The Census Investigation of
Irrigation-
A special effort will be made by the
Division of Agriculture of tbe Twelfth
Census of the United State* to collect
and tabulate important data relating
to irrigation in the arid and semi-hu-
mid regions of the United States. A
preliminary schedule has been prepar-
ed and will soon be sent out to obtain
the names of corporations and individ- !
uals owning canals or ditches. This is |
one of the essential steps for securing
desired information regarding the ex-
tent and value of the canalsand ditches
used for irrigation, and their sources of
water supply.
In the preliminary schedule a request
is made for the names of the principal
canals or ditches ij their order down
stream, tbe ditches to the right—look-
ing down stream—being arranged on
the first page of the list, and those
heading to the left on tbe last page.
Request is also made for the name and
postoffice address of some person who
can give detailed information concern-
ing each ditch.
The principal schedule now in course
of preparation will be mailed to tbe ad-
dresses thus obtained calling for fur-
ther data, which will be supplemented
by detailed statistics gathered by the
census enumerators.
It should be noted by all interested in
the subject that these various inquiries
of the census office in no way conflict
with, or duplicate the work, with refer-
ence to irrigation which is being con-
ducted by any other department of
state. The most nearly related inquiry
is that of the Geological Survey, which
like that of the Census, is under the
more immediate direction of Mr. P. H.
Newell, the special agent for irrigation
in the Eleventh Census, and hydro-
grapher of the Geological Survey The
fact that Mr. Newell has supnrvision of
this work in the Twelfth Census guar-
antees its efficiency and its value to the
arid and semi-humid regions.
It will be readily apparent that the
volume and 1 value of these statistics
will depend very largely upon the at-
tention and interest shown therein by
those engaged in irrigation, and it is
earnestly hoped that all to whom the
schedules are addressed will appreciate
the importance of the request and make
prompt and careful reply. In this way
only will it be possible to make the in-
formation concerning irrigation full
and complete.
In order to obtain a full understand-
ing and an intelligent appreciation of
tbe possible development of the arid
and semi-humid regions of the west, a
general knowledge of tbe progress
actually made is of vital importance.
An accurate Census of irrigation will
impart such general knowledge, and
will be of great benefit to ail those con-
cerned in redeeming arid lands. The
future development of this vast portion
of our domain will be greatly advanced
by a comprehensi vecompilation of facts
relating to its irrigation such as con-
templated by t.h<- Twelfth Census.
