Down in the historic Southwest,

whose ancient civilization antcdates.

wonderful work of transformation *
going on. The magic of irrigation Is
again making pUpulous and wealthy
the wonderfully fertile lands Of Ari-
zona, which in ages gone by supported
great cities and a dense agricultural
population. The most remarkable
single instance of this development is
seen in the warm and sunny valley OF
the salt River, where by means Of
irrigation the city of Phoenix has
arisen. and is soon destined 10 bccom"
one of the large cities of the South
west through the construction Of the
enormous Tonic BASIN Reservoir.
\ Homccrofters' Village is now be-
Ing formed near Phoenix: 1t is the out
growth of and combines three great
ideas.
l. That the national government
should irrigatc the deserts and drain
the swamps to create opportunities for
men to get homes on the land who
want only sufficient land each to uc-
cupy and use and iutcnsiycly cultivate
with his own labor.
.. That the men who want such
homes should he 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 Il 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 HE most
attractive rural environment Wpl.l
surround the homes and bc Il part of the
home life Of the residents Of the vii
lagc.
To carry into practical operation
these three great IDEAS. three separate
organizations were in turn Planned
and formed by George IL. Maxwell.
The first idea was carried out through
The National Irrigation Association,
which conducted a 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 Homccroftcrs' cid of the
Talisman, an account of which was
given in the last issue of this paper.
In each of these associations Mr..

Z every possible advantage and safe
guard, Mr.. Maxwell employed two OF
| the most expert agriculturists IN the
Salt River Valley. whose long resi-
dence there and familiarity will the
country peculiarly qualified them to
select land to the best advantage.
These gentlemen. the Broomcll Broth
crS, spent several months looking over
land and finally selected Il tract ad-
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 thous luds
of years of rich deposit from the salt
River, but above all danger Of over
flow. For more than IL year the Rural
Settlements Association has been at
work preparing this land for subdi-
vision and settlement. 1t has been all
levclcd and checked and distributing

avenues planted with palms and olive
trees. and everything done TO put the
tract in the best possible condition for
homebuilding and for cultivation in
vegetables, and melons and all kinds

and berry culture.
SURE CROPS UNDER IRRIGATION.
For such products. the absolute GER
tainty of water supply always and ut
any time whenever needed without
any human possibility of shortage is
the corner stone and the only sure
foundation for success. Any uucer-
tninty in the water supply means
failure.
Realizing this. and bringing to a
solution Of the problem his long cx-
pcricnce and wide observation of the
essential elements of complete success
in the making of such homes as 70 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 n group of wells. on which n
pumping plant will be constructed.
These wells have an incNhaustlblr sup

furnish more water than can hu used

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
uurposcs. The work on this stu
peudous government structure is being
pushed forward with all practicable
haste. Ii 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 subdiyidcd 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 If
the most profitable adjuncts of thee
inrensively cultivated garden farrus.
In the past this character of land CgI,
turc has not been practicable in the
salt River Valley because of the fact
that mt the season of the year when
the water was most needed. there I,..
ing no reservoir, the river was mt IS
lowest stage, and the supply of water
the shortest. All this will be changed
10y the construction Of the Tonto Ba. d
Reservoir
Believing that the first practi II
demonstration of the profits to be d.
rived from garden farms of this ella So
should be 50 organized as to embody

culiarly adapted to the culture of the
crops which yield the highest acreage
profit with intensive cultivation.
Second, water right in the oldest
and best canal system in the Valley,
which will be added to by a water
right in the Tonic Basin Reservoir
from the national government, and still
further supplemented by a right in the
cooperative water company that will
own and operate the pumping plant.

large its Social Circle and add to the
charm of its social life. One quarter
SeqtiOn 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
lages or in the suburbs of the cities
is Il logical enlargement of the central
idea around which the National lrrl-
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.

to the lands or matters above referred
