IRRIGATION.—The productivity of the land islargely due to the system of irrigation adopted bythe early settlers, which has been imitated bynearly all the Western States. Utahs half millionacres of cultivated lands are subjected to periodicalsurface flooding from mountain streams, valley riv-ers and the stored waters of reservoirs. The farmsare drenched from one to four times a year accord-ing to the nature of the soil and the humidity of theseason. This is accomplished by means of a sys-tem of co-operative canals and head-ditches. Virtu-ally all the private reservoirs, streams and canals inUtah are owned and operated co-operatively, so the only cost that falls onthe farmer is the laborof maintaining the con-duits and turning thewater upon his fields atproper intervals. Withscientifically construct-ed canals and good head-ditches the latter is an33. easy task and involves but a fraction of the workdevoted in wet climates to cultivating and harvest-ing. Irrigation places the husbandman beyond thevicissitudes of the weather and gives the crops thebenefit of the moisture and sunshine at the sametime. Under the reclamation act passed by Con-gress the United States Government loans money tothe prospective occupants of the land at the rate of$10 an acre, for the construction of reservoirs, canalsand ditches. The settlers have ten years in which torepay the loan and then become the owners of thewater in fee simple, having only to bear the cost ofmaintenance. The fund is self-perpetuating. Whenthe loan for one project is returned it is availablefor use in another. There are 351 canals in Utahowned co-operatively or by private corpo
