Shall We Iirigate.

Almost every day we see samples
OF the value of irrigation in this
country and the fact is pressed
home TO us are; that irrigation is
just now a matter Of supreme inn
portance. with irrigation we can
grow all sorts Of crops In abundance
while without it in dry years We are
confronted with agricultural disas-
ter.
We ought not TO walt longer in
this matter when we know we have
an abundance Of water and know
what this water will do when prop
erly applied to the crops. Our peo-
pie are waking up to the opportuni-
ties In their reach and the Signal
believes that something will be ac-
complished I'm practical way. IL has
been suggested that we have a pub
lie meeting of business men and
farmers and discuss the matter OF
irrigation and see how many will
agree to irrigate any quantity Of
land from a garden spot TO ten
acre field. II is not considered prac
teal to lrrigate an entire quarter
section In fact II is said that FIVE
or ten acres will support a family,
IL properly irrigated and ten acres
can be made to produce as much
as is now made on 100 acres there
is no reason why a man should
worry over a big plantation. Il is
believed best to organize an irriga-
tlon association so the people may
work to each others hands, instead
OF having each fellow try to conduct
an independent plan. Then---if Q
can grow a surplus OF fruits or veg
etables-we will be in position to
reach the markets to better effect
as an association than as individ-
uals We ought TO discus the busi-
ness from all standpoints and send
representatives TO Pecos and other
places TO study the practical side
Of the matter so that we may go
into II intelligently. The Signal
would be glad to publish sugges-
tions and ideas from our people so
that We may get down to the real
merits of the proposition and en-
list the active cooperation OF all
our people.
