 irrigating land which he owns and 

 which is situated within the village 

 and also within the irrigation district. 

 He insisted on getting water from a 

 certain lateral. The village can re- 

 quire him to take it from another lat-

 tion without cost to the water user. 



Fergus county boasts of the latest 

 irrigation project to be completed in 

 Montana the Winnett that reclaims 

 a fertile expanse of land in the east- 

 ern part of the state. Water will be 

 delivered by the Winnett project to 

 11,000 acres next season. Eventually 

 from 18,000 to 20,000 will be reclaimed. 

 The work on this project was begun in 

 the fall of 1911. Fifty-five miles of 

 ditches have been built and reser- 

 voirs constructed at a cost of $150,000. 

 The water is stored in War Horse 

 Butte lake reservoir, with a capacity 

 of 27,000 acre-feet. The company was 

 organized by Walter J. Winnett o 

 Winnett, and Fred W. Akins, for- 

 merly a Government reclamation en- 

 gineer. 



North Dakota is soon to have an- 

 other irrigation project of relatively 

 small present importance, but of greai' 

 future promise. E. C. Caudle, man- 

 ager of the Alfalfa ranch, has advised 

 State Engineer Bliss that he contem- 

 plates irrigating about 90 acres of land 

 a short distance north of Marmarth, 

 on the Little Missouri. It is Mr. 

 Caudle's intention to plant the irri- 

 gated land to alfalfa.

The Final Answer 



To the Tractor Fuel Question 



Every farmer knows that the best paying, 

 most economical tractors are those that operate 

 successfully on kerosene. 



But every farmer can't tell a real kerosene 

 tractor from an imitation before he buys it. 

 It takes an expert to do tl.-.t. 



Neither does he want to take someone's 

 word for so important a feature. That is not 

 good business. 



We believe that a farmer who buys a ma- 

 chine costing hundreds of dollars is entitled to 

 get what he pays for. He should be fully pro- 

 tected in such an important purchase. 



We know that Titan tractors are real kero- 

 sene tractors. They are built to operate on 

 kerosene. They operate successfully on 

 kerosene. When we sell one we guarantee 

 it to operate on kerosene, writing that guar- 

 antee into the warranty that you get when 

 you sign the order. 



When you buy a Titan tractor you are safe. 

 You have the written guarantee of a respon- 

 sible Company that your tractor will do good 

 serviceable work using common coal oil as 

 fuel at all loads. Titan 1Q-20

Titan tractors are now built in three sizes, 

 10-20-H. P., the 3- P low outfit; 15-30-H. P., for 

 4 and 5 plows; and 30-60-H. P., for the heaviest 

 work of the largest farms. All operate on 

 kerosene. 



The 1 0-20-H. P. size is recommended for 

 all kinds of farm work within its capacity. It 

 is a two-speed tractor, 1.85 and 2.50 miles per 

 hour, with a smooth running twin cylinder 

 engine, slow speed, mechanically oiled, start- 

 ing and running on magneto. It can be used 

 for any field work you would expect nine or 

 ten horses to do, and it will run any machine 

 that takes up to 20-H. P. at the belt
