More Acres Watered
Continued From Page y

Jr. ranch made it possible to bring
100 acres under irrigation.
These are only a few of the ex-
amples of the way in which farmers
added new land to establish irriga-
ton systems through the develop
ment of their conservation plans.
There are many more.
New Developments
Equally interesting is the develop
ment of the new irrigation systems
that has taken place. They are
found where the technicians' inven-
tory of the land and water resources
showed them to be practical, wheth-
er on a farm already under irriga-
ton or on one which had previously
been all dryland.
Some of these new irrigation de-
velopments pump the water from
streams. Others depend on small,
private storage reservoirs. Many
use small diversion dams. And four
get their irrigation water from wells.
The statistics hint at the interest
ing story behind them. They show
that these things have been done
on the irrigated land where the
technicians have helped develop
and improve irrigation systems; 229
small storage dams were built, 588
small diversions were put in
streams, 1874 pumps were installed,
1,514 irrigation structures were
placed, and GIT miles of 1aterals and
bitches and 2 miles of siphons and
fumes were built.
Among those who have developed
new water supply sources in order
to irrigate land are j. w. Duncan
and Carl Benward in the Wayne
creek grazing district. They brought
80 acres under irrigation by pump
ing water from the creek.
Pump from Wells
Henry Larson near C~artervi1le, in
Rosebud county, is one of the few
who pump irrigation water from
wells.
Bert Murphy near Chinook is one
who already had irrigation estab-
lished or his farm. He has also put
another piece of land under irriga-
ton, with the technicians' aid. The
water for this land is pumped from
the Milk river. Water for the rest
of his land is supplied by the irriga-
ton district.
Irrigation development that has
resulted from the conservation pro-
grams in the soil conservation dis
tricts could not be complete without
mention of the more than AZ, 500
acres of water-spreading that the
technicians have helped Montana
farmers and ranchers develop. This
IS also a form of irrigation, al
though irregular. 1t makes use OF
runoff from snow and heavy rains
by diverting it into a system of
bikes and bitches that spreads il
over hayland and pasture.
Thus, the activities of farmers and
ranchers, and the Soil Conservation
service technicians helping them, in
Montana soil conservation and graz
ing districts have brought water tc
1000 acres. Nearly $1,000 acres are
under regular, dependable irriga-
