Vast lncreace in the Irrigated Area

- TATISTICS gathered by enumera-
~ tors taking the census of 1910
~ will show between 25O,OOO and
100000 farms under bitches in
the United States, watering more than
l6, 900, 900 acres, of total of approx
mate rs, 0OO, 900 acres of lands under
irrigation throughout the world. The
forthcoming federal report will show
also that Colorado leads in the number
of acres irrigated and that California
has the largest number of irrigators,
while the state of Washington has the
greatest percentage in the number of
water users.
Fewer than 10000 acres were under
irrigation in the United States in 1870.
The economic value of irrigation,
whether by government or private pro-
ject, has become thoroughly established
in the west.
The highest authorities do not hest
tate to say that the vast expanse once
called 1.-The Great American Desert, :"
is bound to become the home of the
highest agricultural civilization of
America.
Supplying moisture to semi-arid and
desert lands by artificial means is not a
new theory. 1t was practiced by the
Arabians, Egyptians, Assyrians and
Chinese long before the time of Solo
mon, and it has since formed part of
the agriculture in the countries border
ing on the Mediterranean Sea. Irriga-
ton has also been practiced for years
in England, France, Italy, Japan, the
Argentine, South America, Algeria
Australia, Switzerland, Belgium, Den
mark, Bohemia, India, Canada, Spain
and Scotland, the latter spreading
sewage from the cities over worm out
lanGs by means of canals. The ancient
art had its or gin in America in prehis-
toric times by the Pueblo Indians, who
inhabited portions of whae are now
New Mexico and Arizona, and their de-
cendants were still cultivating the lands
when the first Spanish colonists came
from the south, several centuries ago.
Mormons settling on the shores OF
the Great Salt Lake, in Utah, were the
first of the English-speaking people tc
make a systematic application of the
principles of irrigation in the west

art. The priests of the early missions
also practiced the art in southern Cali
fornia, where today may be seen the
ruins of the works built by the Indians.
The results obtained in Utah and
California induced settlers in other
states and territories to try the plan
and small tracts were put under bitches
in Colorado, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. The Indians in the Clearwater
country, in Idaho, We're the first to use
artificially supplied moisture in the cul-
tivation of crops.
Congress adopted the national irriga-
ton act in 1902, which year witnessed
the beginning of the construction Of
works under the control of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, the fund being de-
rived from the disposal of reclaimed
lands. The law provides that the cost
of the work is to be apportioned to the
land and refunded to the government
in ten yearly installments without in
terest.
The projects completed and upon
which the government is now at work
will, when fully developed, add 1885,
900 acres of land to the producing
area of the United States, while thir-
teen other projects, held in allegiance
until the completion of the former, will
reclaim 3,27O,OOO acres, furnishing
homes for thousands of families and
adding several hundred millions of dol
lars to the taxable property of the var
ious states. The total cost of the work
is placed at sl59, 621 900.

Upon the application of its president,
the Denver Reservoir Irrigation Com
pany, was thrown into the hands of a
receiver last Monday. The total liabil
tiles of the company are 50, 300, 600, of
which the sum of 81, 900 has been
issued in bonds, and its total assets
are about $1,000, 600. The receivership
was made necessary on account of the
failure of Chicago bond house to live
up to its agreement to purchase the
bonds of the company, according to a
statement made by the company's at
torney. The receiver, Frederick w.
Taylor, has been empowered to issue
receivers certificates to the amount of
$3.50, 900 to carry on the ditch, canal
and reservoir work until the present
difficulties are tided over. This COM
pany is one of the largest of its kind in
the state, owning several large reser-
voirs in the vicinity of Denver. 1t

1t will be found that many OF
the best counties of Iowa are los
ing population. The same thing
is true of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and many other states. These
counties are those in which there
are no large towns; in which the
population is agricultural and in
which the land was all taken UP
prior to the last census.
There are three reasons for this
tendency which shows up In the
Iowa returns, because Iowa is one
vast farm with but few cities.
These reasons are, first, land.
lordism; second, improved agri.
cultural machinery; and third, the
existence of new and cheaper
lands in the west and south and
Canada, and cheaper lands in the
east.
Twenty years ago all Iowa was
settled. There was no room for
more farmers except by dividing
farms into smaller ones. The
pressure for farms sent up the
price of land. Rents rose. The
time came when owner of a fair
sized Iowa farm could move to
town and live on his rents, and
thousands have done so. The rich
ness of the land made this easier
in Iowa and Illinois than almost
anywhere. else.
The increasing pleciousness of
land made it a thing to be. COM
peted for by the rich. Diamonds
thrown out in the street would be
picked up by rich and poor, but
would soon all be owned by the
rich. So 1t is with lands when
they reach from 5000 to $3.50 an
acre. They gravitate by their
very preciousness into the hands
of the rich. Nobody else, on the
whole, can afford to own them. So
it is with the lands of Iowa. BY
the moving of farmers to town,
and the buying up of farms by
rich people, the lands of the state
are more and more owned in the
towns and TITLED BY TEN

Iowa is a great farm. The drift
of population is from farm to city.
Iowa has not advanced in popula-
ton since 1900, though Iowa is
the riches piece of land on the
globe.
The drift to the city shows up
in Iowa, because II is more than
any other state in the union, ex-
cept North Dakota, perhaps, an ag-
ricuhural state; but the same ten
dency exists in the farming Sec
