JOSEPH ELL, fading MarnM mnd Mfn Intreetlng Description of the Growth of This Important Phase of Desert Reclamation and Cultivation. The progress In agriculture In the arid states and territories during the decade ending with 1899 Is shown in the report just published by the Di vision of Agriculture of the Twelfth Census. As this progress Is attribu table largely to irrigation, the sta tistics relating thereto are of general interest. The number of Irrigators - in the United States in 1899, nOt including irrigators of rice, was 108,218, -an in crease in ten years of 99.9 per cent. The area irrigated was 7,539,545 acres an increase of 107.6 per cent. Of this area, 5,944,412 acres were in crops, 1,095,133 acres in pasture and un matured crops. The cost of irrigation systems in operation, exclusive of those on rice plantations, was $G7, 770,942, while the value of the irrigat ed crops was $8C,860,491. The total length, of all the main ditches in. the arid and semi-arid states and territories was 44,149 miles. Average, of 71 Acres. The average number of irrigated acres in farms in arid states and tei- ritorles was 71; the average value of irrigated land per acre, $42.53; the average value of crops produced on irrigated land, $14.81; the average first cost of water, $7.80; the average annual cost of maintenance, $0.38. Of the 5,711,965 acres in crops, hay and forage occupied 3,665,654, or 64.2 per cent; cereals, 1,399,709, or 24.5 per cent; vegetables, 168,432, or 2.9 per cent; orchard fruits, 251,289, or 4.4 per cent; other crops, 226,881, or 4.0 per cent. The value of the hay and forage was $34,834,966; cereals, $14, 338,326; vegetables, $9,627,491; or chard fruits, $8,920,409; other crops, including sub-tropical fruits, grapes, flowers, plants, sugar beets, etc., $16, '721,246. Irrigators In Oregon. In Oregon the number of irrigators Increased from 3,150 In 1899 to 4.63C in 1899, or 47.2 per cent, and the unm ber of acres irrigated from 17 1, 944 to 388.310. or 118.2 ner cent. The ditches In operation in 1899 had a length of 2,283 miles, cost $1,838,782, and irrigated 388,111 acres. There wore 199 acres Irrigated from wellb. The irrigated area in crops was 290, 256 ares, yielding products valued at $3,0Q2,92o. The area irrigated in pasture and immatured crops was 98, 054 acres. Statistics Being Compiled. Shortly after sending tho Irrigation bill to tho president, congress passed a resolution authorizing the director of the census to compile statistics relating to Irrigation for the crop year oi 1902. With the data now assem- bled, this work will bo comparative Jy simrle, most of it being done by correspondence. To secure this in formation inquiries will soon be sent out "to Irrigators throughout the United States. The co-operation of those interested In irrigation Is earn estly solicited for upon their prompt! response will depend very largely tne value or these statistics. This is in part a supplementary work, the ro suits of which will be utilized in the! work soon to be undertaken by the Department of the Interior under thw provisions of the irrigation bill. breeders throughout tho state. It car ries $10,000 In cash premiums on live stock and agricultural products.

A line of work recently taken up by the bureau of forestry, and for the first time receiving adequate atten tion in the United States, Is the study of tho tendency of natural forests to extend over the land devoid of .forest growth. This tendency has been no ticed in many parts of tho country, but has never been studied with a view of controlling It for practical use, or assisting It where desirable. A field party from the bureau Is now Investigating the reproduction of white pine on pastures and aban doned lands in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, to learn the condl tions under which reproduction takes place. The bureau Is making this In vestlgatlon In order to bo able to give owners of such lands directions as to the best methods of handling them, with a view of securing a stand of pine by natural seeding. A field party of six men is studying the same problem in Oklahoma, in connection with the hardwood growth which composes the timber belts of that region. It haB been, found in cer tain places in the Middle West that natural forest belts have extended up streams as much as two miles, Jn the last 25 years. Particular attention will be paid to devise methods for extending and improving tho forest growth of the Wichita forest reserve where at present the" stand of timber consists only of a, scattering growth Premium List Out.
