Y HOLY CR0gs YonBgr

Denver, June 5.-The secretary Of ag
riculture has definitely classified q
$3.50 acres Of land
within the Holy Cross national forest,
situated in Eagle county on the western
slope of the continental divide. Tho
gross area of the Holy Cross forest is
605,7O0 acres of which 1927 acres are
alienated, leaving net area of 574,013
acres in the forest.
An extensive examination recently
made by the department to determine
the character of all lands within the
forest indicates that all but 1858
acres are chiefly valuable for forestry
purposes. These 42,563 acres, the see
retary says, include all lands which pos
sess possible agricultural value, or the
chief value Of which is doubtful, and
further examination will be made to
definitely determine their highest use
fulness and to list, subject to entry
under the homestead laws, all lands
found to be chiefly valuable for agfi-
culture.
1t is the opinion of department Off
cials that only small percentage Of
4 this land is cultiyable With the ex-
ception of few tracts situated along
narrow valleys near the lower bounds
ries, practically the entire forest II
much too high and rough for eultiva-
ton The valleys along the principal
streams have been settled for many
years and all desirable farm lands
taken up. OF 10,647 acres Of land
entered under the agricultural hnd
laws before the forest was established,
only some 1920 acres are said to be III
use for farm purposes Since the forest
was created, sixty-seven tracts, aggre-
eating s,5s7 acres have been opened TO
entry of which only 5S5 acres have been
cultivated.
While there is little agricultural lani
within the forest, the Holy Cross has
an important bearing upon the farm
ing industry of the western slope. it
is drained by the Grand river and sew
eral of its tributaries, which together
furnish water for the irrigation of sew
eral thousand acres of farm lands ad-
iacent to the forest. From Glenwood
Springs to the Utah line the Grand
river flows through one of the richest
agricultural belts in the state and To-
tensive use is now made of all the
normal flow. The demand for irriga-
ton water far exceeds the supply, it is
said, and the reclamation service has
made expensive improvements which
tend to closer utilization Of the Wa
ter. The entire flow Of Grand river
at low water periods is diverted and
used for power purposes in the sho-
shone division. This power is distrib-
luted over transmission lines to Denver
and other cites and towns on the east
ern slope. The Grand is also an i'm
portant tributary to the Colorado river,
one of the principal drainage systems
of the continent. Thus, the Holy Cross
forest is directly related to the protee-
ton of this important SURGE of water
supplies.
