I every possible advantage and safe
guard, Mr.. Maxwell employed two Of
the most expert agriculturists in tho
Salt River Valley, whose long resi-
dence there and familiarity with the
country peculiarly qualified them tt
select land to the best advantage
These gentlemen, the Broomell Broth
ers, spent several months looking over
land and finally selected a tract adj
Joining the tracks of the Phoenix &
Eastern Railroad, one mile from the
street railway in the city Of Phoenix,
Immediately under the Salt Canal, and
having the oldest and best Of all the
old water rights in the Valley. To
these old water rights will be added
the Government Reservoir Right as
soon as the reservoir system is COM
pleted.
The soil in this tract is the finest
alluvial loan, resulting from thousands
of years Of rich deposit from the Salt
River, but above all danger of over
flow. For more than year the Rural
Settlements Association has been at
work preparing this land for subdi-
vision and settlement. It has been all
leveled and checked and distributing
bitches and cross bitches built, the
avenues planted with palms and olive
trees, and everything done to put the
tract in the best possible condition for
BODYBUILDING and for cultivation in
vegetables, and melons and all kinds
of truck gardening and small fruit
and berry culture.
SURE CROPS UNDER IRRIGATION.
For such products, the absolute Ger
tainty of water supply always and at
any time whenever needed without
any human possibility Of shortage Is
the corner stone and the only sure
foundation for success. Any uncer-
tainty in the water supply means
failure.
Realizing this, and bringing to a
solution Of the problem his long ex-
perience and wide observation OF the
essential elements Of complete success
In the making Of such homes as it has
been planned should be made on this
tract, Mr.. Maxwell went still beyond
the assurance even of water from the
river and the government reservoir,
and there has been put down on the
property group of wells, on which a
pumping plant will be constructed.
These wells have an inexhaustible sup
ply OF underground water which will
furnish more water than can be used
for the irrigation of the lands in ques-
tion. The pumping plant will be or
ganized as a cooperative water COM
pany so that each home owner in the
tract will have his proportion Of owner
ship In 1t, and the furnishing Of
pumped water to adjoining land may
be made a source Of substantial profit
to those who are SO fortunate as to be
co-0wners In the plant. None will be
allowed to become co-owners In 1t ex-
cept those who acquire one OF the
tracts into which this Rural Settle
ments Association land will be sub
divided. It Is therefore manifest that
the tract Of land which Is now being
subdivided by the Association under
the direction Of Mr.. Maxwell. with Mr..
]. w. Rroomell acting as Local Super
intendent on the ground, offers the
following advantages to the home
seeker:
First, a selection Of the very best
tract of land 50 far as quality Of the
land is concerned, that could be found

Down in the historic Southwest
that portion of the American continent
whose ancient civilization antedates,
possibly, that of even old Egypt, q
wonderful work Of transformation IL
going on. The magic Of irrigation is
/. again making populous and wealthy
the wonderfully fertile lands Of Ari-
zona, which In ages gone by supported
great cities and dense agricultural
population. The most remarkable
single instance Of this development Il
seen in the warm and sunny valley of
the Salt River, where by means OF
irrigation the city Of Phoenix has
arisen, and Ii soon destined to become
one Of the large cities of the South
west through the construction Of the
enormous Tonic BASIN Reservoir.
4 A Homecrofters' Village il now be-
ing formed near Phoenix: it is the out
growth Of and combines three great
ideas.
/. That the national government
should irrigate the deserts and drain
the swamps to create opportunities for
men to get homes on the land who
want only sufficient land each to oc-
cupy and use and intensively cultivate
with his own labor.
2. That the men who want such
homes should be aided to get them by
an organization which should work
solely. for the benefit Of the Home
seeker and aid him In every possible
way to get the best quality Of land in
small tracts for the lowest possible
price with perfect titles and water
rights.
3. That the success Of the Home
seekers who secure those homes should
be promoted through an organization
which would plan to aid in building
village communities where the highest
possible advantages of education, CO.
operation and social life and the most
attractive rural environment would
surround the homes and be a part Of the
home life Of the residents Of the vii
lage.
To carry into practical operation
these three great ideas, three separate
organizations were In turn planned
and formed by George Fl. Maxwell.
The first idea was carried out through
The National Irrigation Association,
which conducted great campaign for
national irrigation resulting In the en-
actment Of the National Irrigation Act
In June, 1903.
The second idea was formulated and
put into working operation through
the organization Of the Rural Settle
ments Association.
The third idea has been embodied
In an organization recently formed
called the Homecrofters' Gid of the
Talisman, an account Of which was
given In the last issue of this paper.
In each Of these associations Mr..

