Still more money most lie set aside to complete tbeee opening project.

Some entbuaiatt baa aald that "if work la carried out aa con templated today, an area of deaeit mi (I gemi-prodiiotlve land two-flftha as large aa the present cultivated area of tbe United Htutei will be reclaimed. The total expends of this work will be $1,500,000,000. and tbe estimated I value of the laud biought under water if:i,(i0O.0U0,000, providing bomeaforrj, 000.000 farmers." lbere is enoueh in tbe future of this work at any rate to make it a drowning gloiy. With tbe revolving fund virtually a continuous chain Rclienie, all tbe money paid out for projects muht tlow hack, over ana ovor bkbIu, in the payment for water rights. Some of this money will not be re turned in tbe first 10 yeais, for tbore will douhtleHS be settlers that will Be come tired of farming, or for various reasons will bo unsuccessful in tbeli II ret ollorts and default But it will all come back in time for eventually titlo to every foot of tbo reolaimed land and every water right will rest iu gome one. lbns the reolimstlou work need never end until every feas ible project baa been carried out. Ibo total acreage that it was thought could be reclaimed bas di iiiiuiHhod somewhat through the dis covery by the reclamation engineers that some tentative projects that seemed favorablo buve proven not feimiblo, eithor because of poor soil or cost ol taking water to the land. The average value of irrigated laud in the United States ia placed by ex pert at 817 an acre. The value of the IhiuI Us he reclaimed under tbe first '': projects theiefore, will be 1142, :i:i", loo. I'ho averago annual inoome f r mi irrigated land in tbe west has i if ii placed at -." an acre which, by tii ) wiy, if correct, would give (.be l i i I i fur greater value than 117.
