been made. While it is true that
more than one-half the grain grown
the past season was not irrigated,
it was not because land in this val
ley "can not be irrigated" We
are blessed with a climate which
insures fair crops without irrigation,
but the people are turning to irri-
CATION because they can obtain bet
ter crops with It's aid. 1t is only
of recent years that much attention
has been paid to general agriculture
in the valley, which has been
largely due to it's sparse settlement
leaving open some of the best graz
ing land in the country. Now
nearly every available quarter-sec-
ton is homesteaded, and this, by
narrowing the range, has caused
the people to- turn to agriculture
and has awakened them to the
wonderful fertility of the land when
cultivated. Yes, this valley can
be irrigated and then spare enough
water to irrigate many thousands
of acres of land in the Boise and
Payette valleys, and we expect them
to use it, too, some day.
