."."Washington. . April I. The federal
government ta encouraging small rrt
' gallon enterprises, contrary to the gen
! eral impression in the west. One of
. tha moat acte dlvtalona of the agri
cultural department la that of Irrigation
and drainage. T. C Herrmann, one of
tta engineers, with assistants, has trav
eled extensively through the western
states .and now makes 'Statement
which contalna valuable . Information
for ranchers who desire to develop
mailer plants than thoaa available to
large capital and - extensive reclama
tion of acreage.
Probably the action of soma of tha
men who represent the government la
the western reclamation service haa
Justified the belief that tha governmnt
desires to monopolise the irrigation
business But it appear to be the
settled policy to encourage the email'
plana of the men who can reclaim even
ao little aa ttO acres under tha desert
land lsws. - -. ,
Mr. Herrmann tells some talea which
are not built on the theory that there
will be no hardships in developing
those smaller plants. . )
. .'. ... .;- etUani . ta SataeeV: " .
1 have noticed." ha aaye, "that tha
aettlere oa the desert lands are deadly
in earnest, and that they endure hard
ships and eelf -denial often before they
bring their enterprises to aucceaa. But
bar, because the local banker usually
will back a schema which haa for Its
object the addition to tha wealth of tha
locality and especially when the plana
are broached by men or a man of
known honesty and desire to protect
credit. . .
- "The development " of the weat baa
been wonderful. Vast areas have been
reclaimed from the desert wastes, and
thla haa added to the wealth of tha
nation materially. But In many locali
ties the question of a water supply la
serious to the smaller operator on farm
and ranch, and he must witneaa the
flood time waters rush down the moun
tainsides dofng damage Instead of as
sisting in the creation of wealth.
. 'The small I rrl ration plant Is within
the reach of alntost any rancher. It
need not be that expensive engineering
skill la employed, either, and moat in
telligent men . of Industry an carry
through their enterprise to success If
only they have the perseverance and
ordinary knowledge of water and Irri
gation.' .
, 1 Small riant Cited.
Mr. Herrmann then illustrates the
idea by citing the experience of a Mr.
Harris who in the west 'developed t
plant which now la paying him good
return on a email Investment. , Mr.
Harria baa ISO acres of desert land.
He expended a total of tit an aero In

The Territory 'of New Mexico haa
been especially fortunate in the amount
of work and attention devoted to tt
under the terms of the reclamation act,
three projecta having been approved.
and two practically completed, la the
past three years. "'
The Kio Honoo project near tne city
of Roewell has been completed at a
coat of about 1360,000. and water Is
available for the Irrigation of 11.000
acres of fertile land during tha present
eaaon. '
The Carlsbad project In tha south
eastern part of tha territory Is now
nearing completion, and a telegram re
ceived la the Waahlngton oKlce this
morning atated . that -the. first water
waa turned into the main canal yester
day at i o'clock. This project waa pri
marily undertaken by the government
at tbe urgent request of the settle ra to
aave their property and homes which
were threatened with d eat ruction by
drouth, as the reeult of a flood which
washed away a portion of the Avaloa
dam. upon which their canal system
depended for lta supply.
Acting upon the advice of eminent
