Murdoce's Idea for Western Irrigation Efforts
The piece argues for supplemental irrigation in Western Kansas led by Murdock and others, criticizing slow government action. It cites rainfall patterns from late 19th to early 20th centuries, notes arid regions needing artificial moisture, and discusses potential water sources, reservoirs, and national attention to irrigation policy. The tone urges action to develop irrigation as a national priority and to prompt departmental engagement.
