NEW SOUTH WALES AND IRRIGATION.
REPORT BY VICTORIAN EXPERT. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. SYDNEY, This Day. Mr. Elwood Mead, the Victorian Irrigation Expert, has examined the Barren Jack irrigation scheme, on the Murrmnbidgec River, at the request of the New South Wales Government. Mr. Mead says the area to be irrigated from • the great storage reservoir now being constructed will accommodate 300,000 people for a start. Americans, he considers, are the best irrigationists, as they best understand the conditions of success. He thinks that those Americans who are now migrating to irrigation areas in Mexico would be glad to come to Australia if inducements were offered.
