RARSTOW MAKES STRONG
APPEAL FOR IRRIGATION

Pueblo. Colo, Sept 27.-George
Eames Barstow, of Barstow, Texas, for
mer president of the National 1rrtga-
ton congress; in an address delivered
here today before that body, made
strong appeal for irrigation, not only
as an economic project, but as an aid
to civilization and a potent factor IN
the worlds progress. His speech in
part follows:
.aThe first essential for a successful
issue of irrigation is a sufficient sup
ply of good water. One may possess
twenty, fifty, or one hundred thousand
acres of fine alluvial land, splendid eli
mate, nearby markets, etc, and yet, II
lacking a proper supply of water, he
need not look for a successful issue
I regret to say that there are men in
different parts of our country, who.
having gained possession of land, have
made the innocent suffer, and also
brought some disrepute on great and
most important national industry.
I'VE cannot too strongly condemn
operations of this kind, and 1 trust that
the committee on resolutions of this
congress will present for our adoption
a resolution on this matter setting the
subject before the country in no I'M
certain manner. If we are to continue
in irrigation by private enterprise In
the great arid and semi-arid parts OF
our nation, we must constantly draw
and hold the confidence of our mon
led interests and investing classes. We
can not hope for such most desirable
results if for one moment we counte-
nance those irrigation operations that
are designed to fitch the public.
History discovers to us that irri-
cation by private enterprise has always
been in the van. This has been true in
India, Syria, Babylon, Egypt. Java, I'M
der the successors of Montezuma; in
Chile, Peru, Argentina and the United
States. Before the English imperial
government began its great work in
irrigation in India, the people of India
by private enterprise had constructed
works of various types capable of irri-
eating twenty-five million acres of
land This acreage mas been increased
to over thirty million acres by private
enterprise; and over twenty million
acres by imperial government Such has
been the history of the governments
abroad that I have named; in 19011902
the United States of America played the
browning act on these lines for it's peo-
pie in the passage of the reclamation

act However, previous to the enact
ment of this law. private enterprise in
America had reclaimed many millions
Of acres of land by Irrigation; and to-
day the grand total by private enter
prise aggregates over eleven millions
of acres.
Il have observed some illusions or
criticisms in the far eastern press con-
corning the large amounts of money
going into private irrigation specula-
ton If these references have to do
with illegitimate irrigation enterpris-
es, and to which l have already made
reference, I applaud the same. If, on
the other hand, reference is had to the
immense investments that have been
and are being made in sound, CONNER
ciaI and productive irrigation enter
prise, then I condemn that part of the
press that has used its power in that
way. 1t is a narrow and circumscrib-

understanding, that, today would
place any stumbling block in the way
of an industry whose potential force
