tends 25 feet below the bed of tho
river. The capacity of the reservoir
is 100000 cubic feet of water
flowing t3512 cubic feet per second.
This storage basin is a part of the
tank system which has been originated
to prevent flood in times of abnormal
rainfall.
Another masterpiece constructed BY
the English is the Assuan dam in
Egypt. The Nile was the first river
whose waters were used for irriga-
ting and proper that on this river
should be located the worlds largest
masonry dam. The canal system CON
nected with it irrigates the fertile
plains along the river, thus changing
p, 900 square miles Of desert land be-
tween Ossiout and Cairo into fields of
growing luxuriance and wealth with
cane and cotton as the leading crops.
Some of Americas Projects
In the United States most of the ir-
rigatiOn projects are the results of the
efforts of former President Roosevelt
who created the reclamation service.
One of these stands as a monument
bearing his name. 1t is the Roosevelt
dam in Arizona, n of the first to ba
completed under the reclamation act.
1t has a wall $50 feet high, a capacity
of $4,000, 600, 900 cubic feet and waters
10000 acres.
One of the desert areas which was
thought impossible to irrigate is the
Imperial valley of California, previous
~ mentioned. What was formerly a
valley of death which few attempted to
cross is now one of the most fruitful
spots in the land. The waters of the
Colorado of the west, that reckless and
turbulent river, are being conserved
and used to irrigate the growing grain
of the valley.
Another immense undertaking was
the Elephant Butte dam, recently CON-
pleted. This ~irrigates land in Texas,
Arizona and New Mexico. the area be-
ing the largest watered by any reser-
voir in this country.
In Montana the United States recla-
nation service has two very successful
projects, the Milk River in the north
ern part of the state near Malta, and
the Sun River farther south. near Gill
man. However. Montana's largest
project is not a federal one, but a Carey
act project managed by a private COM
pany and governed By the state Carey
act board. This is the Waller project.
located 120 miles northwest OF Great
Falls. The town of Waller is situated
at the heart of the irrigated district,
and it is there that the administration
offices are located. The water. which
is plentiful, is stored by the Swift dam
in the mountains and in Lake Frances
reservoir, south of Waller. This prof.
ect is one of the most successful in
the west.
Others are the Willow River in Ore
gon. the Boise-Payette with the Arrow
Rock dam in Idaho, the Shoshone in
Wyoming. the Salt River in Arizona
and the Yakima in Washington.
Irrigation is q great and noble work,
worthy of our best efforts. In the past
and in the present. enterprises along
this line have been very successful. In
our country alone. We nave many well
developed projects and u nation
should be proud of them. May the
work continue to prosper.

each division is q steel gauge, which
resembles the steering wheel on a troll
ley car. The headgates require care
full attention throughout the i%rrigating
season. so there is always a man sta
toned nearby. whose duty it is to con-
troll and check the water supply.
Three Materials Used
In many places there are large hills
and deep valleys which cannot be trav-
ersed by the water. Because of this,
fumes have been built. They are
rounded troughs of steel or wood, and
are supported by legs varying in length
with the slope of the land. They are
not considered permanent and must be
replaced every few years.
Coming nearer home, there are the
check boxes. These are boxes made of
wood and located at the upper end of
the farmers field. Across the top of
them are Stats to hold them rigid while
in the interior are sliding gates to
regulate the flow of water. The check
box is the most intricate Of all irriga-
ton apparatus.
In building irrigation systems three
materials are used: Wood. concrete
and steel. Wood is used largely for
fumes and for check boxes. 1t is a
temporary material and, at the longest,

tons and to Americanize the foreign
ers is to place them in good farming
communities where they will 700 take
up the American ideas of their neigh
bors. The reader may be asking the
question, But what has irrigation to
do with all this|" Just this: The farm
ing lands of the east and middle west
are already densely populted and there
is no room for the newcomers, SO they
must go farther west. But if the land
in the west were not watered, it would
be a meager living. indeed, that they
would wrest from the soil. Therefore
irrigation enables us to assimilate i'm
migrants by making a fit place for
them to live where they will take up
American customs AMI American
ideas.
Reclamation is not a local problem;
it is a national problem. The bene-
fits derived from irrigation affect not
only the westerner. but the entire
United States, because by it the whole
ration is helped financially and So
cially.
The structure of irrigation systems
is rather complex. Therefore the
most competent engineers must be
employed. In the matter of construc-
ton there are three important things
to considerable plan as q whole, the

of French engineers have increased

as well as augmented the fertility OF
the land extending from either side OF
the Nile river.
Other foreign countries in which ir-
rlgation is practical are Italy, Russia,
Australia, Hawaii, Canada, and the
countries of South America. In all OF
these places the desired results have
been attained.
We are probably more or less famil-
lar with the reclamation work which is
being carried in in the United States.
mostly in the western part. and along
the Gulf of Mexico. In the northern
states irrigation has enabled the farm

grains. Where, before. the country was

raised with much success.
In the south. in California, Arizona
and along the gulf. men are becoming

acres in humid regions.
Mari Kanave Reservoir
In the rise and progress of western
states, a large share of the total reve-
nues has been derived from irrigation.
Throuh the agency of water wisely
used, deserts have been changed into
productive fields and orchards and
fiocks and herds have taken the place
of wild animals. 1t has also furnished
food for those who live in cities. and
raw material for the manufacturer.
Irrigation has really only begun. So
far the results have been pleasing.
Therefore we have every reason to be-
lieve that in the continuation of the
reclamation program, everything will
be entirely successful.
At the present time there are many
irrigation projects worthy of notice.
Some of these are located abroad.
mostly on British domains, and have
been constructed by British engineers.
Others. which are American made"
are more interesting to us.
In India the English government has
constructed one of the greatest reser-
voirs in the empire. the Mari Kanave
in Mysore. The plans for this were
drawn By Col. MacNeal Campbell in
1901. but actual work on the dam was
not begun until 1898. The Mari
Kanave is located where the river
passes through a gorge. In this very
favorable arrangement. permanency

individual structures, and the mate

An irrigation System
The plan as a whole may be thought
of as an intricate net work of canals
and bitches. The water is first stored
in a great reservoir which is filled by
the heavy spring rains and the melt
ing of the winters SHOWS. The water
Their goes rushing down a large canal
to a place called the ~headgates, where
it is apportioned out to q number of
smaller canals, each of which goes to
a different part of the area to be irri-
gated. These, in turn, divide into
smaller canals and the latter are con-
verified into the bitches which go to
the individual farms. But this is not
the final division. There are small
bitches still. which go to the various
fields. In many fields there are fur
rows about four inches apart called
.corrugation marks. When the water
reaches these it has only to soak into
attraction. 1t is a long distance from
the basin in the mountains to the
corrugation marks in the field, and
bringing the water to the farmer in
this way involves infinite work and
labor, both mental and physical.
In considering the individual struc-
lures we must begin with the reservoir
in which the water is stored. In order
to have a reservoir there must be a
dam on at least one side, This is made
of concrete with steel bands to
it and must be very strong.
