IRRIGATION
REPORT GIVEN
A. l.. Fellows. U. S. Engineer
Would Change Law

A. l.. Fellows, chief of the division
of agricultural engineering, Denver,
Colo, who was North Dakota state
engineer in 1905. 1906, 1907, in
letter to State Engineer W. G. Black
urges that the state Legislature
amend an old "irrigation district
law" now on the books so as to keep
abreast with the best modern prac-
tice in irrigation, and that a $4,000
appropriation for irrigation eXper-
! mental work be appropriated. This,
, he says will be matched by an equal
sum from the federal irrigation de-
partment.
Referring to his own experiences
as state engineer, his own knowledge
of the state and commencing the
present engineering department for
its work in irrigation surveys. Mr.
Fellows declares there are many
plots along the Mouse, Heart, Can
non Ball, Knife and other river:
ranging in size from few to sew
eral thousands acres which could b'
irrigated at very small expense.
The bill presented in the hous,
i'last week by Rep. Roberts Of Mer
Ger county calls for $4,000 appro
priation for irrigation experimental
work at site along the Knife rive
near Beulah, and this site Mr.. Eel
lows specifically mentions in his re
sumo of irrigation possibilities i
North Dakota as contained in tn
letter to State Engineer Black.

says. Claims, are still being con-

limitation on the filing Of claims is
that the claim must be filed within
five years after his disability is ten
percent or more in extent. All
claims filed after Jan. 1, 1926, how
ever must be supported by proof
showing the manner in which the
disability incurred in service, he
added. Unless proof is submitted
showing this fact, the claim will be
disallowed. This does not mean that
the claimant is not entitled to con.
sideration by the Bureau for other
benefits, he said. 81
Men suffering from disabilities re-
quiring medical treatment may be

ment without compensation, Mr.
Murphy said.
