PREFACE
Volume III : Irrigation of Agricultural Lands presents all available data for the 1959
Census of Irrigation.
The 1959 Census of Irrigation covered irrigation only in the 17 conterminous Western
States, Louisiana, and Hawaii. This report presents some summary data on irrigated
land for the same area, obtained in the 1959 Census of Agriculture.
The 1959 Census of Irrigation was taken in conformity with the Act of Congress of
August 31. 1954 (amended August 1957), which was codified Title 13. United States Code.
Most of the date presented in the report were collected by mail. Reports for irrigation
enterprises with operations limited to a drainage basin area for which reports could not
be obtained by mail were secured by census enumerators.
The planning of the census was performed by Hugh H. Hansen and Henry L. DeGraff,
Irrigation Economists, under the supervision of Ray Hurley, Chief, Agriculture Division.
Census enumerators worked under the supervision of Robert B. Voight, then Chief of the
Field Division. Reports of irrigation enterprises with operations in more than one drainage
basin were obtained by John Zimnier, Raymond Anderson, and Wayne Ehlers of the
Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, working as special
agents of the Bureau of the Census. The compilation of the statistics was under the
supervision of Henry L. DeGraff. George Coffman reviewed most of the tabulations and
the statistical tables. Maps accompanying this report were prepared under the super-
vision of William T. Fay, Chief of the Geography Division, Bureau of the Census. This
report was written by Henry L. DeGraff, Irrigation Economist, Warder B. Jenkins,
Assistant Chief, Agriculture Division, and Ray Hurley, Chief of the Agriculture Division.

INTRODUCTION
1959 CENSUS OF IRRIGATION
Data regarding irrigation were collected from two sources for
the 1959 Censuses of Agriculture and Irrigation.
In the 1959 Census of Agriculture, information about irrigation
was collected directly from farm operators regarding acres irri-
gated, and for 19 States regarding crops irrigated and source of
water. The inquiries for the census of agriculture for the 17
conterminous Western States, Louisiana, and Hawaii were as
follows :

A special survey was made in 1960 for farms for which land
irrigated was reported in the 1959 Census of Agriculture for
these 30 States. This survey obtained information regarding
source of water, method of irrigation, type of power used for
pumping, crops irrigated, constructed reservoirs, and year irri-
gation was started. The results of this survey appear in Volume
V, Part 2 : "Irrigation in Humid Areas" of the reports for the
1959 Census of Agriculture.
Data regarding the irrigation operations were obtained from
irrigation organizations. With few exceptions, the 1959 Census
of Irrigation included only organizations which supplied water
to two or more farms. This enumeration included the 17 con-
terminous Western States, Louisiana, and Hawaii. Three ques-
tionnaires were used in 1959 to enumerate irrigation organiza-
tions. These three forms requested the same basic information
but differed according to the type of organization each was de-
signed to enumerate. Facsimile copies of these questionnaires
are shown in the appendix of this report. A more complete dis-
cussion of each questionnaire including its purpose, is given on
page XVII.
History of census collection of irrigation data. — Inquiries relat-
ing to irrigation of farm and ranch lands in the United States
have been included in each decennial census of agriculture be-
ginning with 1890 and for each mid-decennial census of agricul-
ture beginning with 1935. The 1890 general questionnaire for
the census of agriculture, used in all States and territories,
contained one inquiry to obtain the total acreage irrigated on
each farm and another to obtain the number of artesian wells
flowing. Other facts were obtained by direct correspondence and
special schedules addressed to each irrigator. The 1890 report
(Volume V of the Eleventh Census of the United States) present-
ed a limited amount of irrigation data for 16 States or territories
in the western part of the United States, listed, for discussion
purposes, under two groupings, viz, arid region and subhumid
region. The arid region embraced a part or the whole of 8
States — California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon,
Washington, and Wyoming — and the whole of 3 territories — Ari-
zona, New Mexico, and Utah. The subhumid region embraced
parts of 5 States, viz, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, and Texas. The statistics presented in the 1890 report
showed 3,631,381 acres had been irrigated in 1889 on 54,136 farms.
Irrigation of Indian reservation lands was not included.
In the 1900 Census of Agriculture, two inquiries relating to
irrigation of farm and ranch lands were carried, for all States and
territories. These two inquiries classified the number of acres
irrigated in 1899 according to whether the irrigation water came
from natural streams or from pumped or artesian wells. Sta-
tistics were presented separately, first, for three groupings of
States and territories, viz, arid States which corresponded to the
similarly designated grouping in 1890; semiarid States which,
with the addition of Oklahoma, comprised the 1890 grouping
under subhumid States; and the humid States. (See Volume VI,
Part II, of the Twelfth Census of the United States.) The latter
grouping, for the 1900 report, was made up of four New England
States, the three Middle Atlantic States, and Florida. Irrigation
carried out on Indian reservations was excluded. The 1900 re-
port acknowledged that watering of market gardens, even those of
considerable size, often was not reported as irrigation.
Recognition was taken of the fact that many acres of irri-
gated rice, except for Texas, had not been included in the totals
for the three main groupings of States. (Rice irrigation in Texas
really began about 1897, the industry receiving great impetus from
the success of the planters in southwestern Louisiana.) There-
fore, some separate data were presented in the 1900 report for
irrigated rice farms in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
North Carolina, and South Carolina as well as for Texas. A few
figures were presented for irrigated sugarcane, rice, and other
crops produced in the Hawaiian Islands. The report for that
year contained these observations in respect to rice. "The col-
lection of statistics of irrigation in the Southern States, especially
of those relating to the irrigation of rice, has been attended with
many difficulties. In the coast counties rice is reported as grown
with and without irrigation, and in many instances the yield per
acre is nearly the same. To determine the extent of irrigation,
correspondence with the planters was necessary, but . . . results
are not satisfactory. The data concerning the large plantations
IRRIGATION OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
were quite fully reported, and upon these the census figures are
based, no account having been taken of many small plantations
growing rice from which no special reports were received."
A joint resolution of Congress, approved June 30, 1902, provided
for the collection of data on irrigation for the crop year 1902.
Questionnaires were mailed to irrigators reported in the 1900 Cen-
sus of Agriculture and to officials of important canal companies.
The statistics received by mail were supplemented by field work
in a few States and by a limited amount of information from other
sources. The data obtained were tabulated by drainage basins
in order, so it was reported, that a better knowledge may be had
of the extent of use of these waters. (See Census Bulletin 16,
"Irrigation in the United States: 1902," published in 1904.) The
1902 Special Census included the same 11 arid States and terri-
tories, 6 semiarid States, 8 humid States, and 6 rice-growing
States for which data were presented in the 1900 report. Irri-
gators in the Hawaiian Islands were not canvassed for the
1902 Special Survey of Irrigation.
Beginning with 1910, a special census of irrigation has been
taken, decennially, in the United States. The law relating to the
first of these special irrigation censuses provided that the inquiry
should cover "the arid region of the United States." The "arid
region" was held to include all sections of the United States where
irrigation is commonly practiced in the growing of farm crops.
The 1910 Special Census of Irrigation included the western part
of the tier of States formed by the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, and Texas, and all States and territories between these
States and the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii and the other insular pos-
sessions were not covered. Under a broad interpretation, the 1910
Special Census of Irrigation was extended to the rice-growing dis-
tricts of Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas. A special questionnaire
pertaining to irrigation enterprises was prepared and the data
were collected by special agents. This irrigation questionnaire
was designed to secure more detailed information than was called
for by the general questionnaire for the census of agriculture
carried by the enumerators who were charged with collecting data
in respect to individual farms and the population. The latter
enumerators, in areas using water for irrigation, made use of a
supplemental irrigation schedule. (See Volumes V, VI, and
VII of the reports of the Thirteenth Census for irrigation data
for 1910, from both the special irrigation census and from the
general census.)
For 1920, the basic plan for gathering irrigation statistics
provided that the census of agriculture enumerators, in all States,
would obtain a few facts in regard to land to which water had
been supplied, for agricultural purposes, by artificial means or by
seepage from canals, reservoirs, or other irrigated lands. A cross
(X) was required to be placed before the name of each crop irri-
gated. In the 17 most westerly States — Arizona, California,
Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas,
Utah, Washington, and Wyoming — and also in Arkansas and
Louisiana, this same general class of enumerators were instructed
to obtain an irrigation schedule for each enterprise supplying
water to fewer than 5 farms. Special agents were employed to
obtain, in the 19 listed States, irrigation schedules for the larger
enterprises and, after the regular enumeration had been com-
pleted, for any small ones missed by the general census enu-
merators. After 1910, rice growing became quite important in
California. Since the area devoted to that crop, in that State,
is not geographically separated from other lands used for growing
irrigated harvested crops or irrigated pasture, all data related
to rice growing in the 19 listed States, were consolidated for the
first time, in the Fourteenth Census reports with the data for
other irrigated lands. (See Volume VII of the reports of the
Fourteenth Census.)
The first mid-decennial census of agriculture was taken in
1925. No inquiries were made for the 1925 census to identify
irrigated land or irrigated crops. In each subsequent mid-decen-
nial census, some data in regard to irrigation have been obtained,
though not necessarily published, for each State, in the general
census of agriculture.
