1t is no exaggeration to say that the
average value Of land supplied with water
is at least ten times that Of lands that
cannot be irrigated. In some cases it is
three or four times as much but the pro-
portion stated is certainly conservative.
The average cost an acre for water ia
Colorado does not exceed $40, and the
average value Of land without water is
not over $40 more. Here, then, is a total
value OF $40, yet when the water and
land have been combindi the value
jumps dt once to 800 and more Hun
