DEVELOPMENT OF
SCIENTIFIC IRRIGATION
BY HON. ALvA ADAMS
Written for the Railroad Red Book

"Thus saith the Lord, make this
valley full of bitches. - Kings,
3-16.
The business of digging irriga-
ing bitches and reservoirs will not
be ended so long as a single
inch of mountain water runs un-
utilized to the sea. Those who
to-day neglect to act because they
think all waters are over appro-
priated will in ten years feel as
foolish as do some of us who,
upon the same plea, neglected
twenty years ago to take out
water rights. In this case the
stupidity of the fathers have been
the fortune of the children.
1t is well for this and coming gene
rations that past generations had
not the genius to see, or the cour-
age to grasp, their opportunities.
Less than three million acres
are irrigated in Colorado. No
like area in the world produces
more. The statistics of production
and gardens read like the pros
pectus of seed and nursery cata-
logue. In every competing expo
sltion Colorado fruit, grain and
vegetables gather in the cups and
prizes, as the democrats gathered
in the congressman at the last
election. Yet our system of culti-
vation is far from perfect; in some
cases it is almost primitive. The
soil has not been crowded to its
capacity. The biblical injunction
to leave the corners of the fie d
unharvested has been obeyed. We
have been careless in seed, not
always wise in the use of water,
seldom generous in giving back
the richness of which the crop
las robbed the soil. These facts
Justify the statement that the
production which has amazed the
farmers of other states can be
doubled by scientific methods, by
n proper use of water, care in Sc
lecting seed, rotation of crops,
fertilization, and a knowledge of
soil and attitudes. There is no de-
mand of production that irrigation,
mountain soil, sunshine and com
mon sense cannot meet. Multiply
our present soil production by
two and think what that means.
Multiply that again by five and
you approach the ultimate possi-
bilities of Colorado's agricul-
tural and orchard possibilities.
Hydraulic engineers tell us that
the proper conservation of our
water will irrigate l4,000, 900
acres. In addition to this visible
water there are beneath every
valley in Colorado subterranean
rivers greater than those that
flow upon the surface. Here is
an unfailing supply that has never
been tapped and seldom considered
There are few pumps in the state.
In time there will be thousands,
and nature has lifted our springs
and rivers almost to the sky.
Most of our streams leave the
state perpendicular mile below
their source. These dropping
waters will supply horse power
whose magnitude only Colonel
Sellers can estimate. Here is the
power for raising the hidden wat
ers to the field. Water is a re-
source that does not exhaust or
wear out. 1t can be made to turr
myriads of wheels, lift the levers
of ten thousand pumps and then
without waste perform its greater
mission of carrying fertility tc
countless fields, orchards and
homes. The Almighty was the
engineer who laid out this mag
nificent planet. His machinery
never runs down. He planned tn,

We need not caution prospective
settlers against waterless lakes arc
rivers, as they will investigate be-
fore buying; but we do need to
utter a caution against condemn
ing all because one may be vision
ary and speculative. After Christ
there came many bogus saviors
and false prophets. To be skep--
tical and refuse to investigate is
to throw away golden opportu-
mites.
What irrigated land can do is
demonstrated in Japan, where fif-
ty million irrigated acres contrib
ute to the support of fifty mil
lion people. Egypt has twelve
million acres under cultivation up
on which twelve million people
subsist. Colorado has a better
climate than either and richer
soil than Japan. The same ratio
would make Colorado competent
to support many millions of people
We have no desire, however, to
emulate Japanese or Egyptian civ
ilization, or to accept their stand
ards of life. Our conception and
measure of human need and re-
quirement are higher and more
generous than ever touched the
ability, hope or ambition of ori-
entails. We are a free people in a
new land and predict that in Col
oradO will be developed the typ
ical American-the ideal citizen
O. the world.
The proper conservation and
development of our water and
other resources will be ample to
support in plenty, comfort and
satisfaction at least five millions
of Americans. Those who read
and need a new and better
home, we invite to come and be
part of the happy and prosperous
millions. We have a welcome for
every landless man who wants a
few acres and home of his own.
