MORE FARMERS
GET DITCH WATER

On Tuesday of this week final
arrangements were made by
which about 200 acres of land
southwest of town will be put
under irrigation from the COM
pany's ditch. Work has already
commenced at the southeast cor
ner of the company's alfalfa
near j. G. Edgington's section.
From there the ditch will run
one mile south, thence one-half
mile west, one-half mile south,
one-half mile west and then
southwest to the Clifton ranch.
This will bring some 200 acres of
land under irrigation immedi-
ately and considerably more a
little later on. The only diff
Guilty encountered in this enter
prise was the crossing of the De

this will be done with a large
