The experimental application of an
irrigation project of the government
reclamation service-one which, should
it prove its worth in the one instance,
will be of Importance to the rich, but
as yet unfertile valleys of the great
plains-w be possible near Garden
City, Kan, next spring, according to
the estimates of the engineers in
charge of the work, says a Garden
City correspondent Of the Kansas City
Star.
To reclaim the abundant acreage of
this section of Kansas, unproductive
through the lack of water at the very
season when moisture is most essential
to the raising of the crops, the govern
ment is now arranging for the installa
ton Of complex system of pumps and
wells destined to supply from subter-
ranean springs and streams in excess
of 1O,O00,0OO,O00 gallons of water for
the irrigation of the adjacent country
each season.
Since the early days Of Kansas this
western section had been considered
next to worthless and barren because
Of this very lack Of water, which it is
now planned to overcome by tapping
the supply which is found in the gray
ell deposits under the great plains at
no great depth. The original settlers
Of the lands in Kansas found that they
had taken up claims not worth their
pains. They returned east or south
whence they had come. Their mort
cages lapsed, and small and large cap
italists as far away as New England
found themselves interested in aria
Kansas prairie which held forth net
even the most vague promise Of flu,
ture fecundity. The land had lain III
disuse and disrepute through decades
until the development Of the sugar
beet industry with the aid Of irriga-
ton, some years ago, again drew at
tention to the practically deserted Sec
ton.
Now the government purposes, by
tapping these hidden streams of much
needed moisture, pumping it to the sur
face and spreading out over great
areas, to transform what was discard
ed of the first settlers into new land
Of desire for the farmer Of the west.
Naturally good deal Of public inter
est in many sections of the country
attaches itself to the success or failure
Of the projected work, more so in view
Of the eastern held mortgages and the
probability Of the application Of similar
methods in other localities in the event
Of the successful operation Of the Gar
den City scheme.
The reclamation service plans to
utilize some Of the water In the Ar
kansas valley. and its plans are unique
and unusual. To bring the water to
the surface series of wells has been
bored, the aggregate length Of which is
more than four miles, and pumps
which were purchased from Buffalo
are to be installed. The project will
have $50 wells, varying in depth
from 40 to 800 feet and sunk in groups
or ten wells, with one pump installed
for each group. These wells vary from
