The number of independent enter- 

 prises reported in 1909 was 114, 

 against 119 in 1899, a decrease of 4.2 

 per cent. The length of main ditch 

 in 1909 was 54 miles, against 68 in 

 1899, a decrease of 20.6 per cent. In 

 view of the increase in the area irri- 

 gated, it is probable that these de- 

 creases are due to differences in 

 enumeration rather than to actual de- 

 creases in the number of enterprises 

 and length of ditches. The number of 

 reservoirs reported is 11, with a com- 

 bined capacity of 22 acre-feet. The 

 number of wells pumped for irriga- 

 tion was 65, and the acreage irri- 

 gated with pumped water is 119, or 

 slightly less than 2 acres per well. 



The total cost of irrigation sys- 

 tems reported for 1910 was $45,200, 

 against $19,672, an increase of $25,528, 

 or 129.8 per cent. The average cost 

 per acre in 1910 was $6.10, against 

 $7.13 in 1899, a decrease of 14.4 per 

 cent. The average annual cost of 

 operation and maintenance per acre in 

 1909 was 51 cents. 



No irrigation enterprises in the 

 state are operating under the Federal 

 reclamation act (act of June 17, 1902), 

 the Carey Act (act of congress Aug- 

 ust 18, 1894), or irrigation district 

 laws. Co-operative enterprises sup- 

 plied water to 2,000 acres. The re- 

 maining 3,402 acres were supplied by 

 individual and partnership enterprises. 

 Streams supplied 5,269 acres, or 97.5 

 per cent of the total area irrigated. 

 Of the remaining acreage, lakes sup- 

 plied 28 acres, wells 69 acres, springs 

 16 acres and reservoirs 20 acres. 



Solves Irrigation Problems

 has proved itself superior to anything of its kind on the market. 



The Twentieth Century 

 Ditching Machine 



will grub sage brush, make ditches to drain or irrigate, clean ditches, 

 and level land quicker, cheaper and better than any other device, and 

 do it at a total saving of more than the cost of the machine in a 

 single season. 



Weighs less than half as much as the heavy graders and does better 

 work at one-half the expense. Easily handled by one man. Drawn 

 by two or four horses. Let us send you particulars and pictures show- 

 ing what the 20th Century Ditcher has done for others and what it 

 will do lor you. Write today. Address,
