ABE OF IRRIGATION
REAWAKENING OF THE
INDUSTRIAL ARTS
England In Egypt and India, France
In the Sahara and America on the
Deserts of Arizona and New Mexico
Are Performing Matchless Feats In
Reclamation.
There Is no one thing that protends
future greatness of the present civil
ization moro than the efforts now be
ing put forth In all the arid regions
of the earth to make the desort and.
waste places habitable and product
ive. Archaeologists tell us that where
they have found mnn's strugglo for
existence nardest, there they have
found the highest types of civilization
that are dead and gone.
On the high plateaus of South
America and the mesas of Mexico; in
the desert where flows !'c N'':c, oa
the bleached plains .of Arabia and
where the sacred Ganges courses to
the sea are found traces of feats of
irrigating skill, broken works of art,
ruined temples and shrines that equal
and in some instances surpass the
boasted skill oi modern engineering,
art and architecture.
Notably among these was the great
canal ways taken from .o Euphrates
and Tigris to make fruitful the desert
plains of ancient Chaldea. These It
wore that made it possible io have
such flourishing cities ages ago as
Nipur, Ninevah and Babylon. One of
these canals was over 3E0 miles in
length and when running through the
open country between 300 and 400
feet in width and ten feet In depth.
The other canal was very nearly as
ions .aca largo aa thi.-, on. end the
two of them watered something like
z,bl)0,000 acres of lanu. Hut conquest
depopulated Chaldea and floods wash
ed away and sands covered up the
handiwork of its ancient inhabitants.
All this vast amount of arid land
Is now to be reclaimed under the
management of Sir 'William "Wilcox.
He places the cost of reconstructing
the canals at 21,000,000 or a little
over $100,0uu,000.
The British government is now
working on the Sone"nroject In India
which when completed will extend a
distance of '370 miles and irrigate
500,000 acres of land. Besides this
there have been constructed in India
over 2,000 miles of canals which irri
gate over 6,000,000 acres of land. The
British in Africa Tiavu but recently
completed two enormous dams to
store the waters of the upper Nile,
which will reclaim several millions qT
acres of land of the Sahara desert.
Australia Is also beginning to take
steps to reclaim her arid plains, but
unfortunately this country is not so
well traversed with streams, nor is
the rainfall sufficient at any season
of the year In many localities to war
rant building large reservoirs for stor
age purposes, so that the Irrigation
problem In that country will not be
so easily solved as It is In many other
parts of the world, but time and tne
Ingenuity of man will find a way to
somehow prop'e the Australian des
erts and make them blossom like the
rose.
It is safe to say that, so far as
America Is concerned, within the next
30 years the United States govern
ment will have reclaimed at least 10,'
000,000 acVcs of Its arid lands. This
means more than (10,000 new farms
of 100 acres each. It also means the
stimulating of the agricultural Inter
ests of this country to a degree never
before known, and the dawning of a
greater prospentv for America than
any nation on earth.
