a large reservoir site at a point where Dry creek flows 

 into Goose lake. The company expects to be able to 

 water 5,000 acres of land within the next year. A large 

 dam will be built across the mouth of the stream, where 

 it leaves the hills to enter the valley. 



An irrigation project embracing 100,000 acres of land 

 near Crescent will be commenced early in 1911. All the 

 necessary surveying has been completed. Water will be 

 taken from Crescent and Fish lakes. It is rumored that 

 the project is fathered by the Hunter Land Company of 

 Portland, who own about half of the land affected. 



UTAH. 



The Wastach Irrigation Company of Heber has filed 

 amended incorporation articles with the secretary of state 

 providing that the company's indebtedness may be in- 

 creased from 10 per cent to 50 per cent of the par value of 

 the capitalization, or 2.12X) shares. 



F. H. Lott of Denver has asked for the temporary 

 withdrawal of 30,000 acres of land lying within the Vernal 

 and Salt Lake land districts, which he is desirous of devel- 

 oping under the Carey Act. The temporary withdrawal will 

 protect it from other interests for one year. The land has 

 been surveyed and the surveys are now in the department 

 at Washington. The estimated cost of the project is 

 about $1,000,000. Some work has already been done upon 

 the irrigation scheme and it is the intention of the pro- 

 moters to have the whole tract ready for settlement dur- 

 ing the summer of 1911. 



The Carey Act project of the Spanish Valley Water 

 and Land Company, with offices at Chicago and Salt Lake 

 City, has been approved by the State Land Board. The 

 project takes in about 8,000 acres of land in Grand and 

 San Juan counties. Water will be taken from Mill and 

 Brumley creeks, tributaries to the Grand River. The 

 cost of the project is estimated at about $710,400. The 

 land embraced in this project lies in Spanish Valley, about 

 4,500 feet above sea level.

DEERE ALFALFA CULTIVATOR 



A new machine especially designed for renewing the stand by cultivation and reseeding 



Alfalfa growers know that cultivation is d ^sirable. They 

 also know that until recently the only available tool for this 

 work has been the disc harrow. Not being designed for this 

 work, the disc harrow, of course, failed to give ideal results. 

 It did show, however, that a machine that would do the 

 work would be in great demand. 



THE DEERE ALFALFA CULTIVATOR is a new ma- 

 chine, "built in the Alfalfa fields," where actual conditions 

 were met and every requirement satisfied. 

 WHAT THE DESIRABLE FEATURES ARE 



Thorough cultivation is desirable. Our independent shovel 

 begins, controlled by spring pressure, keep each shovel at 

 woJk all the time without regard to surface inequalities. 



Damage to plants must be guarded against. Our new shov- 

 els have an original shape and contour that was worked out 

 after many experiments. They are rounded and curved in such 

 i a way as to avoid, as far as possible, all cutting or tearing of 

 the plants. They either dodge around a root or split it cleanly. 



Cost of maintenance is important. The only wear occurs 

 on the shovels. These are few and easily dressed. This 

 does not have to be done at all for a long time, as they are 

 double-pointed and made of especial tough stock. 



Lightness of draft is a strong point in favor of this new 

 machine. Actual tests show greatly in favor of this over 

 any other type. 



EASE OF TRANSPORTATIONS an advantage. By merely raising the lever, which has a balancing spring lift, 

 the DEERE ALFALFA CULTIVATOR is ready for moving whsrjver desired. 



SEEDER ATTACHMENT 



While cultivating the ground, why not reseed ? It takes no more time and thin spots can be built up to produce a full crop. 'In case the entire 

 stand is thin, it may be strengthened by light cultivation and at the same time putting in a small amount of seed. 



"ALFALFA, Its Seeding, Culture and Curing," is the title of a new book we are distributing free to all who will write us. It is from the pen of one 

 of the leading authorities on this important subject, The information is intensely practical and valuable. Ask for No. "A-l" so we will be sure to
