THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



The Secretary of the Interior has 

 awarded contract to the Lidgerwood Manu- 

 facturing Company of New York for fur- 

 nishing three cableways for use in the 

 construction of Engle dam, Rio Grande 

 irrigation project, New Mexico. These 

 cableways each have a span of 1,420 feet. 

 They are to be operated electrically, each 

 cableway adapted to operate a 3-yard Type 

 B, Anderson-Evans grab bucket, or its 

 equivalent, representing an average load of 

 ten to eleven tons when filled with sand, 

 or an average load of concrete of eight 

 tons, operating with aerial dumping device. 

 The contract price is $44,160. 



Considerable areas of alfalfa under 

 the Yuma irrigation project, Arizona-Cali- 

 fornia, which have been allowed to go to 

 seed are now being harvested, and yield as 

 high as 800 pounds per acre have been 

 obtained. Last year the prices paid for 

 alfalfa seed ranged from 14 to 17 cents 

 and indications are therefore that this will 

 be a remarkably paying crop this season.

Baled Hay Pays Best 

 Whether Fed or Sold. 



STACKED hay exposed to the weather wastes the hay crop and decreases 

 its food value. Loose hay placed in the barn takes up too much 

 room and gathers dust. 



When you bale your hay there is no waste no dust and your entire 

 hay crop can be kept under cover. Baled hay retains its full nutritive value 

 and remains in excellent condition for feeding. It is easy to handle and 

 always ready for quick sale anywhere. 



I H C Hay Presses 



have many points of strength, simplicity, and convenience found in no other 

 presses. These presses are constructed almost entirely of steel, and are 

 strong and durable without being excessively heavy or clumsy. They are 

 equipped with a compound lever and toggle joint plunger, which gives them 

 their great compressing power. A 500 pound pull on the sweep of a 

 16 x 18 I H C press gives 76,800 pounds pressure in the bale chamber. 

 The bed reach is only about 4 inches high and 

 very narrow. The bale chamber is very low easy 

 to reach over to tie the bale. 



I H C hay presses are supplied to be operated 

 with either one or two horses, and the International 

 Motor baling press is furnished with a 3, 4, or 6- 

 horse power gasoline engine which can be detached 

 when the baling season is over, and used to operate 

 other farm machines. 



Call on the I H C local dealer for catalogue and 

 prices, or, if you prefer, write nearest branch house.
