Special correspondent ABILEXE in Dodge City Kansas describes a proposed under flow irrigation to irrigate western Kansas and Nebraska’s parched plains. The plan, tested along the Arkansas River, uses underground water at several feet depth to supply year round flow, arguing conventional ditches or reservoirs are impractical. The effort seeks congressional support for a national irrigation program.

The discovery promises to turn Mississippi valley regions into perpetual fertility and extend grazing on uplands. C. M. Harcea discusses potential prosperity and new irrigation tests. The Twin Sister Fad notes fashionable women adopting similar dress styles.
