Idaho's Irrigation Statistics
WASHINGTON, June 1 Acting Census
director Falkner Issued today the first
official statement from the census bureau
relative to the statistics of Irrigation In
the state of Idaho.
: It Is based on a preliminary comparative
summary submitted by Dr. 1Orand Pow
ers, chief statistician of the division of
agriculture In the bureau of census, under
whose supervision It was prepared by R.
P. Teele, special agent In charge of irriga
tion. The summary shows for both 190ft
and 1R the number of farms Irrigated; the
acreage Irrigated; the acreage which exist
ing enterprises 'are oapable of supplying
and the acreage Included In existing proj
ects; the number of Independent enter
prises; the length of main ditches; the
total cost of Irrigating systems, the
average cost per aore Irrigated, and the
average annual cost . of maintenance and
operation. It shows also for the year tfuo
length of lateral ditches, number of reser
voirs, capacity of reservoirs, number of
flowing wells, number of wells pumped
for Irrigation, number of pumping plants,
engine capacity of pumping plants, and
acreaKe Irrigated with pumped water. The
acreage Irrigated Is classified by the type
of enterprise supplying water and by the
source of wster supply.
The act of congress of February 25, 1910,
under which the census of Irlrgatlon Is
being taken, provides for collecting full
information concerning the location, char
acter and cost of Irrigation enterprises;
whether such enterprises are conducted
under national, state or private control;
the acreage of land wtlh water rights can ,
be obtained, and the quantity of water used
for Irrigation.
It should be noted that the figures are
subject to revision, owing to the fact that
a small part of the state could not be can
vassed until the present summer. It Is not
expected that the reports from the terri
tory not yet canvassed will make any ma
terial modification In the totals or per
centages reported.
Acreage- Equipment and Cost
The total number of farms irrigated in
1909 was 16.012, against .1SS in 18419, an in
crease of 6,824, or 741 per cent, which is
about the fame as the ratio of Increase,
76.9 per cent. In the whole number of farms
In the state during the same period of
time. Hence the per cent of farms Irrigated
remains practically unchanged, being (2.1
in VMO and 62.6 In 1899.
The total acreage irrigated In 19US was
1, 428.642 acres, as against SUS.719 acres In
1S!, an Increase of 819,824 acres or 1S4.T per
cent. As the Improved acreage In farms
In the state In the same period of time
increased M.2 per rent It Is evident that
farmers are Irrigating larger parts of their
cultivated lands. Thts Improved acreage
Irrigated Increased from 43.1 per cent In
1SSS to M S per cent In 1SAJ8.
. The total acreage hleh all enterprises
were capable of supplying wtlh water
amounted In 1910 to 2,3.s4.j74 acres, as com
pared with 1,348.600 acres reiiorted under
ditch In lt-39. the increase being 1,036,074
acres, or 76.8 per cent In the eleven years.
The acreage Included In all projects com
pleted or actually under construction in
1910 was 3,647.949 acres.
The number of Independent enterprises
was 3.081 In IMS sad 1.834 In 1899. an In
crease of 1,247. or 67 9 per cent. The total
length of main ditches was 7.621 miles In
1909 and 4.M In 1S9. an Increase of 2,776
miles, or MS per cent. These increases are
much smaller than the gain in the acreage
lriiguted. Indicating that the new enter
prises and the new ditches are much larger
than those of 1S99.
The total coat of Irrigation systems to
July 1. 1910, was reported as 140.983.682, as
against 35.118.227 In lx9. an Increase of
I36.!rr,4&5, or 7il l per cent.
The average cost per acre of Irrigation In
1910 was 117.18, as compared with 13.79 In
109. an Increase of $1139 or Stt.I per cent
This great increase In coat per acre Irri
gated Is due In part to more difficult con
struction, and In part to better and more
permaneut construction. The average an
nual cost of Irrigation operation and main
tenance per acre Increased from 24 oents la
im to M cents In 19U9. or MS.T per cent.
showing that the newer works are mora
expensive in use as well as In first cost.
