IRRIGATION IN NEW MEXICO.
Facts aud Figures Of Great Value 10
ltahU Settlers.

AAuuV 0cVItISs
A recent buIleting OF the Censu.
Office, giving facts and figures con.
corning irrigation in New Mexico. il
OF great value III Idaho, where lrriga
ton Is still in its infancy. We there
fore condense it as follows:
In New Mexico there are 4,l74
farms, not including those of the
Pueblo Indians, Of which 3,OS5 art
irrigated. The average size of the
irrigated farms, or more strictly oil
those portions OF farms on which irri,
CATION i, practisea, is 80 acres. Tn.
average first cost Of water right i.
$5.5S per acre, and the average cos,
OF preparing the soil for cultivation
including the purchase price of the
land, is Sl2,96 per acre. The average
present value of the irrigated land OF
the territory, including buildings, ETC.,
is reported as S5O.9S per acre, show.
ing an appart profit, less cost Of
buildings, Of 1872 A per acre. I he
average annual cost of water is Sl.54
per acre, which, deducted from the
average annual value Of products per
acre, leaves an average annua! return
of *1l26 per acre.
The invariable tendency to describe
as "irrlgated" all land to which water
has been applied within any recent
period by artificial means, land to
which bitches so far destitute OF water
has been constructed, and even land
for which water rights merely are
claimed, has placed the Census Office
under the necessity of absolutely re-
stricting itself in it. official bulletins
to land on which crops were actually
raised by the artificial application OF
water during the census year Of 1889.
In the census year ending June 30,
1890, crops were raise d by irrigation
on 9l,7i5 acres, little more than
one tenth of one per ,ent. of the co
tire area of the Territory.
The term ''irrigated farm" is used
to include only the area on which
crops we're raised by irrigation, the
nncultivated portions Of such farms
not being taken into account. With
this understanding the irrigated farms
have been classified as follows: . irri,
gated farms of GAO acres or upward,
II Of $40 to GAO acres, aud 46 of lGO
to $50 acres. These GO farms con-
tanned an average OF 3l2 acres each,
and had q total area Of 1866 acres,
over one fifth of the entire amour,
