good investment. The water from the reservoir was dis- 

 trbuted to the different plats with no waste through 6-inch 

 distributing pipes, and it has been shown that the economy in 

 water amply justifies the expense of piping. 



The results of the experiments made during tne season 

 of 1909 show fully the great advantage of having a water sup- 

 ply for the irrigation of as large a part as possible of each 

 dry farm, and that the use of storm and flood waters during 

 the fall and winter for the irrigation of lands for which water 

 is not available during the crop-growing season gives valuable 

 results.

and bounds. There is a big demand for irrigable land. The 

 government, although spending about twenty million for irri- 

 gation now, cannot keep pace with the popular demand for 

 irrigated land. Private capitalists are adding $100,000,000 to 

 the reclamation fund. Ex-President Roosevelt, in a speech at 

 Denver, August 29th, advocates the use of private capital in 

 developing irrigation projects, as "the essential thing is to 

 make homes on the land." 



Irrigable lands cover a limited area. The yield seems un- 

 limited. Pecos Palisades is a new irrigable district opening 

 ahead of a railroad. The railroad is not there, but the irriga- 

 tion system is, leaving a loop hole for profitable investment. 

 Catch the idea ? Count yourself fortunate for having requested 

 my irrigation money-making series of pamphlets. It opens a 

 new field to you. Your best investment opportunity is here 

 presented. Tell your friends about this project. Industrious 

 men and women are needed in the Palisades district to help 

 build it up. Your opportunity is to get there ahead of the 

 railroad.
