IIX CONSTRUCTION OF IHKIOATION

iMy J U. Scbsupp ofArcaUla.i
Ko. Northwestern:—The agita
tion of the irrigation question
throughout western Nebraska supple
mented by the effects of the drouth
has caused numerous projected irri
gating canals, irrigating districts
formed on b »nd<* voted, and it has
been proved that double the amount
of product! can be raised per acre
on irrigate <J lands wherever it has
been praeticeo.
The value of laud depends on how
inuuh eau be raised per aere,
the cost of cultivation and the mar
et price. Our average crop of wheat
per acre for the last ton years has
not exceeded \ i bushels, eorn about
JO bushels, oats about the same.
The potato orop is from 20 to 100
bushels per acre. The reports from
in igated lands ave rugs, wheat -10
bushels, corn SO bushels, oati. HO
bushels and potatoes 200 per ucre.
For the last four years the crops
raised here have not paid the cost of
(lultivatiug the dry land, and there
fore each luud is almost worthless
o u AKA maI itR i i nloront fen nunilul
and taxes. But as no farmer would
Hell his fmm for a few dollars 1 will
suy il is worth >1.0 per acre. Hut
laud under a well constructed ditch
aud level, so the water can be baud
led would be worth more than (50
per acre. Tho uoat per acre to con
struct an irrigation ditch in different
parts of this uud other slates is from
|3 to (10, according to number of
acres to be iriigated, and the length
of ditch to cover such number, also
uneven grounds, fills, deep cuts aud
long Dooms, are necessary, figures
greatly to the cost per aere.
Where the cost exceeds (5 per
acre aud the land is not 20 fast
above water level, water oan be
raised by wind power for less than
per acre.
We hear men who are experiment
ing for the tirst season claim that
irrigation is not a success You
might us well give a man without
education a lawy tr's library and ex
pect him to beeonic a shining light
lu the legsl profession as to expect
a mau who never ssw a uaual before
to reach the best result in irrigating,
simply because he has water to apply
to his land, it acquires a little
practice: ar.d so with constructing a
ditch. If both the farmer aud
lawyer try to construct a complicat
ed irrigating canal they are both out
of their element and the result must
be a complete failure.
As this is simply an agricailural
country our only source of income
lies in the products of oar soil. We
rift vn u# cumyou* mi in uur tyruiu,
t aitle ami huge in the world*' murk
el*. The more we can produce per
acre and tlie higher the market price
the more it will benefit the farmer,
merchant and laboring man.
The crop* reduced in bulk and
weight, by converting them into
hog-, cattle and flour, will eave
freight to eastern market.
All there i» needed to accomplish
the above la cheaper power for
manufacturing, a* we now huyc a
well constructed irrigating eanal
winch will answer for both purpose*,
Your l.oup l it) eanal hue tiA feet

light and water work*, if such pow
er had to bo transmitted for ten
miles, If properly carried out, would
be cheaper tbsn steam power.
The water millers in the state
have spent a large amount of money
ou our sandy, quick saud streams to
create power for milling purposes
and all have been a failure. Only
a few are jet trying, the rest are
standing idle or have been moved
away, and all en account of not
understanding how to handle quick
sand. All those millers that ever
hsd a test of it could never be in
duced to build on a quick send
stream again, and only lie who un
derstands how to make a seperation
