the live farmers in the Arkansas Val- 

 ley will irrigate their farms and the 

 sooner they begin it the sooner they 

 will find their farms yielding a hand- 

 some profit." 



Idaho 



Practically all of the irrigated laii'l 

 below Bellevue, Idaho, aggregating 

 something over 10,000 acres, is in- 

 cluded within an irrigation district 

 that has just been organized. 



The plan contemplates the con- 

 struction of the main central canal 

 with permanent headworks and di- 

 version dams. All of the water riylr.s 

 of the persons owning land within 

 the district will be carried through 

 the new system. 



\Yhile no detailed plans and speci- 

 fications have yet been prepared, en- 

 gineers who have examined the proj-

 an efficient ditch system can be put 

 in at an outlay of from $3.00 to *.vo'> 

 per acre.

 the world, on the Boise federal recla- 

 mation project in Idaho. 



California 



The first of the contracts for the 

 extension of the Oakdale (Cal.) irri- 

 gation system has been awarded by 

 the board. The contract amounted 

 to about $15,000. The main work of 

 extension, which includes canals and 

 laterals to cost yearly $800,000, will 

 be contracted for within a short time. 



Sutler county, Cal., is entering the 

 bean-growing field on a broad scale 

 this year. 



Thousands of acres will be culti- 

 vated. Irrigation ditches are being 

 extended around the bean fields and 

 every available plot of ground given 

 over to them. The majority of grow- 

 ers are increasing their acreage wher- 

 ever possible. 



Several large deals transferring 

 lands suitable for the growin 

 beans have been consummated. Per- 

 haps the largest single land lease is 

 to \V. \Y. Benchley and a number of 

 other capitalists of San Francisco, 

 who have taken a five-year lease on 

 the Spencer ranch in West Slitter, 

 near the Sacramento river. The
