At the annual meeting of the Win- 

 nett Irrigation Company at Lewis- 

 town. Mont., recently, it was decided 

 to go ahead and complete the project, 

 so that the system will be available 

 for irrigating next season. This will 

 require an outlay of $25,000. J. H. 

 Akins was reelected president, with 

 G. J. \Yiedeman treasurer and E. 11.

THIS book shows how to raise 

 bigger and better crops with 

 less effort and with less ex- 

 pense, how to improve live-stock, how 

 to increase the product of orchards. 

 It teaches how to conserve resources 

 and reclaim lands, and how to treat 

 and cure live-stock diseases. 



Everything of value known to the 

 Government expert and taught by the 

 Agricultural School is to be found in a 

 nutshell within the pages of this book. 

 It is complete, compact and practical, 

 and its greatest value is to show the 

 results of actual experience. It sum- 

 marizes just those things that the 

 farmer, fruit-grower and stock-raiser 

 wants to know. 



On Farm Crops, Horticulture, Soil, 

 Farm Animals and Farm Economics, 

 this work contains the latest and most 

 accurate knowledge obtained by the 

 United States Department of Agri- 

 culture and by the leading Agricul- 

 tural Schools.

D. W. Cole, engineer in charge of 

 the Truckee-Carson project and a 

 corps of engineers are completing the 

 preliminary investigation of the feas- 

 ibility of putting in a dam at Mudd 

 lake and Long valley dam sites in 

 Nevada. 



Dean J. G. Scrugham of the state 

 university of Nevada, has arranged 

 for the installation of a pumping plant 

 at the state industrial home at Elks. 

 Xe\. The water will be used to ir- 

 rigate the lands to put under cultiva- 

 tion, and as the surface water has 

 been practically all taken up in this 

 county, the experiments are being 

 watched with much interest. Dean 

 Scrugham declares that Nevada pos- 

 sesses nearly 18,000,000 acres of ara- 

 ble land, with a surface water supply 

 capable of irrigating about 1,000,000 

 acres under the present system of dis- 

 tributing and handling.

Options have recently been ob- 

 tained by T. S. Overpeck, of the firm 

 of Cade & Overpeck Land & Abstract 

 Company, acting as agent for the 

 Redwater Irrigation Association on 

 several hundred acres of land in the 

 vicinity of Chicken creek, fifteen 

 miles southwest of Belle Fourche, S. 

 D. The plan of the association is to 

 establish a large reservoir with a 

 capacity of 8,400 acre-feet, on a 

 flat in that part of the country, and 

 to this reservoir the surplus water 

 from Spearfish creek will be conveyed 

 through a canal during the winter 

 months, when the water from this 

 stream is not used by the irrigators 

 along the Spearfish valley. This wa- 

 ter will be held in the reservoir until 

 the irrigating season is on, when it 

 will be turned into Chicken creek, 

 passing down this stream to the Red- 

 water and thus be conveyed to the 

 ditches of the association and other 

 ranchers who take water from Red- 

 water.
