also held on that evening. The fishing
and bathing are fine. and the rough

popular pastime. Crabs are plentiful and
feasts are held most every evening in the
large crabhOuse. Moonlight sailing is
again beginning to be q pleasant recre-
alton. and parties are always taking ad-
vantage of this opportunity. The lake in
the rear of the hotel has always upon it
pleasure seekers. who enjoy canoeing
and rowing. Launch parties are seen
every day taking in the nearby landings.

cessfully in the department of agricul-
ture, but it ought not to escape pub
lie attention hat State aetion/in addi-
ton to that of the department of agri-
culture tas, for instance, in the drainage
Of swamp lands) is essential to the
best treatment of the soils in the man
ner above indicated.
The act by which, in semi-arid parts
Of the public domain, the area of the
homestead has been enlarged from 100
to $40 acres has resulted most BEN
eficially in the extension of dry farm
ing" and in the demonstration which
has been made of the possibility,
through u variation in the character
and mode of culture, of raising sub
stantial crops without the presence of
such a supply of water as has been
heretofore thought to be necessary for
agriculture.
But there are millions of acres of
completely arid land in the public do
main which, by the establishment of
reservoirs for the storing of water and
the irrigation of the lands, may be
made much more fruitful and produc-
tive than the best lands in a climate
where the moisture comes from the
clouds. Congress recognized the impor-
tanee of this method of artificial dis
tribution of water IN the arid lands
by the passage of the reclamation act.
The proceeds of the public lands ere,
ates The fund to build the works needed
to store and furnish the necessary wa
ter, and it was left to the secretary Of
the interior to determine what projects
should be selected among those sug-
gested and to direct the reclamation
| service, with the funds at hand and
through the engineers in it's employ,
to construct the worlss.
No one can visit the Far West n
the country of arid and semi-arid lands
without being convinced that this is
one of the most important methods of
conservation of our natural resurces
that the government has entered upon.
II would appear that over thirty
projects have been undertaken, and
that a few of these are. likely to be un-
successful because of lack of water,
or for other reasons. but generally the
work which has been done has been
well done, and many important en-
cheering problems have been met and
solved.
TOO Many Projects ON Hand.
one of the difficulties which has
arisen lis that too many projects in
view of the available funds have been
set on foot. The funds available under
the reclamation statute are inadequate
to complete these projects within q
reasonable time. And yet the projects
have been begun; settlers have been
invited to take up and, in many in
stances, have taken up, the public land
