THE IRKIGATION AGE. 



One Irrigation a Year. 



By using the Campbell System of Scientific Farming you can 

 produce a bumper crop on one-half the water ordinarily used. It 

 is done by better tillage and a thorough conservation of the moist- 

 ure and plant food. Many irrigationists are developing their or- 

 chards and maturing their fruit on one irrigation a year, by em- 

 ploying the Campbell System storing the water in the soil. This 

 system prevents leaching, and keeps the soil fertile and sweet at 

 all times. You are not bothered with alkalinity. Your land is 

 never water-logged, thus depriving the plant of the necessary air 

 to insure a quick healthy growth. Plants do not grow while the 

 soil is water soaked. 



THE CAMPBELL SYSTEM is used the world over. It is 

 practiced in Spain, Hungary, Italy, India, Australia and North 

 and South America. Wherever intelligently used, by irrigator or 

 dry land farmer, it has doubled the yield. 



The Campbell Correspondence School 



is the result of thirty years experiment and demonstration by Prof. 

 Campbell and his associates. This course teaches when to plow, 

 how deep to turn the ground, all about cultivation, and the time 

 WHEN and HOW to do the work. 



THE COURSE consists of thirty subjects and sixty lessons, 

 covering Physiography, Soil Geology, Soil Physics, Structure of 

 Plants, Germination of Seed, Plants in Relation to Soil and Water, 

 Plowing, Packing, Harrowing, Summer Tilling, Seed and Root 

 Beds, Conservation of Moisture, Fertilizers and Bacteria, Wheat, 

 The Minor Cereals, Indian Corn, Alfalfa. Meadow Grasses, Fod- 

 der Crops, Potatoes, The Sugar Beet, Commercial Gardens, For- 

 estry, The Orchard. Small Fruits, IRRIGATION, DRAINAGE, 

 Seed Breeding, Evolution of Farm Machinery, Farm Econcmics, 

 Farm Engineering, Noxious Weeds and Insects, Birds and the 

 Farm, Diseases of Plants, Organization, Cotton, Rice, Flax, To- 

 bacco and Sugar Cane.

to be connected and it is fully expected that 25 per cent 

 of the area will be ready early in April for settlers to do 

 their planting. The project is on the main line of the 

 Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. Otto Weile 

 of Spokane is the consulting engineer. 



An irrigation district embracing 20,000 acres has been 

 created at Brewster. The project involves the expendi- 

 ture of $1,000,000. Preliminary work is to start imme- 

 diately. The water rights are easily acquired and the 

 ditch work is easy. There will be 40 miles of ditches. 

 The land has been tied up for a long time with private 

 promotion schemes, and several big deals were pending 

 for land if the outcome of the election was favorable. 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



At a meeting held at McCook, Neb., on March 1st, 

 initial steps were taken to form an irrigation district, 

 comprising the land in Red Willow county west and 

 north of the town of McCook, covering about 35,000 acres. 

 The project proposed includes a reservoir on the French- 

 man river at a point six or seven miles southeast of 

 Imperial in Chase county, capable of storing 40,000 acre 

 feet of water. From this reservoir the water will be 

 ditched into Red Willow county and distributed over the 

 proposed project. 



The Goodland Well Development Company, made 

 up of about 30 stockholders, has been formed at Good- 

 land, Kans., for the purpose of drilling wells to tap the 

 underflow and develop irrigation. The wells drilled will 

 be of unusual size and centrifugal pumps and oil burning 

 engines will be installed for the purpose of raising the 

 water to the surface. 



The cities of Hobart. Lone Wolf, Lugert, Roosevelt, 

 Mountain Park, Snyder, Tipton and Cold Springs, Okla., 

 and the farmers of the adjoining territory have united 

 in asking the government to revive the irrigation projects 

 started by the national reclamation service in 1903, 1904 

 and 1905.
