Durango Democrat:-Tbe posi-
bilities of irrigation are so large that
it is difficult to estimate the extent to
which it will be carried in the future.
If irrigation pays-and no one now
questions that-the whole western
country of rich soil which asks but a
drink now and then, will be turned
into n garden of Eden. When the
farmer can watch his grain grown,
and just at the moment that it needs
it, turn on the water, the lands of
the west will produce narvests that
will pay for the irrigation system
each year. Colorado has not yet
risen to realization of what irriga-
ton NAV do for the state. When all
the land outside of the rain district is
cultivated this state will be the great
est agricultural commonwealth in the
world.