In the 1930 census, irrigation statistics were gathered in a
manner closely similar to that followed ten years earlier. The
census of agriculture enumerator, regardless of the State in
which he was working, was required to obtain a few facts for
irrigated cropland (not total irrigated land) and to identify any
harvested crop wholly or partially irrigated. For each harvested
crop, partially grown on dryland, provision was made to list
separately the dryland acres and production. The census of
agriculture enumerator, in the same 19 States covered in the
1910 and 1920 Censuses of Irrigation, was required to fill a rela-
tively simple questionnaire for individual, partnership, and
cooperative enterprises serving one to four farms. For enter-
prises of other types, and partnership and cooperative enterprises
serving more than four farms, a more elaborate questionnaire and
special enumeration procedure were used. United States Govern-
ment enterprises were reported direct to the Bureau of the Census
by the Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation and the Com-
missioner of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the separate reports
being prepared by local division or project engineers under the
supervision of these officials. Reports for others of the group of
larger enterprises were obtained by mail. The mail canvass pre-
ceded the work of the enumerators, which permitted census super-
visors to detail conveniently located enumerators who had per-
formed good work in reporting the smaller enterprises, to the
enumeration of enterprises which had not already been covered
by reports obtained by mail. Finally, such enterprises for which
reports had been obtained neither by mail nor through the regular
enumerators were canvassed by special enumerators. ( See "Irri-
gation of Agricultural Lands," one of the 1930 Census of Agricul-
ture reports.)
In the 1935 Census of Agriculture, only one inquiry in regard
to irrigation appeared on the questionnaire for the general census
of agriculture. This one question was designed to obtain the
total acreage from which irrigated crops were harvested in 1934.
(See Volume III of the 1935 Census of Agriculture reports for
data for irrigation for all States.) The publication of irrigation
data for each State, as presented in the summary report for the
1935 Census of Agriculture has been continued for each succeeding
census. Sometimes all of the available data have been presented
in the summary report for the census of agriculture while for
other years, when a special census of irrigation was conducted,
some of the data appear in the summary report for the census of
agriculture and the remaining in the special report dealing with
irrigation.
In the 1940 Census of Agriculture, the total acreage of land
from which irrigated crops were harvested and the total acreage
of irrigated land used only for pasture or grazing were secured
in all States. In the 17 most westerly States and in Arkansas
and Louisiana, the irrigated area was also obtained for many of
the individual crops. No provision was made on the questionnaire
for showing separately the total production of a crop harvested
from irrigated land. However, the tabulation plan provided for
a separation of the acreage and production of the farms reporting
a crop wholly irrigated and of the farms reporting a crop wholly
nonirrigated. A limited amount of data was also tabulated for
irrigated farms in Florida. (See Volume I, Volume III, and
"Irrigation of Agricultural Lands" of the 1940 Census of Agri-
culture reports for irrigation data obtained in the 1940 general
census of agriculture; also see Volume III for some historical
data beginning with those for 1890.) The special census of ir-
rigation for 1940 was conducted in Florida in addition to the 19
INTRODUCTION
XI
States referred to above. In the 1935 Census of Agriculture,
2,751 farms in Florida had been recorded as having 65,832 acres
of irrigated farm and ranch land in 1934. These were larger
totals than shown for any State other than those included in the
designated 18 irrigation States covered in several special censuses
of irrigation. (In the 1940 report "Irrigation of Agricultural
Lands," statistics were presented for 19 States as one group while
those for Florida were summarized with any available data pre-
sented for the group of humid States.)
The questionnaire for the 1945 Census of Agriculture contained
this inquiry : "Total land in this farm irrigated in 1944." Provi-
sion was made, in the reporting form for the 19 irrigation States,
for the enumerator to identify, with a check mark, crops har-
vested from irrigated land. However data collected in the 1945
Census of Agriculture on irrigation were not published because of
their incompleteness. (See page XXVII of Volume II of the
1945 Census of Agriculture reports. ) The incompleteness seemed
to be more general in areas where irrigation was not widely
practiced. Later, after a review of the tabulated totals for each
county and some editing to correct the most likely cases of in-
complete enumeration, a six-page pamphlet was issued, present-
ing a comparison of 1945 and 1940 census totals. This special
report gave county data for farms reporting irrigated land and
acres of irrigated land. However, data for counties with less
than 100 acres irrigated in 1944 were consolidated in each State
under the heading "All other counties." In the 1950 summary
report of the census of agriculture (see pages 11, 62, and 63 of
Volume II of the 1950 Census of Agriculture reports), the State
totals for 1945 were published and are compared with data for
prior censuses. In the 1950 Census of Agriculture, data were ob-
tained on total land irrigated in 1949 and on acres irrigated by
sprinklers. Additional data in respect to irrigation were obtained
for 20 States, the 17 Western States, Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Florida. The additional information obtained included a classi-
fication of the total irrigated land into four categories according
to use, viz, irrigated cropland harvested, irrigated wild grass
pasture, irrigated tame grass pasture, and irrigated cropland not
harvested and not pastured ; and information as to the specific
crops irrigated and the supplier of the irrigation water. (See
Volumes I, II, and III of the 1950 Census of Agriculture reports
for these data.) In the 1950 Census of Irrigation, two question-
naires were used. One was used for the enumeration of irriga-
tion enterprises operated by farms individually and the other for
irrigation companies, districts, and other enterprises not operated
by individual farms. The enterprises operated by individual
farms were enumerated at the same time that the other census
information for farms was obtained, by census of agriculture
enumerators who receive special training for the enumeration of
the irrigation enterprises. Enumeration of the irrigation enter-
prises that supplied 10 or more farms was accomplished in ad-
vance of the enumeration of the census of agriculture through
the employment of specially qualified irrigation technicians —
mostly professional employees of the Soil Conservation Service
of the United States Department of Agriculture. Lists of enter-
prises serving 10 or more farms had been compiled, in part, from
the reports collected in the 1940 Census of Irrigation. Another
list, made currently while the census of agriculture enumeration
was being conducted, was the principal source for the names of
enterprises that supplied water for two to nine farms. These
latter enterprises were enumerated by special enumerators trained
and supervised by the irrigation technicians. (See Volume III:
"Irrigation of Agricultural Lands" of the 1950 Census of Agricul-
ture reports for statistics and their comparability with those from
prior censuses.)
For the 1954 Census of Agriculture, several inquiries were used
to obtain irrigation data in the 17 conterminous Western States
and in Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, and southeastern Missouri.
For all of these areas, the inquiries related to the 1954 acreage
of irrigated land from which crops were harvested and the names
of the crops for which the entire acreage harvested was irrigated
in 1954. The area of irrigated pasture was also obtained except
in Arkansas, Louisiana, and southeastern Missouri. In the re-
maining 27 States and Missouri except for southeastern counties
in Missouri, the questionnaire called for only the total acres
irrigated in 1954. For the 17 conterminous Western States and
for Arkansas, Florida, and Louisiana, the published data included
the total land in farms reporting irrigation, the land in farms
classified by use, and, except for Arkansas and Louisiana, the
irrigated portion of land in farms classified as to whether an
irrigated crop had been harvested or the land had been used for
pasture only. For these 20 States, data for irrigated and non-
irrigated crops were published. For the other 28 States, the
published data for irrigation were limited to the farms reporting
and the total acres of land irrigated. (See Volumes I and II of
the 1954 Census of Agriculture reports for all published data
gathered on the 1954 questionnaire.) Because of increasing in-
terest in the subject of irrigation in the humid areas, a special
survey in cooperation with the United States Department of Agri-
culture was made in 1955 in the 28 Eastern States. (See Part 6
of Volume III, Special Reports, 1954 Census of Agriculture, for
the kind of information gathered.)
Legal basis for the 1959 Censuses of Agriculture and Irriga-
tion.— The 1959 Censuses of Agriculture and Irrigation were au-
thorized by an Act of Congress, as were all similar prior censuses.
"Title 13, United States Code — Census," codiied in August 1954,
and amended in August 1957 and September 1960, is now the legal
basis for censuses of agriculture and other censuses, and surveys
conducted by the Bureau of the Census. Section 142 paragraph
(a) made provision for a census of agriculture and paragraph
(b) for a census of irrigation. These sections read as follows :
"142. Agriculture, Irrigation, and Drainage.
(a) The Secretary shall, beginning in the month of October
1959, and in the same month of every fifth year thereafter,
take a census of agriculture, provided that the censuses
directed to be taken in October 1959 and each tenth year
thereafter, may, when and where deemed advisable by the
Secretary, be taken instead in conjunction with the" cen-
suses provided in Section 141 of this title. (Section 141
relates to the decennial censuses of population, unemploy-
ment, and housing to be taken as of the first day of April
of each decennial year.)
( b ) The Secretary shall, in conjunction with the census of agri-
culture directed to be taken in October 1959 and each tenth
year thereafter, take a census of irrigation and drainage."
PRESENTATION OF STATISTICS
The principal purpose of this report is to present all of the
available data obtained in the 1959 Census of Irrigation. How-
ever, many of the data obtained in the 1959 Census of Agriculture
are included so as to furnish more complete data not only for the
Western States but also to bring together in one volume most of
the data for all States and for the United States. This report
also presents data obtained in previous censuses, both those for
the census of irrigation and for the census of agriculture. Gen-
erally, the data from only one of these censuses are presented in
a table. However, in a few cases, data from both censuses are in
the same table.
Census of agriculture data. — Data from the census of agricul-
ture are provided to indicate the extent of irrigation and to pro-
vide measures of the use of irrigation water for the production of
various farm products. Summary table 1 shows, for each of the
50 States, exclusive of Alaska, the number of irrigated farms and
the total area irrigated for the censuses of 1959, 1954, and 1950.
Summary table 2 shows, for each of the 17 conterminous Western
States and Louisiana, a classification of the land in farms accord-
ing to use, as obtained in both the 1959 and 1954 censuses. Addi-
tional data are given for those farms, in each State, which
reported all harvested crops as having been grown under irriga-
XII
IRRIGATION OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
tion. Figures are given in summary table 2 for the two groups
of irrigated farms (1) those which used any irrigation water
and (2) a smaller but significant total for farms on which all
crops were harvested from irrigated land.
