per acre annually. So we are talking 

 about a proved profitable business, on 

 soils eminently fitted for irrigation, and 

 in a climate which for fifteen years has 

 not failed to show profitable results. 



Is Keystone Project 



The progress of the Lethbridge North- 

 ern is looked upon as the keystone to 

 further irrigation development. The 

 lands now under irrigation around 

 Lethbridge, roughly 82,000 ares, made 

 a gross production record in 1919 of 

 $54.71 per acre; so it is hardly to be 

 wondered at that those other areas to 

 which water may be brought are most 

 anxious for irrigation. 



There are three other districts whose 

 lands can be watered, like the Lethbridge 

 Northern, from all-Canadian streams. 

 They are the United District, west of 

 Cardston, 15,000 acres irrigable; the 



LUMBERMEN ATTENTION! 



Cut shows tug crossing Bay Chaleur with over 

 2,000,000 in tow. Distance 35 miles. 



Invesigate our new patented towing 

 and holding boom. Will save its cost 

 many times over in preventing logs 

 going adrift while being towed in open 

 watv, or for boomng swift running 

 rivers where logs are held.

Lone Rock, north of that, 10,000 acres; 

 and the South Macleod, 30,000 acres. 



The Dominion Reclamation Service is 

 completing surveys on some of these, as 

 well as on lands around Lomond, Trav- 

 ers. Enchant, and Sundial, north-east of 

 Lethbridge, which may get water for 

 100,000 acres on an extension of the 

 Lethbridge Northern canals. 



In addition to these, irrigation may be 

 carried to great areas south and east of 

 Lethbridge, roughly 400,000 acres, from 

 the waters of the St. Mary's and Milk 

 Rivers ; but these streams are not all- 

 Canadian and the question of the divi- 

 sion of the use of the waters is now un- 

 der discussion and adjudication between 

 United States and Canada before the 

 International Joint Commission. An 

 early solution of this situation is eagerly 

 looked for. 



With all the safeguards that have been 

 devised for the management of irriga- 

 tion Districts; with the Irrigation Coun- 

 cil of Alberta in direct supervision of the 

 farmer-trustees ; and by the general over- 

 looking eye of the Dominion Reclama- 

 tion Service, there is no need to fear 

 that every project will be carefully 

 scrutinized in all its operations ; and no 

 doubt need be felt that these public irri- 

 gation projects will, very soon after 

 their practical inception, command the 

 sound financial credit to which they will 

 be entitled.
