The public lands of the United States are
numbered by the thousands of square miles.
a large part of the best of them have al
ready been taken up by settlers, but there
is yet vast area for enterprising men of
the future. One Of the most interesting
studies in America to-day is as to these
lands and their possibilities In the far
future the great deserts of Colorado,
Arizona, New Mexico, and other western
states will probably be brought under culti-
walton. The rivers and lagoons of Florida
and Louisiana will be diked. and what is
now a swamp will become richer country
than Holland. One of the ablest authori-
ties on the land question of to-day is the
Hon. Lewis A. Croft, who was commits
sioner of the land Office during the first
three years Of President Harrison's admin
istration. A resident of Nebraska, he
knows the great west like a book, and as
commissioner of the land Office he investi-
gated all questions concerning our public
lands and their possibilities Said he to me
in response TO my request for some infor-
nation as to our lands:
1.-THE question of our public lands is one
little known to the people. We have an
immense country, and its total area is about
100000 square miles. If you viii take
away the surface of the lakes you will lind
that we have a land area of :, 295, 600, 0OO
acres If the whole was divided up equally
among our present people, every family in
the United States would have more than a
160-acre farm, and our title is such that it
will stand uncontested in the great record

heavy. There is large area Of
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN
that is now marked 'arid;' that is. the na-I
tural water supply is insufficient to render
the soil tillable and productive. Much
thought has been given TO the question of
retaining these lands, aud many schemes
have been devised. Various experiments
have been made, some with success Pri-
vate corporations and individuals have by
artificial means rendered arabic very con-
siderable tracts of land which before were
practically valueless for agriculture. One
plan ls the boring of artesan wells, the
success OF which depends upon the volume
OF water flowing from them. Another is
the construction of large reservoirs in
which the surplus Of water falls during the
rainy season may be stored, aud in dry
weather conducted over the land by means
OF bitches. At some points, where great
natural basins may be utilized, these reser-
volrs can be provided at a moderate outlay:
IN other cases the expense would be large
In many instances mountain streams. fed
by springs, have been diverted into artifi-
clal channels and carried over considerable
tracts of arid land
More has been done in the way of frri-
gation in California than in any other state
or territory. That it does pay there can be
no question. Large areas which, in their
arid condition, could not be sold for more
than from 81 TO 50 an acre, have been made
in the highest degree productive, and are
worth today from $500 TO 81, $50 per acre
Figures clearly show that irrigation has
added millions upon millions of dollars TO
the wealth Of California. In some places
there are complete Waterworks establish
ments, owned by corporations, which, by
dltches and conoults, supply water TO the
surrounding region at an average cost of
only from Sl.25 to Sl.50 each acre per wear.
For orchards, vineyards and grain lands
this is not great cost. Irrigation is max,
ing thousands of men rich. AS nearly as
can be ascertained, the irrigated lands of
California comprise 3,5O00G0 acres. Irri-
cation has cost $50 600, COO, but it has in
