the second Sept. 1 and then continue

methods as you have here in the United
States. The methods of disseminating
knowledge along advanced lines through
the workers in your goveroment depart

with the money expended by state and

place your country in the lead in this
industry.
Gas yet our methods are rather crude
and primitive the farming classes not
being educated to the degree which
obtains here but we are advancing along
numerous lines. A large section Of our
country is of a nature which requires
irrigation and we have probably the
largest dam built for irrigation purposes
in the world This dam extends across
an immense valley and has been the
means of opening up vast area of farm
land. In some sections our irrigation
bitches are supplied from wells, the
water being drawn by manual labor.
Some oil pumping machines are in use
now, and the time may come when

Cooperative Work in Irrigation
For years we have desired inves-
tigational work in irrigation, ,practic-
al work that will help the irrigator in
the field, and attempts have been
AsInade from time to time to do work
S@ag this line. Funds have, how
ever, been short and the work is so
expensive that it has been necessary
to put off untiltomorrow what could
not be done today.
Now, however, a change has taken
place. The last Colorado legislature
appropriated $4,000 for experiment
tai work in irrigation and drainage.
This was later cut by Goyenernor
Shafroth, together with other appro-
priations, to $4,000, in order to bring
it within the revenue Of the state.
In order to make the work as broad
as possible a meeting was held in
Denver, June 21st, with Prof. Samuel
Fortier, head of the irrigation di-
vision of the U. S. Bureau Of Elk
perimental Stations, and DR.. A. G.
True, U. S. Director of experiment
Stations; the President of the Agri-
cultural College, members of the
State Board of Agriculture, and rep
resentatives from the irrigation en-
gineering department of the College.
1t was there decided that the us.
government and the state of Colo
RADIO should cooperate in the irriga-
ton work for Colorado and a con-
tract was signed whereby each party
agrees to pay the sum of $5,S00 for
this work.
With an expenditure of practically
81 00O cnrp1v Interesting and
profitable work should be done.The
work has been started and is pro-
crossing nicely. Although it was a
little late in the season to do much
field work this summer We Shall be
ready and on the grounds when next
| years irrigation season opens.
This work will include the appli-
cation of water to crops by different
methods, showing the advantages of
one system over another.
The best time to irrigate crops on
different soils and how much water to
supply is another problem.
Irrigation pumping plants of Colo
rado will come in for their share of
the work. The study of different fac
tors affecting the flow of water in
bitches, head works, and weirs, will
also be taken up.
1t is to be hoped that the work
just started will be carried on for
years and thatmany of the irrigation
problems may be solved which will
bring dollars into the pockets of the
Colorado farmer and be a great bene-
fit to the state of Colorado.
