CROPS GROWN UNDER IRRIGATION— The acreage of irrigated lands devoted 

 to tame and wild haj's exceeds the combined acreage of all other crops under irrigation. 

 More than 90 per cent of the wheat acreage is not irrigated. Less than one-fifth of the 

 oats acreage, about one-third of the barley acreage, and a small percentage of the corn 

 licreage, are under irrigation. Sugar beets for sugar are grown only under irrigation, 

 and this is largely true for seed peas.
