IRRIGATION MIRACLES EXFLAINED

Ksch Day on Wonders of Krent
Exhibit of Ills Xtste Moun
tains and Tunnels Seen,
On the stage of the Auditorium Is the
most InterestlnK and popular exhibit at the
Land Hhow. The visltur on leaching the
Colorado exhibit sees before him a minia
ture mountain range and Irrigation system.
The panorama occupies a space of 100 feet
Ions snd twenty fnet wide, and represents
lm) miles of mountain range.
This scenic piece was designed by F. I
Morrison, a Lrner Irrigation engineer.
It was constructed by August Rente, who
has lived In Colorado. Mr. Renxe has
painted the mountains Just as they appear
In June and July. Kor these reasons the
construction of the Irrigation system and
th formation and coloring of the moun
tains are as exact and natural as they
possibly csn be.
On the mountainsides and In the valley
are tiny houses, burns, cattle and power

"After It Is explained, It Is very easy to
understand Irrigation." says Mr. David
son. "Nine out of ten homeseekers who are

that Irrigation Is something mysterious and
expensive. They think that farming Ir

tains during spring and summer drain
down the mountain sides In rivers and
creeks. The water from the rivers Is
caught In reservoirs or artificial lakes. The
reservoirs hold the water until It Is ready
ror use la Irrigating the crops during the
growing season.
Tiny headgates are then raised and the
water In the reservoir rushes out Into
canals. The system of distributing the
water to the various ditches and laterals
Is pointed out and explained. . .
I Hepllea of UannUon Tunnel.
I One of the Interesting features of the
I panorama Is replica of the tunnel portal
of the Gunnison tunnel. The I'ncnm.
pahgre project, or, as It Is better known,
the Gunnison tunnel, Is the principal gov
ernment Irrigation system In Colorado. It
costs $7,000.0(10; the tunnel Is seven miles
long, blasted out of solid rock.
The tunnel Is constructed under a high
mountain range. It conducts water from
a river on one side of a mountain chain
to the other. When completed next fall.
the project will Irrigate 160,000 acres of
rich fruit and farm land.
Two different reservoir systems are Il
lustrated In the exhibit. One Is simple,
consisting only of a reservoir, a dam and
headgates for letting water out. The other
system Is more complicated. It has two
features. One Is the reservoir, which stores
water and lets It out a needed Into a
canal. The canal Is diverted into a river,
which Is dammed at a narrow point In the
river canon. High above the river bed Is
a power house containing a l.W hijrse
power pump, which lifts water 125 'feet
Into a canal, which In turn Irrigates thuu-
tiands of acres of land on the mesa.
Orchard Mesa Reproduced.
This part of the exhibit Is a reproduction
of a Colorado project known as Orchard
Mesa, costing Il.uu0.0u0.
"Just note how valuable water makes
land In Colorado," said ilr. Davidson.
"Two years before water was put on this
Orchard -Mesa the land could have been
bought for liu an acre. Now It Is worth
M to ttv an acre.
"At one time Colorado was among the
Hates that were classed by Daniel Web
ster and other notable men as 'worthless
desert land, that would never be anything
but the cacti and sage-brush strean home
of the buffalo and wild animals.' Even J'tke
uu uiBcovereii i'ikss fcak, held a rather
poor opinion of Colorado land. All this was
iH-fors the Irrigation era of the west, how
ever. The older Irrigated sections of Colo
rado are today Just as highly developed
ana as roerous as Iowa or Nebraska."
Irrlaatrd I.aada Fertile.
Irrigated lands are extremely fertile.

ALFALFA AS A BASIC CROP
Fruits, grasses and grains all grown in
abundance In Colorado. The state shipped
5.223 carloads of apples, peaches and other
fruits, worth $3,43.76, last year. Two thou
sand, five hundred and thirty-six cars of
apples alone were shipped out In 1910.
t attle Raising Flourishes. '
In spite of the cutting up of the big
ranches and encroachment of "nesters '
or homesteaders on the free range, Colo
rado still ranks high as a cattle raising
state. The hogs, cattle, sheer and other
stock raised In 1910 were worth alone $31,
235.000. One-fourth of the beet sugar produced
In the I'nlted States comes from Colorado.'
The state raises more sugar beets than
any other state In the I'nlon. Sixteen sugar
factories, scattered throughout the state,
buy the beets raised by the farmers and
turn the raw material Into sugar. A cap
ital of $18,000,000 Is Invested In the Industry
In Colorado. The sugar manufactured last
year was worth $8,X2.&00. '

FISH WO R KIM Q DAY AND MIGHT

Been Canaut Asleep on the Job.
The gold fish at the Nebraska piscatorial
exhibit at the Land Show are luxuriating
in crystal clear table water. The Hkyrock
company of Omaha has put 1,000 gal
lons of their product on display by the
unique scheme of filling the fish tanks at
the show. The fussy little gold fish are
"lording It over" the less fortunate fish of
lower degree In the comparatively murky
water of the Missouri river, In adjoining
tanks.
The care of the fish at the Land Show
is no small task. Fish Wardon O'Brien's
pets require as much attention as a pet
elephant. They have to be served with
fresh water, copiously and often. Then
several times each day the trout have to
have tliclr regular allowance of ice. In
return for all this attention, however, the
fish work faithfully to entertain the- Iind
8 how guests. So far not, a single fish has
been caught asleip on the Job. They do
their turns faithfully day and night.

