IN '99 THERE WERE 329 UMA TILLA IRRIGATED FARMS. The Cost to Irrigate Those Farms Was $36,602 Value of Crops, $118, 923 Cost Only $7.11 Per Acre to Bring Under Irrigation, nelninn V. Kuykcndall, of Eugene, rnnrpRfintinc tho federal census uc partment. Is in the city, tho guest nf thn Hotel St. Georce. Ho Is dlrectlv representing tho bureau of wenlth, debt nnd tnxatlon, nnd Is collecting statistics as to the reeeints. expenditures. assessed values, tax rates, resources and lia bilities of counties and municipalities in this state. This Is tho third county he has visited on this mission, tho others being Baker nnd Union. Ho is also collecting irrigation statistics, and from them some very Interesting facts nre gleaned. In 1S39 thero were in the stnto 4,fi3G Irrigated farms of greater or less ex tent, of which 329 were In Umatilla county. This county showed an in crease In tho number nf Irrigated farms from 1889 to 1899 of 122.3 per cent. In 1899 there were in the state 3SS.310 Irrigated acres, of which G.16S were In Umatilla county. The cost of the ditches In opera tion In the state In 1899 was $1,838, 782. The ditches in operation in Umatilla county in that 'year cost $30,C02. The value of tho crops pro duced that year in the entire state from irrigated ground in Umatilla county that year was $118,923, divid ed as follows: hay nnd forage, $59, 289; small fruits, $23,317; orchard fruits. $S,-lu0: vegetables, $20,296; cereals, $3,63(1; other crops, $3,929. Definite nnd reliable statistics as to the Increase In length of ditches, cost, area Irrigated and value of products during the pa3t four years cannot yet be had, nnd will not he obtaina ble until about July 1 noxt. when they will bo sent out from the fed oral census department. Tho collec tion of such information is in progress now. A very Interesting bit of informa tion in this connection is that the average original cost per aero of bringing tho land under water that was Irrigated In this county in 1899 wns only $7.11. This being tho orig inal cost merely, no item of repairs or running expenses being consider ed. The same year 1SU9 the avor ago value per acre of the products from the irrigated lands In this coun ty was $23, tho balance being nearly three to one on tho profit sldo of the account. One thing that should not bo for gotten is that tho average cost per acre ror getting land under water in Oregon is somewhat less than tho avorago cost per aero throughout tho entire United States. This is be cause of tho number and proximity of tho streams flowing through tho semi-arid regions, which are cut up Into comparatively small districts by the numerous mountain ranges from which tho streams flow. On UiIb ac count the main ditches are usually much shorter than ditches of tho same capacity In almost any other Ir rigated portion of the United States. The loss of water from evaporation nnd seepage is much less.
