entering upon its sixth year, it
has attracted universal attention, be-
ing more widely read and receiving
more flattering notices, and being
more frequently quoted than many
journals of ten or twenty years stand
ing.
During the coming year it will deal
with the problems of western devel-
opment from every point of view.
The leading articles will be carefully
prepared by men who have through
long years of study and practical eX-
perience become thoroughly familiar
with every detail of the subjects
treated. Probably the most notable
series of articles will be ''The Art of
Irrigation" by Theo. S. Van Dyke, of
California. To the practical irrigator,
these will be simply invaluable, and
alone would be worth many times the
subscription price.
Another series of the greatest in
terest will begin in fine January issue,
entitled, ''Water Supplies for Irriga-
tion," by +. G.. Finkle, an eminent
member of the engineering profession.
These will be followed by articles
dealing with the various problems
which confront the irrigation engi
neer.
Judge j. S. Emery, of Kansas, the
national lecturrr of the irrigation
congress, will write upon ''The Re-
clamatiOn of the Great Plains" In
these articles will be reviewed the
crop failures in the semi-arid region,
the beginning of irrigation, and the
great possibilities now before western
Kansas and Nebraska.
The phenomenal prosperity of the
MOrmOnS, under practical system of
irrigation, is well know. This and
other topics relating to the great in
ter-mOuntain region will be fully COW
cred by Col. Chas. L. Stevenson. of
Salt Lake City, secretary of the Poly
technic society.
The legal questions affecting irriga-
tiOn securities, water rights and APP
preparations, are becoming of more
Importance every day. In a depart
ment devoted to this subject, Clessen
S. Kinney. of Utah, the author OF
1.-THE Law of Irrigation" will discuss
all recent decisions.
The departments devoted to practi-
cal farming and fruit growing will be
better than ever before. Able writer's

which perplex the new beginner in
irrigation farming, as well as the old
