reports some very successful irriga- 

 tion from deep wells. In Haskell 

 county the underflow is at a depth of 

 nearly 200 feet. Stump uses a three- 

 inch pump with an oil fuel engine. It 

 will raise 3,000 gallons of water nearly 

 200 feet with one gallon of oil. He 

 uses cement tile and sub-irrigates. 



Eight candidates are in the field for 

 members of the Kansas state irriga- 

 tion board. This board was created 

 by the Democratic legislature last 

 year and was given $100,000 to con- 

 duct some irrigation experiments in 

 western Kansas. It is composed of 

 three members.

 ect near Redding, Cal., by which 47,- 

 000 acres sre to be reclaimed. An elec- 

 tion on the formation of an irrigation 

 district will be held July 14. It is 

 estimated that water can be obtained 

 at $12 an acre. 



Two new irrigation companies are 

 placing water on 20,000 acres of land 

 in Shasta valley near Montague, Sis- 

 kiyou county, Cal., for the first time 

 this season. Plans are being made to 

 establish a new town below Monta- 

 gue to be known as Granada.

 be irrigated with water from the great 

 Los Angeles, Cal., aqueduct. 



Texas

 Texas for permission to use water 

 from the San Antonio river for irriga- 

 tion has been made by the owners of 

 the Espada ditch, which has been in

 of the legislature all diversions of pub- 

 lic streams or impounding of water of 

 any sort has to be given sanction by 

 the state and has to be passed on by 

 the state hoard of water engineers.