A full analysis of census-collected irrigation data must take
into account the kinds of individual crops to which water was
applied ; the proportion of the total acreage of each crop which
was irrigated ; the proportion of the total production which was
grown under irrigation ; and the average yields obtained with and
without irrigation. Such data are given in summary tables 4
and 5. The first of these, summary table 4, provides a summariza-
tion by the kind of crops harvested in 1959 for 18 irrigation
States, with available comparable totals for crops harvested in
1954. Figures are given, for many of the principal crops har-
vested, showing the number of farms which irrigated the entire
acreage of a crop, with its acres, production, and value of pro-
duction. These figures represent totals for farms on which all
the crop harvested was irrigated.
The data for irrigated crops presented in summary table 4 do
not represent the total acreage of tie various crops irrigated.
The data relate only to the acreage and production of crops on
those farms on which the entire acreage of the crop harvested was
irrigated. For example, if the total acreage of corn harvested on
a farm were 40 and all 40 acres were irrigated, then the entire 40
acres of corn was included in the total for irrigated. However,
if only 10 out of the 40 acres of corn harvested were irrigated,
then the totals given in summary tables 4 and 5 do not include the
10 acres of corn irrigated. In such cases, the entire 40 acres of
corn was included in the total for nonirrigated. However, data
are given in summary table 3 showing the total acreage of each
crop irrigated on farms where only part of the acreage in a crop
was irrigated.
Census of agriculture data, as to total acres irrigated and
acres irrigated from ground and surface sources, are included
in summary tables 11 and 12 and in summary table 9.
Data for the census of irrigation are presented by States and
by drainage basins. In some tables, data are presented by drain-
age basins within States. In the presentation of data when only
a few organizations were serving within a State, State totals
only are given. If only a few irrigation organizations operated
in a given drainage basin, totals for the area are not shown
separately but are combined with those for another basin. Some-
what similar procedures are followed in the presentation of data
by type of organization or size of organization measured by total
acre-feet of water conveyed.
The tables for individual States present data, on an intrastate
basis, for each separately delineated drainage basin within a
State. These basins may be minor basins, or submajor basins
depending on the extent to which drainage basins within a State
have been delineated for the purpose of presenting data. Totals
are given for each grouping of basins into the next larger drainage
basin unit and for the State. The tables containing totals for the
18-State area present data for larger drainage basin units on an
interstate basis. Submajor drainage basins are the smallest unit
for which data are shown. In both intrastate and interstate
tables, if there were less than 3 organizations in one or more of
the basins, combinations of the data were made so that the two
basins together made a fairly homogeneous unit. In the intra-
state tables for Colorado, data are given separately for the north
and south parts of submajor basin IV-D.
Other published data. — Volume I of the reports for the 1959
Census of Agriculture contains for each State and for each
county, detailed data on irrigation as follows:
County Table la. — Number, acreage, land in farms classified by
use, acreage irrigated by sprinklers, irrigated farms classified by
acres irrigated, and land irrigated by source of water.
County Table 11a. — Farms reporting, acreage, and quantity of
crops harvested from irrigated land. Figures are given for acres
and quantity harvested for farms for which the entire harvested
acreage of the crop was irrigated. For farms on which only part
of the harvested acreage of the crop was irrigated, figures are
given for farms reporting and acres, but not for quantity
harvested.
Census of irrigation data. — Census of irrigation data are pre-
sented for the States covered by the 1959 Census of Irrigation, i.e.,
for the 17 conterminous Western States, and Louisiana. Data
are not given separately for Oklahoma, as only two irrigation
organizations were recorded in that State. To avoid disclosure
of individual operations, Oklahoma figures have been combined
with those for Kansas.
Drainage basin data provide the basis for a comprehensive
analysis of irrigation organizations and their characteristics and
development as well as measures of the relative importance of
the principal streams as sources of water supply. Therefore, the
statistics were assembled by drainage basins, and such geographic
areas are extensively utilized herein for data presentation.
Since drainage basin boundaries do not usually coincide with
State lines, figures may be presented either on an intrastate or an
interstate basis. Some tables contain data compiled on both
bases. Since the irrigated area in a drainage basin may have
received water from another drainage basin, data are shown in
three of the tables regarding the interbasin transfers of water.
For convenience of reference, the drainage basins by which
the data are presented have been identified in the tables and on
the maps by a uniform system of symbols. Major drainage basins
are designated by Roman numerals, submajor basins (subdivi-
sions of the major drainage basins) by capital letters, parts or
tributaries of the submajor basins by Arabic numerals, and fur-
ther subdivisions by small letters. Thus, the number II-D 5c
represents the drainage basin of the Yuba River (subminor basin
c) which is part of the drainage area of the Feather River (minor
basin 5) which is a tributary of the Sacramento River (submajor
basin D) which is part of the South Pacific Coast drainage basin
(major basin II). Parts of basins designated as the basin
"direct" include tributaries not shown separately.

Maps showing irrigated areas by drainage basins. — There is
a series of maps available for each of the 17 Western States and
Louisiana. These maps are approximately 3 feet by 4 feet in size
and were prepared on a scale of about 16 miles on the ground to
1 inch on the map. These show the location of irrigated land by
counties and by drainage basins and the acres irrigated by source
of water, either ground or surface. One overall map, showing
similar data for all of the 18 States, is also available. The
acreage shown as irrigated within a drainage basin may not have
received all of its water from sources within that basin as water
from one basin may have been diverted and used in another basin.
The data used in the preparation of the maps for 1959 were
obtained from both the census of irrigation and the census of
agriculture. All figures for acreage are from the census of
agriculture. The allocation of the acreage irrigated from orga-
nization sources between surface- and ground-water sources was
made on the basis of the percentage of the water received in the
drainage basin, by all organizations, which came from ground and
surface sources.
The number of dots for the State maps were calculated for
each minor civil division or other county subdivision. The dots
were plotted within the subdivision after an examination of
United States Geological Survey topographic maps, maps of the
Bureau of Reclamation projects, enumerator maps, and any other
available information indicating the location of the irrigated land.
After plotting, the dots were counted by drainage basins to de-
termine the irrigated acreage from each water source for each
drainage basin.
The acreage irrigated for counties having less than 500 acres
irrigated is not shown on the maps. However, the table printed
on the map does provide totals for the irrigated acreage in each
drainage basin even though the data are not shown on the map
for all counties.

In order that the figures presented for drainage basins may be
more easily understood, three maps are given to show the general
plan of both data and map presentation. One map shows the lo-
cation of the major drainage basins in the 17 conterminous
Western States and Louisiana. The second map shows the sub-
major drainage basins for which intrastate tables are presented
and the third map shows the submajor drainage basins for which
interstate tables are presented.

ENUMERATION FORMS AND PROCEDURES
Introduction. — The primary purpose for the formation of an
irrigation enterprise, organization, or system is to obtain water
from natural sources and deliver it to water users. Under a broad
interpretation, a system could include a formal or informal co-
operative undertaking or a single enterprise. Water may come
from ground sources or from surface sources. In many areas it
is necessary to store water from melting snow or winter rain in
order to have a more adequate supply during the growing season.
Most commonly, the water is stored in a reservoir behind a dam
built across the stream which furnishes the water. Occasionally,
a more economical location for water storage is off the stream
which supplies the water and an off-stream reservoir has been
constructed.
Medium and large-size irrigation systems will necessarily have
one or more main canals or pipe lines to convey water to the area
to be served, commonly using gravity flow. Main canals may
deliver water to smaller canals, usually called laterals, which
carry the water to a group of water users located along the
lateral.
Many enterprises which deliver water for the irrigation of farm
and ranch land perform other functions. These may include the
generation of electric power, flood control, artificial drainage of
lands, and the delivery of water for other uses. These other
uses may be divided into two groups. The first group includes :
Domestic and residential users, including lawn and garden water-
ing ; municipal water supply ; water for industrial purposes ; live-
stock watering ; and water spreading for the recharge of ground-
water supplies. The water involved in these uses and for the
irrigation of farm and ranch lands must be taken from streams or
other natural sources. These are the uses for which information
was obtained in a census of irrigation, on water delivered by
irrigation enterprises.
The other group of water uses for which water is delivered
includes power generation, streamflow regulation for navigation,
waste dilution, and for fish and wildlife. The water involved in
this group either is not taken out of streams or, after diversion,
is returned without any substantial loss in quantity. The census
of irrigation has not been concerned directly with this second
group of water uses.
The 1959 Census of Irrigation was concerned with finding out
the amount of water taken from natural sources by irrigation
organizations ; accounting for the transfers between the organi-
zations which had a part in water conveyance or delivery ; and
determining how much was delivered to farms, how much was lost
along the way, and how much was delivered for uses other than
irrigation of farm and ranch lands. The 1959 Census of Irriga-
tion did not ascertain data in respect to the conveyance loss and
use of water by an individual farmowner or operator.
The various organizations which depend on one another for the
receipt or delivery of water are referred to as "related organiza-
tions." They may be quite independent in ownership and man-
agement, but they are related in the sense that water is trans-
ferred from one organization to another as it moves from its
source to the individual user. These related organizations pre-
sent special problems in their enumeration. An organization
which operates facilities in more than one drainage basin also
presents problems for enumeration.
In the period since the first census of irrigation there have
been changes in the techniques and organization of irrigation
water supply, in the kind of information needed, and in the type
of data which can be reliably and economically obtained by cen-
sus procedures. In recognition of such changes, each census has
incorporated some modifications from its predecessor. The 1959
forms and procedures and the major changes made for the 1959
Census of Irrigation as compared with that of 1950, are outlined
in this section. The effect of these changes will be indicated in
more detail in the section on "Definitions and Explanations."
Organizations included. — For 1959 Census of Irrigation, an irri-
gation organization was defined as a group of two or more water
users, a company, or a governmental district or agency that
operated facilities to supply water for irrigation of farm and
ranch lands. It may have been either a formal, legal organiza-
tion or an informal or cooperative arrangement. The facilities
of an organization were not required to supply water directly to
farms but the water stored or conveyed had eventually to serve 2
INTRODUCTION
XVII
or more farms. The organizations enumerated in 105!) corre-
spond closely to the "multiple-farm enterprises" for the 1950
census.
