ideal one for animal and vegc-
table life.
Hale County has had an aver
age rainfall of % inches for the
past 20 years. We have raised as
good crops here the two past sea
sons as the average section. II
we can farm by irrigation we will
increase the value of our lands
many times, for irrigated land is
never cheap land.
With an average rainfall Of "
inches, there will be many years
when irrigation will not be need
ed, or, if at all, only a few times
during the season. We have a
marked advantage over the arid
country that has irrigation and,
also, over the seasonable section
that depends solely upon rainfall
In the case Of the former, they
must depend upon irrigation
alone; in the case of the latter
rainfall only. The former meth
cd proves more expensive, the lat
ter unreliable.
The farmers in the artesian
belt recently discovered in south
west Texas are now facing ruin
on account of all1ali being brought
TO the surface in the water, and
burning up their crops. There is
no alkali, gyp nor salt IN the
waters of Hale county Thous-
ands of gardens show it-but
come and see for yourself.
A man of moderate means may
put in his own well and system OF
irrigation, and be his own master,
without having to wrangle over
the question of water rights, such
as the farmers of other irrigated
districts have to contend with.
The frozen regions Of the north
where the soil lies dormant hall
the year, and the biting winds
drive the stock to shelter and the
farmer to the fireside, are quite
different from the mild South
Plains-a land of perpetual sun
shine and many crops per year
with the drawbacks of the strong
west winds of the early spring
and the occasional irregularity
of the rainfall, only. But the
wind is the main reason why tins
is the most healthful region on
( the globe, and when our entire
section is moist with irrigation
no doubt the rainfall will be more
regular and abundant.
There is no question but that z
acres properly cultivated and If
rigated will produce more income
than 100 acres poorly titled anC
not irrigated at all. There is not
a country on the face of the eartf
that will surpass the South Plains
| in the production of a msJorltj
Of average farm products, mos
of the fruits and almost every va
riety of truck. This has beer
proven time and again by the

WHAT IRRIGATION MEANS
TO THE WHOLE WORLD

The following is taken from
the Hale County Herald 1t APP
plies with the same force to Sour
,Iry county as to our neighbor on
Rthe North. No county is blessed
with a greater abundance of
water, nor possesses richer soil
than Scurry County; when these
two elements are united under
skillful management the husband
man is sure to reap rioh har-
yest
Irrigation is as old as history
itself. 1t was known and used
with profit by the Egyptians
NThe rivers Nile, Amazon, Gauges
' and Danube have all furnished
their quota of liquid help for
mans enrichment, but never in
the history of the world has ir-
rigation received such an impet-
as as in recent years.
Mankind has awakened to the
fact that it is better to have one s
own rain, right at his door, the
kind that don't drench him to
\ the skin or soak his land so as to
stop nearly all work on his farm
for days and days at a time. lr-
rigation is the very best kind OF
rain, and the farmer controls 1t
at will, without the attendant OF
discomforts of the old-time
lightning's splutter and the thun-
der's roar.
In Hawaii, water for irrigation
purposes is lifted 600 feet, yet,
Notwithstanding that enormous
expense, farming in that country
pays 300 per cent more per acre
than in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and Kansas, and fully 1000 per
acre than in the New England
states.
The growing season is three
months in Colorado, only 10 days
in which to plant, cultivate and
harvest one crop. The balance OF
tSe pear the farmer may be up to
his neck in snow, yet irrigated
land in that state, that so far has
never felt pillow share, is bring
ing 5000 per acre and over, be
cause the adjoining land already
under cultivation has demonstrat-
ed its worth.
Over most of the Northwestern
states the United States Govern
ment has expended large sums OF
public money locating irrigation
systems to bring arid lands UNI
der the pillow. What would APP
pear as high prices have been
charged settlers for these same
lands, and they have hard sled,
ding with perhaps six months OF
non-producing weather, yet, with
all Of that, the Northwest has be-
come one of the Nation s great
storehouses, proving beyond ques-
tion the value of irrigation.
II can be said without exagger-
alton that the South Plains oil,
fers today the most inviting held
in the United States for the man
who desires to farm a few acres
of land under the most favoTable
circumstances as to climate, SOL,
water. market, and nome
conditions. A farm of 10 or ~
acres here, properly titled, Will
net the owner as much as the av'
eraee farm of 100 or 200 acres III

These lands, under intensive cul,
t;yation. intelligent selection OF
crops and marketing OF produce