ing Phoenix. This lake win hold 10
times as much as the 8 million dol
lar Croton reservoir, which has just
been constructed to supply New York
City with water, and it will hold more
than the great Assouan dam across the
Nile. Many Of the day laborers on this
work are Apache Indians, now peace
full remnants of Geronimo's wild band.
A Power Canal has been taken out
above the reservoir which will carry
the water around the mountain side
above the level Of this artificial lake,
to a point just below the dam, where

foundation, and 23O feet above the
river level. Eight hundred feet wide
at the top or curb, 1t will form a giant
wedge connecting the towering can
yon walls, and become, as the en-
gineer's report states, as immovable
and everlasting as the adjoining rock.
1t will create a lake, backing the
water up the Salt River IA or Is miles
and 10 miles up the Tonic. When the
reservoir is completed the water will
flow in the river channel for A miles,
and then be diverted by means OF
canals to the irrigable lands surround

Maxwell was and is still the active.
moving spirit, and those who avail
themselves Of the opportunities he is
lab0ring to create for men of moder-
ate means to get homes on the land
will secure the benefit of his wide
experience, extending over more than
fifteen years during which time he
has given the closest study to every
element necessary to the success Of
the man who makes home on irri-
gated land.

large it's Social Circle and add to the
charm Of its social life. One quarter
section of land thus subdivided will
add thirty-two families to the com
munity and correspondingly increase
the trade Of the town..
This movement for the building Of
Homecrofts or small garden homes In
the outskirts Of existing towns or vii
lagos or in the suburbs Of the cities
is logical enlargement of the central
idea around which the National Irri-
cation Movement was organized.
That idea was that the greater the
number of such small garden farms
the greater the general prosperity and
stability Of the country. The success
Of the Homecroft Village near Phoe-
nix will lead to its duplication In the
neighborhood Of many other cities and
towns throughout the country.

association known as the Salt River

Association contracted with the nation

under the National Irrigation Act Of
the great Tonic Reservoir which is
now being built on Salt River.

will be developed for use by the resi-
dents Of the lands irrigated In the
Valley below from the reservoir, for
pumping water for irrigation and other
purposes. The work on this stu
pendous government structure is being
pushed forward with all practicable
haste. It is believed that In less than
two years from to-day the water from
the reservoir will be flowing into the
canal Of the Salt River Valley. In
much less time than that the govern
ment will be furnishing electric power
for running the pumping plants Of the
farmers In the valley and furnishing
electric power for all the purposes for
which power from this source can be
used.
SMALL GARDEN FARM TRACTS
More than a year ago Mr.. Maxwell
conceived the idea that the highest and
best use to which the lands under this
great government irrigation system
could be devoted was that they should
be subdivided into small tracts for
garden farming, berry culture and the
growing Of small fruits, melons, and
other products Of intensive cultivation.
The raising Of poultry in all it's
branches would Of course be one Of
the most profitable adjuncts of these
intensively cultivated garden farms.
In the past this character OF land cul-
ture has not been practicable in the
Salt River Valley because Of the fact
that at the season Of the year when
the water was most needed, there be-
ing no reservoir, the river was at it's
lowest stage, and the supply Of water
the shortest. All this will be changed
BY the construction Of the Tonic Basin
Reservoir.
Believing that the first practical
demonstration Of the profits to be de-
rived from garden farms Of this class
should be SO organized as to embody
