NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

The National H~omeseeker submits
the following. with something over
seven million acres irrigated in the
United States, which includes a large
number of irrigation systems and
dams, all built by private capital, the
question arises why cannot an addi-
tional seven million acres or an addi-
twenty million acres of arid land be
transformed by private capital into
productive irrigated farms2 In other
words, why should 1t be necessary TO
ask any government assistance for the
development Of the Westp 1t is ad-
mitted that irrigation pays-that larger
better and surer crops can be raised
under 1t than dependence upon the ele-
ments, and that irrigated communities
are, as a rule, very prosperous ones
Nor can 1t be said that any project is
really too large or requires too much
capital for private enterprise to under
take, provided it offers an assured
profit or a certain income on the in
yestment. Why, then, will not the
arid states have a gradual and healthy
development through the continued es-
Enlistment Of irrigation systems and
the building of irrigation dams by pri-
vate capital seeking investment
The answe is, that no great irriga-
ton system which has been con-
structed as an investment for private
capital and for the purpose of selling
water to farmers in order to earn a
permanent interest on that capital, has
been successful or profitable as an in
vestment. This has been the history
in this country and in India, where
years ago, the government assumed
control of all the large irrigation works.
Cooperative companies, where the
shares in the water companies are
held by the owners Of irrigated lands,
and the water system is operated as an
adjunct TO the cultivation of those
lands, the ownership of both land and
water being thus united, have been al
most universally successful and profit
able to the owners But the great
irrigation works necessary to be built
to utilize the waters that now I'll to
waste in the floods or the rivers of the
west, or to reclaim the arid public
lands, require too large an investment,
and must be built on too large a scale
for the cooperative enterprise. of the
land owners or settlers themselves.
Hence, they must be built by the gov
eminent, If at all.