In the 4050 and earlier censuses of irrigation, special question-
naires were also obtained for those farms which operated their
own supply works to bring water to the farm, either from nat-
ural sources or from a canal or pipeline of an irrigation organi-
zation (if located more than a mile from the farm boundary, or
if a pump were required to lift the water from an irrigation
canal to the farm). The 1950 questionnaire did not, however,
cover the process of conveying and distributing the water on the
individual farm. Thus, a farm which operated a pump to lift
water from an irrigational canal was regarded as an irrigation
enterprise for the supply of water to two or more farms, and a
special questionnaire was obtained. But a farm which received
water by gravity from a canal was not regarded as an irrigation
enterprise, even though it may have operated expensive works for
the distribution of water on the farm.
Elaborate facilities for distributing and applying irrigation
water on the farm are now more common than when the first
census of irrigation was taken, and thus there has been an in-
creasing investment by farmers in land leveling, distribution
systems, sprinklers, etc. From the point of view of the farm
economist or the equipment supplier, the facilities for the con-
veyance and application of water on the farm may be as important
as those operated to bring water to the farm. This fact has in-
fluenced the kind of information collected in the census of irriga-
tion. It has become more difficult for farmers and census
enumerators to report cost and other information for works
operated to bring water to the farm, separately from that for
facilities for distribution and application on the farm. This is
especially true when the same pump is used to obtain water from
a well or canal and also to provide pressure to pipelines or
sprinklers on the farm. However, the inclusion of on-the-farm-
Irrigation operations in the census of irrigation would greatly
increase the cost of data collection. In 1950 the collection of
298,000 questionnaires would have been required for coverage of
irrigation facilities on all irrigated farms in the 20 States. Be-
cause of costs, data on irrigation facilities on individual farms
were not collected in connection with the 1959 Census of
Irrigation.
As a result of the exclusion of irrigation enterprises providing
water to only one farm from the 1959 census, the definition of
water delivery by multiple-farm irrigation enterprises directly
to farms was altered for application in 1959. In the 1950 census,
if a farm operated more than a mile of canal, or if it used a pump
to bring water to the farm from a canal or pipe operated by a
multiple-farm irrigation enterprise, then the farm-operated supply
works were considered to be an irrigation enterprise apart from
the farm itself. In such a case the multiple-farm enterprise was
not considered to deliver water directly to a farm but rather to
another irrigation enterprise (a single-farm enterprise) which in
turn delivered water to the farm. In 1959, however, any delivery
by a multiple-farm enterprise to works operated by a single farm
was considered to be water delivered directly to a farm.
Because the 1959 Census of Irrigation was confined to irriga-
tion organizations, omitting individual farm water supply sys-
tems, Arkansas and Florida, which have few irrigation organiza-
tions, were not included in the census. These two States were
included in the 1960 Survey of Irrigation in Humid Areas.
Questionnaires. — Three questionnaires, designated I-d, 1-2, and
1-3, were used to enumerate irrigation organizations in the 1959
Census of Irrigation. Bach of these asked for essentially the
same kind of information. They differed only in their adapta-
tion to the peculiarities of the type of organization each was
designed to enumerate. The 1-1 form was used to enumerate
organizations which operated facilities within one drainage basin
and neither received any water from another organization nor
delivered water to another organization. The 1-2 questionnaire
was used to cover the operations of those organizations which
operated facilities entirely within one drainage basin but which
obtained part or all of their water from another organization
and/or delivered part or all of their water to another organiza-
tion. The 1-3 reporting form was utilized to enumerate orga-
nizations which operated facilities in more than one drainage
basin and also to enumerate some organizations which operated
large off-stream reservoirs. (Facsimile copies of these three ques-
tionnaires are included in the appendix.) Whenever irrigation
water was transferred in canals, pipes, or tunnels from one drain-
age basin to another, the organization in whose facilities it crossed
the boundary was considered as an interbasin organization.
The questionnaires contained inquiries to ascertain the legal
type of organization ; the number of water users served — farm,
residential, and others ; the number of acres served and the num-
ber of acres actually irrigated ; the amount of water obtained by
source ; the amount of water disposed of by type of disposition ;
whether or not the land served by the organization received
water from other sources ; and the amount of new capital invest-
ment since 1950. Other questions were included, some of which
enabled the enumerators to determine whether or not the organi-
zation reporting met the definition of an irrigation organization,
and some of which gave information useful in the checking of
other data reported on the questionnaires.
The 1-1 questionnaire did not include inquiries for reporting
deliveries of water to other organizations, although it did include
questions to determine whether or not such deliveries should
have been reported. The 1-1 questionnaire also made provision
for the respondent to report water quantities in units other than
acre-feet. The respondent could report either in volume units or
flow units in accordance with the way he kept his records or was
accustomed to measuring water.
The 1-2 questionnaire did provide inquiries to ascertain inter-
organization transfers. A separate worksheet was furnished the
enumerator for use in making entries on the 1-2 questionnaire
in converting water quantities reported in volume units other
than acre-feet, or in flow units, to acre-feet.
The 1-3 questionnaire used for the enumeration of all inter-
basin organizations, provided for the accounting of all water
obtained and disposed of by drainage basins. Transfers between
basins were reported. The 1-3 questionnaire was also used to
enumerate organizations which reported the use of off-stream
storage.
The questionnaires for the 1959 Census of Irrigation were pre-
pared by the Bureau of the Census. Two special committees pro-
vided advice and counsel. A Special Federal Agency Committee,
for the 1959 Censuses of Irrigation and Drainage, comprised rep-
resentatives of the following United States agencies: Agricul-
tural Conservation Service, Agricultural Research Service,
Rural Electrification Administration, and Soil Conservation
Service of the United States Department of Agriculture ; and the
Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Reclamation of the
United States Department of the Interior.
A second committee, the Special Advisory Committee for the
1959 Census of Agriculture, reviewed the later stages of the plan-
ning. This committee consisted of one representative from each
of the following : Agricultural Publishers Association ; American
Association of Land Grant Colleges and State Universities ; Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation ; American Farm Economic Associa-
tion ; American Statistical Association ; Farm Equipment Insti-
tute ; National Association of Commissioners, Secretaries, and
Directors of Agriculture ; National Council of Farmer Coopera-
tives ; National Farmers' Union ; National Grange : Rural Soci-
ological Society ; and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A
representative of the Bureau of the Budget was in attendance
at all meetings of this committee.

IRRIGATION OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
Enumerator drainage basin maps. — Inasmuch as census data
were to be published by drainage basins, it was important that
the drainage basin location of each irrigation organization be
determined. Each enumerator was supplied with a set of county
highway maps for his enumeration area, on which the boundaries
of the drainage basins had been traced. Each drainage basin
was given a code number. The 1950 drainage basin location of
each organization was provided to the enumerator on his control
list of organizations. As each organization was enumerated the
drainage basin location was checked on the maps. Steps, which
will be described later, were taken during the processing opera-
tions to provide the drainage basin location of organizations
submitting reports by mail.
The enumeration. — The enumeration of the irrigation organi-
zations, for the 1959 Census of Irrigation, was accomplished dur-
ing December 1959, and January, February, and March 1960. The
reports covered water supply activities during the 1959 calendar
year. In case water was delivered in the winter months, and
the organization's records were kept on a fiscal year basis, the
fiscal year figures were accepted if the fiscal year ended within
three months of the end of the 1959 calendar year. Data per-
taining to the expenditures for works and equipment were re-
ported for the ten-year period, January 1, 1950, through December
31, 1959.
Prior to the beginning of the enumeration, lists of irrigation
organizations were compiled from the records of the 1950 census
and from information supplied by the Bureau of Reclamation,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, and various State agencies. The
organizations were classified, on the basis of available informa-
tion, into interbasin organizations, interrelated organizations,
and nonrelated organizations. Interbasin organizations included
those with operations in more than one basin, interrelated or-
ganizations comprised those that received or delivered water to
another organization, and unrelated organizations included all
other organizations. The classification of individual organiza-
tions was made usually on the basis of information obtained
from the 1950 questionnaires.
Questionnaires were mailed to the nonrelated organizations
with a letter requesting that they be filled out and returned to
the Agriculture Operations Office of the Bureau of the Census in
Parsons, Kansas. Questionnaires were also mailed to interrelated
and interbasin organizations to give these organizations advance
notice of the enumeration and allow them sufficient time to pre-
pare the information for their reports before an enumerator
called.
The area of the 18 States in which the irrigation census was
conducted, was divided into 80 enumeration districts in accord-
ance with the number of organizations to be enumerated, the
distribution of the organizations, and travel conditions in the
area. Approximately 80 enumerators were selected from among
the crew leaders, who had worked on the 1959 Census of Agri-
culture. These enumerators were given a two-day training
course in irrigation enumeration procedures and in the use of
the irrigation questionnaires.
Each enumerator was given a "field control card" for each
organization to be enumerated in his area. These control cards
included those for all the interrelated organizations and also
those nonrelated organizations which had not submitted a report
by mail.
The enumerators were instructed to enumerate all the inter-
related organizations in their area, including any unlisted orga-
nizations which might be related to organizations they enumer-
ated, except interbasin organizations. Each enumerator was
notified of the receipt, by mail, of completed questionnaires from
the nonrelated organizations in his area. He was instructed to
enumerate all organizations for which he had not received such
a notice.
Three special enumerators were recruited for the enumeration
of all interbasin organizations. These enumerators were agri-
culture economists from the Land and Water Branch of the Farm
Economics Research Division, Agriculture Research Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture. They were trained by the irrigation
economist in charge of the census of irrigation.
Reports for projects operated by the Bureau of Reclamation
and the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the Department of the
Interior were prepared by the respective bureaus.
