Present Day English Novelists Almost

Troubles OF a Iady lecturer.

A certain lady lecturer tells two
good stories against herself. Il was

ern States.

Much has been accomplished al
ready. Utah and southern California
owe their greatness as agricultural
countries to the irrigation ditch, and
in dozen places in Colorado great
tracts of land have been redeemed
from the desert and made most pro-
duciye farms. These great plants are
as a rule controlled by large companies
which have invested thousands in
building bitches and reservoirs and
which furnish water to a multitude OF
farmers as gas is furnished elsewhere.
In western Kansas individual farmers
have largely built their own irriga-
ton plants, and in one corner OF the
Sundower State there are more than
/ 200 windmill irrigation plants owned
by individuals. But after all is said
about the wonders which irrigation
has accomplished, the fact remains
that the work still remaining is in
fnitely greater. Roughly speaking,
it is said that there are now not much
more than 100000 acres under irri-
CATION, while the total area which it
is estimated may be prodtably brought
under irrigation, and which will not
be productive without it, is estimated
to be over one hundred million acres.
AS a fair example Of what irriga-
tion will do for a country and its peo-
Pile, Rocky Ford, in the Arkansaw val
ley of Colorado, may be cited. Men
still young have hunted buffaloes- over
or the greatest sugar
beet factories in the world, and in a
single year Rocky Ford sends to mar
het 100000 sheep and 800 carloads of
melons: All this is due to irrigation,
and as a result land has increased in
value from sos to $3.50 an acre. =
In eastern Colorado, near the Kan
sas state line, the largest irrigation
system in the country has just been
completed. 1t will furnish sufficient
water for 100000 acres of land, and
more than a million dollars has been
spent In its construction. The system
consists of five great reservoirs, cover
ing Ia, 1000 acres of land, and provided
with seven great canals and number
Of subsidiary bitches. with total
length of more than 500 miles.
But even this irrigation system is
entirely dwarfed by the colossal work

the recent summer by the hot winds
blowing from the west. When a desert
region is redeemed through irrigation
the winds which blow over it lose their
sting and are tempered to the grow

harm far beyond its own limits and an

touch of water to blossom. It is said
by those competent to judge that forty
acres Of properly irrigated land in
Kansas or Colorado will furnish a
surer and a larger competency than
100 acres in the east.
The experience of thousands of irri-
cation farmers has been practically
the same. They pay perhaps s125 or
81, or perhaps even S., an acre for their
land in an arid and entirely unpro-'
ductive state. At an average cost c.
not more than $500 each of them puts
up a tower sixty feet in height and
surmounted by a sixteen-foot wind
mill, This windmill works an eight

enty-five feet in diameter, and which
will cost another 800 to build. With
such plant a man can irrigate thor
oughly at least ten acres of land If
he plants ten acres with alfalfa he will
have water enough for twenty acres
in all, for the alfalfa needs to be irri-
gated only in the winter time for its

been going on for some time, is much
the largest ever undertaken in the
world, as is indicated by the fact that
it will cost upwards Of $25 ,0O0, 900. @
There are two ways in which arid
lands may be irrigated. The first and
simplest is by means of the so-called
gravity bitches. according to which
water is diverted from river or res
ervoir and flows by the force Of gravi-
ty through irrigation bitches to the
land it is desired to water. In billy
and mountainous country this system
has been systematically followed and
has proved Immensely profitable and
successful. But gravity bitches are
not practicable on the fat prairie lands
which make so large part Of the
arid West. AS means Of taking their
place it was long ago discovered that
over almost all fat desert country
plentiful supply Of water may
be reached by sinking shallow wells.
Then came the question OF finding
power to raise this water to the SUR
face. and out Of that need has grown
