FORTY-FOUR THOUSAND MILES OF DITCH Inerease in Nebraska is 803 Per Cent in Number of Irrigators and 1,164 Per Cent in Acres Under Diteh. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—Bpecial)—The | progress in agriculture in the arid states iand territories during the decade ending | with 1899 1s sbown in the report just pub- !lished by the Division of Agriculture of the twelfth census. As this progress is ttributable largely to irrigation, the etat- istics relating thereto are of gen: terest. S The number of irrigators in the United States in 1899, not_ including irrigators of rice, was 108,315, an increase in ten years. of 990.9 per cent. The area irrigsted was 7,520,645 acres, an increase of 107.6 per cent. Of this ares 5,844,413 acres were in crops apd 1,665,133 acres in pasture and unmatured crops. The cost of irrigation systems in operation, exclusive ©f thoss on rice plantations, was $67,770,843, while the value of the (rrigated crops was §86,- 860,491 The total length of all the main ditches in the arid and semi-arid states and terri- tories was 44,149 miles. The average number of irrigated acres in farms in &rid states and territories was 71; the average value of irrigated land per scre, $42.53; the average value of crops produced on irrigated land, $1 the he aver- average first cost of water, 37. age annual cost of malntenance, 38 cents. forage occupled 3,665,864, or 64.2 per cemt; cereals, 1,899,709, or 24.5 per cent; vegeta- bles, 168,432, or 2.9 pey cent; orchard 251,289, or 4.4 per cent; other crops, 226,881, or 4.0 per cent.

Irrigators in Nebraska. In Nebrasks the number of irrigators in- creased from 314 in 1889 to 1,933 in 1899, or 8023 per cent, and the number of acres irrigated from 11,744 to 145,538, or 11643 per cent. The ditéhes in operstion in 1808 had @ length of 1,701 miles, cost §1,276,978 and irrigated 147,605 scres. There were 843 acres irrigated from wells. The frri- guted area m crops was 139736 acres, 'Ops was 18,812, acres. Y Shortly after sending the frrigation 'bill to the president congress passed & resolu- tion guthorizing the direstor of theyoensus to compile statistics relating to frrigation for the crop year of 1902. With the data now assembied, this work will be compara- tively simple, most of it befng.done by correspondence. To _secure this informa- tion inquiries will soon be gent out.to frri- gators throughout the United. States. The co-operation of those interested ip Irriga- tion s earnestly solieited, for upen thelr prompt response will depend the value of these statistics. This is in part upplementary work, the results of which will be utilized in the work soon to be undertaken by the Department of the Interior under the provisions of the irri- gation bill. ————— Fusion Represemintive Candidate.
