Book Description
Excerpt from Irrigation Works: Constructed by the United States Government Agriculture by irrigation is one of the oldest occupations of civilized man. Various parts of the world show evidences that irrigation was practised long before any historical record was kept. The remains of prehistoric irrigation works have been identified and extensively traced in southern Arizona along the Salt River and in parts of New Mexico and California. American Irrigation was left entirely to private and corporate. enterprise until the passage, in 1902, of the National Reclamation Act, which has been amended and modified from time to time by subsequent acts. The original reclamation act provided for the segregation of the receipts from the sales of public lands in the sixteen Western States and Territories into a special fund to be known as the Reclamation Fund and to be available for the survey, construction, and operation of reclamation projects in those States. It provided that the cost of those projects should be returned to the Reclamation Fund by the owners of private land or entry-men on public land in ten annual installments, no requirement of interest being made. A subsequent act in 1914 extended this time to twenty years. The original act required the expenditure of the major portion of the funds in the States in which it had been received. Under this act about one hundred million dollars have been expended in construction, and twenty-five projects are now in operation and prepared to deliver water to about one million five hundred thousand acres of land, about two-thirds of which was actually irrigated in 1916. The projects undertaken, unlike the early simple diversions upon valleys adjacent to the head works, involved, on the contrary, expensive storage works, high diversion dams, difficult tunnels, or long, expensive canal work upon side hills, where large investment was necessary before any water was brought to the land.

Book Description
Excerpt from Irrigation of Forage Crops in Eastern United States An adequate and reliable supply of good-quality water (71) must be available for an irrigation system. Even though there may be a critical need for irrigation, many farmers will not be able to irrigate. With the increase in use of available water by domestic and industrial consumers, the competition for available water supplies will become more critical in the future (49, Before purchasing an irrigation system farmers must determine if available water sources are sufficient to meet their irrigation requirements at the time water is needed.

Book Description
Excerpt from Irrigation in the North Atlantic States Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report on Irrigation in the North Atlantic States, by Aug. J. Bowie, r., of the Irrigation and Drainage Investigations of this Office. This report shows that for market gardens and for meadows irrigation in humid sections has proven profitable, but it has not yet been practiced in the raising of general farm crops. The cost of securing water supplies in the East far exceeds that in the arid regions, although water is much more plentiful. This suggests that it may be possible to so reduce the cost of water as to render irrigation profitable for many crops which will not repay the expense now incurred. The descriptions of irrigation practice contained in this report should be suggestive to many who are now raising truck without the aid of irrigation, and it is therefore rec ommended that the report be published as a bulletin of this Office.
