tors, lawyers and editors, with a sufficient sprinkling of ministers of 

 the gospel to give the right, tone. The gentleman labled 19, who 

 stands at the extreme right of the group, is the well known coliniza- 

 tion agent of the Union Pacific Railway, Mr. Geo, L. McDonaugh 

 who if energy, persistency and everlasting work counts for any- 

 thing should be drawing at least $10,000 a year from his employers. 

 This photo hardly does Mr. McDonaugh justice and the IRRIGA- 

 TION AGE will show in some future issue a truer likeness of this gen- 

 ial gentleman. It is our intention to devote attention and space in 

 later issues of the AGE to this site and should the government decide 

 to make its first reservoir at Pawnee Pass we will carefully note 

 progress of work and illustrate it in its different stages of develop- 

 ment. The other photos shown illustrate scenes at the time of the 

 visit to this site of Dr. F. H Newell Chief Hydrographer of the 

 United States Geological Survey.

IRRIGATION IN FIELD AND GARDEN. 



BY PROFESSOR E. J. WICKSON. 



(Reprinted from Farmers' Bulletin No. 138, issued by U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.) 



CHOICE OF AN IRRIGATION METHOD. 



In the discussion of the different methods of applying water inci- 

 dental mention has been made of the particular adaptations of each. 

 It may be further suggested that the choice of method is to be made 

 in accordance withiseveral conditions: 



(1) The slope of the land. This is obviously a ruling factor, but 

 its relation to the different methods described has already been dis- 

 cussed in connection with each method. 



(2) The character of the crop. Small grains and forage crops 

 which are best grownifrom'broadcast sowing are open only to flooding
