During the recent debate the Senator from Wisconsin renewed a suggestion that he made some ten years ago. that the public .lands in those States ought to be made available for that purpose. There is no public land in any of the States where irrigation is required where homesteads can be made. You can not make homesteads there at all. The homestead law is absolutely inoperative. In order to make the lands available at all there must be irrigation. Irrigation works there now. since the land along the streams has been appropriated. are too expensive for immigrants to engage in. Something must be done. The States know best how to do it.
