THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



AT THE HEADGATES 



Washington 



Work on the contract recently 

 awarded A. Guthrie & Co., Inc., by 

 the West Okanogan Valley Irrigation 

 district of Washington, to reclaim 10,- 

 000 acres by canal irrigation has al- 

 ready begun and it will be pushed to 

 completion before the end of this year. 

 The contract price for the completed 

 job is $511,600, paid out of the pro- 

 ceeds of a bond issue of $600,000, pur- 

 chased as a personal investment by 

 Charles Ffolliott of St. Paul, presi- 

 dent of A. Guthrie & Co. Before 

 financing this project for the West 

 Okanogan Valley Irrigation district, 

 Mr. Ffolliott insisted on the listing 

 for sale at a low figure of practically 

 all the land in the consolidated dis- 

 trict, which the owners would be un- 

 able personally to bring into cultiva- 

 tion. 



Even though a local improvement 

 district has not money to pay the an- 

 nual water charges, an irrigation 

 company must furnish water, accord- 

 ing to a recent decision against the 

 Pasco (Wash.), Reclamation company. 



Idaho 



The Utah Construction Company 

 will take over the construction work 

 on the Blaine county irrigation project 

 in Idaho, sold under the hammer to 

 James Ennes of Kansas, for $150,000, 

 providing the settlers will accept less 

 water per acre than the original con- 

 tract calls for. 



The Utah Construction company is 

 ready to spend $1,000,000 in further 

 developing the Big Lost River project, 

 which was bought at public auction, 

 providing the settlers will agree to a 

 two-acre foot contract. The Idaho ir- 

 rigation commission, which inspected 

 the project, reached the conclusion, it 

 it said, that the best settlers could 

 expect would be the two acre-feet and 

 its members are inclined to the belief 

 that two acre-feet under the present 

 conditions is all that the settlers can 

 expect. 



M. H. Woods of Kansas City, Mo., 

 has bid in the Blaine county (Idaho) 

 irrigation project for $150,000. With 

 other capitalists, he expects to spend 

 $100,000 in putting the.project in good 

 working shape. 



Colorado 



Two companies, one capitalized for 

 $250,000 and one for $200,000, have 

 been organized to take over the as- 

 sets of the Pueblo-Rocky Ford Irriga- 

 tion Company. Forty thousand acres 

 of land will be thrown open for set- 

 tlement. 



Utah 



F. B. Hammond of Moab, Utah, is 

 urging a government irrigation project 

 along the Green river, which would 



water 1,000,000 acres. It is claimed 

 the dam and headworks can be built 

 for $5,000,000 and would solve control 

 of the Colorado river floods. 



Oregon 



Three thousand acres will be irri- 

 gated around Keno, Ore., by an elec- 

 tric pumping plant. 



"Crop Insurance" 



is a term fittingly applied 

 to irrigation. Economy 

 urges the application of 

 such insurance with cen- 

 trifugal pumps driven by 

 oil engines o r electric 

 motors. 



We furnish the pump and 

 the machine to drive it.

 Tractors : Mogul Titan 



' I V HERE is work on your farm for a Mogul or 



* Titan oil tractor work that's too heavy for 



horses and for which horses are too expensive to use. 



Did you ever have power enough at plowing time 

 to plow the way you wanted to? Did you ever allow a needed 

 fallowing, disking, or harrowing to go undone just to save the 

 horses? 



There is no profit in that. Use the horses for the work they 

 are fitted for and give the killing work to a Mogul or Titan oil 

 tractor. 



Mogul and Titan tractors all use low grade oil fuel, the 

 cheapest luel in the world. They are all field tested and proved; 

 all easy to understand and handle. In size they range from 8-16 

 to 30-(JO-H. P., a range wide enough to meet the needs of 

 practically every farm. 



The oil tractor is here to stay, because it increases the net 

 profit from the farm. It costs you nothing to write us and 

 get facts and figures that will help you to determine just what 

 saving a Mogul or Titan oil tractor will make on your farm.
