Arrangements Perfected for
Irrigation of Lands in
Several Farms as an
Experiment
In speaking of the visit of Sup-
ervising Engineer Hall two weeks
ago the Signal-Star stated that he
advised the establishment of an
exerimental farm for the purpose
of determining the advantage of
irrigation and whether or not the J
water of the North Fork carried
too great a percentage of salt to
be used on the Kiowa county
lands.
Now all arrangements have
been perfected and the engine
and pumps ordered. Instead of
confining the experiment to one
farm it is now the intention to
try it on several farms.
Mr. Camp, the engineer in
charge of the work here has
made the necessary surveys to de-
termine upon location, &c.
The pumping station will be
a ditch which will follow the
hillside around the mountain,
then will carry the water down
the valley.
Service of water from the ditch
will begin at Charly Matx’ farm
and then touch the Rogers,
Koontz, Jackson Allen, McCowan,
Burnett & Cormack, Andrew Gas-
sin and J. W. McCoy farms, on
each of which small tracts of
land will be served with water.
The ditch will run so that all
j grades and quality of land to be
I found within the area to be
i brought under the Navajo system
j may be tested.
Tests will be made as to quan-
tity of water needed, the effect it
has on different kinds of lands.
Every sort of crop which will
grow in this country will be tried
and comparisons made as to the
amount of each which the unirri-
gated lands and the irrigated lands
will produce.
The reclamation department buys
and installs the engines, pumps
and other machinery necessary
for the station and makes the
main ditch. The owners of the
various lands will level and
otherwise prepare their lands for
reception of the water, bear all
the expenses of operating the
pumping station and keeping the
ditch up and get all proceeds
from sale of crops.
These experiments will prove
valuable object lessons to our
farmers as well as to show Uncle
Sam what quantity of water per
acre is needed and just how the
water from the North Fork will
act upon the crops growing on
the different varieties of land.
The work on the ditches will
started within the next two

On what page ia their ofler to

What lino of credit will they
extend to you when your crops
are poor and money gone—when,
through illness and misfortune,
you are unable to send "cash
with order" for your groceries,
clothing, farm tools, crockery,
stoves and ranges?
Where is their offer to contri-
bute to your entertainment next
year? What did they do last
year?
In short, will they do anything
to provide a market for what you
have to sell and thereby keep up
the value of your estate? Will
they do any thing for social,
church, school or government
support, or do they take your
dollar out of the community with
no return except the goods you
buy?
Tnink this over carefully—then
call on your local dealer, where
you can see and examine the
goods before you buy them, and
by comparison of prices and qual-
ity you will see that you can do
as well or better at home, and
you keep the money at home,
thereby helping to build up your
local town.

Cleveland, Okla
Friend Allison:—
I write yon to have my paper
changed to the above address. I
guess you will think I move
some, eh! Well, I hsve purchas-
ed s nice stesm laundry plant at
this plsce. Am very well satis-
fied with my purchase as the bus-
iness is good and considering that
the laundry business at this time
of the year is at its lowest ebb I
think I will do nicely.
This is a good town of about
3,000 people with good future
prospects. I believe one could
stand in one place and count 400
oil wells.
We can give the coal man the
laugh here as we have an abund-
ance of natural gas for light and
fuel.
I have many friends in Snyder
that I regret to leave but I never
could be satisfied there since the
storm. It did not seem like horn;
any more.
If any of you people of Snyder
ever happen in Cleveland don’t
fail to hunt me up. Hoping you
will never have another storm
like the memorable one of May
10 and that you will all prosper
and be happy, I remain as ever,
Yours truly,
A. J. Mize.

Fred C. Switzer, formerly
Snyder, is a candidate for the
democratic nomination for Coun-
ty Treasurer over in Greer
County, with a good show to win
out. Success to Fred. As Greer
is hopelessly democratic and
there is no show on earth for a
republican the Signal-Star would
like to see Fred nominated and
elected as he is a fine gentleman
and a first-class business man.
A Letter From Rev. W. E. Lee
Elmer, Okla., Feb. 14, 1906.
Editor Signal-Star:—
I am glad to get the Signal-Star
every week and how I love to
read the reports from correspond-
ents. As we lived two years in
Kiowa county it is like a letter
from home. We will always love
the people of Kiowa and expect in
the future to make our home in
Snyder as we have some little
property there. But at present I
am preacher on the Elmer circuit
and am happy to serve as kind
and acceptable a people as we
find on Elmer circuit.
Our town has began to boom.
Improvements—building a lumber
yard, hotel, a drug store and a
bank, see!
Dear editor, ye scribe votes the
"dimocrat” ticket and reads the
Signal-Star with delight, but it is
funny to see how the editor chron-
°f icles the birth of every girl baby
in a democratic family, with such
rejoicing, but we rejoice with you
for we beiieve the mothers will
train their children for the com-
ing day. Success to the Signal-
Star and its many readers.
W. E. Lee, Elmer, O. T.
