ROAD TO RICHES
II 10 Magic Key for Unlocking Won
drous Wealth to Soil TiiIer-
insures Crop.

Irrigation is the magic key for IN
locking wondrous riches to the soil
tiller, writes William r. Draper in an
exchange. 1t is the surest crop insur-
nee. He who sows must also reap
beautifully. Caprices of the elements
cannot injure those who secure their
rainfall from irrigation canals. In
such districts wet seasons are un-
known. The dry. %sunshiny climate OF
an irrigation district means health
full conditions to all.
There are seventy or more govern
ment and private irrigation districts
in the west. The United States recla-
nation service is now spending mil
lions Of dollars every year in conquer
ing mountain streams, making them
pour their waters of wealth Upon semi
arid land, stinted by insufficient pre-
c~ipitation, otherwise blessed by deep,
rich soil and ideal growing easons.
The farm wealth Of this country
has already been increased several
billion dollars through the reclama-
ton work of five years. and since crop
returns from the newly developed IT.
TiSdtIOu ulSlTlCIS nave cXCeSutu even
the dreams of the most optimistic
reclamation advocates, this ley and
great irrigation work naturally gath
ers friends and force.
1t will transform the waste places
of u country into garden spots. The
wonder workers back of this new
wealth-giving department of our gov
eminent are resourceful and indie
fatigable. So those who seek out in
the west and southwest opportunities
in land investment must not overlook
irrigable lands.
