THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



James Ogden and Chandler, Bryant 

 and Clark of Los Angeles. 



"\Ye will employ between 30 an'd 

 40 men and will plow and ditch and 

 put into alfalfa the entire 4,000 

 acres," said Mr. Ogden recently. "We 

 are principally in the cattle business 

 and will use our product for feeding- 

 stock. The Lost Hills district looks 

 good to me and outside of a few 

 little spots here and there, most of 

 the country is suitable for agricul- 

 tural purposes." 



G. W. Pierce will sink a series of 

 irrigation wells on his ranch property 

 three miles west of Davis, Cal. Pierce 

 has 2,000 acres of excellent land in 

 the Putah district, and the wells will 

 form a portion of an extensive irriga- 

 tion system. 



Land owners on the west side of 

 Fall river, in the vicinity of Glenburn 

 and Fall River Mills, Cal., propose 

 to irrigate several thousand acres 

 with water pumped electrically from 

 Fall river. The lift is a small one, 

 the supply of water is never failing, 

 and the power is available, now that 

 a new power company has completed 

 its installation and strung wires 

 through the valley. 



A plan is on foot to irrigate a large 

 tract that is protected by levees 

 around the shore of Tulare lake in 

 California, the first to be irrigated 

 being a tract of 960 acres belonging 

 to E. E. Bush and J. F. Pryor, in the 

 Buena Vista reclamation district. A 

 15-inch pump will be installed to lift 

 the water from the lake over the 

 levee to the land adjoining. When 

 the tract is all irrigated it will be 

 planted to wheat, the prospects being 

 that wheat will be a paying crop next 

 season, even with the added cost of 

 irrigation. 



A plan for the formation of the 

 most extensive irrigation district that 

 has ever been proposed in Los An- 

 geles county has been submitted to 

 the board of supervisors of that 

 county by land owners of San Fer- 

 nando valley. The district, if estab- 

 lished, will take in virtually the entire 

 valley and the estimated cost of the 

 work is more than $2,500,000. 



More than 75 persons representing 

 vast property interests in the valley 

 have signed the petition. 



The proposition is to build a large 

 system of conduits and pipes to con- 

 nect with the Los Angeles city sys- 

 tem and take Owens river water to 

 the valley. 



O. M. Enslow has filed on 37,500 

 miners' inches of water in the Feather 

 river in California to irrigate lands 

 on the east side of the river west of 

 Palmero and Honcut. It is proposed 

 to divert the water at a point near 

 Hazelbush, and to carry it in a gen- 

 eral southerly and easterly direction 

 through Butte and into Yuba county.

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
