Agriculture Developing.

I'VE found other examples of agri-
cultural achievement that prove con-
clusively that the state has in its fields
IN ever greater wealth than in the
mines. Beyond this we found that the
sentiment of the people is strongly to-
wards rapid development. They have
push, energy and money. They them
selves don't need any help from out
side. but if outsiders want to make
money, Montana can accommodate
them. 1t Is a wonderful state, the
more so because the actual conditions
there are just becoming known.
"All through the west we found
mills going up, factories becoming
productive and new enterprises being
developed. The entire west seems to
be a land of development and pro-
gress. At every point we a into
some one who was promoting some
thing. developing something. building
a factory or mill or breaking wild land
to the pillow. The strenuous life was
the key of everything. and every en-
r seemed devoted to development.
We gathered several hundred photo
graphs. They prove the progress that
is being made and we will send them
out as evidence that Mr.. Hills old
time predictions regarding the west
are being fulfilled"

Within a few days after Mr.. Yerkes
left for the west a second party of
Great Northern officials, including the
heads of the freight and traffic depart
ments. left on a special train to cover
practically the same ground and for
practically the same purpose. They
studied the west to ascertain what has
been accomplished and what its future
is to be. The results more than salts
fed. They proved that from St. Paul
through to the Pacific there is hardly
a county that cannot contribute some
kind of industrial or agricultural
wealth and that in hundreds Of locali-
ties where five years ago there was
nothing but barren waste settlers have
located, conquered natural obstacles
and created enterprises which are pay
ing them good returns.
Montana was the greatest surprise
of all the western states" said Mr..
Yerkes. They told me corr couldn't
grow there, but l saw a field Of 100
acres where corn stood higher than
our heads and was we'll advanced to-
wards maturity. 1t was the first large
cOrnfield in Montana and was not To-
Gated in a particularly favorable sec
ton. That corr matured and was har-
vested. We found fields of oats that
yielded 100 bushels to the acre.

IRRIGATION RESULTS in ITALY
Canals of Great Cost Constructed for tn
Benefit of the Crops Example to Our
Atlantic States.

5000 and the list of new canals and
the enlargement Of old ones, costing
from $780, 900 to 81, OOO, 900, is a ur-
prisingly large one.
Nearly all these canals" continued
Prof. Mead, ARE private works. Many
of them are owned by associations of
farmers, and where the canals are
owned by the government or by COM
panies the water is almost invariably
distributed by the irrigators them
selves. They organize to u their
canal, when they own it, Or to buy
water at wholesale from the COM
panies. Water is usually bought by
the volume. One of these farmers as
sociations buys 1925 cubic feet of
water per second. In selling this out
to it's members it gets the benefit of
the waste and seepage, which is caught
up and sold over again, so the asso-
citation sells 1900 cubic feet per sec
ond. One association has 5000 mem
bers.
THE Pc was a dry channel below
the dam of the Cavour canal when l
visited it Aug. 80, but a month spent
in the fields talking to the farmers,
water masters, or canal owners, did
not disclose a single grievance. at
tribute this to two things: The con-
troll of the streams by the state and
the capacity of the farmers to organize
and manage the distribution of water
among themselves. Count Cavour had
much to do with working out the sys-
tenn under which these associations
are operated, and was the first presi-
dent of the one at Vercelli, the largest
in northern Italy. The government of
Italy does not build irrigation works
but aids them in some cases by pay
ing the interest on their bonds in the
earlier years of their operation. 1t also
aid in the construction of important
drainage works, and encourages good
construction by the payment of prizes
for the best work completed each year
The example of Italy demonstrates
what irrigation might do for the east.

