Irrigation Chief
! Sees Basin Progress
Walter Says Niobrara
Has High Priority
The gross value of farm prod
ucts produced in the North Platte
valley in 1955 had an estimated
value of $20,350,000, J. R. Walter,
jr., region 7‘ director of the bureau
of reclamation in Denver, Colo.,
told the joint convention of the
Nebraska Reclamation association
and the Nebraska Irrigation as
sociation last Thursday in Scotts
buff.
w cmei reponea to tne conven
tion that there are now 1,393,000
acres of land irrigated in Nebras
ka.
He estimated that the 1955 to
tal would reach 1,500,000.
“Production of crops from bu
reau of reclamation projects has
been noteworthy,” he said.
“North Platte valley projects
again had an excellent year. The
late frost enabled crops to mature
well.”
In discussing future projects
Walter said the bureau is looking
ahead to development of projects
on the Niobrara, Loup, North
Loup, Platte and Republican riv
ers. The Ainsworth project is
pretty well along, he reported.
“We hope the next session of
congress will give us the full ap
propriation for the project.”
Around O’Neill, on the Nio
brara river, studies started this
fall for the irrigation of 66,000
acres. The O’Neill unit will be
the largest single unit in Nio
brara basin development, he
said.
The Farwell unit on the Loup
river has been approved by the
bureau of reclamation this fall
and involves 52,500 acres.
The North Loup investigations
have proceeded slower but will
advance as fast as possible cover
ing 60,000 acres.

Lower Platte river near Grand
Island has proceeded well, he
said.
The Republican river basin
work is proceeding rapidly. The
vote this week on the Red Wil
low-Hitchcock irrigation district
involves 4,200 acres.
Stanley Miller, chief of the civil
works branch of the Denver area
office of the corps of engineers,
reported: “Water is fast becoming
one of our most valuable national
resources. The corps of engineers
has one of the most important
roles in development of flood con
trol.
“Because Nebraska has the
greatest number of miles of flow
ing rivers the corps of engineers
plays a more important role.”
Current flood control problems
involve the Niobrara, Republican
and Platte river basins.
Miller said that the Niobrara
does not have serious problems.
The Republican problems will be
solved by completion of the pres
ent program.
From the standpoint of water
control the Platte valley is one of
the most complex basins in the
midwest and with the completion
of additional works planned it
will be one even more complex,
CoL Anthony J. Fleming of the
Omaha army engineers’ office told
the group.
Colonel Fleming said this com
plexity is due to the numerous
points at which water is diverted
and returned to the stream in
connection with existing irrigation
and power developments.
He added that probably less at
tention is paid to flood control in
the Platte than in any other basin
of comparable size subject to
heavy concentrated rain in the
Missouri basin.
“It looks like the Platte’s flood
control problems have been ne
glected when we consider that its
drainage area exceeds the com
