Irrigation Now and Hereafter.

Irrigation Now ana Hereafter.
No irrigation exhibits of prominence
were in evidence at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair as such, yet in everything
agricultural they formed leading
part and their withdrawal would have
left huge gaps and taken away the
best. Had the products of the dam
and ditch all been labeled Grown by
Irriga tion," the irrigation exhibit
would have been very large. But few
of the hundreds Of thousands of peo-
pie who viewed with amazement the
magnificent fruits and grains from the
Western States, far more notable In
size, appearance and yield than any
thing they ever saw in the East, were
fully able to realize that those prod
ucts were raised upon lands which
few years ago were useless deserts,
but now made fertile by the art of
irrigation. Practical methods of irrl-
ga ton were demonstrated at the Gov
eminent building by a model Of Salt
River Valley in Arizona, where sys-
TEN Of bitches and laterals, by which
the water Is distributed onto the farms
and orchards below, are now under
construction in the mountains. Real
water was running through these
bitches. This great work Of Uncle
Sans in Arizona is progressing rap
idly. A cement mill, to make the 2OO,-
600 barrels Of cement needed in the
masonry, Is completed; 100000
mountain road, to convey the dam
material from Phoenix is finished and,
most remarkable, the river itself has
been carried through tunnels around
the dam site and Is furnishing 1000
electric horse power with which to
build the dam. This Is to be used to
construct the giant works and thus the
river will build its own dam and form
the greatest reservoir in the United
States. OF all sizes and classes were
the irrigation pumps exhibited in the
! farm and implement department; but
more striking than these were the
widnmills. These busy machines rear
ed their tall heads above the surround
ing buildings and whirred gaily in
the breeze, forming a striking exam
pie Of mans ingenuity in Harvesting
the elements. The highest of these,
built by one of the largest windmill
manufacturers, spread its steel wings
100 feet in the air, and with moder-
ate wind pumped 10000 gallons an
hour The water gushed up like fine
artesian well, enough to irrlgate thor
oughly a good sized farm. The West
Is at the beginning Of tremendous
progress in agriculture. The govern
ment has undertaken the work OF ma
tional reclamation Of the desert and
is pushing the work vigorously. Vast
engineering works-huge dams and
canals-are being constructed in the
Western States and Territories. and as
the work proceeds the people will real
lie its wisdom and worth, and It will
be extended until the former desert
places shall become the most fruitful
Of any in the land Twenty years
hence. If the governments irrigation
work continues along right lines and
is kept free from politics and graft,
we may see West with nearly double
its present population and the splen-
did products of American irrigation
reaching to all parts Of the world
