SAYS MUST USE
LES5IRRIGATION
Farm Agent Harwell, Real
tors Speaker, Says the
Water Plane Rising.

The problem Of drainage always
follows that Of irrigation. and when
we think we have the latter solved.
the former comes in and knocks our
work on the head In El Paso valley.
we are fundamentally sick on the
drainage problem, and unless there
is some energetic action. we will get
worse. The proper concerted senti-
ment must be aroused among the
farming public. because the reclama-
ton service is a democratic institu-
ton and cannot force the limited use
OF water"
This is the problem presented in FL
Paso valley in the matter of water.
farm agent Roland Harwen told
members Of the real estate board at
their weekly meeting Tuesday noon
at Hotel Sheldon. Mr.. Harwell said
the whole project last year used
seven feet OF water and the rise in
the level shows that more water was
put on the land than could be crowded
out by drainage He thought less
water ought to be used now than
drainage takes care of. in order that
the level could be lowered and water
logging in the future be prevented
Farm Bureau. Trade Body.
the organization Of the county farm
bureau. which will handle marketing
and other problems. He declared
that " a farm bureau is nothing more
nor less than a trade association. and
its relations TO realtors is a very
close one. because their most legiti-I
mate advertising depends on the sue
cess Of the men on tie land"
VIII Have Crop Survey.

administrator. said that one Of the
crop survey. so that marketing oil
crops to be produced could be ar
ranged beforehand
That the water level in the city Of

eventuallv need a drainage system
was the statement by way Of Incl.

at the meeting.