Special provision was made to insure the enumeration of irri-
gation organizations not on any control list. Each farm operator
who received irrigation water from an irrigation organization
was asked, on the 1959 Census of Agriculture questionnaire, to
report the name of the organization or organizations from which
water was received. During the processing of the census of
agriculture questionnaires, a transcription card was prepared the
first time each organization's name appeared. These cards were
checked against the listing of the organizations supplied to the
enumerators. Reports for unlisted organizations were obtained
either by mail or by the enumerators.
PROCESSING OPERATIONS
Completion of enumeration. — As irrigation questionnaires were
received by mail from the irrigation organization in the Agri-
culture Operations Office in Parsons, Kansas, the date of receipt
was posted on the control list for irrigation organizations. Like-
wise, as an enumerator completed his assignment in a county,
he forwarded the completed questionnaires to the same process-
ing center. A check was then made of the control list for the
county to ascertain the degree of completion of the enumeration
in the county.
Preliminary checking. — All irrigation questionnaires, whether
received directly from irrigation organizations or from enumera-
tors, were subjected to a preliminary checking to determine
whether or not they were satisfactorily filled. To be considered
satisfactory, dependance was placed primarily on the extent to
which "quantity of water" information was furnished in relation
to the number of acres served by the organization. If the organ-
ization served less than 500 acres, its report was considered
satisfactory when the number of acres irrigated and the number
of farm water users was reported and the source of water in-
dicated. If the organization served 500 or more acres, its report
was considered satisfactory only if the actual quantity of water
obtained was reported or if the report contained information
which would make possible a reasonably accurate estimate of the
quantity of water. The questionnaires of interrelated organiza-
tions were checked to make sure the interorganization transfer
quantities were in reasonable agreement.
Questionnaires which were considered unsatisfactory were re-
turned to the enumerator with a memorandum containing in-
structions for obtaining the additional information needed.
Editing and coding. — Each questionnaire was edited and coded
before the information was transferred to punchcards and tabu-
lated. The questionnaires were arranged for editing into 3
groups — nonrelated, interrelated, and interbasin.
Questionnaires which did not represent an irrigation organiza-
tion in accordance with the census definition were eliminated.
Questionnaires eliminated included those reporting organizations
providing water to less than 2 farms, reports for organizations
serving only residential water users, and reports for organizations
which did not operate water supply facilities in 1959.
In the editing process, all questionnaires were examined for
errors, omissions, and inconsistencies. Among the specific items
subjected to checking were the following :
a. Farm water users served : The relationship between number
of farm water users, the acres served, the area irrigated, and the
quantity of water delivered were checked to be sure they were
reasonable.
INTRODUCTION
XIX
b. Residential or other water users served : The number of resi-
dential or other water users was checked with the quantity of
water delivered to see that the relationship was reasonable.
c. Water obtained and disposed of: Checks were made to in-
sure that the quantity of water received was equal to the quantity
of water disposed of.
d. Conveyance loss : A report regarding conveyance loss was
necessary unless a satisfactory explanation was given as to why
there was no conveyance loss.
Obvious errors in calculations and in units of measure and
misplaced entries were corrected as found. Entries not clearly
legible were rewritten. Questionnaires containing major incon-
sistencies and omissions were referred to irrigation technician
for review. The technician corrected the questionnaires, either
on the basis of information reported for other organizations in
the area or on the basis of additional information received in
response to letters directed to the organization.
A water quantity reported in a unit, other than acre-feet, was
converted to acre-feet. Estimates for quantity of water were
made when required for organizations which reported less than
500 acres of land irrigated. These estimates were made on the
basis of information rei>orted for other organizations of similar
type in the area. In the case of the interrelated organizations,
interorganization transfers of water were compared and dis-
crepancies corrected. Discrepancies of less than 300 acre-feet
between reports of two interrelated organizations were corrected
by the clerks, in accordance with the following rules :
1. If only one organization reported the transfer of water, the
transfer was cancelled and the other figures in the questionnaire
were adjusted to make water obtained equal to water disposed of.
2. If both organizations reported the transfer but the amounts
differed by a quantity of less than 300 acre-feet and one of the
organizations reported measuring its water while the other did
not, the report of the organization making measurements was ac-
cepted. If neither organization measured the water, each report
was adjusted by an amount equal to one-half the difference.
Discrepancies between the reports of two interrelated organiza-
tions of 300 or more acre-feet, for water transferred, were re-
ferred to an irrigation technician. Discrepancies of 300 to 999
acre-feet were corrected by the technician on the basis of other
information on the questionnaires. In all cases of discrepancies
of 1,000 acre-feet or more, letters were sent to the respondents
of both organizations pointing out that a discrepancy did exist
although not revealing the quantity and asking that the reported
figures be reviewed, and any necessary corrections be made. In
nearly all cases the replies to these letters contained information
which made possible the correction of the two reports.
The drainage basin location of organizations which reported
by mail was supplied on the basis of information from the 1950
irrigation questionnaires. For organizations which were not
enumerated in 1950, or for which there was any question about
the drainage basin in which located, the information given on
the questionnaire as to the location of the sources of water, or
the land irrigated, was checked against the drainage basin maps
to determine the drainage basin in which the organization was
located.
The questionnaires of all interbasin organizations were edited
and coded by irrigation technicians, in accordance with the same
rules used for questionnaires for interrelated organizations. To
facilitate tabulations, a questionnaire was prepared for each
basin. Thus, if an organization operated in three drainage
basins, three questionnaires were prepared, one for each basin
in which it operated.
During the coding operation each irrigation organization was
assigned a code to indicate (1) drainage basin in which located,
(2) the legal type of organization, (3) whether or not water
from other sources was used on the same land served by the
irrigation organization, and (4) the amount of water delivered
to farm users per acre irrigated by the organization.
Tabulation of data. — After the questionnaires were edited and
coded, the information was punched into tabulating cards. One
card only was required for each questionnaire. A tabulation
was made for each individual drainage basin. Totals were
obtained for the additive information on the cards for each
drainage 'basin. This tabulation was examined by the irrigation
technician for reasonableness and consistency. After the review
and correction of this tabulation another tabulation was made,
by type of organization for submajor drainage basins ami States.
This tabulation was reviewed for reasonableness and consistency,
before the remaining tabulations were made.
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
The definitions and explanations which follow relate mostly to
those 1959 items considered to be inadequately described in the
tables.
Irrigation defined. — The term "irrigation," as herein used, re-
fers to the application of water, by artificial means, to land
being used for agricultural purposes. These artificial means
include subirrigation as well as application of water to the ground
surface either by general flooding, by basins, and by furrows, or
less directly through the use of sprinklers.
Irrigated land. — Irrigated land includes any land in farms
(and ranches) to which water was applied in the year covered
by the enumeration. Irrigation may have been used for produc-
ing a harvested crop, for pasture or grazing lands, for cultivated
summer fallow, or for land planted to a crop intended for future
harvest. Land flooded for rice cultivation was considered as
irrigated. Land flooded during high water periods was to be
included as irrigated only if water was diverted to agricultural
lands by dams, canals, or other works. The definition of irri-
gated land specifically excluded land where the water table or
the natural level of the ground water was controlled by drainage
works with no additional water brought in by canals or pipes.
Census definition of a farm. — For the 1959 Census of Agricul-
ture, the definition of a farm was based primarily on a combina-
tion of "acres in the place" and the estimated value of agricul-
tural products sold.
The word "place" was defined to include all land under the
control or supervision of one person or partnership at the time
of enumeration and on which agricultural operations were con-
ducted at any time in 1959. (For definition of "agricultural
operations," see p. ix of the Introduction to volume II of the re-
ports for the 1959 Census of Agriculture. ) Control may have been
exercised through ownership or management ; or through a
lease, rental, or cropping arrangement.
Places of 10 or more acres in 1959 were counted as farms if the
estimated sales of agricultural products for the year amounted to
at least $50. Places of less than 10 acres in 1959 were counted
as farms if the estimated sales of agricultural products for the
year amounted to at least $250. Places not meeting the minimum
estimated level of sales in 1959 were nevertheless counted as
farms if they could normally be expected to produce agricultural
products in sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of the
definition. This additional qualification resulted in the inclusion
as farms of some places that were engaged in farming opera-
tions for the first time in 1959, as well as places affected by crop
failure or other unusual conditions.
Land in farms according to use. — Land in farms was classified
according to the use made of it in 1959. The acreage in each
farm was allocated among the various land-use categories only
once, and any acreage that had two or more uses during the year
was classified according to its most important use.
Cropland harvested. — This includes land from which crops
were harvested; land from which hay (including wild hay)
was cut ; and land in small fruits, orchards, vineyards, nurseries,
and greenhouses. Land from which two or more crops were
harvested was to be counted only once. The entry for cropland
XX
IRRIGATION OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
harvested was obtained directly from the farm operator and
then verified by the census enumerator by adding the acreages of
each crop reported and subtracting from this total the acres of
land from which two or more crops were harvested. This check-
ing was repeated during the office processing for farms with 100
or more acres of cropland harvested. The enumerator was di-
rected to list only under "Cropland harvested" any acreage that
had additional uses during the year. For instance, any land from
which hay was cut was classified as cropland harvested, regard-
less of the use of land for grazing later in the year.
Cropland used only for pasture. — The enumerator was in-
structed to include all land used only for pasture or grazing
that could have been used for crops without additional im-
provement, and all land planted to crops that were hogged off,
pastured, or grazed before reaching maturity. In the census
of 1954 the enumerators were instructed to report rotation pasture
and all other cropland used only for pasture as cropland used
only for pasture.
Cropland not harvested and not pastured. — This class includes
cultivated summer fallow, cropland used only for soil-improvement
crops, land on which crops failed, land planted to crops /or
harvest after the year covered by the census, and idle cropland.
