Irrigation Booms
Town of Hay Springs
Dryland Farms Net
$30 Per Acre
By Harry E. Ressel and James W.
Rooney
The following excerpts were
taken from a talk presented by
Howard Dewitt of Hay Springs,
fieldman for the Utah-Idaho Su
gar company. Mr. Dewitt spoke
at the annual meeting of the
Niobrara Valley Development as
sociation at Ainsworth on Tues
day, November 9. He told of the
growth of the Mirage Flats pro
ject and of the town of Hay
Springs since the Mirage Flats
project was started.
There were originally 17 fami
lies living on this project of 11,
400 acres. One hundred ten fami
lies make their homes there now.
Land which has recently been
sold in this project was has aver
aged five times the original cost
per acre before the project was
started.
Tne annual gross income from
beets and dry beans alone is
$750,000. The average dry land
farms have returned $30 per acre
annually, including the return
from summer fallow wheat. The
average return in the irrigated
area has been $100 per acre.
Some 2,000 head of cattle are
fed out annually on this project,
on alfalfa, beet tops and corn.
This has provided an outlet close
to home for rancher’s feeder cat
tle. In addition to providing feed
for the cattle fed on the project,
Wyoming ranchers trucked large
quantities of baled alfalfa, corn
and beet tops into their dry area
in 1953 and 1954. This resulted in
additional income to the Flats op
erators.
The majority of the operators I
are young people and all of the
110 famihes except two have
children. This has created a
school problem. One consolidated
school and three fringe area
schools have been constructed.
The consolidated school has an
enrollment of 175 pupils. There
are two churches on the project
which are paid for.
The assessed valuation of the
project in 1951 was $900,000. in
1955 it was $12,000,000. This in
cr eased valuation has* made
funds available so that oiled
roads will be built in the project
without the use of additional tax
money.
Hay Springs, which is 15 miles
away, has increased in population
about 300 people since this area
has been irrigated.
The banks showed deposits of
$650,000 in 1941 and in 1955 de
posits were $2,700,000. Fourty per
cent of these deposits are credited
to the Mirage Flats project.
On the basis that 40 families
will normally support one gro
cery store, this project has creat
ed a need for at least two more
groceries in the town.
The following new business
places have been opened in Hay
Springs since the development of
the Flats area: Public accountant,
Variety store, Case dealership,
International Harvester dealer
ship, potato producers office, sug
ar company office, REA office,
automobile dealer, Consumers
Public Power, department store,
furniture store, IGA store, gas
station, two poultry businesses,
two electricians, two hardwares
and one motel.
In the preliminary survey, the
reclamation engineers have de
termined that there are approx
imately 66,000 acres of irrigatable
land in Holt county. If Irrigation
proves feasible in the O’Neill
unit, the increased progress in the
unit and surrounding towns and
the increased income from the
unit and additional business in
the towns will far exceed that of
the Mirage Flat project and the
town of Hay Springs.
