WHAT SOME OF ITS READERS SAY 

 ABOUT THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



I have received only the one number so 

 far, and as I would not take $5 for that, 

 would like to get the others. 



B. B. DENUHE, Vekol, Ariz. 

 I consider THE AGE a very interesting 

 magazine for the whole country, as well as 

 the West. EDWARD L. BARTLETT, 



Santa Fe, N. M. 



I don't want THE AGE stopped. 



J. S. BARNES, Banker, 



Pratt, Kansas. 



THE IRRIGATION AGE is without question, 

 the best publication on irrigation matters, 

 and I prize it very highly. 



A. A. BATCHELDER, 



Pasco, Wash. 



THE AGE is good. JOHN A. BENSON, 

 San Francisco, Gal. 



THE AGE has been a welcome visitor at 

 the public library for some time, and is 

 highly valued by all our patrons. 



B. H. BARROWS, 



Librarian Public Library, Omaha, Neb. 

 You do indeed publish a nice looking 

 and very interesting monthly, and I think 

 it fills a long-felt want, and will help to 

 solve the problem of population and immi- 

 gration for Nebraska and the central West. 



GEO. P. BEMIS, 

 Ex-Mayor of Omaha, Neb. 

 I highly appreciate the good work THE 

 AGE has done, the contents of which I have 

 always valued. E. W. BLACK, 



North Loup. Neb. 



I hasten to send you $1 for renewal of 

 my subscription to THE AGE, as I am well 

 pleased with it, and also much interested 

 in windmill irrigation on the plains. I 

 firmly believe that it is our only way to- 

 ward a successful solution of permanently 

 settling this section of Kansas, as well as 

 many other sections of the plains country. 



JOHN E. BRETZ, 

 La Blanche, Kansas. 

 I have enjoyed THE AGE very much, and 

 would not do without it for four times its 

 cost. J- K. BREEDEN, 



Fort Pierre, So. Dak. 



THE IRRIGATION AGE is indispensable and 



is a very valuable paper. DR. J. B. BURNS, 



Plymouth Colony, Payette, Idaho. 



I consider your work the best thing in 



its line that I have ever seen, and I hope 



you will be able to continue on the lines 



already established by your publication. 



Every man interested in irrigation should 



read THE AGE. WM. BUTTON, 



Minneapolis, Minn. 



I hope you will meet the success your 

 truly valuable paper deserues. 



F. F. COLLINS, 



Pres't F. F. Collins Mfg. Co., 

 San Antonio, Texas.
