CANADA READY 'FuR Ful| ~
&. 80. IRRIGATION MEET

Calgary, Alta, Aug. s4.--Bftle by
side on the eastern section of the Ca
madam Pacific. irrigation project in
Alberta, some so miles to the east
of Calgary. the convention city of
the international irrigation congress
this year, are farmers who will reap
big crops and others who will have
scarcely any. The difference has
been made by the scientific appiica-
tion of water and shows the need of
education along this line.
AT the irrigation congress. October
5 to 3 next, there will be practical
irrigationists from localities where
widely different conditions prevail.
including many from countries where
conditions are similar to those in Al
berta. The existing difficulties of
these frrigationists have been met
and overcome in other places and
the experiences OF these successful
ones will be an invaluable aid to the
farmers in Alberta in the coming
years. In irrigation work Canadian
farmers have much TO learn from
their more experienced brothers in
the south, while on the other hand,
there are subjects touching OH irri-
cation in which the American farmer
can take a lesson from the Canadian.
Visitors ami delegates to the con-
gress this year will have an oppor-
tunity to see the largest single irri-
CATION project on the North Ameri-
can continent. and to talk with those
successful settlers on the land. The
excursion to Bassano, free to dele
gates, will be one OF the Interesting
features OF the first congress in Can
ada, and will demonstrate to visitors
to what extent irrigation has been
developed in western Canada. This
project has about $500 miles of can
ais and tributary bitches and cost
millions of dollars. Approximately
100000 acres will eventually be rem
dered irrigabie in this section.
