This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ground Water for Irrigation in the Sacramento Valley, California The price Of land is based on its anticipated value under irrigation and not on its value for dry farming. When subdivided, it is sold for two to three times its value for grain-raising, and for many tracts the purchaser must provide the means Of irrigation. The colonizing Of subdivided lands has become a business and is in the main con ducted by reputable firms. A large block Of land is purchased and surveyed into small tracts with provision for roads and perhaps for a town site. Irrigation works may be provided or a demonstration well and pumping plant installed with the intention that the settlers should install private plants, using wells for Obtaining water. Pur Chasers are attracted by agents and advertising. Charges of fraud have been made and doubtless in some cases are justified, but wide publicity and Cooperation among real estate men are eliminating false and exaggerated statements. Intending settlers should exercise cau tion, view the property, compare it with Similar Offers, and be sure that they are getting good land well situated for a fair price. The value of farm land rests primarily on the quality of the soil and the value Of the crops which it will produce, but the price Of similar land varies with proximity to market, towns, and schools, with danger of floods and assessments for reclamation, with the kind of irrigation feasible, and with many other local factors. The formation Of an intelligent judgment will be assisted bya study of reports of the United States Bureau Of Soils, covering large parts Of the valley, which are given in the following list.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in the Sacramento Valley, California In making a study of the irrigation conditions and possibilities of a drainage basin nearly one-half as large as the State of Illinois, it was found impossible to cover the entire area in a thorough man ner. Besides, such a course did not seem necessary. It was thought possible to present with a fair degree of accuracy conditions as they exist throughout the entire area by making detailed studies of a few representative localities and examining in a more general way the remainder of the territory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Government Irrigation and the Settler: California, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona, Including a Description of the Imperial Valley Project T'is not quite eight years since the Reclamation Act was passed. In that brief period a great national movement has been organized, and more than invested by the Reclamation Service. Not only so, but it will require more to complete the projects now under way in the West, the Northwest and Southwest, and this amount will be expended in the next three years if Congress will meet the special exigency and advance the inoney. The results of this vast expenditure are placed at the service of the settler, at the actual cost of work done and without asking for interest on the money invested. Not a dollar has been taken from the pocket of the tax payer, and not an acre has gone into the hands of a speculator. The working of no system is perfect, but here the work has been safeguarded with much care, and has been done for the benefit of bona-fide settlers, and homes have been erected for many thousands under the most promising conditions: Opportunities have been made for a large body of citizens to own land - good land, passed upon by experts after careful examination land well watered, in area sufficient to support a family, and under the best irrigation systems which money and skill could construct. No charge has been made for the land. The land is given away under the terms of the Homestead Act, and the Government simply recovers the actual cost of the water. Where lands are held in private ownership, this ownership is limited to 160 acres, and the rest is required to be sold to actual settlers. The practical working of the Service is to reduce the acreage under one holding, and to provide as many homes as possible on the lands available for reclamation. Now it is worth while to ask what all this means. It is a new thing in our history. A new departure in the functions of government. What is behind it?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton Irrigation Investigations in San Joaquin Valley, California, 1926 to 1935 Exclusive of preirrigation, an average depth of about 33 inches of water was applied annually to the plots in which the soil moisture was maintained above the permanent wilting percentage, except possibly for brief periods before some of the irrigations. The average depth of water used each year by the cotton plants, including that evaporated from the soil and any lost by seepage downward, was about 30 inches. August was the month of maximum use, averaging about 9 inches. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New River Basin and Lower California Irrigation Enterprise of the California Development Co Character of Soil. - With the exception of acres of Mesa lands under the East branch survey, the entire body of irrigable lands between the Salton Sink, and the River, is an alluvium, formed by the Colorado River. This area embraces no tracts of sand, it is very fertile, and remarkably even in its structure. The soil contains from IO to 20 per cent. Of clay hence is strong and retentive of moisture. Some patches of salt lands exist in Lower California; but these are excluded from our estimate of good land, notwithstanding the fact that local experience has demonstrated that these salt lands are rendered clean and productive by the application of water. The sedimentary deposit is from 20 to 200 feet in depth. Vegetation. - A large part of the Lower California tract is covered with a dense vegetation. Groves of cottonwood, mesquite and willow alternate with areas covered with native grasses, arrow weed, greasewood and wild hemp. In the United States timber is found along the Salton and New Rivers. After heavy rains the country is covered with a heavy growth of pepper grass, which makes excellent forage for cattle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ground Waters and Irrigation Enterprises in the Foothill Belt, Southern California Obviously a resource which has become so important to the con tinned welfare of so rich a district is worthy of careful study. Such a study is now under way, and its results are being made known through a number of water-supply papers that are being issued by the United States Geological Survey. The earliest of these to be prepared for distribution were a series of three (nos 137, 138, and 139) relating to the coastal plain which lies between the Coast Range and the Pacific Ocean. These papers did not embody close geologic determinations, but were rather records of the developments of underground waters which had taken place at the time of their issue, with some discussion of the effects of those developments in the region treated in them.
