T H E IRRIGATION AGE. 



The Modern Wagon 



BUILT OF STEEL 



The only equipment that will stand the climate of the 

 irrigated district, is made of steel. You know the reason. 

 Wood dries out, becomes useless, and the machinery 

 falls apart. 



DavenpOlt Roller - Bearing 



Steel Wagons 



are THE wagons for the "Dry Farming" country. Not 

 affected by the climate. Stronger, lighter draft and more 

 durable; outlast several wooden wagons. 



Built of steel I-beams, Channels and Angles, solidly 

 riveted with large steel rivets, put in hot, making the gear 

 parts practically one piece. 



Nothing to Dry Out 



No bolts to become loose and nuts to rattle off on 

 account of parts shrinkingor drying out. The DAVEN- 

 PORT is constructed like the modern steel railroad 

 bridge. Trussed and braced to withstand all strains. Built 

 for the heaviest lifetime service. 



No Tires to Reset 



It makes no difference what the climate is, it does not 

 affect the wheels on the DAVENPORT. They are made 

 with a tension, each spoke carrying its share of the load 

 all the time, whether it is on the top, bottom or side of the 

 wheel. The spoke heads are countersunk in the tire; 

 headed and shouldered in the hubs. The strongest wheels 

 ever put on a wagon. No split felloes or cracked hubs. 

 No repair bills to pay. 



Roller Bearings 



The Roller Bearing 



30% to 50% Lighter Draft 



Iti a fact, that if it were not for the ROLLER BEARINGS, 

 the automobile of today would be impossible. You know that 

 ROLLER BEARINGS reduce the draft on machinery ol all kinds.

private irrigation projects in the southwest. This company, 

 which is capitalized at $6,000,000, proposes to build a 

 dam across the deep Box canyon of the Gila river, twenty- 

 four miles east of the Arizona line in Grant county, stor- 

 ing sufficient water for the irrigation of 50,000 acres. 



At a meeting of the board of directors of the Elephant 

 Butte Water Users Association at Las Cruces a plan was 

 tentatively outlined for the inauguration of a policy where- 

 by the Water Users Association may co-operate with the 

 reclamation service in the work of utilizing the power of 

 the Rio Grande project. It is believed that a plan can 

 be perfected that will meet the approval of the secretary 

 of the interior. 



Workmen are busy strengthening the dam at the M 

 B. Goldenberg irrigated farm, two miles north of Tucumcari. 

 This has been made necessary on account of the large 

 body of water which has accumulated there. At present 

 Mr. Goldenberg is irrigating about eighty acres, but as 

 soon as the present dam is completed, a new one to hold 

 water for about three hundred acres will be started. 



The announcement of the reorganization of the South- 

 western Irrigation Land & Power Company is of great 

 interest to Albuquerque and vicinity. This company con- 

 trols one of the largest and most important irrigation and, 

 farming properties in New Mexico. 



An Irrigation Club has been organized at Willard, 

 the object of the organization being to purchase engines 

 and pumps in carload lots, thus getting bedrock prices 

 both on material and freight.

Plans are being made for the establishment of a new 

 irrigation district to be located near Pueblo and a petition 

 to organize the Pueblo County Municipal Irrigation dis-
