31.000 cubic yards yet to be laid. During the season of 

 1909 water was sold for 74,256 acres, the receipts being 

 $70,126.25. 



The Chamber of Commerce at Globe, Ariz., is inter- 

 esting itself in the San Carlos irrigation project. It is 

 proposed to assist in organizing a company for construc- 

 tion work. 



The Louisiana Irrigation & Milling Company at its 

 annual meeting recently ratified the action of its board of 

 directors in adopting a cash basis for water rentals to 

 be effective early next spring. It is believed that the 

 decrease in the canal acreage will not be more than 

 thirty-three per cent. 



Experiments are now being made along the White 

 Creek near Laoti, Kansas, to determine whether or not 

 water for irrigation purposes can be secured from deep 

 wells. Owing to the rigorous weather these experiments 

 have been temporarily abandoned but it is predicted that 

 they will be taken up again early in the spring. 



Work on the Yuma irrigation project, California- 

 Arizona, during the past month has been confined prin- 

 cipally to canal excavation. About 150 men with two 

 steam shovels were engaged on the reservation, and 50 

 men with 100 head of stock were engaged on scraper 

 work. About 18,500 cubic yards were moved with the 

 shovels. 



Land owners in the Pecos Valley were called to con- 

 ference at' Pecos, Texas, on January 26th to discuss 

 methods of organization and co-operation in the conserva- 

 tion, distribution and diversion of waters available for ir- 

 rigation. Many matters of importance to organized dis- 

 tricts were discussed. Reports told of various pumping 

 systems now in existence and indicated the plans of opera- 

 tion thereof.
