Special Correspondence.
NEW YORK, Jan. "a new coloni-
cation scheme for Americans has been
proposed that appears to be entirely
practical and that is interesting at
least. The promulgator is William E.
Smythe, who is well and favorably
known throughout the West as the
editor of the Irrigation Age.
Mr.. Smythe's plan is somewhat So
cialistic and somewhat cooperative
but is not wholly of either nature. He
proposes, in brief, to found a farm
village somewhat on the order of many
that now exist in Europe. He has Sc
1ected as q site for the proposed col
ony a ranch of 10000 acres located in
the Sacramento valley in Northern Cal
ifornia. The property was very valu-
able in the days when wheat raising
was profitable, but since this market
has failed the land has deprecated
because other crops cannot be raised
there on account of lack of irrigation
Mr. Smythe proposes to cut canals
through from the Sacramento valley
and reclaim this almost arid land.
In the center of this tract 800 acres
are to be set aside for village. The
rest is to be cut up into twenty and
ten-acre farms. Each purchaser of a
