Before irrigation, cotton farms averaged about 240 acres and cash-grain farms about 320 acres. This multiple-purpose project was constructed to provide irrigation water, flood control, and a municipal water supply for the city of Altus.

Farmers met costs of development largely from income or reserves, without going into debt.

Austin Project, in the cotton and cash-gram farming area of southwestern Oklahoma, represents one of the first attempts to intro duce irrigation of a project type into a subhumid area. Before irriga tion, cotton farms averaged about 240 acres and cash-grain farms about 320 acres. This multiple-purpose project was constructed to provide irrigation Water, flood control, and a municipal water supply for the city of Altus. Irrigation construction costs are to be repaid in 410 equal annual install ments. However, at the discretion of the Secretary of the Interior, a flexible payment plan, based upon gross income may be required. Water was delivered to a few acres in 1946, and to the entire project in 1950. The first payment on construction costs was made in 1951. Irrigation charges per acre vary from year to year. In 1952 and 1953 minimum charges were per acre for operation and mainte nance (o and M) and for cost of construction. From 1948 to 1950 an additional charge of $3.50'per acre-foot was made for all water de livered in excess of acre-foot per irrigable acre. In 1951 the charge for additional water above acre-foot Was per acre-foot, and in 1952 it was for additional water-above acre-foot. Because of a shortage of water in 1953, only the minimum charges were levied an acre for O and M and for construction.
