THE IRRIGATION AGE.

$40,000 more will also be constructed. 

 This will bring the water of Owl 

 Creek reservoir to 30,000 acres not 

 now irrigated. 



New Mexico 



The Mimbres river valley near 

 Deming, New Mexico, is the latest 

 irrigation field, according to an an- 

 nouncement by the United States 

 geological survey. The survey has 

 found that the deposits of sand and 

 gravel underlying the region contain 

 vast quantities of water. This is 

 pumped to the surface by windmills. 



A carload of pumps for irrigation 

 pumping plants has reached Alamo- 

 gordo, X. M. The pumping proposi- 

 tion has taken hold to stay in that 

 district. 



J. J. Scott of Chicago, 111., is prepar- 

 ing to construct a pumping plant and 

 system of irrigation on the Pecos 

 river near Carlsbad, N. M. 



United States Senator Albert B. 

 Fall of Three Rivers, N. M., and asso- 

 ciates will construct two large systems 

 of irrigation for the purpose of re- 

 claiming about 22,000 acres of land. 

 The cost of the canal systems and 

 pumping plants will be about $135,000. 



Washington 



Engineers of the United States In- 

 dian Bureau on the Yakima (Wash.) 

 reservation have commenced the sur- 

 vey of proposed reservoir sites at the 

 head waters of Simcoe, Satus and Dry 

 creeks for the purpose of determining 

 the feasibility of impounding the flood 

 waters of these streams for irrigating 

 nearly 75,000 acres of land above the 

 Wapato irrigation project. 



Utah 



The Secretary of the Interior has 

 authorized the Reclamation Service to 

 construct the Maoleton unit of the 

 Strawberry Valley project, Utah, as 

 soon as the land owners have com- 

 plied with the conditions of the con- 

 tract prepared by the department. 

 The contract in part provides for the 

 pledging of 3,600 acres to return the 

 cost of the works. All owners of land 

 in excess of 160 acres must execute 

 appropriate trust deeds for the dis- 

 posal of such excess lands in tracts of 

 not more than 60 acres to any one 

 qualified water right applicant. The 

 Reclamation Service will build the 

 main canal and structures, including 

 turnouts from the point of diversion 

 upon the power canal for a distance 

 of six miles. 



Wyoming 



Preliminary to beginning the exten- 

 sion and enlargement of the Frannie 

 Canal on the Shoshone project, Wyo- 

 ming, a soil survey of the irrigable 

 lands will be made this month. In 

 view of the active operations of the 

 Burlington Railway people in clos- 

 ing the ap between the Big Horn 

 Basin in Wyoming and Denver, Colo., 

 the Frannie Unit lands are soon to 

 be made tributary to an important 

 trunk line railroad and will therefore 

 be desirable for homesteaders. If the 

 report of the soil experts is favor- 



GOOD ENOUGH 



Heavy Deep Furrow 



Sulky Plow 



-=='-- 



Save Moisture Increase Yield 



Plow deep form deep moisture reservoirs increase 

 the feeding area of the plant roots liberate more plant 

 food. Do these things and your crops will be greatly 

 increased. The Good Enough Heavy Deep Furrow Sulky 

 is the most efficient plow for deep plowing on the 

 market. 



The Good Enough Heavy Deep Furrow Sulky is a 

 tremendously strong and powerful plow. It will plow 

 any soil that is capable of being plowed and will turn a 

 furrow from 6 to 15 inches deep. 



The landing lever controls both the front furrow 

 wheel and the hitch. The dial hitch can be adjusted to 

 either side and up or down. The draft is applied directly 

 to the beam through the heavy draft rod. The rear 

 wheel is locked in place, but can be instantly released by 

 means of the foot trip at the ends of the rows. 



Regularly furnished with five-horse evener, rolling 

 coulter and extra shares.
