an irrigation district and the .selection of directors for
the rict.
The election is the most important ever held in the
valley, as it marks the culmination of years of agitation
created hy shortage in production and the realization that
the remedy consists in supplying the deficiency of nature.
In a valley surrounded hy abundant treams of water,
with land held at high prices, we present the curious spec
tacle of losing our crops year after year through not having
intelligence enough to utilize, our resources.
The cheapest, most economical and satisfactory way
to secure water is under the district or community plan,
where all share its cost and reap its benefits. It has worked
successfully elsewhere and has proven a much more satis
factory system than where the water is individually pur
chased from private corporations.
Tin.1 formal ion of the district which the land owners
vote upon is juere'Jv a preliminary in the creation of the
district.' Jt is the first step in

and study sources and cost
AYhen the directors have decided niton the proposition to

election is held and the proposition accepted or rejected.

concern. It merely starts procedure to place the land

Stripped of animosities,
the question to be decided is
progress by making it possible to increase production, or
wnetner we are content to mark time or retrograde hy pro
ducing insul I icient ly to support our population.
In an article on the ''Progress of Irrigation" in the
Literary Digest, of December the findings of the com
mittee of the ( 'handlers of onnnorce of the Tinted States
state that "practically all agricultural products can be
grown more successfully on irrigated lands than other
wise. " Following are pertinent points of tho report:
Moro than that, thn itvnraKn production of nlinoHt every agricultural
product on irrigated la mitt iwends th.it oT non-irriKuttd lands by 10 to iiu
Mr cent. According tn Iho cuimit it too of which An lun W. Douglas of
St. LoitiH it; chairman, irrigation is tho most intensive and highest l'orm of
Hcinntific aKrlcuHurt'. Crops are practically nsnurtd.

National Chamber Comnittoe (tvv.larew. The fanner is no lonKor up against
thn forces of nature, for the rule of his venture lies almost entirely in bin
own hands, nis real problem is to find an adequate market for his pro
ducts, and to overcome the handicaps of cosily and 1hk transportation.
Ilo has done this with success by applying the principle of co-operation
and hy judicious und unceasing advnrtivinn, establishing in the very bo
;;!nnlnK a reputation for the quality of his products.
"So In our tlnvs we are building in our arid regions an empire of ir
rigalinn that embodies the spirit of pVtigressive democracy. It is no mere
act blent that Irrigated nylons have sot the pace in all manner of intelli
gent agricultural production and distribution. Nor is it by blind chance
that in the main the states of Irrigation are among the lowest in illiteracy1 '
and the source and mainstay today of most of the reforms in our social,
