IRRIGATION DEVELOP
MENT IN OUR STATE
Speech Made by W. E. Guthrie, of
Omaha, at the Meeting of Ne
braska State Irrigation A
ociation in Bridgeport
Last November.
I have b"en asked to (five "fi short
talk on Irrigation development In
our stale, and how we can help pro
not it".
Th subject in no broad and so
ROmprohonalve thai what I may bo
able to say nlong these lines in a
short talk must necessarily be very
linn h restricted and condensed.
The text given DM divides ItSSlf
naturally Into two distinct phases of
the subject of Irrigation. The first.
development of irrigation in the
past;" and the second, "what can
we as an organlat Ion do to help de
velop irrigation in Nebraska in the
future?"
Irrigation Ih an old as the world's
civilization, and yet, In the United
States it may be said to be In its
Infancy. The vast and seemingly
unlimited tr.uts of land on which the
rainfall Is sufficient to mature crops,
rendered It unnecessary for those
who have gone before us to give any
thought to the subject of irrigation,
and it is within the memory of men
not yet old, that the American peo
ple have given any serious consider
ation to this great Btibject, and while
much haB been done, and millions of
acres of what was, but yesterday, a
part of the '"great American desert"
have been made to "blossom as the
rose", and thousands of happy ttd
prosperous homes have been estab
lished where hut a few years ago
the prairie dog, the owl and the rat
tlesnake were the sole inhabitants,
what has been done Is only the be
ginning of what will be accomplished
by irrigation in the future.
While Nebraska has accomplished
much in the way of irrigation devel
opment the past twenty years, much
remains to be done; in fact, Irriga
tion development in Nebraska is still
in its infancy. Were 1 to venture
Into the realms of prediction or
prophecy, 1 would give It as my de
liberate opinion that what has been
done In the way of Irrigation devel
opment in Nebraska is but a drop In
the bucket compared with what will
be done in the not distant future.
In my opinion the time is not far
away when every reservoir Bite in
western Nebraska which can be fill
ed with river, small stream, or by
flood-water, will be so filled, and
that tenB of thousands of acres of
land now thought to be non-irrigable
will be brought under irrigation
from these reservoirs, and will be
come the most valuable lands In this
great state.
The time will soon come whei wat
er will be appreciated in western Ne
braska as it is appreciated else
where in the arid west, and when
that time does come, we shall see
the splendid reservoir sites which
are so plentiful in this part of Ne
hraska, all utilized, and the millions
ol cubic leet ot water that now runs
to waste annually will be conserved
j for use on lands now almost value
less. "How can we best promote irriga
tion development in Nebraska" in
1 lie future? One ot the many things
; we may' do to promote such devel
opment is to proclaim to the world
that western Nebraska is on the map
j as an urid or semi-arid country.
I Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexiso and
1 stall's west are well known as arid
states, but Nebr.i.tka with her splen
did record as an agricultural state
under rainfall, is not generally rec
ognized as an arid Of semi-arid coun
try. It is not generally known that
Nebraska is as large as New York,
f New Jersey, Massachusetts and Ver
mont combined, and thai that part
I of the stale west of the one hun
dredth meridian where Irrigation is
necessary is as large as the slate
j of Ohio. IX it be known that west
em Nebraska is not only on the map
as an arid country, but that, water
I supply, soil, climate, altitude and
markets combine to make it one of
the most tempting fields either for
the capitalist or the home maker, in
all the western country: a country
i equalled by few and surpassed by
none in the United States. These
are a few of the things we may do.
It has been my observation thai
the man who knows just What he
wants and goes after it in the right
way gets what he goes after. The
Meat problem of development of ir
rigation in Nebraska is too big for
individual effort to accomplish. Only
lv combination and by pulling to
gether can we get what we must
have for future development . I firm
; l.v believe that in the organization
j of the Nehra.-ka State Irrigation As
I aocittUoa, a movement has been
started that will do more to
solve the complex problems of irri
gation development in Nebraska,
than its most optimistic friends
couM ;.ope for it. if this organisa
tion becomes as strong as it ought
to become, it can to made a power
! for gooda far rUSCiltU? indeed
I What we most need and must have
before irrigation development in Ne
braska can be promoted successful
ly, is more men who are w illing and
ft1 to use the irrigating shovel, and
I ti c nan with the hoe.
organization can be made a
l power for good in bringing these peo
ple into Nebraska. No one man or
company can accomplish much in
this direction, but all the people
Dulling together in one strong or
ganisation can do wonders Such an
organization will, 1 believe, do much
to build up what college students
tail "college spirit". In other words
; every member will be a booster for
j Nebraska. 1 hope every man who
I". interested in irrigation develop
I ment in Nebraska will become a
: member of this association and be
jlleve it to be the way we can best
I promote such development.

GOOD TIMES FOR EVERYBODY
ONE HUNDRED YEARS HENCE
Thomas A. Kdtson, the great in
ventor, predicts that then will he
no poverty in t he world a hundred
years from now, owing to an abun
dance of labor-saving machinery
Which will make it possible to easily
produce all that will be necessary
for the comfort ot all the inhabit
ants of the globe. That sounds good
to us who are Interested in the wel
fare of our unborn descendants, I, ,
it doesn't give Immediate relit f to
the underpaid laborer of the present
day who finds it difficult to "keep
the wolf from the door'' in his ef
forts to supply the needs of his fam
ily in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and eleven. No matter how
many may be the labor-saving devii
es of the coming century, -whether
they will drive poverty from the
world will depend also upon some
other things. With the wonderful
productivity of the soil under scien
tific cultivation, with the latent re
sources of mines and forests and
with the wonder-fid facilities for
manufacture and transportation, it
ought to be possible in this a;e for
every able-bodied person to easily
make a comfortable living for him
self and those dependent upon him;
and it would be possible under pro
per governmental conditions.
But if there is really to be such
good times a hundred year's from
now that poverty will be entirely
banished, some of us may reason
ably hope to live long enough to see
an improvement over present condi
tions. As the Omaha World-Herald
aptly remarks: "If there is to be no
poverty in u hundred years, then in
twenty-five years there should he no
loan sharks charging ISO per cent
Interest; no children working in
mines and factories; no women wash
ing or scrubbing for a living; no
bread lines When crops are good.
We shall take pleasure in noting
progress on New Year's day of t he
year IMC."
