Irrigation Among Indians.
General H. F. Robinson, superin
tendent of irrigation for the indians
in New Mexico, Arizona and Utah
in his annual report just made pub
tic, says that the expenditures las
fiscal year were $69,422.70.
Z One of the most important project
I forwarded during the year is tn
twelve and half mile canal tapping
/ the San Juan, called the Hogbacl
canal. When completed 1t will ful
!. nish water sufficient to irrigate 400
acres. It will be in use within tw
4 years. At present the Indians hav
800 acres under cultivation.
The extra rains this season will az
celerate to a small extent the irrigs
tion crops of the Indians.
1T will mean a great deal to tn
Navajos, who plant in draws an
slopes where they expect little wa
er to come before the season is over,
said Superintendent Robinson toda!
The Taos reservoir, completed tw
years ago has been leaking due to th
fact that rains caused the Taos mes,
adjoining the project to settle, an
repairs upon the reservoir are bein
made. There are 800 acres unde
cultivation at present, and 1900 acrt
are under ditch and available .fe
cultivation. An area Of 1000 acre
will eventually be reclaimed BY tt
Taos storage system.
