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.
