This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigated Lands of United States, Canada and Mexico The book which is offered is the result of a direct and constant demand for the information which it comprehends. There are many land booklets published, most of which are issued by those firms interested in advertising a certain tract of land in a certain section and the result is that conditions obtaining within those particular localities are not belittled unduly nor is the firm held back in its representations by any ingrowing modesty or backwardness. The result is that the reader of such lurid, fancy word-painting of the skilled writer of such descriptions is led to the temporary belief, like the reader of the symptoms of a disease as set forth by a patent medicine ad-writer, that he certainly has it now. This manual has been prepared to set forth clearly and exactly all of the material facts in connection with all of the irrigated lands about which information is obtainable, giving the good points and the bad ones; stating the conditions as they exist briefly and dispassionately, and arranging them comparatively so that the searcher after information may have them before him in concise shape - and so he may have the beat benefit therefrom. The matter has been collected from a variety of authoritative sources and is believed to be exact in all respects. Much of the data has been from information supplied by reports from those in charge of the several projects, or compiled from meritorious publications. That of the Federal projects was supplied by the several Reclamation Project engineers and has been submitted to them for approval as well as to the Director of this Service at Washington. Many of the State Engineers have also supplied information as to the projects within their borders, and the several railroad systems have likewise furnished full information as to the irrigated lands tributary to their systems. To all of these and to the several large private irrigation enterprises the writer desires to acknowledge his indebtedness for much of the matter and illustrations herein included. The completed volume is offered as a manual for the irrigation engineer, expert and most of all for the homeseeker, as to him the book is particularly valuable, for he is the one who searches for a home for himself and his family in a section perhaps far removed from the lands of his fathers, and to such a one information which is exact and unbiased is not only necessary but imperative.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irrigation of the Uintah Indian Reservation, Utah Irrigation compels the adoption of the small farm unit. This is the gem of its new Social possibilities. During the first and second eras of colonization in this country, the favorite size of a farm was about four hundred acres, of which from a fourth to a half was gradually cleared and the rest retained in woodland. The Mississippi valley was settled mostly in quarter-sections, contain - ing one hundred and sixty acres each. The productive capacitv of land is so largely increased by irrigation, and the amount which one family can cultivate by its own labor consequently so much reduced, that the small farm unit is a practical necessity in the arid region. Where settlement has been carried out upon the most enlightened lines irrigated farms range from five to twenty acres, rarely exceeding forth acres at the maximum.

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 1028 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers Nos. 71-77, 1902-1903 The practice of irrigation in Texas is Of considerable antiquity, especially in the western end of the State, along the Rio Grande, where the early Spanish conquerors established settlements, and their descendants, the Mexicans, have maintained possession of the soil for centuries. At San Antonio are ditches whose origin is lost in local tradition, having probably been built to carry water to the grounds surrounding the missions. It is only in comparatively recent years, however, that particular attention has been drawn to the matter, and the importance of the development Of the State through irrigation has been appreciated by the public. Already agriculture by means of an artificial supply of water is being practiced in nearly every portion of the State, the greatest increase in acreage being in the rice-growing districts in the southeastern quarter. The figures obtained at the Eleventh Census (1889) and Twelfth Census (1899) illustrate the rapid increase in acreage and the wide extent to which irrigation is now employed. For most of the land water is obtained by gravity systems of ditches that is to say, by means of channels through which the water flows from some source at a higher elevation. In many places, however, it is impos sible to bring water to the surface Of the ground in this way, and it must be lifted or pumped by some mechanical device. For this pur pose windmills are most commonly used. West of the one-hundredth meridian north of San Antonio the cattle country of Texas stretches almost unbroken for from 200 to 500 miles. To supply water for the ranches which do not border on or include a flowing stream the wind mill has become a most potent factor. In addition, a few localities, like oases, have everlasting springs that rise with surprising sudden. Ness either from the foothills or from the baked prairies. These are in nearly all cases utilized to convert the otherwise unproductive soil into crop-bearing farms. While the Old Mexican methods of irriga tion are still in use in many localities, with their consequent waste of water, they have been accompanied by few disappointments or heart burnings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Arid America IN the summer of 1899, on a remote ranch in the desert country of Northeastern California, twelve miles from the nearest house (and no one living there, as my wife caustically remarked) I put the finishing touches to the first edition of this book. Now, six years to a day, in my library at San Diego, with its seaward gable commanding a view of a populous town and a wide landscape of bay, ocean, mountains, islands, and the bold promontory of Point Loma, I finish my revision of a new and enlarged edition which brings the story of Arid America down to date. There is a curious coincidence between the changed scene and conditions of my work at these two periods and the change in the fortunes of the Cause with which I deal. The irrigation movement of 1899 was compara tively remote from the great heart of the Nation, domi ciled in distant deserts, a long way from the nearest house (and almost nobody lived there, too), while the irrigation movement of 1905 is planted in the heart of populous towns and intimately related to the com merce of the world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers of the United States Geological Survey, 1897: Irrigation Near Greeley, Colorado-Boyd In the same way that Colorado has led m improvements in legisla tion have the citizens of Greeley and vicinity been the leaders' ln Col orado. First to experience the necessities, they have been at the front in urging needed reforms, and in these they have been notably successful. Thus it is appropriate in a series of papers devoted mainly to irrigation to review at some length the conditions near Greeley, for from here have come many initiatives to a proper state of affairs. Considerable space is devoted in this paper to matter which at first sight may seem to be more peculiar to the lawyer than to the farmer, bu t, as above stated, the irrigator is called upon probably more than any other agriculturist to consider his legal environment. Although a beginning has been made, yet many years must elapse before the laws relating to irrigation, both State and national, fully recognize the necessities of the irrigator or permit such a development that the greatest good shall come to the greatest number. In a government by the people and for the people it is essential that every man become to a certain extent familiar with such defects before they can be reme died, as well as with the physical possibilities and limitations of his country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lands and Peoples, Vol. 7: The World in Color The Republic of Mexico lies half in the tropics, and its climate varies amaz ingly, from the dry cactus plains along the Rio Grande to the rank jungles on. The Guatemalan border. Though a very mountainous country, it is sur prisingly fertile, and can produce crops as different as wheat and rubber. No land is more splendidly endowed with mineral wealth. Cortes and his Spanish adventurers came to Mexico for gold; they found plenty of it, and silver in far greater abundance. To-day.the fortune-hunters drill for Oil along the Gulf of Mexico, and often acquire wealth only less fabulous than that of the Aztecs whom Cortes despoiled. As a republic Mexico is not much more than a hundred years old, and there are still serious problems to be solved before the Indian and Spanish elements of her population can be welded into a true democracy.
