Abstract

Excerpts from p. 488 of Vol. XXV, 1911, of the Experiment Station Record: This is one of the series of reports prepared in this Office for the purpose of giving general information regarding the opportunities for settlement on irrigated lands in the several Western States and Territories, the cost of land and water and of establishing homes on these lands, and regarding the crops grown. It discusses the history of irrigation development in Arizona, the area and topography, flora, industries, valuations, and population of the Territory, its climate, crops, markets, lands, and water resources, the laws and usages relating to irrigation, existing irrigation enterprises, and agricultural practice, and the agricultural present and future. The water supply of Arizona available for irrigation purposes is estimated at from four to five million acre-feet a year, or sufficient for from 800,000 to 1,000,000 acres, whereas it is estimated that in 1909 but 227,770 acres was actually cultivated.
