FEDERAL IRRIGATION INQUIRY

f. Dana DUrand, director of the
persons possessing frst-hand knowl-
edge of the subject of irrigation with
a view to devising a schedule of in
quiries which will elicit adequate in
formation concerning the extent and
effect of that system of reclaiming
land for the purpose of agriculture.
This census or investigation was or
dered by congress In act amending
the census law passed last February.
Under its provisions the director is
ordered to ascertain the area of ir-
rigated lands in the arid regions of
the country; whether such irrigation
Is carried on under state or federal
lands, including water rights, are OBJ
tainable; the character and value of
crops produced upon them; the
amount of water used for an acre; the
situation of the various irrigation en-
terprises, together with description
of their methods of construction, their
physical conditions and the amount Of
capital invested therein.
In taking the agricultural census,
the field work for which has Just been
completed, the census office furnished
the enumerators with supplementary
schedule relating to irrigation. These
questions, however, did not develop
all the information asked by congress,
and nine different schedules are being
prepared for special agents of the
census bureau. In connection with
these new schedules the director is
asking the advice of government and
state officials, corporations, experts
and the special agents themselves,
who have been selected because OF
their special fitness to do the work.
