A SENSIBLE PLAN

The water wrang es in Carson Val
ley, which in years past has enriched
the lawyers and Impoverished the
farmers, are nov all adjusted by prac-
tically adopting the Colorado plan of
dividing and handling water.
The Courier tells how it works:
The farmers who irrigate their
lands from the east fork of the Carson
river have divided the territory into
four districts and appointed a com
mittee of four farmers who have full
charge of the distribution Of The water
The members Of the committee are:
VIM. Dangberg, John Franlzen. Vim.
Lampe and Henry Lange. This COM
mittee touches the button "opens the
headgates) and the water does the
rest. No one else is allowed to touch
the water. The entire flow Of the
river is used in one district for four
days and then moved to the next dis
t1ict. Every farmer is given all the
water he wants for the four days the
water is in his district. This plan
was put in operation last year and
proved very satisfactory.
at is only a short time since this
years committee took charge of the
water, and it seems that up to a few
days ago net quite all the farmers
were aware that acommittee had been
appointed. The committee went into
one district, bringing the entire flow
of the river, and found a couple Of
neighbors quarreling over the water.
The conmitte promptly told them to
take a back seat and if they wanted
to fight anybody to fight the commit
tee. The result was that both farm
ers were given all the water they
wanted and everybody was delighted.
Each farmer is required to turn his
waste water so that it will run onto
the next farm. Thus every drop of
water is put to good use and none is
allowed to run on barren land. As
stated before, the dividing of the ter
zitory into districts and placing the
same in charge Of a committee has
brought good results and the farmers
are we'll satisfied"
An attempt has been made several
times to introduce the Colorado plan
IN Nevada by legislative enactment
but Whenever the subject was breach
ed the wise law makers shook their
heads and saids it was ..entirely too
radical"
