THE IKRIGATION AGE. 



1073 



It is reported from San Antonio, Texas, that another 

 big project is to be put through by the Medina Irriga- 

 tion Company, of which Dr. F. S. Pearson is the head, and 

 this is the diversion of the flood waters of the Guadalupe 

 River into the Medina River above the dam. 



Because of the extended years of drouth, farmers in 

 Central Wisconsin are installing irrigation plants. One 

 farmer near Neenah raised twice as much oats and barley 

 as he did years ago without irrigation. 



The Klickitat and Columbia River Land and Irrigation 

 Company, of Lyle, Washington, has recently been incor- 

 porated by Mr. George S. Canfield and his associates. It 

 is generally known about Lyle that Mr. Canfield and his 

 associates are the owners of some choice lands in that 

 vicinity and that now, through a company, they will pro- 

 ceed to develop their holdings. 



Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New York, one of the greatest 

 financial institutions of the United States, behind which 

 stands J. Pierpont Morgan and other 

 great financiers, has taken over the 

 Buhl interests in the irrigation of 

 60,000 acres of land located in the 

 southern part of Idaho. 



Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Pine 

 River Irrigation Company at Durango, Colorado. Incor- 

 porators are D. C. Coulson, L. P. Sasebee and W. E. Dug- 

 gan. The company is incorporated for $50,000. 



Several quite extensive irriga- 

 tion propositions are being estab- 

 lished in the central and western 

 South Dakota by private landowners. 

 One party at Bixby, on the Moreau 

 River, has purchased a pumping plant 

 and will irrigate several hundred 

 acres on a private scale entirely. 

 Near Fort Pierre a couple of plants 

 are in operation and a third one to 

 irrigate more than 1,000 acres will be 

 installed in a short time.
