    Indian Head is believed to have had the most grain elevators of any Saskatchewan community - there were apparently 12, along with a flour mill.

Rear Window of a Car Shows a "Save the Tallgrass Prairie" Sticker...09/1974

from U.S. National Archives

    Kansas State University has done a wonderful job of doing just this. If you drive along I-70 just south of Manhattan, Kansas, there is almost 3500 hectares of tallgrass prairie known as the Konza Prairie. KSU does do research on this land, but it is left to flourish in all it's natural beauty. If you take exit 313 north to Manhattan off of I-70 there is a lookout spot for travelers. You can see for miles, and each season shows a different beauty on the prairie.

Galt Irrigation Canal System (Southern Alberta Scenes)

from Galt Museum & Archives on The Commons

  • Bernie said:
    This is something I have done in my lifetime. Before sprinkler systems came into use, irrigation was done by diverting water from ditches dug along the field contours and directing water flow by digging small trenches here and there. The ditches were dug by a tractor drawn plow and filled back in before harvesting or hay cutting. I still remember how to move and place that canvas dam.