The data for this class for 1959 were obtained through the use
of two inquiries in some States and three in other States as
follows :
Cultivated summer fallow. — This land use was obtained for
the 17 Western States in the conterminous United States. The
acreage of cultivated summer fallow is negligible in those States
where the inquiry was not included on the questionnaire. For
the censuses of 1959, 1954, and 1950, cultivated summer fallow
was defined as cropland that was plowed and cultivated but left
unseeded to control weeds and conserve moisture. Separate data
are not available for 1945 and earlier censuses.
Cropland used only for soil-improvement crops. — Only land
used for cover crops, to control erosion or to be plowed under for
green manure and planted to another crop, fell into this category.
A large proportion of this land was covered by contracts of the
Soil Bank. The enumerator was cautioned not to include land
from which crops were harvested in the census year or land that
was pastured or grazed. There was no separate inquiry for
Alaska and Hawaii. In these two States cropland used only for
soil-improvement purposes was included under other cropland
not harvested and not pastured.
Other cropland not harvested and not pastured. — All cropland
except cropland harvested, cropland in cultivated summer fallow,
cropland pastured, and land used only for soil-improvement crops
was included in this land-use class. This total included all acre-
age on which crops failed because of drought, floods, insects, etc. ;
acreage not harvested because of low prices or labor shortage;
acreage not harvested but occupied by growing crops intended
for harvest in later years ; acreage which had been plowed, and
could be plowed again without first clearing away brush, but
which had been idle for one or more years.
Woodland pastured. — This includes all woodland that was used
for pasture or grazing during the census year. According to
instructions, woodland refers to woodlots and timber tracts,
natural or planted.
Woodland not pastured. — The enumerator was instructed to
include in this category land in the Soil Bank planted to trees.
Other pasture. — All land, other than woodland and cropland,
used for pasture or grazing was designated other pasture.
Improved pasture. — A pasture that had been limed, fertilized,
seeded, irrigated, drained, or cleared of weeds or brush was to
be considered improved pasture.
All other land. — This item refers to all land not included in
any of the preceding land-use items and includes land occupied
by a house or other buildings ; lanes, roads, and ditches ; and land
area of ponds and wasteland. Unusually large tracts of other
land held primarily for purposes other than agriculture were
excluded from the tabulations.
In summary tables 6 and 11, the "total acres irrigated in census
year" is shown for 1959 and 1949. The 1959 data were obtained
in the general census of agriculture while those for 1949 were ob-
tained in the 1950 Census of Irrigation. The most useful com-
parison of drainage basin totals was made possible only by using
data from the two sources. Data in respect to the number of
irrigated farms and acreage of irrigated land collected in the
census of agriculture are more accurate than those collected in
the census of irrigation. The 1950 Census of Agriculture data
were not apportioned to drainage basins. However, the 1950
Census of Irrigation acreages, throu?'' a process of reconciliation,
were brought into reasonable agreement with the 1950 Census of
Agriculture irrigated acreage. ( See page XXIV for a discussion
of the method used in 1950 to reconcile census of irrigation data
with similar data gathered in the census of agriculture. See also
"Area reported irrigated by organizations" on page XXI.) The
State totals for 1959 correspond with those reported in volume
I of the reports for the 1959 Census of Agriculture.
Irrigated farms. — All farms with any land irrigated in 1959
are counted as irrigated farms. The extent of irrigation on any
particular farm could have ranged from an adequate and timely
supply of water for all crops and pasture to an inadequate supply
of water with the result that the crop irrigated was not worth
harvesting or it was harvested for a purpose different than the
purpose for which it was planted.
If, from the total number of irrigated farms, as shown in sum-
mary table 1, the number of farms reporting irrigated cropland
harvested is subtracted, the resulting difference represents those
irrigated farms which had no irrigated harvested crops. These
farms could have had irrigated pasture (any kind of pasture land
which was not used for crop production in the census year), land
planted to an irrigated crop intended for future harvest, land in
cultivated summer fallow, land which was irrigated in the census
year and was being prepared for seeding a crop for harvest in a
later year, and land in a crop which was irrigated in the census
year but which was a complete failure.
Irrigation organization. — An irrigation organization is a busi-
ness comprising a group of two or more water users, a company,
a corporation, or a governmental district or agency that operates
facilities to supply water for the irrigation of farm and ranch
lands. It may be either a formal, legal organization or an in-
formal or cooperative arrangement. To be included in the census
of irrigation two or more farm water users had to be served by
the water which was stored or conveyed by trie facilities of an
organization but these water users did not have to be served di-
rectly. Thus, if a storage reservoir released water into a stream
channel which was picked up downstream by another organiza-
tion which served two or more farms, the organization which
owned the reservoir qualified as an irrigation organization.
Likewise, if all the water of one organization was received into
facilities of another organization, both were included as irriga-
tion organizations provided two or more farm water users were
served. In the first example, the reservoir would be included as
an organization which did not convey water.
An organization was included in the census, if any of the water
stored or conveyed in its facilities was used for farm irrigation
even though irrigation was not the main purpose of the organiza-
tion. Organizations which did not operate water supply works,
in 1959. because of water shortage or other reasons were not
included.
An irrigation system operated by a single farm primarily to
supply water for that farm was not counted as an irrigation
organization, though it may have supplied water to one or more
other farms. (In 1950, a total of 105,254 single-farm irrigation
enterprises were reported in the 18 irrigation States, and they sup-
plied water to 7,125 other farms. ) However, if a ditch, pump, or
other works which supplied water to two or more farms (or water
users) was operated as a cooperative undertaking of two or more
farmers or water users, it was included as an irrigation organi-
zation. The determination as to whether a small irrigation
system serving two water users is operated by one of them or by
both jointly is difficult in some cases, particularly if the two
water users have such relationships as landlord and tenant, or
father and son. The determination of whether the persons pro-
viding water to two or more water users qualified as an irriga-
tion organization may not always be made in a uniform basis
from census to census ; and thus, part of the change in the number
of irrigation organizations may be the result of differences in
determination of whether the organization meets the criteria
INTRODUCTION
XXI
for inclusion in the census of irrigation. Changes in the number
of organizations from census to census may arise from changes
in the number of farm operators for the same land irrigated
without any change in water supply facilities. For example, an
irrigated tract of land may comprise three farms for one census
and only one farm at another census because of the consolidation
of farms:
Only organizations which divert, pump, store, or convey water
used, at least in part, for irrigation are included. Water-user
organizations which provide information or technical assistance
and which represent the interest of water users, promote water
development, etc., but do not operate any water supply facilities
are excluded.
Many of the larger irrigation organizations deliver water by
main supply canals to lateral ditches which are maintained by
the water users served. The water users on each lateral may be
more or less formally organized to perform any maintenance
work required, or to hire such work performed. In some areas,
it is the custom for each water user, individually, to maintain
the portion of the ditch adjoining his property, without any joint
action by the water users as a group. In most cases payments
to the main supply organization are made by the water users
individually, while in others a lateral organization makes the
payment. The instructions to enumerators in 1939 provided that
a group of water users operating a lateral ditch were to be
counted as a separate organization if either ( a ) water was ob-
tained from more than one source — that is, from another orga-
nization, or directly from a natural source as well as from another
organization — or (b) the group collected payments from water
users. If all water was obtained from another organization, and
no cash payments were collected by the lateral, then the lateral
was not to be considered as a separate organization and the
water users and land were considered to be served directly by
the organization from which the water was obtained.
The procedure for counting laterals did not affect the total
acreage reported as irrigated by irrigation organizations al-
though, in some areas, it may have affected significantly the
number of mutual unincorporated organizations counted and the
acreage served directly by each type of organization. If an irri-
gation district supplied water to laterals operated as unincor-
porated mutual organizations, the water users and land were
tabulated as served directly by mutuals. If the laterals did not
qualify as separate irrigation organizations, however, the water
users and land were considered to be served directly by the
irrigation organization delivering the water. These same criteria
for the enumeration of laterals were generally followed for the
1950 census.
The definition of "irrigation organization" used for the 1959
census is essentially the same as that of "multiple-farm enter-
prise" used in the 1950 census.
Farm area reported served by organizations. — Farm area served
is defined as the area for which farm water users were entitled
to receive water in 1959. Land which may have been irrigated
in some year previous to 1959. but was not irrigated in 1959, was
to be included.
Area reported irrigated by organizations. — Each irrigation or-
ganization was asked to report the number of acres actually irri-
gated in 1959 with water from the organization. Acres irrigated
were counted only for the organizations delivering water directly
to farm distribution systems. Land eligible to receive water di-
rectly (i.e., delivered to farm distribution systems from two
organizations) was reported by each, however, and hence is
counted twice. The total acres irrigated, as reported by irriga-
tion organizations, often provides an overstatement of the acres
actually irrigated. Although defined the same as acres irrigated
by multiple-farm enterprises in 1950, the figures reported in
the 1959 Census of Irrigation are not strictly comparable with
those shown for the 1950 Census of Irrigation because the check-
ing of reports for the 1950 Censuses of Irrigation and Agriculture
resulted in the elimination of most of the overstatement of the
acres irrigated by irrigation organizations for 1950.
Water users served, total. — A water user is defined as any
person or organization, which received water for use on a farm,
in a business, or in or around a home. Organizations reporting
by mail were not provided with a definition ; therefore, the num-
ber of water users reported depends on the interpretation of
"water user" by the organization.
Farm irrigation water users. — A farm irrigation water user is
one who received water for irrigation and who had ten or more
acres of land from which in 1959 at least, $50 worth of agricul-
tural products were sold, or if he had less than 10 acres at least
$250 worth of agricultural products were sold in that year. Users
having smaller acreages of land or smaller sales were counted as
residential or other water users. This definition was provided
only to irrigation enumerators, and was not given to irrigation
organizations submitting reports by mail. Although the defini-
tion corresponds to that of a census farm, it was recognized that
irrigation organizations would be unable to determine which of
the water users met the criteria, especially if the service area
included many small tracts. Moreover, in some cases, a water
user as shown by the records of the irrigation organization, may
rent or lease all the acreage he controls to another person and
hence not qualify as a census farm for the census of agriculture.
