ANNOUNCEMENT 



As intimated in our editorial columns in December and January, the publisher of the IRRIGATION 

 AGE has purchased all the rights, copyright to the title, good will and advertising contracts of the National 

 Land and Irrigation Journal, published by the National Irrigation Journal Publishing Company of Chi- 

 cago. 



The IRRIGATION AGE has also taken over the entire subscription list of this journal and this new 

 list which is in our hands at present comprises something over five thousand names. 



The subscription list of the National Land and Irrigation Journal will be merged with that of the IRRI- 

 GATION AGE, and the subscribers to the Journal will receive copies of the IRRIGATION AGE in lieu 

 of the National Land and Irrigation Journal during the period for which their subscription has been paid. 



In taking over this property the publisher of the IRRIGATION AGE has also taken over the list of 

 The Irrigator, a journal formerly published at North Yakima, Washington, which was purchased by the 

 National Irrigation Journal Publishing Company and merged with that publication a year or more ago. 

 This merger, and the subsequent taking over of the property from the National Land and Irrigation Jour- 

 nal, places the IRRIGATION AGE in the unique position of being the only distinct irrigation and reclama- 

 tion journal in the known world. 



As may be easily understood, this has greatly strengthened our subscription list and we are in a posi- 

 tion today to offer advertisers much better service than at any time in the history of this publication. 



The editorial policy of the IRRIGATION AGE will not be affected in any way by this change, as the 

 undersigned is in full control and is sole owner of the AGE and its various interests. 



It may not be out of place to state here that the combination of the National Land and Irrigation Jour- 

 nal of Chicago and the Irrigator of North Yakima with the IRRIGATION AGE completes a list of eight 

 publications which have been purchased and taken over, and whose circulation has been merged with that 

 of the IRRIGATION AGE. 



The list comprises the following papers, all of which were well known in their day 

 The National Land and Irrigation Journal, The Drainage Journal, 



The Irrigator, Mid-West, 



Modern Irrigation, The Farm Herald. 



The Irrigation Era, 



Arid America, D. H. ANDERSON, Publisher.
