first unit of this project, about 4,000 

 acres, under water by the last of June 

 this year Already approximately $90,- 

 000 have been spent on the project 

 and it will take another $75,000, to 

 complete the first unit. This is all 

 eastern money which Mr.- Chase has 

 interested in this project. 



Eventually there will be some 13,- 

 000 acres under water. The land lies 

 on the west side of the Okanogan 

 river about midway between Oroville 

 and Riverside.

Rocky Reef Ditch company is the 

 name of a new corporation just 

 formed in Cascade county to engage 

 in the irrigation business. It states 

 that water for this proposed system is 

 to be taken from a point on the left 

 bank of Sun river. 



The land under irrigation water on 

 the Flathead reservation will be doub- 

 led this year, if the plans of the gov- 

 ernment are carried out. There are 

 40,000 acres of land under irrigation 

 now, and that will be increased to 75,- 

 000 or 80,000 acres by the end of this 

 season, according to all expectations.

 bracing Phelps, Gasper and Kearney 

 counties, is explained in a letter from 

 Senator G. W. Nprris to Secretary

 is too busy to give it consideration, 



Here's Something New 



about California 



For You 



Two parties of Eastern farmers saw Cal- 

 ifornia under my personal escort last fall. 



It was not a land-selling trip it was 

 solely for investigation. 



We were guests of over forty local com- 

 munities. Their Chambers of Commerce 

 and Boards of Trade provided the auto- 

 mobiles and guides who showed us the agri- 

 cultural activities in their neighborhoods. 



We saw irrigated fruit farms. We saw 

 alfalfa making large yields under irrigation. 

 We saw diversified farming with its sure 

 returns paying still better because of irri- 

 gation.

taken on thistripis now ready forfreedistri- 

 bution. We would like to send you a copy. 



You can prolong your active business 

 life at least fifteen years in California. 

 It is a country where you can farm 

 twelve months in the year. You need 

 not spend a large share of your earn- 

 ings just to keep warm. 



Write me today. Let me help you plan your 

 trip. Reduced fares next Spring and Summer will 

 give you a chance to see the San Diego Exposition 

 and agricultural sections of California at small cost. 

 Winter tourist fares now in effect. Ask all the 

 questions you want and say "Send Fanners'

MOGUL 8-16 



A REAL KEROSENE TRACTOR 



Mogul 8-16 now sells for 

 $725 cash f. o. b. Chicago 



When you buy a tractor, look beyond the price. It is not the price a man 

 pays for a tractor which is of the most importance, but what its power costs. 

 A Mogul 8-16, burning kerosene, in five thousand hours of work will more 

 than save its original price over the cost of the same power produced by a 

 gasoline tractor. Remember the Mogul 8-16 is a real kerosene tractor, planned and 

 built originally for using this cheap, plentiful fuel. Price is of minor impor- 

 tance compared with the wonderful saving which a Mogul 8-16 will make. 



There is no change in the original policy to sell the Mogul 8-16 at the lowest 

 possible price, always maintaining Mogul quality, even though nowadays 

 some of the materials are almost unobtainable, even at an advance in price 

 of from 50 to 100 per cent over prices of a few months ago. $725 cash, f. o. b. 

 Chicago, is the lowest price at which Mogul 8-16 can now be sold. 



Orders placed at once will stand the best chance of being filled in time for 

 spring work. SEE THE MOGUL 8-16 DEALER, OR WRITE US.
