WANTS AMERICAN FARMERS
Fred c. Covers. irrigation expert from
the state of New South Wales Aus
tralia. is in Phoenix studying condi-
lions with a view of ascertaining
whether it is possible to interest
practical irrigation farmers in the
government project launched in New
South Wales. The conditions pre-
vailing here are. it seems. almost
identical with those in New South
Vale. and consequently, a farmer in
these parts who has been following
the practice of cultivation under ir-
rigable conditions should. when trans
ported to New South Wales, be able
to make good. says Mr.. Covers In
order to encourage the best type of
men to make their homes in New
South Wales the government offers
first-class land on easy terms and
abundant water derived from a stor-
age dam.