The number of farm water users, as obtained in the census of
irrigation, often exceeds the number of farms receiving water
from irrigation organizations, as reported in the 1959 Census
of Agriculture.
Residential water users. — A residential or domestic water user
is one who received water for household use and/or to water
lawns, flowers, shrubs, and vegetable gardens, but who did not
sell enough products to qualify as a farm.
Other water users. — Other water users include industrial plants ;
recreational activities , such as golf courses ; public institutions :
etc.
Source of water. — The basic data in regard to irrigation water
supplies — from either ground or surface sources — was obtained in
the 1959 Census of Agriculture. The agriculture questionnaire
contained an inquiry regarding the proportion of the irrigation
water used on each farm from ground-water, surface-water, and
irrigation-organization sources. Ground-water sources include
wells (pumped or flowing) and springs; surface-water sources
include streams, lakes, reservoirs, and sewage and drainage
ditches. The percentages reported for each source were multi-
plied by the total area irrigated on each farm, during the office
processing of the agricultural questionnaires. An allocation, be-
tween ground- and surface-water sources, was made of the water
received by farms directly from irrigation organizations. This
was accomplished as follows :
1. The irrigated acreage computed for ground, surface, and
irrigation-organization sources as shown by the census of agri-
culture was totaled for each county.
2. The quantity of water received from ground and surface
sources as reported by irrigation organizations was tabulated
for each drainage basin.
3. The calculated acres of land irrigated by irrigation organiza-
tions as shown by data from the census of agriculture was placed
on a map with county and drainage basin boundaries. If the
county were entirely within a drainage basin, then the acres irri-
gated from ground and surface sources by irrigation organizations
were allocated by multiplying the acres irrigated by the percent-
age of water irrigation organizations obtained from ground and
surface sources in the drainage basin. If only a part of a county-
were in a drainage basin, then the acres irrigated by water from
irrigation organizations as shown for the census of agriculture
were allocated to each drainage basin on the basis of total acres
irrigated by water from irrigation organizations for the minor
civil divisions or other county subdivisions comprising the part of
XXII
IRRIGATION OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
the county within the drainage basin to the acres irrigated by
water from irrigation organizations. The acreage irrigated
by water from ground and surface sources was calculated for
each drainage basin part of the county in the same way as for
counties entirely within a drainage basin.
4. The total acreage irrigated by water from ground and sur-
face sources was obtained by adding the calculated acreage for
the counties and parts of counties comprising the drainage basin.
5. Totals for the acres irrigated by water from farm sources,
by ground and surface sources were also obtained for each drain-
age basin by adding the data for the census of agriculture for the
counties and parts of counties comprising the drainage basin.
When only part of a county was within a drainage basin, the
acres irrigated by water from farm sources, was obtained by
totaling the acres irrigated for the minor civil division or other
county subdivisions in the drainage basin.
6. To obtain totals for acres irrigated by water from ground
and from surface sources, totals for water obtained from farm
sources were added to the corresponding totals for water obtained
from irrigation organization sources.
A conveyance system comprises the canals, pipes, and tunnels
of an organization constructed to carry water from one place to
another. It does not include drainage ditches not operated as
water supply canals, nor reservoirs, nor stream channels.
Water delivered by an irrigation organization, to a water user
or to another irrigation organization, means water which
flowed from a canal, pipe, or reservoir operated by one organi-
zation directly into a canal, pipe, or reservoir operated by a
water user or another organization. Water released to a natural
stream channel for diversion by a water user or another organiza-
tion downstream was not considered a delivery by the orga-
nization releasing the water ; it was considered as spillback.
Quantity of water is given in the tables in acre-feet An acre-
foot of water is the quantity sufficient to cover 1 acre to a depth
of 1 foot, or a total of 43,560 cubic feet. Quantities of water
reported on the questionnaires in units other than acre-feet were
converted to acre-feet.
Drainage basin is the area of land from which water flows
into a given stream, lake, or other body of water or into a nat-
ural depression. Drainage basins from which water does not flow
into streams that lead to the ocean are termed "independent
basins."
The drainage basins for which data from the 1959 census have
been tabulated are essentially the same as those used in 1950.
Before enumeration, these maps were reviewed by field offices of
the United States Geological Survey or United States Army
Corps of Engineers. Some changes were made for 1959 in the
drainage basin boundaries used in 1950 in order to conform more
closely with the drainage basin boundaries used by other govern-
ment agencies and with stream-gaging stations.
Water conveyed represents the net quantity of water entering
the conveyance systems operated by irrigation organizations in
each of the designated drainage basins. The quantities re-
ported are "net" in that (1) water transferred from one irriga-
tion organization to another is counted only once; and (2) water
released from conveyance systems of irrigation organizations to
reservoirs, streams, or drainage ditches or for ground-water
recharge is not included. The figures include water conveyed
only for withdrawal uses. They, therefore, do not include water
used or released for navigation, fish and wildlife, pollution con-
trol, or hydroelectric power generation in the same drainage
basin. (These uses were included in the 1950 Census of Irriga-
tion and account for most of the water then reported for uses
other than irrigation in 1950.)
Conveyed water from surface sources within basin. — Surface
sources of water include streams, lakes, reservoirs, and sewage
and drainage ditches. Surface water, obtained from natural
sources by organizations, represents the amount by which irriga-
tion organizations reduced the supplies of surface water in a
particular drainage basin. Water obtained from another basin
released for any reason to surface sources from the conveyance
system of an irrigation organization (considered to be a negative
withdrawal) was subtracted from the amount withdrawn from
surface sources in the drainage basin where the water is released.
When the figures for all organizations in a basin were combined,
the amount of such surface water diversions usually exceeded the
amount of interbasin water transfers released to streams. How-
ever, in some basins the quantity of water transferred from other
basins and released to streams was greater than the total surface
diversions in the basin by the irrigation organizations in the
basin, and in such cases, the quantity of water appears in the
table as a negative number.
Water entering conveyance systems. — The total water entering
conveyance systems in a drainage basin includes the quantity
obtained from natural sources in the basin plus water received
from other basins. The total water conveyed is shown in acre-
feet.
Conveyed water from ground sources within basin. — Ground-
water sources relate to wells (pumped or flowing) and water
taken directly from springs. The amount of ground water rep-
resents the quantity taken from ground-water sources in each
basin by irrigation organizations. In 1950, ground-water sources
were defined to include only pumped wells.
Release of water from reservoirs. — Releases of water from res-
ervoirs were reported as surface water only if water were diverted
into a canal or piped directly from the reservoir itself. Releases
from a reservoir to a stream channel for any purpose were not
included. If water released by a reservoir were diverted from the
stream below the reservoir the quantity reported as received was
the amount diverted from the stream, not the amount released
from the reservoir. The point of diversion was taken as the loca-
tion at which the water entered the conveyance system and this
could have been in a drainage basin other than the drainage
basin in which the reservoir was located. The quantities of
water delivered, conveyance loss, etc., in the tables, therefore, do
not include reservoir inflows, releases, evaporation from reser-
voirs, nor changes during the year in the amount of water held
in storage.
The quantity of water received for an organization operating
a reservoir for storage purposes represented the amount of water
entering the conveyance system plus the conveyance losses from
the canal or conveyance system that conveyed the water into the
reservoir. Thus water received does not include any allowance
for changes in the amount of water in the reservoir nor for losses
in the reservoir.
Water from other organizations in the basin. — The amount of
water received from other irrigation organizations in the basin
represents the quantity of water received into the conveyance
systems of irrigation organizations from the conveyance system
of other irrigation organizations in the same drainage basin.
Water from natural sources within basin. — This is the sum of
the water withdrawn within the basin from surface- and ground-
water sources.
Water from another drainage basin. — This represents the quan-
tity of water conveyed into the drainage basin from an adjoining
basin in a canal, pipeline, or tunnel operated by an irrigation
organization. It includes the quantity of water which flowed
across the basin boundary in irrigation conveyance systems, re-
gardless of the use of that water. It does not include water flow-
ing from one drainage basin to another in streams or drainage
ditches.
Total water leaving conveyance systems. — The total water leav-
ing conveyance systems of organizations is equal to the total
water entering the conveyance systems of the organizations in a
drainage basin.
INTRODUCTION
XXIII
Water delivered to farm irrigation water users represents the
quantity of water which was delivered at the turnouts to in-
dividual irrigated farms. Any water delivered to farm irrigators
and used for livestock or other nonirrigation purposes is also in-
cluded, but the quantity of water used for these purposes
represents a very small part of the total water delivered.
Water' delivered to residential water users is the amount of
water delivered by irrigation organizations to individual water
users for household use and for watering lawns, flower gardens,
vegetable gardens, etc. It does not include water delivered to
urban water-supply systems.
Water delivered for other uses includes any water delivered by
an irrigation organization other than water delivered (a) to
farm irrigation water users, (b) to individual residential water
users, and (c) to other irrigation organizations. It includes
water delivered to municipal and suburban water systems not
delivering any water for farm irrigation ; water delivered for
industrial uses; water delivered to farms which used water for
• livestock or other nonirrigation uses only ; and water conveyed
for ground-water recharge. Water for other uses does not in-
clude water used for hydroelectric power generation only, or to
maintain stream flow, for navigation, fish and wildlife protection,
or for pollution control.
Water delivered to other irrigation organizations represents the
amount of water conveyed from a pipe, canal, or reservoir oper-
ated by one irrigation organization into a pipe, canal, or reservoir
operated by another irrigation organization, at points within the
drainage basin. The amounts are the same as the quantities
reported as received from other irrigation organizations in the
same basin.
Water delivered for use in the basin is the sum of deliveries at
points within the basin to farm irrigation water users, residential
water users, and for other uses.
