IRRIGATION
Under the Hatchtown project you are absolute
ly secured in your water ritilUs. The supply is
far in excess of any possible need Tlip reservoir
covers an area approximately of GOO acres, and
has a capacity of 16,000 acre feet of water or an
equivalent of a body covering one square mile of
surface swenty-five feet deep; or sufficient water
under normal conditions to irrigate 8,000 acres of
land, allowing the lands to be covered six inches
deep, four times each season.
Tho entire tract embraced in the-Hatchtown
project appears to the naked eye to be perfectly
level, yet there is a gentle and regulur slope to
ward the Sevier river, ample for irrigation and
sufficient for drainage purposes. There is not
even a truce of alkali or roek on the entire segre
gation. Not $10 need ever be spent to make the
entire-tract perfectly level.
MARKET
There is a market right at your door for the
products of your farm under the Hatchtown
project. The country to the south in Utah and
the Arizona strip to the Colorado river is a graz
ing country nnd all live stock growers obtain their
supplies at Panguitch, the live stock in the
regions tributury to Panguitch is: Sheep '100,000:
cattle'300.000; goats 10,000. Hence there is a
ready market for all farm products right at home.
State Board of Land Commissioners will furnish you the
money to buy an Irrigated farm nd allow you to pay back
the money in installments from the crops.

THE SOIL
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. There
is one peculiarity about Utah lands, about all
snge brush land; it is a great deal better than It
looks. Turn water upon it find see. Tho promises
it makes are more than fulfilled . It is nutur
olly adapted for small grain, for ulfalfa, for
potatoes, for 6iigar beets and for horticulture.
The Innds under tho Hatchtown project havo soil
that is from twelve to thirty, feet deep. Sago
brush and buffalo grass cover the lands, it is free
from alkali, and is a sandy 'loam, the wash, the
erosion from the mountain for uges and the
deposit of silt from the Sevier river. Wheat yields
on lands in the Panguitch valley, where tho
Hatchtown project lies, 40 bushels to the aero.
Oats of a superb quality with a bright plump
berry, yields 05 bushels per acre. Barley yields
heavy, 400 bushels to the acre. Potatoes yield
000 bushels per ucre. Alfalfa four to six tons
per acre. Oats nnd alfalfa sown together produce
40 bushels of grain and four tons of alfalfa'per
acre.
Farmers in tho rain belt cannot believe the
stories of the great yield, tho great crops that
the farmers raise on irrigated farms. But the
crops are produced, and there is neither miracle
or accident in their production. Irrigated lands
contain mineral salts which art highly beneficial.
Tho lands under the Hatchtown reclamation
project are most fertile nnd the deposit of silt
which tho waters from the Sevier carry is a fer
tilizer of the best kind, There is no need of
artificial fertilizers, the turning under of legumin
ous crop occasionally is all the fertilizer needed
in addition to the silt from the canal.