The acreage Irrigated in 1909 has been
classified according to the state and fed
eral laws, under which the works were
built or are operated, as follows: United
States reclamation service (act of congress
June 17. 1902),; 47,600 acres, or 3.8 per cent
of the total acreage Irrigated in 1009; United
States Indian service (various acts of con
gress), 1,886 acres, or 0.1 per cent of the
total; Carey act (act of congress August
18, 1894), 162,418 acres, or 11.4 per cent of
total; Irrigation districts (state law pro
viding for organisation districts), 140,930
acres, or 9 9 per cent of total; co-operative
enterprises, 628,103 acres, or 44 per cent of
total; enterprises supplying water for hire.
44,871 acres, or tl per cent of total; private
and partnership enterprises, 402,834 acres,
or 28.2 per cent of total.
The works built by the United Btates
reclamation service and those built un
der the Carey act are to be turned over
to ' the water users as soon as they are
paid for, and 27,000 acres credited to en
terprises supplying . water for hire have
been organised, Into an Irrigation district
sine these data were collected.
These three classes of enterprises are
the only iones not now controlled by the
water users. When the two first named
hare been turned over, only about 1 per
cent of the Irrigated land will be served
by works not controlled by the water users.
Streams supply 1,400,097 acres, or 98 per
cent of the total acreage; lakes supply
,167 acres, or 0.4 per cent; wells supply
1,877 acres, or 0.1 per cent; springs supply
18,679 acres, or 1.4 per cent; and reservoirs
supply 732 acres, or less than 0.1 per cent

Divisions.
(Ftam a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, D. C. June I. (Special.)
Telegram) The Commercial club of
Omaha having suggested that the forma
tion of new division headquarters of the
army would take away from the Depart
ment of the Missouri not only many offi
cers, but civUlan employes. Senator Hitch
cock busied himself today to sen J 11st what,
from a business point of view, this would
mean to Omaha.
The senator ascertained from the powers
that create the, new departments and
erect new divisions that under the pro
posed scheme, something like 3250,000 would
be saved to the government The mere
fact of the saving, however, didn't im
press the senator from Omaha. He wanted
to know who would be bit, and not being
Just exactly satisfied, he Introduced a
resolution today, which the senate adopted,
calling upon the secretary of war to fur
nish the senate with a statement of the
reasons for the proposed re-establishment
of division headquarters In the army, to
gether with a description of thts proposed
division, and a statement of the number
of officers and civilian employes to be
stationed at each division headquarters
and the number of officers and civilian
employes that it proposed to withdraw
from each department headquarters as now
organised; also what effect, if any. the
proponed return tn the system of division
headquarters wUI have in army expendi
tures, and whether this was taken into
account in making up the estimates foe
the next fiscal year, and if so, in what
total amount
Doesn't Underetnnd Mdt,
"The German army is maintaining but
one division," said Senator Hitchcock.
"Why we should have three divisions with
but an army of scarce 66.000 men all told, I
can't understand, unless it Is designed to
create some new major general. I hope for
an early reply to my resolutions."
When tha army Is reorganised on July 1
the military departments and brigade posts
included within the three new divisions
will be commanded by the following brig
adier generals:
Department of the East, Tasker H. Bliss;
Oulf, Albert Mills; California, Daniel H.
Brush; Columbia, Marlon P. Mauss; Lakes,
Ralph W. Hoyt; Missouri, Frederick A.
Smith; Texas, Joseph W. Duncan; Fort
Leavenworth (brigade post), Walter B.
Schuyler.
Pending the selection of a commander
for the new central division. Brigadier Gen
eral Ramsay D. Potts will act as com
mander of that division, The eastern di
vision will be commanded by Major General
Frederick D. Grant and the western
division by Major General Arthur Murray.
Little Ctrl Killed by Mora.
8IOUX FAL.U4. S. V.. June .-(Speclal.)
An unusual number of South Dakota
children have thus far this year met their
death as the result of accidents. The
latest victim is the 8-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Smith, who reside
on a farm In Brule county. A bad storm
cams up while the girl and her mother
were in the yard surrounding their home
and they took refuge in a henhouse. The
storm was accompanied by a tierce wind,
which wrecked the hen house, and the little
girl was caught in the wreckage and
killed. Mrs. Smith was seriously injured,
but will recover.
