Forty thousand acres of land in Prickly Pear valley 

 in Montana will be reclaimed by pumping water from 

 Hauser lake. This project is being financed by Eastern 

 capitalists. M. H. Geary, Jr., of the Missouri River Power 

 Company of Helena, Mont., is in charge of the Western 

 office of the company. 



The first unit of the government's irrigation project 

 which is being built in Sun River valley, Mont., known 

 as the Fort Shaw unit, is completed. 



Construction work on two large reservoirs which 

 the Western Land and Irrigation Company of McGill, 

 Nev., proposes to build in connection with its irrigation 

 project in Steptoe valley, is being rapidly completed. The 

 reservoirs are located about thirty-five miles from Ely, 

 Nev. 



At a special meeting of the Industrial Club, held 

 in Garden City, Kan., recently, the plan for a central pow- 

 er house and a pumping irrigation proposition involving 

 10,000 acres at an average cost per acre of $30 was 

 strongly indorsed. The land in question lies directly 

 north of the town of Garden City in what is known as 

 the shallow water empire. 



H. D. Bosse of Ellinwood, Kan., will install a sub- 

 irrigation plant in his orchard near that town. He has 

 already purchased and installed six miles of tile, which is 

 perforated and lets the water seep through small holes, 

 letting the water reach the roots of the trees and not be- 

 ing subject to evaporation.
