PRE-CoLUMBIAN IRRIGATION.
"In America the Aztec and Peru
Wan civilizations built perfected sys
TENS of irrigation.
Irrigation ever has been the re-
ligion of the arid lands; and faith
which sees in the desert the prom
ise of springing blades. Long be-
fore Columbus came the Pueblo In
dians had five times more irrigating
canals IN Arizona than the Americans
there have today.
"The story of ancient irrigation is
picturesque, but it is the irrigation
of today that is practical. Today
there is more land in the world cult
ivated by irrigation than under rain
fall. There are sixteen of the semi
arid states and territories Arizona,
California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Wash.
ington and Wyoming.
"Of these sixteen states, Colorado
stands first and pre-eminent for area
of irrigated land, having 100000
acres under ditch.
RECLAMATION OF DESERT.
"These semi-arid states have large
areas of the government domain
within their borders. Hereafter all
the receipts of the government land
sales, within these same states,
(which formerly went into the ma
t,onal exchequer) will be devoted to
the reclamation of profitless desert
by development, conservation and
conduct Of water thereon-making
reservoirs with systems Of irrigating
canals within the semi arid states.
"The settlers along tfese canals
nav for their lands and water rights
and all the money goes to Uncle
Sam for reinvestment to redeem ad
ditionsl arid lands, and so on, till all
the desert shall rejoice, and blossom
as the rose, making for the strength
of the nation. 1t is never ending
merry go round of perpetual pleas
ure and profit.
"Uncle Sam possessed profitless,
unsslable lands and now makes them
at a premium, by application OF
water, and wa1es rich.
HUNDRED MILLION ACRES.
"Tbere are in round numbers lOO,-
OOO, 900 acaes of vacant public lands
in these sixteen states and territories
and in the government treasury
there are over s3O,O0O,0O0 ready to
be expended for reclamation work.
"Si, remarkable irrigation projects
are now being projected by the gov
ernment engineers: The Gunnison

Sweet water in Wyoming, Carson
Thicker in Nevada, Salt River in Ari

considering irrigation from an
economic standpoint, we must re.
member that it largely increases the
productive capacity Of each acre, SO
that twenty acres Of irrigated land
harvest crops equal to those raised
on sixty or more acres under rain
fall. In the Sunny San Luis, in
Colorado we can point to farms
which yield
SIXTY BUSHELS OF WHEAT
to the acre which commands a prem

"There are twenty million acres OF
rich agricultural land in Colorado
now accessible to settlement and
available for irrigation and tillage.
The annual cost of putting water on
the land is from 50 to 81. SO an acre
and the Colorado farmer, under ir
rigation, practically has entire con =
troll of his crops after fertilization.
Grains, fruits, tubers, edible roots
and grasses are superior in yield and
quality there because they neither
receive too little or too much moist
ure under scientific irrigation-in-
tensive fsrning-the soil yields
crop double that of the average gen
eral yield in farm products.
"By the timed and measured ap,
plication of water to growing things
the Colorado farmer more nearly

of fats in his oats, of starch in his
