Hopes to Solve Irrigation Problem.
More than usual interest attaches to
the bill which was introduced in the
house by Congressman Reeder, of
Kansas, providing an appropriation of
$4,000 for the work of Investigating
the practicability of sinking artesian
wells in the arid regions Of Kansas to
be used for. irrigation purposes. The
region which he wants to improve in
cludes almost the whole western third
of Kansas, or about 40 counties.
He says in the past two or three years
the crops which have been raised there
have been in large measure salts
factory, but they did not begin to
reach the proportion which they
would have reached had there been
more water available. The wells
which he wants sunk should go to
depth of from 1000 to 5000 feet, he
says. Wells which have been sunk to
depth of 1000 feet have sent up salt
water, but he believes that the great
er depth will yield desirable quail
ty of water and prevent distressing
and disastrous droughts, eh.as4
