There will be some to say that the
supply OF water OF this shallow wat
er belt cannot hold out. but such q
charge Is nothing less than absurd
ity Some OF the welle nave been
pumped for two or three years nj
the rate OF 1909 TO 1000 gallons per
minute, and there are now wells In
the aforesaid belt yielding 5000 gal
Ions per minute.
II matters not how close the wells
are one To another the supply OF wa
ter Is unvarying and inexhaustible.
aud practical experience. supported
by scientific investigation and opin-
ion lead unerringly to but one con-
clusion and that n that the supply
OF water can never be diminished or
exhausted Another important fea-
ture Is. that the water OF this belt Ia
as clear and pure as the best the
world affords.
In many other regions where irri-
cation Is employed extensively the
water rs heavily charged with alkali
and such other minerals, tending TO
impoyerish the soil. and In no smal!
degree injurious to plant life, and
from this one can draw his own con-
illusions as to the superior advan-
tages Of this matchless irrigation

Shallow Water Bcit Natural Home
of the Sugar Beet
One great crop that will follow
the development Is that OF the sugar
beet. which can be produced In
degree of abundance and superiority
OF quality nowhere surpassed o. e.
ualed on this or any other continent.
Az Is well known the sugar beet DE-
fiVos its SUGAR aoaon through ~

huting factor 70 rich sugar content u

production Of sugar beets has been
found a profitable industry In Cali
fornia. Utah. Nebraska. Wyoming
and Colorado
Sugar beets can be produced al
most anywhere, but would be so low
in per cent OF sugar content as to be
Improbable. because OF a greater
rainfall with too much humidity of
the atmosphere and too many cloudy
DAYS. Sugar beets produced In the
Panhandle have shown under analy-
sis sugar content equal OF any
aud superior To most that are grown
iu any of the aforenamed states.
Ia the shallow water belt irriga-
iiou, with the rich soil would insure
the growth and the sunshine would
insure the profitable and superior
sugar content. and with such known
