Another irrigation district is to be 

 formed near Cooperstown, Cal., in 

 eastern Stanislaus county, where 20,- 

 000 acres will be taken into the Dry 

 Creek district. The election will be 

 held June 15. The water will be tak- 

 en from Tuolumne river, three and a 

 half miles above La Grange. 



Colorado 



The Umcompahgre Valley Water 

 Users' Association of Colorado has 

 recommended that the government 

 pay $800 per foot for the Loutsen- 

 hizer ditch water. The Reclamation 

 Service has planned to include the 

 land along this ditch in the Gunnison 

 tunnel project. 



The Two Buttes Carey act project 

 in Colorado has applied to the secre- 

 tary of the interior for patent to 22,- 

 000 acres of land. The application 

 was made through the registrar of 

 the state land board, who states that 

 30,000 acre feet of water for the land 

 is now available in the company's 

 reservoirs and ditches. There is con- 

 siderable state land in the project, 

 which was built by Chicago capital. 



Government engineers have ap- 

 proved the water supply for three 

 big irrigation districts close to Den- 

 ver. The districts which include 

 263,000 acres of land, are known as 

 the Henrylyn irrigation district, the 



Farmers' Reservoir & Irrigation 

 Company and the Denver-Greeley 

 Valley irrigation district. The federal 

 report makes it possible for all who 

 have complied with the law to prove 

 up their land and water rights. 



The government says the three dis- 

 tricts have enough water to irrigate 

 every acre of land of the 263,000 acres 

 from the rights they now possess on 

 the Platte and Clear creek without re- 

 gard to water they expect to get from 

 the western slope streams through a 

 tunnel already started. 



The Pueblo & Northwestern Irri- 

 gation Company has been denied its 

 application to the state of Colorado 

 that request be made to the United 

 States government for a further with- 

 drawal of a 12,000 acre tract in Pueb- 

 lo county, which was to have been 

 developed under the Carev act. Pres- 

 ent financial inability to carry out a 

 contract and probably inadequacy^ of 

 the water supply are cited by the 

 state officials as cause for their de- 

 cision. 



The Reclamation Service is asking 

 for proposals for earthwork on thirty 

 miles of main canal, Grand Valley ir- 

 rigation project. Colorado, . involving 

 the excavation of approximately 1,900,- 

 000 cubic yards of materials. The bids 

 will be opened after 2 p. m., June 

 16, 1914, at the office of the Reclama- 

 tion Service, Grand Junction, Colo. 



Oklahoma 



Irrigation by pumping has received 

 great impetus in the district around 

 Enid, Okla., as the result of a report 

 by the United States geological sur- 

 vey, which shows an area of 100,000 

 acres, underlaid with a large water 

 supply. The water bearing gravel 

 is from 25 to 60 feet below the sur- 

 face. 



Montana 



Work on the Little Missouri Carey 

 act project in Montana will begin this 

 month. Preliminary capital of $250,- 

 000 has been raised and it is proposed 

 to furnish water to the first unit of 

 6,000 acres early next year. The main 

 dam will be located about ten miles 

 below Alzada on the Little Missouri, 

 the water of which will be diverted to 

 Cottonwood creek, where it will be 

 stored. The original project is de- 

 signed to irrigate a district on the 

 west side of the Little Missouri em- 

 bracing an area of about 30,000 acres, 

 but eventually it is expected that ap- 

 proximately 45,000 acres will be 

 brought under the water. The offi- 

 cers of the company are: President, 

 former Lieut. Governor W. R. Allen, 

 Anaconda; vice-president, E. J. An- 

 derson, White Surplur Springs, bank- 

 er; treasurer, A. T. Morgan, Butte; 

 secretary, T. T. Lyon, Butte. 



The Billings Heights Irrigation 

 Company filed articles of incorpora- 

 tion with the secretary of state, with 

 F. G. Bartholf, N. Algeo and R. L. 



HULL YOUR SEED QUICKLY, PERFECTLY and ECONOMICALLY With a 

 "MATCHLESS" CLOVER and ALFALFA HULLER 



That's just what you will do if you use a "Matchless" Huller on the job. It's the one huller that will hull all the Clover or Alfalfa you 

 can get to it without sacrificing the quality of the work. Here's the reason! We use square steel brads in our hulling cylinder. This construction 

 has every advantage over rasps of spikes, because no set of spikes will knock the seed out of the damp pods. Rasps gum up and are easily destroyed. 

 Our system of separation is unique and effective. This consists of a series of rotating troughs with perforation in the bottom, with provision for 

 adjustment to meet the various conditions of clover. The Patented Steel Scrapers attached to the bottom of these troughs thoroughly scrape the 

 separator bottom and insure a steady and positive delivery of the pods to the nulling cylinder, regaidless of the condition of the clover. This con- 

 struction enables you to hull seed under conditions in which no other huller can operate; enables you to hull earlier in the morning and later in the 

 evening than with any other this insures a longer day, thus increasing your earning power. Give us an opportunity to piove to you right 

 on your own farm that the "Matchless" is the speediest and cleanest huller on tae market. WRITE FOR. CATALOG TODAY, or call at our nearest
