THE IRRIGATION AGE. 

 FARMERS' NATIONAL CONGRESS. 



393 



Arrangements for the forthcoming session of the 

 Farmers' National Congress are about concluded and 

 a great gathering of the farmers of the United States 

 is anticipated. An excellent program has been pre- 

 pared with some of the most important national agri- 

 cultural questions of the day discussed by leading ex- 

 perts; a remarkably interesting place scenically, his- 

 torically, and agriculturally has been selected for the 

 assembly. The railroads have given liberal reduced 

 rates; the public spirited citizens of Rock Island, 111., 

 where the meetings are to be held, have planned a 

 number of sight-seeing and social functions for the 

 visitors; the governors of most of the States have ap- 

 pointed delegates. The opening session will be Tues- 

 day, October 9, at 10 a. m., and the meetings hold 

 through the week. Anyone can attend the sessions and 

 take advantage of the reduced railroad rates. Those 

 intending to go should apply at once to their local 

 railroad agent that he may have proper blanks and in- 

 formation.

HOW TO SECURE HOMES IN IDAHO. 



Irrigated Farm and Fruit Land in the Famous Snake River Valley. 



This advertisement is addressed to the thousands who want homes in a country where the climate is ideal, where 

 opportunities abound and where farming and fruit growing and stock raising are taken out of the speculative column and 

 placed in the class of sure, safe and profitable business enterprises. 



If you contemplate locating in Idaho or the West you should understand something about what is necessary to secure 

 irrigated tracts under the Carey Law. The following will assist you: 



1st. Make your selection of land either in person or by your representative. 



2d. Procure your water right from us. You must have one share, or acre, of water right for each acre of land. 



3d. At the time you secure your water right you will make, through us, your application to the State of Idaho for 

 the land. 



The price of the land Is 50 cents per acre. 



The price of perpetual water rights ranges from $15 to $25 per share according to quality and location of land. 



One share of water will irrigate one acre of land. The amount furnished each year is sufficient, if placed upon the 

 land at one time, to cover it 30 inches deep. The water is measured at the point where it is delivered to the purchaser, 

 thereby saving him all loss from seepage or evaporation. The average rainfall in Idaho is 13 inches each year.
