THE IEEIGATION AGE. 



(Continued from Page 795.) 



A million-dollar irrigation dam is to be built near 

 Fallen, Nevada. A million of acres are to be reclaimed in 

 the state of Nevada under the Carey Act by utilizing arte- 

 sian wells. 



One and a half million pounds sterling has been set 

 aside by the New South Wales Parliament for irrigation. 

 Included under this head is the construction of the Barren 

 Jack Dam and 1,000 miles of canals. Experienced irriga- 

 tionists are wanted in connection with this scheme. 



E. H. Perry is putting down a well on his farm, four 

 miles outside of Plainview, Texas, on which he will make 

 a thorough test of the Wiggins system of sub-irrigation. 

 He is digging ditches preparatory to installing the tiling. 



Commission has been granted to a big company, 

 headed by A. Allen of Denver by the County Commis- 

 sioners of Elko County, Nevada, to construct a large irri- 

 gation project to be known as the Fort Halleck Irrigation 

 district. A reservoir will be constructed which will sup- 

 ply in all about 13,000 acres of land. 



The Federal Government of Mexico has taken another 

 step toward utilizing the water of the rivers and smaller 

 streams of the country for reclaiming arid lands by irriga- 

 tion. About two years ago a law was enacted for the 

 payment of liberal subsidies for all land reclaimed by irri- 

 gation, an appropriation of $20,000,000 being made for the 

 new service. 



As a result of the purchase of 712,000 acres of land in 

 the upper peninsula of Michigan by H. H. Hamilton of 

 St. Paul for the Western Securities Company of that city 

 from W. H. Mather, employment will be given to 5,000 

 men in that district this year. It is the intention of the 

 company to spend $5.000,000 on drainage and other im- 

 provements. 



J. W. Dickson and H. Carr, the latter of Lee County, 

 Texas, have just returned from Plainview where they care- 

 fully examined the great well which furnishes more than 

 2,000,000 gallons of fine water daily. These gentlemen 

 think that the problem of irrigation is solved in that sec- 

 tion and that tremendous development will follow. 



A recent dispatch from Brownsville. Texas, says: "It 

 was learned today that Amos W. Gardiner, of Houston, is 

 negotiating for the purchase of a controlling interest in

THE EASIEST WAY TO INSURE THE 

 EFHCIENaOE TOUR IRRIGATION 



F I A 



HE efficiency of your irrigation 

 system depends on the efficiency 

 of the engine that operates it. 



You may not need to use it for months, but when you do need it, your 



need is urgent. It means actual financial loss then if it doesn't work. 



Bear this in mind when you select your engine. Pick out one that is a 



known quantity not an experiment. 



I H C Gasoline Engines are always a safe selection. Their efficiency 



has been proved. They have years of success behind them. There 



are thousands in use. 



I H C Gasoline Engines 



are made in all styles and sizes 1 to45-K. P. vertical or horizontal 

 stationary, portable, or traction. This makes it easy for you to get just 

 the right type and size for your individual use. 



Besides supplying power for your irrigating system, an I H C engine 

 can be used for operating the feed grinder, fanning mill, thresher, 

 separator, churn, washing machine, cider press, 

 alfalfa cutter, etc. 



If you will call on the I H C local dealer, he'll 

 be glad to show you points of I H C 

 superiority you ought to know about. 

 Ask him for the 1 H C Gasoline En- 

 , gine catalogue, or, write the 



nearest branch house.
