Private Eniernrise Developers Put
Many Acres of Land Into Production
Idaho Power company reported Wednesday that private­
enterprise developers in its service area transformed an addi­
tional 61,435 acres of desert into high productive crop land by
electric-pump irrigation during the 1966 season.
,
Company President T. E. Roach, describing the area s rec­
lamation growth as a “remarkable pattern making ever-
greater and beneficial use of*
our vital water resources,” i ing 10,650 horsepower next sea-
said 1966 was the second con­ ' son to lift water from both the
secutive year that additional Snake and Malheur rivers and
land put under cultivation in sprinkle potatoes on land located
the Snake River Valley totaled
more than 60,000 acres.
In 1965, he recalled, a total of
64,038 acres were developed by
high-lift pumping from rivers and
deep wells to set a new area rec­
ord.
The utility president noted that
the additional land brought into
production this year boosted the
total under electric-pump irriga­
tion in the Snake River Valley
to more than 1.1 million acres.
Government Releases Land
“Orderly continuation of the
remarkable development pattern
maintained up to now by the
area’s enterprising irrigators —
with the energetic cooperation of
lending institutions and the utili­
ties — depends largely on how
rapidly the federal government
releases land that is being held
in a sort of ‘deep freeze’,” Roach
asserted.
He said that despite the un­
availability of government-owned
land, preparation of additional
acres not subject to the freeze
already is “off to a flying start”
for the 1967 season.
Among the projects being
readied is a 9,400-acre undertak­
ing by Ore-Ida Foods, Inc., that
will rank as the largest single
electric - pump development ever
brought into production in Idaho
Power’s service area.
Future Expansion Planned
The project, known as Skyline
Farms, will operate pumps total-
VOTE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8
northwest of Ontario. Additional
pumps totaling about 3,100 horse­
power are expected to be in­
stalled for future expansion.
Roach said one of the most im­
portant— but least recognized —
benefits of the area’s “tremen­
dous” growth by irrigation pump­
ing is the safeguarding of Idaho
water.
“Private land development is
helping to quickly put our water 1
to beneficial use right here in our
own area, which means it can’t
be diverted elsewhere,” he stated.
Protects Against Diversion
“Obviously, the release of land
now being withheld by the federal
government would put still more
water to use in the Snake River
Valley, thus protecting it against
diversion.”
Other irrigation pumping bene­
fits cited by the utility president
are new jobs, new crop income,
new and expanding processing
plants, new taxes — all accomp­
lished without need for govern­
ment subsidies.
He said that since an estimated
three new jobs are created by
the development of every 100
acres of land, the nearly 61,500
acres put into production in the
1966 season opened up employ­
ment opportunities for more than
1,800 persons.
Total 40,000 Horsepower
The new pumps installed in
Idaho Power’s area this year to­
taled nearly 40.000 horsepower
and use enough electricity to sup­
ply some 10,000 homes, accord'na
to Roach.
He said that in extending ser-
! vice to the new pumps, the com­
pany invested about $1.5 million
in additional facilities, including
some 200 miles of new distribu-!
tion lines.
