A new colonization scheme for Amer
leans has been proposed that appears to
be entirely practical, and that Is inter-
esting at least The promulgator is Viii
liam E. Smythe. who is well and favor
ably 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 pro-
poses, in brief. to found farm village
somewhat on the order Of many that
now exist in Europe. He has selected as
a site for the proposed colony ranch OF
10, 900 acres located in the Sacramento
valley in northern California. The prop
erty was very valuable in the days when
wheat raising was profitable, but since
this market has failed the land has de-
preciated because other crops cannot be
raised there on account of lack Of irriga-
tion. 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 90 and 10 acre farms.
Each purchaser of farm is to be given
