Interesting to Advertisers. 



It may interest advertisers to know that The Irrigation Age it the 

 only publication in the world having an actual paid in advance 

 circulation among individual irrigators and large irrigation corpo- 

 rations. It is read regularly by a 11 interested in this subject and MLS 

 readers in all parts of the world. The Irrigation Age is 28 years 

 old and is the pioneer publication of its class in the world. 



It is very gatifying to learn through 

 Importance our press clippings that the people 

 of of Texas are awakening to the im- 



Supplemental portance of supplemental irrigation ; 

 Irrigation. we will watch their efforts with 



considerable interest and advise the 

 readers of THE IRRIGATION AGE as to the success 

 of the undertaking. 



Ex-Governor H. J. Hagerman, who 

 Up-to-Date is following the policy of water con- 

 Methods servation and up-to-date methods of 

 of irrigation, has adopted the conduit 

 Irrigation. system on a large scale, on his farm 



east of Roswell, New Mexico. A 

 Los Angeles, California, concern has just completed 

 the laying of 19,000 feet of this conduit system on 

 the Hagerman ranch. Mr. Hagerman is quoted as 

 saying that he is now getting double the service 

 from- the same amount of water than was obtainable 

 under the old ditch system. The work of Gov- 

 ernor Hagerman will be watched with interest by 

 those who are studying the subject of the appli- 

 cation of water. 



John T. Bramhall, well known in 

 John T. newspaper circles in Chicago, has 



Bramhall recently purchased a half interest 



Purchases in "Alfalfa," a monthly paper pub- 



Paper, lished at Modesto, California, and 



will take editorial charge of the 

 publication. Mr. Bramhall has had wide experi- 

 ence as an agricultural writer and student and will 

 no doubt "make good" in this new venture. 



Anent the National Irrigation Con- 

 Irrigation gress discussed by Mr. Bohm, in 

 Age these columns, it may be well to say 

 Will that THE IRRIGATION AGE is heartily 

 Assist. in favor of the revival of that worthy 



institution and will use every effort 

 to assist in bringing about conditions so that the 

 Congress may be held in the year 1914. Those who 

 are familiar with the situation fully understand that 

 recent congresses have been top heavy with salaried 

 individuals who have not been competent to handle 

 the situation. A correction of this evil and an ef- 

 fort on the part of all of the members of the ex- 

 ecutive committee and other officials will no doubt 

 result in bringing the Congress back to life and will 

 make it stronger, if possible, than ever.
