Deserting and anxious t i i .... . aim, wnen u is provided witn an adequate water supply, jumps in value from j dol lar to a hundred dollars an acre and the created value of the American Desert when irrigated with the Hand wafer ;h r "in in waste, would be not far from ten thousand million dollars, a val uation too stupendous for intelligent con ception. The most remarkable and wonderful feature of the irrigation development of the government lies in the fact that the cost of this great work will be all paid back to the government. The first com pleted national irrigation Work was an nounced last June a small patch of 60.- of the lands included shows that the farmers and prospective settlers are will- to have the government go ahead on the basis pf the repayment by the land holders of this amount The only hindrance to the commencement of work on this project lies in the fact that the government has not the necessary appropriation. , Wnere irrigaUu Uuii ,'.!!! pviiirn an nually farm and fruit crops worth from $20 to $100 an acre, the intitial cost of an adequate water supply, even when the cost is high, is not a serious consideration and the obligation is gladly undertaken by Hosts of settlers. The rush for these irri gated lands upon which to make homes is far in excess of the supply of the improv ed land.
