Of this state, if they would prevent
the diversion of their irrigation funds
irrigation enterprises in other states,
which have little or no fund with
which to work. It was pointed out in
the addresses that the irrigation law

autocrat, so far as the construction Of
irrigation works is concerned. He
must approve the irrigation plans be-
fore work. can be begun and he has
also the power to borrow the funds
of one state for work in another. Con-
sequently, before North Dako&s can
obtain the benefits of the irrigation
fund it must have the sanction of the

Another fact that was pointed out is
that government: engineers in charge

Operators along other lines, anxious to
make a reputation in. some gigantic
irrigation feats. The smaller pro-

North Dakota, the damming up Of

moisture by creating storage reser-
voirs in creeks and coulees, would not
appeal to them. It was suggested,
however. that larger works were pos

Missouri might be turned thru an
immense canal into the. central part
Of the state, there to be distributed by
smaller canals to the land in the belt

Trial Trip Offer to November l,

For more than half century the
Prairie Farmer has admittedly been
the leader of the agricultural press of
the western states. No other farm
paper pretends to cover the whole field
of country life so thoroughly-live
stock husbandry, grain sewing, veg
etable and flower gardening, dairying,
poultry and beeS-all get due consid-
Grafton by the very best writers llv-
ing. The Prairie Farmer, above all
things else, is the practical farmers
paper. 1t gets right down to the
meat Of things. 1t does not contain
long discussions that tire the reader,
but essential and important facts are
laid before him at opportune times of
the year; hence every bit of matter
presented weekly is at once available.
The Prairie Farmer is the business
farmers paper. 1t contains each
week such things as the busy farmer
will want to read about. 1t does not
contain great bulk Of trashy matter
that is Of no particular interest to
more than one reader out of thou
sand. In short, no farmer, fruit
grower, live stock breeder or feeder
or dairyman should think of conduct
ing his operations without having be-
fore him the Prairie Farmer as a
weekly guide, On account of the
number of special writer's and illus
trations, the Prairie Farmer costs
more to publish than many other ag-
ricultural papers; but it's subscription
price is admittedly the lowest of any
agricultural paper in the field. We
want every farmer who reads this no
tice to try the Prairie Farmer until
November l.
In connection with the Prairie Farm
er we send to every subscriber the
Prairie Farmer Home Magazine sup
plement. This monthly section is de-
voted entirely to country homes. 1t
has been an overwhelming success
since it started, and it is really the
only publication devoted to the coun-
try home. Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws,
Appleton, Mimi, writes about it:
"Certainly your Home Magazine is
beautifully gotten up. The illuStra-
tions are fine, and most of all l ad-
mire the back to the soil atmosphere
of it," Mrs. Jeanette Wragg Miller,
Atlantic, To-, writes: "Your Home
Magazine will fill a long felt want
among country women, 1t far excels
any other publication, and I know it
will meet with the instant success it
is entitled to-" Mr.. Chas. E. Taylor,
Holton, Kan, writes: "The Prairie
Farmer is as good farm paper as any
one could wish for. The Home Mag
azine makes complete family paper"
Our offer to new readers is to send
the Prairie Farmer weekly and the
Prairie Farmer Home Magazine
both to November l, 1903, {
