Great irrigation project reshapes Northwest farmland plan
A federal irrigation effort, Ford-Trenton reclamation, will allocate 550000 dollars and start within sixty days. The project aims to reclaim about 13000 acres of arid land in western North Dakota, with a dam and reservoir holding 20000 to 25000 acre feet of water and canals extending along the Great Northern Railway toward Linton. This marks the first in a series of western irrigation schemes designed to open lands for settlement, appealing to homeseekers and investors as government lands grow scarcer.
