Raising Fruit and Alfalfa 



in Pecos Palisades, 



Texas 



Rich irrigable fruit and alfalfa in lower Pecos 

 Valley, Texas, along the KANSAS CITY, MEX- 

 ICO & ORIENT RY., shortest line from Kansas 

 City to Pacific Ocean. Offers you greatest oppor- 

 tunity because land is now selling on easy terms 

 and at one-fifth the price of similar land in older 

 districts, and because it is just ahead of construc- 

 tion of the railroad, building daily and spending 

 large sums in this territory. 



IRRIGATION COMPLETED. 



The extensive Imperial Irrigation System, furnish- 

 ing abundant water to these Pecos Palisades lands, 

 now complete. Water now turned on. Farmers are 

 irrigating their land now and building homes. The 

 big Imperial Reservoir, covering nearly 2,000 acres, 

 holds six hundred million cubic feet of water, with 

 64 miles of canals. Behind farmer and landowner 

 is the invested MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in the 

 Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Ry. This is 

 the last great opportunity to secure the FINEST, 

 RICHEST LAND just before values advance. 



FRUITS AND ALFALFA. 



Facts about lower Pecos Valley are amazing. In 

 fruit, the land should produce up to $1,000 per acre. 

 Peaches pay $1,000 per acre, apple trees are worth 

 $40 apiece, celery and asparagus $500 per acre, 

 berries up to $500 per acre, cantaloupe $300 to $500 

 per acre, alfalfa up to $125 per acre.

economical in water distribution of any in the country, 

 owing to its underground cement pipe system of convey- 

 ing water to the ranches on Beaver Park. The Schaffer 

 reservoir, now called Lake McNeill, was started in Febru- 

 ary, 1909. 



IDAHO. 



The Lewiston-Clarkston Improvement Company of 

 Lewiston has made a contract for the purchase of 85,000' 

 feet of pipe to be used in rehabilitating the irrigation sys- 

 tem in Clarkston and Vineland. 



The work on the Snake River Irrigation Company's 

 project is progressing rapidly. The project will furnish 

 water to several thousand acres of fine land on Dead Ox 

 flat, which lies between Payette and Weiser. 



The promoters of the Dry Creek Irrigation project 

 have made the statement that the reclamation of 20,000 

 acres of desert land in Ada county will be undertaken as 

 a private enterprise. The system, as proposed, contem- 

 plates a storage reservoir at a point four miles above the 

 land to be irrigated, where there is a natural reservoir 

 site. Here a dam 150 feet high will also be built. The 

 water of Dry Creek will be used during the months of 

 June and July, at which time there is said to be sufficient 

 water for the entire tract under the project. 



The Pacific Land and Water Company of Salt Lake 

 City, Utah, has filed on the flood waters of Raft river, in 

 the southern part of Idaho, and will shortly commence 

 work on a project whereby 55,000 acres of land will be 

 brought under irrigation. A portion of the land to be re- 

 claimed belongs to the company, while the balance be- 

 longs to the farmers in this district. A dam of concrete, 

 rock and earth is to be constructed, which will have a 

 capacity of 80.COO acre feet.
