PEAKING before the annual con•
vantion of the Western. Canada
Irrigation Association at Kana -
loops, 13.0., A. S. Dawson, chief engi-
neer of the Department of Natural
Resources of the Canadian Pacific
Rallwp y, expressed the faith that is
in him in, the irrigation projects for
Which Western Canada is becoming
fatuous. Although Mr, Dawson has
been connected mainly with the big
irrigation enterprise of the C. P. R.
In Southern Alberta, he does not over-
look tate advantages of small projects
operated by a community of farmers,
er aver by an individual,
"I have had fifteen years' expert-
encs on what are the largest irri-
gation projects in Canada," aald Mr.
Dawson, "but I am willing to admit
that the small projects such as you
have in the immediate vicinity of
Kamloops are quite often more in-
teresting and worthy of fuller con-
sideration than are the larger pro-
jects, These schemes, though small,
should be considered as one of your
greatest assets.
"The benefits of irrigation show
their results in better farms; im-
proved living conditions; improved
social conditions and better citizen-
ship. 31 conducted along proper
lines it improves agriculture, saves
the soli, inculcates industry, produces
prosperity and should provide for
posterity."

Mr..Dawson's reference to the small
irrigation schemes is of particular in-
terest to the farmers of Western
Canada, where there are hundreds—
literally thousands—of creeks and
streams which could be used in a
small way for irrigation purposes.
According to the opinion of an officer
et the Western Canada Irrigation
Association the day is coming when
irrigation in Western Canada will be
limited only by the amount of water
available. The increasing interest in
irrigation is indicated by the fact
that the annual meeting of the asso-
ciation in 1917 will be held in Sara
lcatchewan for the first time. In the
past.1t has always been held in Al-
berta or British Columbia, but this
year the association will meet at
