AMERICA AND IRRIGATION.
Ours is the foremost country in the
world in the reclamation of its arid
land. To the untraveled easterner
the extent of the irrigation of west-
em lands under direct government su-
pervision is unknown. The work of
individual and corporate concerns
gaises the actual reclamation of arid
land in the west to an enormous to-
tal acreage. Most of this work has
been accomplished within the past
decade, while each year the plans for
still further pushing the conquests of
artificial irrigation are extended, says
the Pittsburg Gazette-Times, That
