President johnson Says the conven-
ton Will Be Held in Fargo In Janu-
ary, and Will Be the Best Ever.
Former Mayor ]. A. johnson OF
Fargo, president of the Tri-State Grain
and Stock Growers association, *
poets next years meeting OF the asso-
citation to be the most successful the
organization has held. He looks Tor
an attendance of $500 to 1000 from
the three states included In the asso'
ciation-Minnesota, North Dakota M
South Dakota-and the association ex-
poets to provide a program to make
it. worth their while to attend. the
meeting will be held Jan. 10, 20, 81 and
%, at Fargo.
One of the new features planned for
this session is a seed and stock ex-
change. The idea is that the farmers
that have surplus seed or any new va
riety may bring samples to the meet
ing and sell some of their stock to
others that need it. The same plan
will be followed as to live stock.
Stock raisers may show pictures. de-
scriptions and pedigrees of stock they
wish to sell, and it is expected that
the plan will result in numerous sales
to farmers that desire to improve their
herds.
A North Dakota B~uttermakers' as:
sociation will be organized. The but
termakers Of the state now have an
organization, but the idea is to make
it more active, so that it will be really
representative of the states dairy in
t~erests, and to place it in a position
where it will be able to estimate the
industry.
The program will include some of
the best speakers o%btainable. MIR.
johnson says that an effort will be
made to secure James ]. Hill for an
address. Secretary Wilson of the de-
partment of agriculture will make an
effort to be present. and two experts
from the department will make .ad-
dresses. Several men prominent In
| state experiment stations will be on
| the program.
The primary object Of the associa-
ton is the education Of the farmer
along lines of general agriculture and
stock raising, and to give him ideas
that will improve his work. Political
questions and "fad" schemes are
| barred from the discussions.

Cost Of irrigation Water Rights

Some of the Washington dispatches
have called attention to the expected
increase in cost of irrigation of the
western lands which the interior de-
partment designated the other day for
the first construction under the ma
tional irrigation law, pointing out
that this cost is double certain esti-
mates made during the discussion Of
the irrigation bill, which were placed
at S5 an acre. Five dollars would
undoubtedly be low average to place
upon all the reclaimable western
lands. But whether the irrigation
works which the government is to
construct in the west will cost at the
acre is matter which need in nowise
interfere with the prosecution of the
irrigation constructions under the ma
tional irrigation law passed by con-
gress last summer. In every case the
cost of putting water upon the land
is to be borne by the settler and the
farmer who lives upon the land and
will use the water. The government
will HFiiiiii be repaid for every dollar ex-
pended. The question then is simplJ
whether land with water upon it will
be taken by settlers at ten dollars
or fifteen dollars an acre or any other
sum which it may cost to reclaim it.
When it is realized that irrigated
farms and orchards in the west are
worth from four to one hundred times
fifteen dollars an acre, and that the
crudest irrigation farms produce an
nually more than SIS an acre, it is
not believed that there will be any
dearth of applicants ready and eager
to go upon the land which the gov
ernment reclaims. Under the irriga-
tion act payment can be made on ex
ceedingly easy terms-ten equal an
nllal installments.
The cost Of putting water ON west
ern land may range all the way from
four to fifty dollars an acre. Some
of the simpler propositions require
only the digging of big ditch in or
der to secure water for thousands of
acres; others necessitate the building
of immense masonry dams and the
construction OF very expensive canals
and headworks. It is probable that
The independent., 1903-04-23

eventually the waters of some Of the
great rivers of the northwestern
states-the Columbia and the Snake
may be taken out at very large cost
per acre, yet fruit lands in the va
kima valley Of Washington today are
bringing in ar annual revenue of as
high as 5000 an acre. OF course it
would not pay to spend $50 an acre in
reclaiming lands to be used for graz
ing or feeding purposes.
This question of the cost of irriga-
tion opens up the subject of the area
which it is possible to reclaim in the
arid west. photographer Newell OF
the geological survey stated this mat
ter concisely the other day. He said:
"The reclaimable area of the arid
region must remain an indefinite
quantity for many years to come. No
man can say definitely how many
acres are capable of ultimate reclaim
alton. To illustrate, suppose a large
spring is situated in such a location
SO far from arabic land-that it would
cost hundred dollars an acre to lead
it on to that land-itself one hundred
miles removed from any railroad or,
other Improvement; the water would
never be utilized for irrigation. Sup
pose on the other hand that a rail-
road should be projected through the
desert and a flourishing town be
started on this land, then it would
pay to spend the hundred dollars an
acre for the improvement.
Projects which are not today feas-
ible because of their expense may in
ten, years, as the country settles up.
become very profitable ones"
