1T IS INTERESTING to occasion
ally take birds eye view of what
is happening on irrigation develop
ment in the state.
The Montana department of agri-
culture reports gradual increase in
irrigated acres for the past 20 years.
In 1890, about 1,S75, 900 acres of land
were in irrigated crops. This figure
remained about the same until 1888
when it started to climb upward.
BY 1949 approximately 3,750,O00
acres were reported.
How has this come about? Mon
tana is a relatively new country
from the standpoint of development.
In recent years, estimates have been
made which show a possibility of
eventually irrigating over a million
more acres of land in Montana by
building new projects. This means it
is possible to double the irrigated
area of the state when possible ex-
pansion of present projects are add
ed to the potential. This means we
may some day expect as much as
100000 or 100000 acres of irri-
gated land in the state This figure
could go as high as 100000 acres.
Each year more new land is COM
ing under irrigation. For example,
since July, 1919, the state water CON
servation board has completed seven
new projects which furnish water
for 1900 acres of new land, and sup
Elemental water for 1920 acres of
land. Since the board was created
in 1884, it has constructed about 20
major small projects and over 15C
! minor projects which have benefited

In Irrigation Development

over 100000 acres of land in the
state. Some acreage has been brought
under irrigation in recent years by
the bureau of reclamation. The fed
eral reclamation bureau will develop
most of the larger projects in the
future as they have in the past.
Through the years there has been
a constant increase of irrigated acre
age by individual and group enter
prise. Small bitches, diversion dams,
storage dams, pumping projects and
sprinkler irrigation in recent years
have all been used by individuals
and small groups to bring irrigation
to more land. Various plans by fed
eral and state agencies have been
devised and put into operation to
assist and stimulate individual and
small groups to proceed with this
development. All of these things
have resulted in constant gain for
irrigation in the state.
We are now approaching new
era in the development of irrigation.
It is included in vast program of
basin wide development. All of the
phases of this program have not as
yet been tied down. Public opinion
has been aroused. The machine has
been set up and is now in operation.
Many changes may be made in this
machine, which is working in basin
development. Mistakes will be made
as they have been in the past.
Regardless of what may happen
irrigation will continue to be an i'm.
portant part of these basin develop.
ment plans. To Montana a very i'm
portant part 1t will furnish the 1anC
for new homes for youth in the flu
ture. It will create a new frontie
for the livestock industry. It vii
furnish opportunity for new bushes
in the towns of the state.
The value of irrigation is mucl
discussed subject. It has its pros an
cons, but it takes only one dry sea
son to demonstrate the benefits an
gather in lot of new enthusiast
This year its value was demonstra-
ed in several parts of Montana.
Citizens of the state should tax
an interest, become informed an
help to guide irrigation developmel
on sound basis.
