The government retains title and super

or wheat and seventy-6ve bushels of
oats. Considerable clover and alfalfa
seed is produced for market.
Small Farms the Rule
On account of the productiveness Of
the soil under water. the land will be
farmed on a small but intense scale.
Perhaps the average farm Will be TWEEN
ty or forty acres, likely less Alfalfa
will be the staple crop on the start but
fruits and other cereals will likely
build up practically new industries. I'm.
der the system there will be 100000
acres of land, of which 10000 acres are
now under cultivation. Some waste land
will of necessity be found in The tract.
None of the land will be over ten miles
from railroad, giving excellent trans
portation facilities right from the start.
1t is estimated that homes for 100000
people will be found on the tract when
settled.
One of the most remarkable and in
teresting features of the project is the
large number of prospective settlers
who have filed upon every available

The project ranks well with the great
irrigation schemes of the world. 1t will
reclaim % per cent more land that the
original Twin Falls project, and more
than twice as much as the Mind Okla.
While these figures give some idea Of
the immensity of the government work,
the real results will come from the pro-
ductiveness of the soil and the adapti
bility of the section to the building of
homes and to intense farming.
The altitude of the land is 2l00 feet
approximately, and the. surface is roll

The climate is moderate, the summers
being warm, but winter weather seldom