Prof. Elwood Mead, who has charge
of the irrigation division of the de
partment of agriculture at Washington,
has been spending the summer in Italy,
studying the irrigation laws, methods
and results in that country. Speaking
of his observations there, Prof. Mead
said: Italy is a striking example of
the growing industrial value of
irrigation has practically doubled the
productive capacity of northern Italy.
Instead of growing one crop a year,
farmers are enabled to grow two or
three. The result is that it takes more
people to cultivate the soil and more
houses and barns have to be built;
land valued from so to 500 per cent
above what they used to be, and the
plain of Lombardy is the most densely
populated section of Europe outside Of
Denmark and Belgium. Milan, the
chief city of that region, has about
the same population as St. Louis, and,
like Venice, owes everything to water.
The stone and brick used in building,
the wood, and much of the provisions
used in the city are floated in from
the country On the canals, the total re-
ceipts for 1902 amounting to nearly
100000 tons. Although repeatedly des-
troyed in the wars of the Lombard
league and later, they have each time
been promptly rebuilt, because, no
matter who rules the country, men and
horses had to be fed, and there was no
granary like the plains north of the
Pc river.
1T is interesting to remember that
irrigation in Italy is not a matter of
necessity, but of choice. The rainfall
of Lombardy and Piedmont is about
the same as that of Iowa. Irrigated
and unirrigated farms grow exactly the
same kind of crops, with the exception
of rice and one or two others. Irri-
CATION is used because more and larg-
er crops a be grown, and that differ
ence has made it profitable to expend
in the valley of this one river $780,
900 10000 in building canals, laterals
and drain bitches fof removing the sur
plus surface water.
ut is not known certainly when this
work began. The monks Of Chaira-
valla, six miles from Milan, began
watering their land in 1850, and are
credited with introducing marcite, the
most profitable crop in Italy, but the
canals and the business organizations
which have made the irrigation system
of Italy the teacher of the rest of the
world are leargely the creation of thu
past forty years. Among the works
built during that time are the Cavou'
canal. which cost 81, 900 900 and il
the largest canal system in Europe
The Villonce canal, begun in 1884 ant
still being extended, has cost, with it
~laterals. about 5 5000, 900. The Marie

surface of the earth. in a vein twelve
feet thick. The extent of the deposit
may be imagined, when it is taken as
a rule among operators that an inch
of coal upon an acre of land will pro-
duce 100 tons. AS this vein is twelve
feet through and 1000 acres in ex-
tent, it will be seen there is a prac-
tically ineXhaustible supply of coal in
the new field. Ninety days ago the
site of the new mine was on a slope
of a hill in the center of a farming
area. Now two shafts Skis feet have
been sunk, one as the main shaft of
the mine and the other as an air shaft,
for the ventilation of the mine. Down
sixty feet below the surface at the
main shaft, entries are being driven
into the coal veins, at right angles to
the main shaft. These are being
double shifted, in order that the mine
may be ready for operation in ample
time to prevent any shortage of the
supply of coal for consumers this win
ter. AS rapidly as the entries are driv-
en- along the original course to a GER
tain distance, other entries are turned
at right angles to them, rooms widened
out for the operation of miners, tracks
laid and when the hOists are installed
the mine is ready for work. An en-
CINE house has been erected at Mine
No. 2 and it will be supplied with the
same complete and modern machinery
as Mine No. l.. The benefits of the
experience at Mine No. l will be had
at Mine No. 2, and it will be the best
and completest mining plant for Ignite
coal in the country. Grading has al
ready been done covering the two and
a half miles between the two mines,
tracks have been laid so that the
mines may be operated jointly, and
the output be conveniently disposed of.
The tracks at the old mine have been
enlarged to accommodate sixty loads
and sixty empties.
A feature of the Ignite deposits in
these two mines is the thickness OF
the deposit, reaching twelve feet. The
mines are dry, and the coal is easily
worked. Experienced men a make
excellent wages. and the rate of wages
is in excess of that paid in any Ignite
mine in the country, and in excess Of
the bituminous mine scales, farther
east. With enough men to work the
mines to their capacity, the Washburr
company will put out 1000 to $500
tons daily during the coming winter
The essential requirement is enough
miners properly to work the mines
This the company is endeavoring tt
insure by installing every mining con
venience, building and operating III
own hotel, paying a liberal rate o
wages, and, in short. sparing no en-
pense that will put the two mines int
the best condition.
7 The expenditures of the Washburl
Coal company, aggregating $4,000
are OF ~incalculable value to the stat
of North Dakota. They insure
prompt and inexhaustible supply O
native fuel, and they mean a develop
ment of n of the states creates
sources of wealth, bringing Ignite Goa

state an income which shall grow wit
the coming years.
