He was followed by Samuel H. Lea
of South Dakota. state engineer, who
spoke of irrigation in South Dakota as
follows:

Irrigation i'm South Dakota" was
the subject Of an address by S. II. Lee
state engineer of that state.
although not classed strictly as ar
irrigation state" he said, South Da'
kota has an irrigated area of consider
able size and a much larger area sus-
Ceptible of irrigation. The situation Is
peculiar by reason Of the great Naria-
tion i'm local requirements in different
parts of the state. For example, the
eastern portion, because of excessive
rainfall, is in urgent need of drainage
for its agricultural lands while in the
country adjacent to the Black Hills II
rigation is extensively practiced. Be
tween these two sections the people are
much interested in dry farming.
so much land has been available II
western South Dakota that people nave
not worried about getting the best re
turns in the way of agriculture. 1t is
much easier to farm on horseback thar
to chase around after irrigation wate'
all day. Many of the old settlers have
become cattle barons: they have pros
pered and grown rich on the increase OF
their live stock and naturally they arc
aVerse to change.
"There are about $4,000 acres of land
now under irrigation in South Dakota
This area soon will be augmented by
over $4,000 acres upon the completion
of the Belle Fourche project by The
United states reclamation service. Pri-
vate projects will bring the acreage ar
to something like $4,000 acres.
"A feature of the Belle Fourche pro-
iect is the immense earthen dam which
when completed, will rank among the
great dams Of the world. This struc-
ture will create a lake ten miles long
to four miles wide, and In places 10C
feet deep.

Now, seven hundred million dollars

if we could save these seven hundred

our total income from farms by al
most a fifth and we could easily in
crease the population fed by some ten
or twenty millions.
We have already begun In this way
to save a good many millions. We

THE COMPLETE CRATER.

Grating is no easy matter. 1t calls
for special qualifications In the first
place. one must be consistent. To
start out on a grating career under
the belief that We may permit our
selves occasional lapses into virtue
makes for timidity. for q certain un-

moments. Eternal vigilance is the
price Of success in graftins. It is ne
ceSsary to become specialist IN

order to succeed Take one form of
grating and stick to It, and all other
things shall be added unto yeu.
Then. again. the earnest CRATER re-
cognizes that, if he is 20 make a per-
manent success. he must keep HIM
self in good condition His home life,
therefore must be an ideal one.
Some of our most famous grafters
have had loving wives and golden
haired children. were home every
evening promptly at six. and never
touched a drop.
In grating, one must nave good
manners, a revolution to ones duty, a
sterling honesty of purpose. and a
continuous self-respect. Grating. in
its most exalted form. is in reality an
art. To become pre-eminent in it
one has to have an abounding faith
that a new victim is born every min
ute. Grating. indeed, may be ac-
quired By a certain amount of fasting
and praying, and prolonged patience.

\ COLUMBUS NEEDED.

To find more food for future Am
orleans we must discover America
We used to think thatthis had been
done for US some four centuries ago
by one Christopher Columbus. But
suppose that Columbus had left the
work uncompleted; suppose that as
much more remained to be discov-
cred.
Al the present time Americans are
getting their food and the food of
millions Of Europeans and Asiatics
from the eight hundred and forty
one million acres Of arabic land. We
are going 10 find another eight nun
dred and fOrty-one million acres. Not
in Canada. II may happen that IN
the coming century, Canada and the
United states will. unite In a newer
nation. so that the wheat fields Of Al
berta and Manitoba may be ruled by
the same law as those Of Minnesota
and the Dakotas. But apart from
! Canada, apart from any geographical
extension Of the United states, we are
going 10 increase our productive area.
We shall trench upon the desert, we
shall irrigate upon the one hand and
plow the unwatered desert upon the
other; we shall reclaim our swamp
covered lands, and turn useless into
productive soils. Most important OF
all. we shall convert lands Of small
productive into lands Of large pro-
ductlye capacity. If without any great
increase in capital or labor, we
double the amount OF wheat and corn
