Novel IrrloatIon Experiment.

Meeker-An unusual irrigation prof
ect, which is being watched by the
Western slope with interest, is being
tried on what is known here as Blair
mesa, twenty-seven miles from Meek
er. The major part OF the land on this
mesa - 500 acres - is owned by
Phelps brothers. 1t Is unusually good
land, the soil being rich. but it has
been impossible to get water to it by
ditch from any stream of the county
with the result that the land remained
vacant until the Phelps brothers filed
on It, The idea of the brothers is to
install a turbine pumping plant, with
canals and iaterals. which will auto
matically raise the water to the level
of the land and then distribute it
evenly.
