THE IRRIGATION AGE.

after complying with the contract requirements, for the irriga- 

 tion of nearly 1,000 acres. Many applications have been 

 received from persons who have made improvements in good 

 faith on the assumption that they would be able to obtain 

 water upon application. A charge of $2.50 per acre per 

 annum will be made for water supplied on the rental basis. 

 The Secretary of the Interior has fixed the maximum 

 unit for the subdivision of excess private lands under the 

 Tieton irrigation project, at forty acres of irrigable land, 

 and has directed that the public lands be divided, as far as 

 practicable, into farm units containing not more than forty 

 nor less than twenty acres of irrigable land. Land owners 

 under the Tieton project will be permitted to retain eighty 

 acres of irrigable land. It is expected that early this summer 

 it will be possible to prepare for promulgation before the 

 irrigation of season of 1911, township plats showing the 

 irrigable lands, public and private, which can be placed under 

 irrigation under the provisions of the Reclamation Act during 

 the irrigation season of 1911. The soil of this section is 

 volcanic ash, underlaid with hard pan, and is considered ex- 

 ceedingly fertile. The climate is mild, with only occasional 

 extremes of heat and cold. The growing season is long and 

 practically rainless, and the principal products are hay, hops 

 and fruit. The general belief is that the Tieton lands will 

 be used largely for fruit raising, and old farmers in that 

 vicinity consider that ten acres of fruit lands are sufficient 

 for a family. The chief markets are the Puget Sound cities, 

 Spokane and the East. Hay is usually shipped to the Sound, 

 and the bulk of fruit and hops goes to the East.

SAMSON TURBINE 



When the PUMP cannot be direct connected to 

 the turbine shaft, the power is usually trans- 

 mitted by gears, shafting, etc. On account of 

 the HIGH SPEED of the SAMSON, for a given 

 power, lighter and consequently CHEAPER 

 transmission machinery can be used.

TheLittle Roadster Grader andDitcher 



A New, Light Ditch Plowing Machine, 



Especially Designed for Cutting Small 



Laterals on Irrigated Farms, and 



Ditching and Grading Roads. 



This type of machine cuts ditches for 

 less money than any other tool or ma- 

 chinery, because it plows the dirt out of 

 the ditch with one continuous motion, 

 whereas all other ditching machinery or 

 appliances must pick the dirt up and 

 lift it out of the ditch and then dump it. 



The Little Roadster is a practical 

 plowing machine, being built with ad- 

 justable leaning wheels or rolling land- 

 sides which counteract the side pressure 

 of the earth on the mold, the same 

 leaning wheel principle which is used in 

 the sulky plow. 



It is made almost entirely of wrought 

 steel and the few castings that are used 

 are malleable and all parts are put to- 

 gether so far as possible with hot driven 

 rivets, so that while it is a light machine 

 weighing about eleven hundred pounds, 

 it is exceptionally strong and rigid. It 

 is designed primarily for two horses, al- 

 though four may be used. 



EVERY IRRIGATED RANCH OR FARM NEEDS ONE OR MORE OF THESE MACHINES. IT WILL QUICKLY 

 PAY FOR ITSELF. SEND FOR DESCRDPTIVE FOLDER AND LET US TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT
