THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



NEWELL HAS A BIG TIME 



(Continued from page 406.) 



to 15, was the annual meeting of the International 

 Congress of Farm Women an organization which 

 some day will be as formidable a factor in the life 

 of the average farm woman in her campaign for 

 better homes, as the votes for women organizations 

 are in the life of her metropolitan sister. 



"To one who has not followed the progress of 

 this dry farming movement since the first meet- 

 ings were held nine years ago, the eagerness with 

 which thousands of farmers from all over the world 

 reach out after its teachings is astonishing. Years 

 ago it outgrew the word "dry," so that now, al- 

 though moisture conservation is the keynote of in- 

 ception, it is more of a "better" farming congress. 



"Every phase of rural achievement from 

 raising short horns to an address by Mrs. Elbert 

 Hubbard on 'The Farm Beautiful,' was not only 

 discussed, but constructively outlined." 



Dr. E. Dana Durand, former director of the 

 census bureau, but now Professor of Economics at 



the University of Minnesota, warned the country 

 of the dangers of careless farming. 



"Because the population in this country tends 

 to overrun the food supply, it means an everlasting 

 hustling if we get food enough," said Mr. Durand. 



"We have had no reason to worry about the 

 population outstripping agricultural products until 

 within the last ten years, when conditions have 

 reached the danger signal point where we may be- 

 come an importing instead of an exporting nation. 

 We have got to be active and keep our wits or we 

 will be falling behind in the race. In 1912 the pro- 

 duction of cereals increased only 2 per cent, cattle 

 and hogs fell off, but the population increased 21 

 per cent. 



"The main thing for us to do is to restore the 

 balance between the food supply and the popula- 

 tion. We must induce more people to go onto the 

 farms by legislation or some other way. We may 

 have to force immigrants onto the farms by law. 

 We lead the world in mining, manufacturing and 

 other industries, but not in agriculture."

 age reservoirs, to be known as the 

 Cronberg and the Sand Creek, are 

 planned in the project. The project 

 has been under the advisement of the 

 state board of land commissioners 

 the past year. The system was event- 

 ually pronounced feasible after de- 

 tailed examinations by engineers and 

 the procuring of water rights. The 

 advancing and promoting of the proj- 

 ect now awaits the action of the gov- 

 ernment in the withdrawal of the 

 land. It may require from one to five 

 years before the segregation is event- 

 ually declared, it is said. The irriga- 

 tion company plans to supply water 

 for fully 30,000 acres of land, the 

 greater part of which is owned by 

 private concerns. 



Utah 



W. J. Elwood, superintendent of 

 the Independent Coal & Coke Co. of 

 Kenilworth, Utah, has solved the 

 problem of high water lifts for the 

 fertile bench lands of eastern Utah. 

 Through a pumping plant installed 

 under Mr. Elwood's supervision wa- 

 ter was lifted vertically for a distance 

 of 347 feet and by utilizing the waste 

 product of the Independent Coal & 

 Coke Co.'s mines at Kenilworth as 

 energy for the generation of the nec- 

 essary power, the cost is minimized 

 to such an extent that in comparison 

 with electricity it means one-third of 

 one cent per kilowatt hour. The out- 

 fit installed by Mr. Elwood is a steam 

 turbine with direct connection to a 

 centrifugal pump and capable of gen- 

 erating 250 horsepower. One hun- 

 dred horsepower raised 700 gallons 

 of water per minute into a reservoir 

 on top of the bench north of Price. 

 Several other reservoirs will impound 

 water for irrigation of 800 acres be- 

 longing to the Kenilworth-Price Land 

 & Water Co., of which Mr. Elwood is 

 president; Benton Randolph, treas- 

 urer, and B. R. McDonald, secretary. 



International Harvester Engines 

 Shoulder Your Hardest Work 



AN International Harvester Engine- 

 Mogul or Titan will save you 

 and your family endless hours of hard 

 labor in pumping, sawing, grinding, 

 spraying, running separator, etc. 



Buy an IHC engine. They last longer, burn 

 less fuel, are simpler, and give you most 

 power. Here are a few of the reasons: 

 Large valves, accurately fitted piston and rings, 

 heavy drop-forged crank shafts and connecting 

 rods, prompt repair service, fuel saving, etc. IHC 

 material and construction mean the best engine. 

 IHC engines are built in all styles, and in all sizes 

 from 1 to SO-H.P. They operate on low and high 

 grade fuels. 



Not every local dealer handles IHC engines. The 

 one who does is a man you can't afford to miss. If 

 you do not know who he is, we will tell you when 

 you write us for catalogues.
