after a 'comprehensive land and
water survey. ,
It said there are 5,325,000 acres
of cropland that could he classed
as irrigable, plus 25 million acres
of range and pasture lands.
There isn't enough water avail
able for all of that land, and it
wouldn't pay to irrigate a lot of it
The estimate that the amount
of irrigated land will be doubled
in the next half century is based
on assumptions that present
sources of water will remain avail
able, that state and federal water
policies won't change, and that the
demand for food will shove farm
prices high enough to make irri
gation prolitable.
The Willamette valley, which
now has 80,193 acres of irrigated
land, is due for the biggest ex
pansion of any region. The station
estimated that 702,1100 more acres
in the valley will be irrigated in
thm itovt W tcnn.
rresem toiais ior omer regions,
with the estimated amounts to be
added in the 30-year period, are:
Coastal counties, 10.050 and 39,-
420: Columbia Basin, 93,842 and
337.750; Blue Mountains. 260,003
and 143,750; South Central Area,
854,9.9 and 108,920; and Southern
Oregon, 75,658 and 66.5.10.
"Preliminary calculations," the
report says, "indicated there is
enough water in sjght to meet the
requirements of the estimated irri
gable land by areas as well as the
total water need for the state.
"Considerable development
through storage and other means
will be needed, however, if this
water is available for irrigated ag-
