HUMID AND ARID IDAHO.
Enthusiastically. Idaho is divided into
two parts. east and west. The northern
portion, comprising six counties, IS SIT
united within the humid belt where suiii
cicnt precipitation Is generally rccclNca
for the development of crops. Through
out the entire southern portion, which
embraces the remaining II counties,
Irrigation is necessary, Here the average
precipitation in rain during the year
is only about i6 inches, while IN the
north it amounts TO about % inches.
But even with this amount of rainfall.
the farmers Of the northern section find
crop production Is not always assured
and they are. therefore, preparing
themselves against the periods of
drought by constructing canals and
Installing complete system of arti-
fetal irrigation. Thus, with the eX-
ccption Of Bonner and Shoshone coin-
ties which are devoted to mineral and
timber production, all the counties OF
the state are practising irrigation. The
total acreage in the entire northern sec
ton now being served by irrigation
would not exceed $4,000, which Is the
work Of private and quasi-public enter
prise The acreage In the southern. or
arid. portion of the state irrigated from
the same source, Is fully 1.95b,0n0. The
total land therefore. irrigated by what
we may term private concerns Is con-
servatveiy estimated at 100000 acres.

A PREDICTION.

At the formal opening OF the United
States Land and Irrigation exposition
In Chicago, Nov 49, 1910. James VIII
son, secretary Of agriculture. stated in
his address:
Tho day will come when irrigation
will be applied as a matter of ma
tional necessity, to tho GROWING of
crops in the humid regions of the
country, something that has been done
for hundreds of years in European
countries that have over 40 inches OF
rainfall
I'VE will have to begin at the sources
of our rivers in the mountains. where
the rivulet forms the creek and the
creek eventually forms the river.
Reservoirs Will be built at the heads
of our streams to be used in periods
OF drought All countries OF which I
have any knowledge have periods of
drought. Some of our states have 30
inches of rainfall and yet they have
periods of drought. These dry times
prevent the growing of maximum
crops"
AS far as human insight will reach,
this Is an absolutely true prediction,
and there are doubtless many sections
OF the country whose inhabitants Will
some day look back to .Secy Wilson
as a kind of prophet; but Idaho never
will. at least so far as this prediction
Is concerned; for his statement Is to
this state simply n sketch of past his
tory--we have been acting and living
for quarter OF century what he
prophecies shall one day, come TO pass
In this country.
Idaho boasts of the greatest con-
tiyuous irrigated area In ~ world, 1t
is situated in the great Snake River
valley and comprises fully 100000
acres OF choice agricultural land. In

erects hotels. builds school houses. in
stalls electric power plants. constructs
city waterworks, and builds electric
railroads.&c. for the welfare and
convenience OF the settlers--to induce
them to come and settle" and make
them feel at home.
What i have here related Is not a
part Of every Carey act project in this
state; but every project has a part of
1t and some of the projects have all
of It. So 1t is, in a few words. what a
typical Carey act project In Idaho
calls for.
Situated as Idaho is. right In the
center of the great finland Basin,''
and endowed as she Is with the riches
of a world locked in her bosom. and
clad in the lavish bounty of nature,
all good Is at once predictable for her.
Her great store of minerals, her In
mense forests. her grain and fruits.
her sublime climate. her incXhaustiblc
water supply and her broad fertile
acres appeal with an irresistible i'm
pulse to the man and woman who
want home in clean, sweet, whole
some country. Thus, Idaho Is growing
to an extent that she Is enved by
all her rivals In the west. and as she
grows she becomes more beautiful and
pleasant, and as proud as young
mother.

DRY FARMS GALORE.
Three regular passenger trains and
one mixed train of the Oregon Short
Line stop at Downey every day.
Around this tract there are now 3d.
900 acres of arid land that is culti-
waited dry and has been for years
which produces annually from 90 to
40 bushels of wheat to the acre and
heavy crops of two-row and slx-row
barley and 100 bushels of oats to the
acre. The wheat from these dry farms

Idaho and Utah and It's superior
