ferent crops, pastures, etc., which will do well in your lo-

7. Irrigation Play Contests 



1. Drawing contests of irrigation plans, projects and 

 methods of distributing water. 



2. Tool making contest, making levelers, corrugators, 

 V shaped drag, and ridger. 



3. Irrigation spelling contest, using terms or words 

 common to irrigation methods, tools and practises. 



4. Table or out-of-door soil construction of irrigation 

 plans and systems, a contest to see who can make out of soil, 

 clay, putty, or paper pulp, the best miniature irrigated 

 farm, illustrating source of water, locks, dams, ditches and 

 field distribution methods. 



5. Arithmetical problem-making and solving contest ; 

 all problems must concern costs, measurements, water ren- 

 tals, etc., as directly related to irrigation. 



8. Irrigation Club Projects 



Club projects on any or all of the crops outlined in the 

 other chapters can be undertaken on the irrigated land with 

 great success. The cultural methods used, rental of land, 

 and kind of crops will of necessity be recommended and 

 outlined on a different basis. 



It is quite possible that a Reclamation Club would be 

 a good thing in localities where there is much adjoining 

 land unused and a possible water supply. This proj- 

 ect should be based upon the method and economy of recla- 

 mation, management of plot, yield, cost, exhibit of pro- 

 ducts, and records kept.
