was constructed in 1906 and water
for the entire area was available in
1910. All of these major projects
were among the earliest efforts of
the federal reclamation program.
Benefit Economy
The above described federal irri-
CATION developments, together with
lands irrigated by individual, group
and state efforts, have been an i'm
portant factor in the economic de-
velopment of the region. Cities and
towns like Billings, Chinook, Fair
field, Glasgow, Malta and Sidney in
Montana and Cody, Greybull, Lowell,
Powell, Sheridan and Worland in
northern Wyoming owe much of
their growth and position to the pro-
ductivity and extended benefits of
irrigated agriculture.
The drouth years of the 1905
brought a new recognition of the
stabilizing influence of irrigated
agriculture in a semi-arid region. In
areas of uncertain rainfall, irriga-
ton stabilizes production of both

crops and livestock. When severe
drouth occurs, such as in 1886, irriga-
ton goes long way toward insuring
feed production and, thereby, greater
stability in livestock production.
For example, 6S percent of the
agricultural production in Montana
came from irrigated lands in 1886 all
though only SO percent of the har-
vested acres were irrigated last year.
Great Importance attaches to such
an assured production base in main
tanning foundation livestock when
livestock numbers must be reduced
and in contributing to public rev.
enues for the support of local gov
eminent when many property own
ers may have insufficient income to
meet their tax obligations.
Conservation Act
The great drouth brought the
enactment of the Great Plains Water
Conservation and Utilization act in
1899 which provided for the de-
velopment of irrigation projects that
could provide maximum Of stabili-

ture. Known popularity as the
Wheeler-C Case act, this legislation
was the basis for development of
such irrigation projects as the Buff
falo Rapids in Montana and the Eden
Valley in Wyoming.
Another important development
of the drouth period was the estab-
Ishment of the Montana Water Con-
servation board in 1884. This agency
compliments the federal program of
reclamation by building projects
which fall in that gap between what
is too large for private effort and
too small to be undertaken by the
Bureau of Reclamation.
Federal irrigation development be-
gan as single-purpose program. The
providing of water for arid and semi
arid lands was the sole purpose of
the program. It became evident
rather early in the history of federal
reclamation that some projects of
fered opportunities for benefits other
than irrigation. The result was a
shift in the direction of authorizing
and building projects as multiple
purpose" or ''multiple-use" develop
ments.
Multiple Purpose Projects
Some projects were judged to have
one or more such values as flood
control, hydro-electric power genera
ton, recreation, fish and wildlife,
municipal water and pollution abate-
ment in addition to providing irriga-
ton facilities. Now, few irrigation
projects are authorized and con-
structed without the inclusion of
other uses of water.
Irrigation has become one segment
in public programs for the develop
ment of western river basins. It
seems logical to assume that increas-
ing emphasis will be placed upon the
complete development of the land
and water resources of the west in
view Of rapidly growing popula-
ton and the end of the frontier Of
unexpected public lands.
Montana and northern Wyoming
are in the midst of major river basin
development programs. About five
sixths of Montana is included in the
Missouri Basin as is northern Wyo-
ming through the Yellowstone and
its tributaries. The other one-sixth
of Montana is included in the Column
bia Basin.
Several major developments are
already under way. In Montana, Can
yon Ferry dam on the Missouri river
and Hungry Horse dam on the North
Fork of the Flathead river are I'M
der construction. The Boysen dam
has been completed in Wyoming and
is now in operation.
Fifty years of federal land rec
lamation have brought the, region
which includes Montana and north
ern Wyoming to the point where
many people feel that the period Of
greatest growth and development
will be found in the immediate
future. The other water uses asso.
ciated with irrigation development
promise substantial industrial de-
velopment as well as new agricuI
tural growth.
The region has great natural re
sources and an unrea1ized capacity
to contribute to the needs of a grow
ing nation. The golden anniversar.
of federal irrigation may be, il

Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1952-06-15

signed the 4 eQeral Reclamation act
on June IL, 1902, his action marked
an end and beginning. It ended
long period Of disagreement as to
whether irrigation development
could best be carried on by individ-
uals, the states or the federal gov
eminent.
The first federal legislation was
the Desert Land act of 1877 which
was designed to encourage Individual
irrigation of western lands. The act
was not successful in building up
family operated irrigated farms and
the advocates of development by the
states came to the fore. Congress
passed the Carey act in 1894 which
provided that the federal govern
ment could donate to each of the II
western states not to exceed 1,000,-
600 acres of land each.
The states were to cause the lands
to be settled, irrigated and cultivated.
The Carey act did not fulfill the
goals set for it and the group which
had fought throughout the years for
a program Of federal reclamation
finally won out. The result was the
passage by congress Of the Reclama-
ton act of 1902. The golden anniver-
sary of this legislation is being cele-
brated throughout the semi-arid west
this month.
Successes and Failures
Federal land reclamation has
achieved many successes, and some
failures. The legislation has been
changed several times to correct seri-
GUS defects and to make government
action fit the changing times. In its
early days, the federal program Of
land reclamation was almost ruined
by the widespread speculation which
became a part of every new irriga-
ton development. The bona-fide
farm settler on federal irrigation
projects is protected now by anti
speculation laws.
Another instance Of change has to
do with the period in which project
settlers are to repay the govern
ment for the construction costs Of
irrigation development. It has beer
heightened from 10 years in 1902 tt
20 years in 1914 and 40 years in 1925
Present policy also provides for de
ve1opment period preceding the Al
years of repayment. This action rec
ognizes the troublesome lag involved
in bringing new irrigated lands int
full production.
