Amongst other winners from this sec

John A. Orr of Scott's Bluff, Nebr.
was in the city Wedneaday on his return
home from South Omaha, where- he had
been marketing stock. He visited here
his son David. Mr. Orr is secretary of
the Enterprise Irrigation district, organ
ized under the state law. Their ditch is
twenty-seven miles in length, and is
capable of doing service for 10.400 acres.
In two counties, Scott's Bluff and
Cheyenne, there are a goodly number of
small ditches, besides 70.000 acres under
irrigation, and a proposed ditch which
will supply with water 140.000 acres of
land. With water, the raising of alfalfa,
mangel-wurzel and sugar beeta to feed
to hogs and cattle, becomes, under skill
ful manipulation, a busueas which pays
big profits. To those not conversant
with what can be done with alfalfa and
irrigation, the accounts are little, less
than marvelous. One owner of 320 acres
turned off last year's product on the
farm, netting $7,000. This was counting
just the year's product in tie value of
the hogs and cattle sold. One-half his
land is enclosed by a good, hog-tight
fence, and there were nine hundred tons
of alfalfa cut and put up on the place,
besides what the cattle and hogs used
as pasture.
