THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



Among other things embodied in the resolutions was 

 that the United Association should assure itself that the 

 sympathy and support of newspapers and press associa- 

 tions would be forthcoming before exhibiting in any city. 

 The resolutions state further: 



"Believing that the conference to be held in Chicago 

 April 18, 1910, will result in the organization of an asso- 

 ciation in line with these resolutions, we recommend that 

 the different states and territories send delegates to that 

 conference with the object of aiding to effect and partici- 

 pating in such an organization of national scope, and 

 instructed to vote as follows: 



"For plan number two, as adopted by the National 

 Farm Land Congress, November 20, 1909, at Chicago. 



To demand that the association shall secure then and 

 there a pledge of support from the Chicago Association 

 of Commerce, the newspapers and press associations. 



That the first exposition of the association be held -at 

 Chicago some time during the late months of 1910. 



We request the governor of each state to appoint a 

 delegate to attend the conference above mentioned. 



That we appreciate the courtesy of Governor Spry 

 of Utah in receiving the delegates to this convention, and 

 his expression of sympathy with the purposes of the organ- 

 ization. 



That the thanks of this convention be extended to 



Cimarron 



-In the Valley of 

 Content 



"Westward the course of empire wends its way," is 

 being reversed at Cimarron. The Arkansas Valley was 

 first settled at the western end and Cimarron is the ex- 

 treme eastern point. It is the newest of the new. Its 

 opportunities are still embryonic. Its future, however, is 

 assured. 



This year in the Arkansas Valley promises to be a 

 season of marvels. Even nature is behaving better than 

 usual in a country where she always behaves well. The 

 soil is exceptionally moist, the rainfall satisfactory, the 

 reservoirs already partly fillea in all parts of the valley. 



The many orchards of the Valley of Content never 

 gave better promise. The possible frost period is nearly 

 past, but this doesn't worry the Arkansas Valley farmer, 

 for he has, like his brother on the western slope, learned 

 to smudge. Seldom is he forced to use the smudge pot, 

 but he is ever ready to conquer Jack Frost when occasion 

 demands.

 The Primer of Irrigation 



The Eighteenth Irrigation Congress at Pueblo means 

 much to the entire valley and Cimarron will get its share 

 of the great publicity that will attend this gathering, and 

 Cimarron is ready to grasp that opportunity. The com- 

 mercial organization has joined the Arkansas Valley Com- 

 mercial Association, an organization created to boost the 

 entire valley, and incidentally its individual communities. 

 Cimarron is giving its undivided support to this move- 

 ment. 



Cimarron is also active in the Santa Fe Trail move- 

 ment the greatest good roads undertaking in the west. 

 The article by R. H. Faxon, Secretary of the Board of 

 Control of the Eighteenth Congress, published in the April 

 issue of the AGE, has defined the importance of this great 

 boulevard from Hutchinson, Kansas, to Pueblo, Colorado. 

 Cimarron will also receive its shape of the benefits to be 

 derived in the future from the Trail. 



When one sees the magnificent progress Cimarron has 

 already made without irrigation, and recognizes the won- 

 ders irrigation has performed farther west in this valley 

 and nearby country, Cimarron truly becomes a land of 

 promise. A previous article has dwelt on the great ditch 

 system building at present. Its unusual features have at- 

 tracted attention throughout the irrigation world.
