FIFTEENTH NATIONAL IRRIGA- 

 TION CONGRESS. 



What has been known as the Na- 

 tional Irrigation Congress heretofore 

 bids fair in the future to become an 

 Internutional Irrigation Congress. 

 Tile present year's meeting of this 

 Congress, which will be held in Cali- 

 fornia, at Sacramento, in the early 

 part of September, has been attracting 

 notice abroad, and the officials of for- 

 eign countries are expressing an inter- 

 est in the meeting. It is understood 

 even this early that Australia will be 

 represented and some delegates are 

 expected from there. This goes to 

 illustrate the world-wide interest in 

 Irrigation and Forestry — and the real 

 value of this event to the agricultural 

 inteiests of this country. 



During the Irrigation Congress ses- 

 sion extremely favorable railroad rates 

 will prevail, and arrangements have 

 been made for a thousand-mile ex- 

 cursion around the Sacramento Valley, 

 as well as special trains and low rates 

 for side trips, which will give Eastern 

 visitors to the Congress an opportunity 

 to see the a^'icultural and horticultural 

 side of California which is seldom 

 presented, and they will come in con- 

 tact with practical irrigation study at 

 the same time. Irrigation is a science 

 now-a-days, and is being recognized 

 as of impoilance in other sections than 

 the purely arid, and the ability of the 

 horticulturist to get the proper 

 amount of water in his soil at the 

 proper time and regardless of whether 

 the season sends rains opportunely or 

 inopportunely, is coming to be turned 

 more and more to account, and as 

 knowledge of such matters increase it 

 comes to be reckoned more and more 

 in value as dollars and cents. 



The list of trophies to be offered at 

 Sacramento ccmtinues to grow. It now 

 numbers no less than sixteen hand- 

 some gold and silver loving cups and 

 specially designed trophies, represent- 

 ing an aggregate cost of nearly ten 

 thousand dollars. Competition is open 

 to all States except California.
