TURNING The RANCHES INTO FARMS
An Object Lesson in the Value OF Reclamation Law Shown
in Belle Fourchc Project

No better object lesson of the value
OF the reclamation law as a promoter
OF substantial and permanent progress
and development is required than that
afforded by the transformation which
within a year has taken place in the
valley of the Belle Fourche river in
South Dakota Until year ago last
spring the wisest inhabitant of that
section would never have presumed to
predict in the smallest degree the
startling changes which have occurred
since the institution of the great work
of reclamation by the government.
Up to that time agriculture had al
ways been subordinated to cattle
raising. Belle Fourche was rather
proud of the fact that as yet the pic
turesque cowboy still frequented the
vast range which surrounded the town
and that during the annual roundup
there was no night in Belle Fomche.
The farmer who plowed was the ex-
ception. The average farm was a
square mile fenced and a township of
government land adjacent. Fruit and
vegetables, butter and eggs We're new
er raised in sufficient quantities to sup
ply the local demand Belle Fourche's
chief claim to distinction was that she
shipped more range cattle every year
than any other point in the United
States.
Passing of the Big Ranch.
The knell of the big ranch, with it's
broad acres untitled, has been sounded
in the valley. A new era is dawning;
an era of small farm units intensiveIy
cultivated, of compact rural settle
ments with improved schools and
churches and with the Injuries and
ref1nements of the town replacing the
isolation of the rural farmhouse. The
farm units are 40, 80 and 16O acres,
the lesser areas being located near the
towns.
Belle Fourche has doubled in popu-
lation in the last two years. At no
time has there been a sufficient num-
Der of houses to accommodate the
newcomers. An electric line is built
to connect the valley with Deadwood,
opening up the rich market of the
Black Hills mineral zone The Chica-
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad is
being extended from Chamberlain
westward to tap this rich agricultural
The Belle Fourche project contem-
plates the irrigation of about $4,000
acres of land lying northeast of the
Black Hills, in Butte and Meade coun-
ties, S. D. These lands are tributary
to the Chicago & Northwestern and
Burlington & Missouri railroads. The

just below the mouth OF Dry creek,

sixty feet deep, with water surface
of nearly 5000 acres, when full. This
dam, when completed, will be one of
the largest earth entertainments in the
United States, being 100 feet high in
the highest place, nearly one mile
long, with a top width of twenty feet,
and will be paved with stone riprap
The reservoir will be filled by means

river and heading below the town of
Belle Fourche. The lands to be irri-
gated lie on both sides of the river
and extend east to Willow creek.
The acreage irrigahle on the north
side is approximately $4,000. of which
10000 is public land and $4,000 in pri-
vate ownership: that on the south
side is about 10000 acres, of which all
except loo acres is private land.
The length of the main supply canal
will be GAS miles. 1t will have bot
tom width of 40 feet and capacity of
,635 section feet A lateral from this
canal will reclaim about 1000 acres
of land along the river above the res
ervoir. From the reservoir two dis
tributing canals, each about forty
miles long, will be constructed The
larger canal Will run in northerly
and easterly direction, irrigating
about $4,000 acres of land on the north
side of the river between the reser.
voir and Willow creek divide. A canal
which will leave the reservoir on the
west side of Owl creek will irrigate
some 1000 acres on lower Owl creek.
emptying the stored water into the
river below the point where another
diversion is made to irrigate some To-
600 acres OF frst-class land on the
south side of the river in the vicinity
of Vale and Empire. BY making sec
ond diversion here the return water
from the lands irrigated above may
be used.
The soil is free from alllali and lit
tie drainage will be necessary. The
crops that can best be raised are
small grains, such as oats, wheat, rye
and barley, and fruits. such as apples,
pears, plums, cherries and small
fruits, Sugar beets would no doubt
prove a profitable crop if factory
for making sugar were located in the
neighborhood. Potatoes can be raised
on the south side, where the soil con-
tains more sand The main crop, how
ever, will he hay, both native and al
faifa, for which there is great demand
as winter feed for cattle and sheep
that have the large range to feed on
during the summer months Alfalfa
will average, it is said, at least five
tons to the acre, worth from $4 to SIS
a ton in the stack. The demand for
farm and garden products is great in
this part of the state on account Of
its proximity to the mining region of
the Black Hills. The farm unit rec
commended under this project is 80
acres, which will be reduced to 40
acres within three miles of towns or
proposed towns.
This project has been approved by
the secretary of the interior, who has
set aside S2100,000 for it's construc-
ton. Water users will be required to
pay S32 an acre in ten annual install
ments, which sum includes mainte-
nance and operation for ten years.
