Kansas in the interest of his clients.
Mr.. Sherman has for number of
years represented the Oneida IN. Y
district in Congress, and is well known
New York.
In response to the question as to
what was the condition in which he
found Western and Central Kansas,
Mr.. Sherman said:
1.-THE conditions are all favorable TO
plant growth, and the soil is exceed
ingly productive, the only requisite be-
ing sufficient supply of water at the
be the finest agricultural district in the
world. The climate IS mild, and the
native grasses are very nutritious,
and [ was very much impressed with
the adaptability of these prairies for
the growing os cattle. In my travels I
saw large Numbers of cattle feeding on
the prairie grasses and apparently fit
for markets
1.-The method of irrigation is some
what novel. Instead of taking the
water from rivers and large reservoirs,
and distributing through long canals,
the new way is simply pumping the
water up from the underground stra-
tum of water bearing sand. On the
river bottom land this sand-water
stratum is found at a depth Of fro n
six to ten feet, and here irrigation is
most successful and most cheaply
prosecuted. An important feature OF
this method Of irrigation is the COM
paratively small expense required to
install complete working plant.
Under the canal system several
hundred thousand dollars might be re-
quired to be expended before any
results chould be had, and before the
scheme could be demonstrated to be a
success. And then the high water in
the river might wash out the dams and
flood gates, and prevent any success
ful cultivation for that season. The
individual pump plant is always under
the most certain results. The supply
of water is inexhaustible and always
at command. Undoubtedly a very
large portion OF this western section of
Kansas is underlaid with this water
bearing sand stratum. But outside
of the valleys the greater depth to the
water increases the expense, and it is
only the river bottom lands that are
now being irrigated in this manner.
1.-THE alfalfa plant is peculiarly
adapted to this Western country. 1t
is perennial, and when it gets root no
expense of cultivation, or further ex-
pense in seeding is required. The
company has only the expense of
harvesting, and this may be done
fed growing in the fields, the cattle
doing the harvesting. am told by a
Kansas farmer who has spent several
years in Arizona as the manager of
cattle company, that cattle fed on
growing alfalfa will gain an average of
four pounds day. The gain of catele
being fed on corn meal is not more
than five pounds per day The great
expense in feeding corn, and the light
expense in feeding alfalfa Laust show
a very large profit from growing alfalfa
used in this manner"
