Guthrie, of Omaha, at the Meeting of Ne braska State Irrigation As sociation in Bridgeport Last November. Nmm St'tel unj N: , I liBVt' bevn nuked to j;vr "n short talk on IrriKHtlon development In our stat'. and how we enn help pro mote it". The subject is 10 hr.ind and so coin prohen she that whnt I may he able to say fctOO these lines in a short talk must necessarily he very much restricted and condensed. The text given nie divides Itself 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 organi.at ion do to help de velop irrigation in Nebraska In the future?" Irrigation is as old as the world's civilization, and yet, In the United States It may he said to be In Its Infancy. The vast and seemingly unlimited trai ls 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 subject, and while much has been done, and millions of ncres of what was, but yesterday, a part of the "great American desert" have been made t; "blossom ns the rose", and thousands of happy and prosperous homes have been estab lished where but few years ago the pr.iirie 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 I to venture Into the realms of prediction or prophecy, I would give it as my de liberate opinion that what has been done in the way of Irrigation devel opment in Nebraska is hut 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 site in western Nebraska whit ita can be fill ed with river, small stream, or by flood-water, will be so filled, and that tens of thousands of acres of land now thought to be non-lrrlga-ble will he brought under irrigation from these reservoirs, nnd will be come the most valuable lands in this great state. The time will soon come when 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 aplendid reservoir sites which are so plentiful In this part of Ne braska, all utilized, and the millions of cubic feet of water that now runs to waste annually will be conserved for use on lands now almost value less. "How can we best promote Irriga tion development in Nebraska" in the future? One of the many things we may do to promote such devel opment is to proclaim to the world that western Nebraska Is on the map as an arid or semi-arid countr- Colorado. Wyoming. New Mexiso ai. states west are well known as ariu states, but Nebraska with her splen did record as an agricultural state under rainfall, is not generally rec ognized as an arid or semi-arid coun try. It is not generally known that Nebraska is as large as New York, New Jersey. Massachusei t s and Wr mont combined, and that that part of the state west of the one hun Idredth meridian where Irrigation is j necessary Is as large as the state I Of Ohio. Let it be known thai west ern Nebraska is not only on the BMP as an arid country, but that, water supply, soil, climate, altitude anil ; markets combine to make it one of the most tempting fields either tor the capitalist or the home maker, in ali the western country: a country equalled by few and surpusbed by none in the t'nited States. These are u few of the things we may do. Ii has been my observation that the man who kuows just what he wants and goes after it In the right way gets what he goes after. The groat problem of development of ir- llgatlon In Nebraska Is too big for Individual effort to accomplish. Only by Combination und by pulling to Met her can we get what we must have for future development. 1 firm ly believe that in the organization of the Nebraska State Irrigation Aa I socletion, a movement has been started that will no more to solve the complex problems of irri gation development in Nebraska, thai) its mos optimistic friends COUld i. ope for it. If this organiza tion becomes as strong as it ought 10 become, it can bt made a power for nyMi, far rea bin? indeed. bA! we mo! need and must have 11 it. re irrigation development In Ne- KaU can be promoted successful ij . is more men who are willing and able to use the irrigating shovel, and the man with the ho". Our organization can be made a power Tor good in bringing these peo pie Intg Nebraska No one man or company can accomplish much in this direction, but all the people pi.HIng together in one strong or -aui..itiou can do wonders. Such an organization will. I believe, do much to build up what college students call "college spirit". In other words, every member will be a booster for Nebraska I hope every man who I-, interested in irrigation develop menl in Nebraska will become a member of this association and be lieve It to be the way we can best promote such development.
