THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



ONE MILE A DAY 



As a Ditch -Maker and for Reclaiming Arid or Wet Land 



The Twentieth Century 

 Ditching Machine 



stands without an equal. It will make a mile of ditch 24 inches deep 

 in one day. Is easily operated by one man and can be used with two 

 or four horses as desired. Weighs less than half as much as the 

 heavy grader and does better work at one-half the expense. It will 

 pay every owner of land to learn all about this many purpose irriga- 

 tion machine. It will not only cut drainage ditches, but levels land, 

 cut laterals, sage brush, throws up dikes, etc. 



Write for booklet showing photo reproductions of machine in action, 

 and explaining great money and labor-saving features.

The Tepic Agricultural Company, composed of Ameri- 

 cans, is making arrangements to construct a system of irri- 

 gation to reclaim 50,000 acres of land lying near to the City 

 of Mexico. Under the terms of the concession granted the 

 company by the Mexican government, it is allowed to im- 

 port the machinery and material necessary for the works 

 free of duty. 



The Secretary of the Interior has authorized the Recla- 

 mation Service to lease all the available water on the Milk 

 River Irrigation project in Montana for the season of 1912. 

 Water is to be furnished at $1.00 per acre-foot, one-half of 

 which amount must be paid in advance. 



The building of a 1,000-foot siphon, 100 feet under the 

 Colorado river, from California to Yuma, has been accom- 

 plished. The opening of the siphon will open 100,000 acres 

 of the Yuma irrigation project. Water will be turned into 

 the canal late this month and a formal celebration will prob-. 

 ably be held on June 17. The building of this siphon is one 

 of the greatest and most dangerous pieces of engineering 

 work ever undertaken by the Reclamation Service. 



Sixty-three hundred acres of land under the Shoshone 

 Irrigation project in Wyoming were opened to Tiomestead 

 entry on April 22. The first unit of the project was sup- 

 plied with water four years ago and the land that was 

 opened on the 22nd constitutes the fourth unit of the project. 

 From time to time other units will be added until the entire 

 area of the project, 164,000 acres, will_ be brought under 

 irrigation. 



An immense irrigation project, by which it is expected 

 that no less than 250,000 acres will be reclaimed, is about 

 to be undertaken in Montana. This is the so-called Milk 

 River project, which will cost approximately $7,000,000. The 

 project involves the storage of water in the two St Marys 

 lakes in the nothwestern corner of the state, and the di- 

 version of the storage water from the St. Mary's drainage 

 basin which now discharges eventually into the Hudson 

 Bay into the Milk River drainage basin by a canal 29 miles 

 long.
