many eastern people that this
mode of farming is hardship
and that necessity for irrigation
is misfortune; while in fact.
the necessity and the ability To
irrigate the richest soil in Amer

of circumstances. Irrigation simp-

drouth period and insures against
crop failure.
Irrigation has long since pass
ed the experimental stage and
has proven grand success, so
much so. that the United States
Government has not only eXpend-
ed over $50.000.00O in direct CON
struction of irrigation works. but

of over 100000 acres. 1t will
be the only irrigated tract in

IRRIGATION.

Irrigation is the application of
water to land by some artificial
means for the purpose of stimu-
ulating the growth of crops. This
is done by the construction of
bitches which convey the water
by action of gravity from the
source of supply, be it well, reser-
voir or stream. These bitches are
so aligned and graded that the
water will flow through and
from them into minor channels,
and from these again be distribut
edin the fields through plowed or
drilled burrows.
