Show Irrigation. To supply wafer for the farmers of the arid regions is a great problem. Thousands of dollars are going to build dams, to dig tunnels, to take rivers riv-ers from their banks and run them Into fertile valleys, to build ditches all to help the western farmers. In Kansas wells must be depended on for most of the water used for irrigation irriga-tion purposes. Some wells have been dug and are paying big dividends. Others Oth-ers will be built. It is only by irrigation that the best results can be obtained in the western part of the state. The soil is rich, the climate good, but the rain either does not come at the right time or enough water does not fall. With water furnished, fur-nished, good crops can and will be grown. |
