THE IRRIGATION AGE.

A CANADIAN'S REPLY 



Editor of THE IKUICAIIIX At;E : 



This association has read with surprise your rather 

 feverish editorial appearing in the May issue of THE IRRI- 

 GATION AGE "Stop the Sale of the Irrigation Congress"- 

 and as a subscriber to this paper and an association work- 

 ing in the interests of irrigation in general, must point out 

 to you the following facts: 



1. That Canada has nothing whatever to do with the 

 changing of the name of the Irrigation Congress. 



2. That it was not until after the National Irrigation 

 Congress had become "International" that Canada extended 

 an invitation to the Congress to hold its meeting in this 

 country in conformity with its title. 



3. That there is no international boundary where 

 irrigation or agricultural interests are concerned on this 

 continent, and this fact was recognized by the Board of 

 Governors (which did not include a single Canadian) in 

 accepting the invitation of the Canadians to meet in 

 Calgary. 



4. There was no Congress of the International Irri- 

 gation body held in the United States last year for lack, 

 I understand, of necessary funds, and that therefore 

 Canada is deserving of eulogy rather than condemnation 

 for reviving the Irrigation Congress and so actively set- 

 ting it on its feet again. 



5. That the Irrigation Congress has not moved over 

 into Canada to stay, but to hold one of its annual meet- 

 ings, and that if energy, enterprise and enthusiasm in 

 the cause of irrigation has in recent years been lacking 

 in the United States, a very different status of affairs will 

 be found in Canada. 



6. That year after year representatives of this asso- 

 ciation have attended the Irrigation Congresses in the 

 United States, and that the action of the International 

 Congress in coming here is only following in the footsteps 

 of the Oregon Irrigation and other congresses, who, both 

 last year and this year, are sending delegations to this 

 country to take part in irrigation deliberations. 



7. That in conformity with the great peace centenary

No bolts or rivets used in construction. This flume is 

 considered by experts to be the most service- 

 able equipment for the purpose on the market. 

 A careful examination of the construction as 

 shown herewith will convince those who are 

 acquainted with irrigation conditions of its 

 lasting quality and the ease with which it may 

 be put together. Complete information, with

YOUR horses demand much, need 

 much and get much. For in- 

 stance costly stable, rigs and 

 sheds for them ; harnesses ; hay and oats, 

 and its storage space; time spent each 

 day in the year caring for them, feeding, 

 watering, currying, harnessing, frequent 

 blacksmith, harness, and vehicle repair 

 bills; occasional veterinary bills. 



All that an international Motor Truck asks for is a shed, and a small ration of gasoline and oil that's all. 

 And when it's not working it wants only the shed. For profit and economy buy an 



International Motor Truck 



You will find that it costs considerably less than horse and wagon keep, it goes four times as fast and as 

 far as the horse, saves you many hours of time, and will run twenty-four hours in a day if necessary. In reli- 

 ability, strength, and ease of management, it is best. 



Solid tires eliminate common tire troubles 

 The wheels are high enough to give ample 

 road clearance. The simple, sturdy motor 

 has plenty of power. Brakes are powerful. 

 A single lever controls the car. 



It will pay you to find out all that an 

 International Motor Truck will do for you.
