EXTRACTS FROM THE INTRODUCTION.

The articles reprinted in the following pages have been collected from a variety of sources and brought together in the hope that they may afford useful practical information to those interested in the development of the agricultural resources of this country. Between the various articles the only connecting link is that they all deal with various phases of the question of lift irrigation. These papers contain a fairly complete record of the experimental work done in Madras during the last ten years in connection with raising water for irrigation. One of them deals with irrigation by pumping in the United States, and nearly all of them contain proposals, many of which have recently been carried into practical operation with a fair amount of success.