to produce a good crop under unfavorable
conditions It will certainly grow luxuri
antly under the more favorable conditions
to which I submit the seed. For the same
reason I select my seed corn for r.iy
poorest ground, because a corn that can
develop a good ear on poor soil has the
power of marvelous production when
planted In good soil, in general, Nebraska
has three distinct alfalfa zones and the
time for seeding should be governed by the
meteorological and soli conditions of the
place w here It Is proposed to plant the
seed.
Has Great Food Value.
"The food value of alfalfa cannot be
overestimated. It supplies a deficiency
that bas long bean felt In animal rations.
In a general way It may be said that a
pfoper animal ration contains a proper
ratio of protein and carbohydrate ele
ments. The protein of the food la that
element from which are built the body
tissues muscles, bone, nerve and sinew.
It also supplies the waste of these tis
sues In a mature animal. The protein Is
what might be called tha growing food.
If a young animal does not have suffi
cient protein In Ms rations he will be
deficient In growth, that la, ha will not
have the material out of which to build
the new tissues."
"The carbohydrate element Is used by
tho animal In the p oductlon of heat and
physical energy, and the surplus energy
Is tored up in the body In the form of
fat. Mature animals will keep fat on a
carbohydrate ration, but young animals
will shrink If there is a deficiency In pro
tein. The native grasses of the west
have a high carbohydrate ratio and are
generally deficient In protein. This In
a large degree accounts for the winter
shrink In young animals on the range.
Alfalfa supplies this deficiency, and Is
therefore, Imilspeneible to the successful
stock grower.

Charles Mann of Chadron, a member of
the State Board of Agriculture, arrived at
the Land Hhow Saturday. He will remain
until the end of tlie show.
"The farmers of our county are particu

of the exceptionally good alfalfa shown."
said Mr. Mann. "We specialize In alfalfa

has disappeared.
"We now know that gleu proper seid

his soil Is lacking In nitrogen.
"It seems like an almost unnecessary
anomaly In nature that while four-fifths
of the bulk of our atmosphere Is pure
nitrogen, we are unable to apply It di
rectly to our soil. We are Immersed In It
and cannot use It. The alfalfa plant by
virtue of the bacterial life that Infests
Its roots can take this nitrogen from the
air and store It In the soil for the use
of plants. It Is the regenerator of worn
out soil. No farmer Is living up to his
privileges who neglects to grow it. Upon
the fertility of our soli rests the prosper
ity of the future, and alfalfa will take
care of that fertility.
F.xaniplrs of Fertility.
"I do not want to make any exaggerated
statement I prefer to understate than
to overstate but I would give Just one
Illustration of the regenerative power of
alfalfa. I know of one farmer who on
a certain field was unable to raise only
fifteen bushels to tho acre. He put the
field in alfalfa. For two years he cut
it as hay; then It was used two yeara as
a hog pasture. It was then broken up and
put into corn, and the first crop was esti
mated at eighty bushels to ths acre. I
am raising hogs and dairy cattle with the
help of alfalfa. If I could not have alfalfa
I should go out of business. I feel
under personal obligations to the
I should go out of buslne.-s. I feel under
personal obligations to alfalfa.
One of the most interesting and unique
displays of the Iand Show Is the alfalfa
exhibit put on by the Northwestern rail
road. Too much credit cannot be given to
this road for the Interest In alfalfa growing
that has been elicited by this exhibit. It
lias attracted all classes of people, chil
dren us well as adults. If there Is any
self-Interest on the part of the railroad In
putting on thlx exhibit it Is not apparent.
It strikes the average observer aa merely
an attempt to show the advantages that
will accrue to the farmers of the west by
growing this most remarkable crop. The
credit for the actual mechanical work In
putting on the exhibit and for tvorklng out
the Idea there displaced Is due entirely to
William Jone of Dorcester. Neb., a mem
ber of the State Kaord of Agriculture, who
originated and put on the alfalfa exhibit
at the last two Corn Shows
Alfalfa Farm Nhnnn.
The Idea In this exhibit Is unliiue. Inter
esting and at the some t!m amusing. It
reprei-ents a tvplial alfalfa farm In Ne
braska. At first I he different kinds of soil,
black gumbo, sandy loam and loecs are
shown Then there are three fields devoted
to the raising of hogs on alfalfa. Here are
the pastures, feed bunks, and all parapher
nalia of the Induntry In miniature. Then
cumes the sheep feeding department here
floiks of sheep are admitted through a
gate. Then comes the rattle feed lot. where
cattle are being prepared on corn and al
falfa for the slaughter house. Then comes
a model dairy barn with the cows in the
j stanclilonK. and the modern farm residence
; vllh sn automobile at the door.
' A little further are exhibited the opera
I lions of baying, the modem having tools
jtUs sut aifalta, ths windrows, the shocks
and last of nil the stacks of the gathered
crop. The last part of the exhibit shows
what becomes of the surplus of alfalfa.
It Is estimated that only one-tenth
of the alfalfa grown In this country Is
being consumed upon the farm where It
Is grown. This exhibit shows that It Is
marketed In tho cities of the east. Pome
Idea of the maunltuile of this hnuin..
be drawn from the fact that one of the
smallest alfalfa mills In the state puts
two carloads of alfalfa meal upon the
market In New York every day In the
year, Sundays not excepted. This say
nothing of the amount marketed In the
other cities of the east.
