IRRIGATION INFORMATION
WANTED.

The growing demand for water fol
irrigation purposes emphasizes the
need of more detailed information
concerning the results and method.
of irrigation from artesian and sur.
face waters. The census of lS9!
showed that the area irrigated from
wells is greatly increasing, and that
the results in most sections of the
country are eminontly satisfactory.
Approximately, 1876, 900 acres were
irrigated in that year from wells, the
value of the irrigated crops ranging
from $40 to 81, 600 per acre,
In the humid states well irrigation
is utilized to supplement- the in
sufficient rainfall during early spring
and summer. In the west tie water
pumped from wells insures the home
garden and the orchard against total
failure through rainless season.
In California, Colorado, Louisiana,
Florida and several other states, the
waters of flowing artesian wells are
successfully applied to large areas, or
are used to augment the shortage in
the streams during tho irrigating sea-
son. In order to obtain the important
facts relating to irrigation from these
sources, the census Office will soon
send out inquiries TO irrigators from
wells, whose names were reported by
the contractors. As the list is not
complete, the director asks that irri.
gators who do not receive these inqui-
ries will send their names to Mr.. l..
G. Powers, Chief Statistioian, Census
Office, Washington, ID. g., and blanks
will be mailed to them Mt once.
1t is requested that all who receive
these inquiries answer the same as
fully and accurately rs possible, and
return to the Census Office
