The Cost of Irriuatinu,

The office of experiment stations,
United States, department of agricul-
ture, Washington, d. c.. will soon issut
a bulletin describing methods of pre-
pairing land for irrigation and applying
water to crops in different sections OF
the arid region of the United States
In this bulletin the methods of getting
rid of sagebush, smoothing the ground
building laterals and distributing water
over fields as developed by the expert
ence of farmers in irrigated districts
are brought together and described
The tools and implements used are il.
Illustrated, and the cost Of the work
based upon actual examples in differen,
states is given. The purpose is to af.
ford beginners a reliable guide bott
as to the cost of bringing wild LAND
under cultivation and methods bes
suited tc different soils, climates ant
| crops The facts included in this bull.
letin have been gathered by the irri.
cation Investigations of this office act.
ing in cooperation with the state ex.
pertinent stations and the state engi
neer'S office.
This bulletin brings out the fact, no
we'll understood. that the cost of pre-.
pairing land for irrigation is in many in.
stances greater than the cost of build.
ing canals and reservoirs. Detailed
! figures of the cost of checking lane
show that it varies in certain district.
! in California from $9.96@1S.OS pei
acre. This is more than twice the cos
of the canal system in the San Joaquin
valley, California, which is given ir
the report of the census bureau for19O.
as S4.99 per irrigated acre. Where the
preparing of land is contracted for tn.
cost of checking varies from 7.5O@
600 per acre. The price of preparing
land for flooding is much less, but il
So per acre in Wyoming.
