The Origin Of Irrigation

Irrigation and dry farming APP
pear to be the burning questions ut
the hour; q ieciallv since New
Mexico is to be honoged this TALL
with the annual meeting OF the
National Irrigation Congress.
The wonderful strides the great
southwest has made in the last lew
wears, on the road to progress, has
been accomplished mainly by lrri-
CATION. Take the Pecos Valley
tor example: at Il time given up
as hopelessly arid land, today it is
the garden spot OF the southwest
irrigation has made cactus studded
deserts to blossom as the rose; the
pioneer sod-conqueror, who is as
truly an American hero as the
Indian fighters who blazed the way
across the Alleghanies, has driven
out the ella monster aud the dead
~ RATHER, and has converted virgin
soil into %ripening grain field; and
the star oil empire is taking it's
course across what were once the
arid lands OF the southwest.
Irrigation is the magic KEY that
has unlocked all these possibilities
to the homeseeker; vet how many
busy Americans have ever stopped
to trace the origin OF this great
boon TO the southwest Perhaps
some have ever given tue credit TO
the hustling American-we may
have a vague idea that irrigation
was the bright idea OF the noble
Roman, whose great aqueducts
carried water from the River Tiber
all over Rome, then mistress OF the
world. But before Romulus and
Rernus were nurtured by the She
wolf, before the greedy Alexander
wept for more worlds TO conquer,
before Buddha solved the problem
OF human existence, irrigation was
lending it's patent aid TO the main
tenance oil a very ancient people.
And these people were the pictures.

the fact that the terrible monsoons
