In the Big Horn Basin and Yellow stone Valley farmers have raised splendid crops. Their income this year will be greater than ever and it all comes from an ample water supply. The farmer “controlled the rain” and applied the water as his crops needed it. The Government system of irrigation provides during the growing season two feet of water per acre, the equivalent of twelve heavy rains of two in dies each; think what such a water supply would have meant to your com munity during the summer of 1911. Why not go with me on the next excursion into the Big Horn Basin and look over that land of sunshine and bounty; new Government units of the finest kind of irrigated land near Ralston now available with perpetual water rights on the easiest of terms.
