THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



(Continued from page 23.) 



farm machinery in the world, there is a large opportunity 

 for investigation by this Department of this branch of 

 our development. It is desired to receive help in it from 

 every source and we shall appreciate your opinion as to 

 its usefulness, as well as any suggestions which may 

 occur to you as to how we can most effectively make this 

 information of service. 



Sincerely yours,

JAMES WILSON, Director. 



Secretary of Agriculture. 



A Missoula, Montana, correspondent says : While 

 no definite plans have yet been decided on there is now 

 under discussion a scheme for the construction next sea- 

 son of a large irrigating system that will cover a con- 

 siderable portion of the land on the bench across the 

 river south of Missoula. One large canal has been 

 built this summer by the Orchard Homes Company. 

 This is nearly finished and will cover a large tract of 

 land. It is one of the largest ditches in this part of the 

 State and will result in the reclamation of a large tract 

 that is now almost entirely unproductive. 



The Kansas State Historical Society will hold its 

 thirty-sixth annual meeting in the State Capitol, To- 

 peka, on Dec. 29, 30, 31, 1902. One hundred dollars 

 will be given in premiums for exhibits of fruit. Pro- 

 grams will be issued soon.
