Irrigated Land. 



To make an irrigated farm in Southern Alberta most pro- 

 fitable at the present time, a major portion of it should be kept 

 in hay, probably alfalfa. With good management, alfalfa may 

 be made to yield from four to six tons per acre, which makes 

 stock feeding or dairying profitable.
