dler and others interested in irrigation,
and according to his statements to a
Bismarck gathering Of business men he
thinks that something is to be done for
North Dakota in this direction. The
trouble seems to be that u state is
about 10 years behind the times. That

some years ago, but it is believed tina,
things will take definite shape soon and
that by another spring the government
will put in a number Of irrigation stations
in the West Missouri country. The frs,

definite knowledge of the country ant
