Survey has just issued Water 

 Supply Paper 273, a large vol- 

 ume descriptive of the water 

 supplies of Kansas, by H. N. 

 Parker, with an accompany- 

 ing preliminary report on stream 

 pollution by mine waters in 

 southeastern Kansas, by E. H. S. 

 Bailey. The work incident to 

 the preparation of the report was 

 done in co-operation with the 

 Kansas State Board of Health. 



The geology and underground 

 waters of Kansas are discussed 

 at some length, as well as the 

 surface waters of the various 

 rivers and creeks of the state. 

 The report also contains a dis- 

 cussion of the quality of the un- 

 der-ground waters of each of the 

 104 counties in the state, and in- 

 cludes a large number of chemical 

 analyses of water, both surface 

 and underground. The report 

 should be of no little interest and 

 value to the people of Kansas, 

 both individually and collectively. 

 A copy may be obtained free of 

 charge on application to the Di- 

 rector of the United States Geo- 

 logical Survey, Washington. D. C.

i Everybody knows there's money in Alfalfa if properly grown. 

 Alfalfa growers do not seem to realize the importance of saying 

 one crop each year for seed. Alfalfa seed is in great demand and 

 you can have a yield of from 2 to 6 bushels per acre per year 



Write for our Alfalfa Booklet FREE. It is written by Prof. 

 J. M. Westgate, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 



We had Prof. Westgate compile this booklet especially for those inter- 

 ested in growing Alfalfa for seed and hay. We ere interested in the 

 Alfalfa Seed Question because we are the only manufacturers 

 of a machine built especially for hulling and cleaning Alfal- 

 fa Seed. The Booklet how- 

 ever, deals with Alfalfa only and 

 contains nothing concerning our 

 machinery. Write for it today.

IRRIGATION 



IN 



Northeastern Colorado 



The farmers in this district are irrigating their lands by the pumping system, power for 

 running the pumps being supplied by electric companies who have their power lines 

 well distributed over the country. The cost is nominal. By this system the water 

 supply can be positively controlled and crops are assured. This district is served by the
