county. Definite plans have not yet been worked out 

 but it has been virtually decided to take up the northern 

 project first. 



Reclamation of 168,000 acres of desert land along the 

 west bank of the Green river at a cost $6,000,000 is fore- 

 cast in an application to the state land board for the per- 

 manent segregation of the tract under the Carey Act. 

 The applicant, an irrigation company, will have to build 

 400 miles of canals to irrigate the land. The name of 

 the company has not yet been made public. 



WASHINGTON. 



F. C. Kelsey, chief engineer of the Kittitas reclama- 

 tion district in central Washington, states in a report 

 to the directors that the main line canal and branches 

 will cost $3,802,328, or an average of $41.80 an acre for 

 91,000 acres. The cost of storage in Naches lake is es- 

 timated at $8.50 an acre, which has been promised to the 

 district by the Secretary of the Interior. The directors 

 have added $500,000 to the total estimated cost to cover 

 laterals, rights-of-way and other expenses, bringing the 

 grand total to $5,000,000. The district was created last 

 September. It is thought that the canal will be completed 

 in about 18 months. 



George T. Crane of Spokane and his associates, in- 

 cluding Carl B. Crane and Alfred DeVeto, the last named 

 a resident of Boston, will install a pumping plant costing 

 $20,000 on a 350-acre commercial apple orchard near 

 Bridgeport, Wash., on the Columbia river. Two hundred 

 acres will be planted this spring. The .company is cap- 

 italized for $125,000. None of this land will be put on 

 the market but the entire acreage will be operated as 

 a commercial orchard by the projectors. 



Eighme & Eighme of Riverside will irrigate 1,000 

 acres of land near that town next summer. Water will 

 be taken from Blue lake, which cover 70 acres and is only

Any Drill Is Better 

 Than Broadcasting 



The Monitor Is Better 

 Than Any Other Drill 



XVHV? 



It is one-third lighter draft than any 

 other machine of equal size.' 



It will work where any drill will, and 

 often where no other drill can. 



It deposits all the seed at the bottom 



of a clean, wide furrow, in two rows, and 



covers with a uniform amount of earth. 



' It requires one-fifth less seed than other 



machine. 



It increases the yield of wheat from 

 three to seven bushels per acre, other 

 grains in proportion. 



The grain grades higher and brings a better price. 



The Monitor will, by increased yield, higher grade, saving of seed, pay for itself in one season on fifty acres. 



These statements are not just "claims," they are facts demonstrated, proved and conceded wherever small grain is grown. 

 There is a scientific principle involved, a logical reason why the Monitor does these things they are all 

 explained in our Drill Folder.
