The irrigation project known as the Schell project in 

 St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, which has been in course of 

 construction for some time, is nearing completion. Five 

 thousajid acres of land will be irrigated this season. The 

 main canal to the project is 350 feet wide and 30 miles 

 long. The water is taken from the Bayou Courtoblau, an 

 arm of the Mississippi. 



Milo B. Williams, an expert irrigation engineer has 

 investigated the lands along the Congaree river in the 

 lower section of Richland county, South Carolina, to de- 

 termine whether or not it would be feasible to try the ex- 

 periment of irrigation in this county. If it is successful, 

 it is probable that the plan will be tried in several other 

 sections of the state. 



An irrigation project comprising 50,000 acres of valley 

 land has been started in Mexico. It is the intention of 

 the present owner, L. Villareal Madero, to cut up the land 

 into small ranches to be used by truck farmers. The 

 Mexican government has taken a great interest in irriga 

 tion of its land and will help finance the project. It will 

 take five years to complete the work. 



The interior department has refused to extend the 

 government Okahogan irrigation project into the Col- 

 yille reservation. The plan has been to get Indians hold- 

 ing allotments on the river lands within the reservation 

 to give up their allotment and take seventy acres of the 

 hill lands in exchange. The Indians sent a strong pro- 

 test to the office of Indian Affairs in Washington, with 

 the result that the Interior Department acted as above 

 stated. 



The State Charter Board of Kansas has granted a 

 charter to a new irrigation company to be known as the 

 Irrigation & Land Improvement Company of Dodge 

 City, Kas. It is capitalized at $50,000 and the purpose of 

 this company is to irrigate a section of the Arkansas val- 

 ley in the vicinity of Dodge City. It is authorized to con- 

 struct dams, canals and dig ditches. The incorporators of 

 the company are A. B. Reeves, P. I. Tribelock, H. O. 

 McCarter, E. T. Dancy and John Madden, all of Dodge 

 City.
