The friends of irrigation have had
much over which they might rejoice the
past few months. Early In its sessions
the national Congress amended the CEN
sus act authorizing the collection of irri-
cation statistics. The census bureau
has been, and is. busy on these as well
as other figures, and before many months
the country will have irrigation informa-
ton of the greatest value never before
available.
In 1917 the government, through the
reclamation act, did more than authorize
the digging of bitches and diversion of
water. The government through that
act. placed the seal of approval on irri-
cation which has made possible not only
the reclamation work of the government
but also enabled private enterprise to
secure capital for worthy undertakings
on scale never previously possible
And in the closing days of it's session the
national Congress still further encour-
aged Irrigation work by authorizing the
issue of $20,0O0,0O0 worth of certificates
| to complete the reclamation projects now
| under construction.
| The eighteenth National Irrigation
Congress will meet at Pueblo In Sep
TENDER under suspicious circumstances
for its work to "save the forests, store
the floods, reclaim the deserts, make
homes on the land" It's work will be
Influenced by the expression of their
