National Irrigation Transforms Desert Into Productive Ag ricultural Land. The farmers of the United States will be interested in an article lately published over the signatue cf C. J. filancbard, Statistician of the United States Reclamation Service, showing tbe fastness of the Government irri gation projects now being built under the provisions of the. National Reclamation Act for ths purpose of making new farms for tbe rapidly growiug n a tuber of American farmers. Mr. Blancbard in bis artiole enumerates a long list of projects actually nnder construction, and another list held in abeyance awaiting tbe time when tbe condition of tbe reclamation fond will permit their construction. Ee shows that the 25 projects now onder construction, when folly developed, will add to the crop producing area of tbe United States 3,198,000 acres, or a cultivated area equal to the total acreage de ! voted to agricultural crops in Con necticut, New Hampshire, Massa chusetts and Florida. Three of tbefe 25 projeota are practically completed; sis more will be in servioe this Summer. Work is progressing! all of them, and.their early completion may be considered absolutely sore. Thirteen additional projects held in ' abeyance have an even greater area j than those now nnder construction, and there are in the west many more millions of acres with water.available for irrigation great field for f ortbsr agricultural development, comprising one of oar moet valuable resources in view of the rapid increase in popu ! lation and tbe necessity of continued increase of agricultural production. I The National Reclamation Act pro j Tides that money received from sales of publio lands in certain Western States and Territories shall be 1 plaoed in revolving fond that is being used to build irrigation sys tems in tbe State wbion provide it Tbe law wisely provides for tbe re turn of the money to tbe National Treasury by tbe lands benefitted when it becomes available for nse in far ther irrigation construction. The addition of these millions of acres to the agricultural lands of the country is of interest not alone to tbe Weit, but to the entire United States, be cause of the importance of continued agricultural expansion. It is of in terest to the farmers because it gives to their sons an opportunity of obtain ing new lands ; it is of interest to the business men because it means oppor tunities or new business; it is of in terest to manufacturers oeoause it means a new demand for their pro ducts. The enactment of the law under which this treat reclamation work is going on is very largely due to the National Irrigation Congress, the fifteenth ses-don of which will be held In Sacramento, California, September 2-7 next. This promises to be one of the moot widely represented Con gresses ever held .n this country, both because of the widespread interest in this new national irrigation policy, aud because of the widespread inter est io national forestry, which takes equal prominence in the annual meeting of this body.
