Where 1t Don't Rain

The agriculture Of Arizona is

Census Bureau, prepared by

can irrigation. AT the present
time. however, of the ~, 26s, 900
acres of land in the Territory,
Mr.. Powers states, only 1873, 1906
acres are irrigated, or a quarter
OF one per cent. These figures,
nevertheless, show the large in
crease OF 1865 acres since
the census Of 1890, during which
decade 545 miles Of bitches were
constructed at a cost of $1,509,.
469. Mr.. Powers places the
present average value Of irri.
gated land at $50 per acre, which
he states is low estimate, or
IS, 56l, $50. This area of reclaim.
ed land is but a ridiculously
small proportion of Arizona 3
irrigabie area. The Geological
Survey estimates that 1000, 00C
additional acres of land in the
Territory can be irrigated if the
water in sight is stored and
utilized. This does not include
artesian sources, and is, more.
