THE BEGINNING or TIE
IRRIGATED LAND MOVEMENT

with the decrease in the movement
to dry-farming and homestead lands
there has come an increase in the
movement to another class OF lands
which must eventually become New
MeXicO's chief resource and its great
| est source Of wealth. This is the ter
ritorN's irrigated area. The extent to
which his branch of our development
may go, and probably VIII go within
the next half dozen years is s~tagger-
ing in its possibilities. This movement,
too, is the result Of the national land
hunger. Irrigation in New Mexico is
as old as the eternal hills. Scientific
irrigation is SO new that the paint has
! not yet worn off the surface, True,
| scientific irrigation was undertaken
twenty years ago in the southern
Pecos valley by the great pioneer de-
veloper of that region, the late j. j.
| Hagerman and his associates, and
while he was not able to carry out to
their hnal end his ambitious plans he
did found a great irrigation system,
much Of which he completed himself
and the balance of which has been
completed by the reclamation service.
This. however, was a beginning only.
The Pecos valley in those days was
an isolated district. Mr.. Hagerman
and his associates unfortunately did
not extend their operations over the
| rest of the territory's |irrigable area
and the rest of the territory lacking
leadership contented itself with the
crude bitches of the pioneers. the
Spaniards ana the Indians. But it
was presently discovered hat instead
of the scant half million acres of ir-
rigablc land with which the territory
had been credited, hat il had a full
two million acres which offer feasible
means of reclamation. The reclama-
ton service came in and begun work
on the great Elephant Butte project
The territory perfected its irrigation
department and put a competent en-
ginoer in charge. Things began to
move. Last February the terms of
the Carey act were extended to New
Mexico and then the construction
| period set in in earnest. There was a
( great rush for water rights. Tint
rush continues today 50 that prae-
tically every water right on every
flowing stream in New McNico is APP
| propriatcd or under an application for
| appropriation. Irrigation projects now
| under construction or proposed plan
to reclaim not less than a million
acres, most of them being entirely
feasible. Figure out the value Of IL
rieated land in Now Mexico today and
il is easy to calculate what a

cred hundreds and thousands Of re-

manent settler has taken the place of
a Spectator, for in this movement as
in all other similar movements the
Spectator led the way.
This h|ve-year record Of homestead
filings represents the withdrawal from
the public domain by private individ-
uaIs of approximately 10, 600 900 acres
Of land
The figures are rather large. They
show that New Mexico has been dis
covered.

His stride Is almost perfect and In
spite Of his short legs-he is short
mamie gets over good deal CO
ground every time he swings his
stubby legs forward. There was not
moment throughout the long trial
of endurance that Hayes showed a
sign of being tired.
When he finished his hair was
matted and his running clothes were
soaked with perspiration. but he
wore the same half-amused express
sion ON his face that had comforted
his hackers all through the two
hours and u half OF running.

carried him around the last two laps

surged on the field, lifted him shout

spectators, packed along the track

distance.
Connolly is not the man he was.
For sixteen, miles he ran with the
strength and style that have won