Water conveyed to another drainage basin is the amount of
water conveyed from the drainage basin into an adjoining basin
or basins, in the conveyance systems of irrigation organizations.
The amount flowing across a drainage basin boundary in the
conveyance system of irrigation organizations is counted regard-
less of its use. The disposition of such water is accounted for in
the basin to which it was conveyed.
The figures are identical to those given under "Water con-
veyed from another drainage basin" but tabulated under the
basin from which the water was conveyed. The lines in State
table 1, entitled "Prom drainage basin number" and "To drain-
age basin number," together with the footnotes referring to
those lines show the drainage basins involved in the interbasin
transfers.
Conveyance loss in basin.— Conveyance loss is the amount of
water lost from evaporation, seepage, and wastage not returned
in canals or pipes to streams associated with the conveyance of
water during the year in the canals and conveyance systems
operated by irrigation organizations between natural sources and
points of delivery to water users. Conveyance loss does not in-
clude losses from reservoirs, or in natural stream channels, or
water released for any reason to streams or reservoirs. Losses
in the distribution systems of the water users are not included.
The average delivery per acre is given separately for organiza-
tions, which did not report water from other sources used on
the same land, and for those which did report water from
other sources used on the same land. The organizations which
did not report water from other sources used on the same land
were classified according to the acre-feet of water delivered per
acre irrigated, in order to provide more accurate data on the
quantity of water used per acre. The classification of organiza-
tions operating in more than one basin was made on the basis
of acre-feet of water delivered per acre irrigated for the entire
organization rather than just the part within the drainage basin.
New capital investment, 1950-1959. — New capital investment
represents the amount spent by irrigation organizations for addi-
tional new works and equipment for irrigation and drainage
from January 1, 1900, to December 31, 1959. It includes expendi-
tures for new construction, enlargement or improvement of
works, or for purchase of additional new equipment. It includes
only that portion of the cost of multiple-purpose works charge-
able to the irrigation and drainage of farm and ranch lands, and
the portion financed by the irrigation organization of the cost of
works built jointly with another organization. It does not in-
clude expenditures for repairs and replacements, operation and
maintenance, payment for works constructed before 1950, pur-
chase of water rights, land, or stock or shares in another organ-
ization, or contracts or repayment for the purchase of works
constructed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation or by any other
irrigation organization. For new irrigation organizations with
irrigation works under construction, the amount spent on both
the completed and uncompleted parts of the works from January
1, 1950, to December 31, 1959, were included. However, new
capital investments for any organizations that did not deliver
water in 1959 were not included.
Each organization was asked to report only its expenditures
for works and equipment by itself and not to include expenditures
made by any other organization on works which the organiza-
tion operated in 1959. In the case of works built by the Bureau
of Reclamation but now operated by water users organizations,
the amount of the expenditures made by the Bureau of Reclama-
tion on the project from January 1, 1950, to December 31, 1959,
was obtained from the bureau and included with the expenditures
of the water users organizations. In summary table 18, ex-
penditures made by the Bureau of Reclamation are shown
separately from those made by other organizations.
For interbasin organizations the new capital investment was
tabulated for the drainage basin in which the investment was
made.
Type of organization. — The types of organization under which
the data are classified are as follows :
Mutual or cooperative organizations. — Mutual or cooperative
organizations are private (nongovernmental) organizations con-
trolled or operated by two or more water users primarily to sup-
ply water to their own farms. They do not include district en-
terprises organized under special State laws. They do not have
the power to levy taxes and they are operated for the benefit of
water users rather than for the profit of owners. If 50 percent
or more of the acreage irrigated was not in the farms of the
water users who controlled and operated the enterprise, the
organization was classified as "commercial." Mutual or cooper-
ative organizations include partnerships of two or more farms
which operate irrigation supply works or equipment ; groups of
water users informally associated under verbal or written agree-
ments; mutual irrigation or water companies; water users asso-
ciations ; "lateral" companies ; community ditches or "acequias"
organized originally in accordance with old Spanish, Mexican, or
Indian customs. Mutual or cooperative organizations may be
either unincorporated or incorporated.
District organizations. — District organizations are public corpo-
rations established under special State laws to serve particular
purposes. A district organization may serve purposes other than
irrigation of farm lands and may be known under a variety of
names other than "irrigation district," such as conservancy dis-
trict, water improvement district, water storage district, and
State reclamation district. Reclamation districts organized un-
der State laws should not be confused with the United States
Bureau of Reclamation projects.
XXIV
IRRIGATION OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
United States Bureau of Reclamation organizations. — As the
name implies, United States Bureau of Reclamation organizations
include the projects operated by the United States Bureau of
Reclamation. If the operation of works constructed by the Bu-
reau of Reclamation had been transferred entirely to a water-
users organization, the organization was classified according to
the successor type of water-users organization such as district
or mutual. If part of the works of the irrigation project were
operated by the Bureau of Reclamation and part by a water-
users organization, the parts operated by each were reported as
separate organizations. In summary tables 10 and 17, data
for United States Bureau of Reclamation constructed projects
transferred to water users for operation are shown separately.
The data for these projects are also included with the type
of organization in which the water-user organization was classi-
fied in 1959. The purpose for presenting these data separately
is to give, as nearly as possible, complete information for all
irrigation organizations built by the Bureau of Reclamation.
United States Bureau of Indian Affairs organizations. — These
are organizations which were operated by the United States
Bureau of Indian Affairs of the United States Department of
the Interior.
Commercial organizations are privately operated organizations
(by individuals, partnerships, or corporations) with 50 percent
or more of the acreage irrigated in farms of water users who do
not share in the control and operation of the organization. In
some cases, commercial organizations are public utilities regu-
lated by a State commission or by the governing board of a county.
State organizations are those operated by a State agency of
any kind.
City or town organizations are those operated by municipalities
usually in combination with a domestic water-supply system. If
a city or town water-supply organization supplied water for the
irrigation of 100 or more acres of agricultural land, it was enum-
erated as an irrigation organization.
Irrigation organizations by type of service provides a classi-
fication of organization by the extent to which water was con-
veyed by more than one organization between its diversion from
a natural source and its delivery to individual water users. The
irrigation organizations are classified according to the origin of
water conveyed by the organization — that is, (1) all water from
ground and surface sources only, (2) all water from irrigation
organizations, (3) all water from ground and surface sources,
and (4) organizations which conveyed no water in 1959. Orga-
nizations which conveyed no water in 1959 are those which oper-
ated reservoirs but not conveyance facilities.
Total water conveyed was obtained by adding together the
amount of water obtained from surface- and ground-water sources
and the amount received from other organizations. This proce-
dure, therefore, caused a double counting of the water obtained
from the other organizations if the water were included in the
total conveyed by the receiving organization.
Because of the method of handling interorganization transfers
released to streams, and organizations receiving water from other
organizations and releasing part or all of the water to natural
stream channels, negative quantities appear for the quantity
of water "From surface and ground water sources," when the
amount of water released to streams exceeds the quantity of
water taken from sources within the basin or State.
Water from other sources. — The purpose of the question "Was
any water from other sources or other organizations also used
in 1959 to irrigate the same farm and ranch lands to which
water was delivered by this organization?" was to provide a basis
for selecting organizations which furnished all the water for
irrigating farm and ranch lands in order to make tabulations of
acres irrigated and water use for such organizations. The
classification of organizations by acre-feet of water used per acre
was made only for those organizations reporting that they pro-
vided all the water used by the farms they served.
Size or organization. — Data are presented for three measures
of the size of irrigation organizations. These measures are
number of farm irrigation water users served directly, number
of acre-feet of water delivered directly to farms, and number of
acre-feet of water conveyed.
In the case of organizations operating in more than one drain-
age basin, all measures of size relate to operations of the irriga-
tion organization in all basins rather than to the operations
within one drainage basin.
Comparability of data for prior censuses and for the census of
agriculture. — The comparability of data for the various censuses
of irrigation have been affected by changes in definitions and
procedures. The data for the census of irrigation and the census
of agriculture are not fully comparable, because of differences in
definition and the extent of reconciliation made in reports for
the two censuses. The following discussion relates to most of
the important differences in comparability.
Quantity of water by drainage basins, 1959 and 1950. — In 1959,
a report was obtained for each irrigation organization for the
quantity of water delivered to farm water users for each drain-
age basin. For 1950, data were not obtained from each irrigation
organization for each drainage basin for the quantity of water
delivered to farms. In 1950, irrigation organizations operating
in more than one county or drainage basin reported 47 percent of
all water delivered to farms and other irrigation organizations.
For these organizations the quantity of water delivered to farms
was allocated to drainage basins in proportion to the acreage irri-
gated by such organizations in each drainage basin. In 1950, no
allocation was made by drainage basins of the quantity of water
obtained from ground and surface sources, the quantity of water
lost in conveyance, and the quantity delivered to other irrigation
organizations. In the drainage basins, where a substantial part
of the water is obtained from sources outside the drainage basin,
the data for 1959 and 1950 are not fully comparable.
Farms or farm water users supplied by irrigation organizations
and the number of farms reporting water received from irrigation
organizations. — An examination of data for the number of water
users or farms provided with irrigation water as reported by
irrigation organizations and the number of farms receiving water
from irrigation organizations for the census of agriculture indi-
cates that the data from the two sources are not comparable.
For example, for 1959, the number of farm water users as re-
ported by irrigation organizations for the 18 States was 3S3.654.
The number of farms reporting water received from irrigation
organizations as shown by the census of agriculture for the 18
States was 153,704. In many cases, irrigation organizations
count as the number of farm users, the number of stockholders,
the number of ownership units, the number of persons paying
bills, or the number of tracts eligible to receive water as the num-
ber of farm water users. When two or more irrigation organi-
zations furnish water to the same water user, the water user is
counted by each organization supplying the water. Undoubtedly
some of the farm water users reported by irrigation organizations
were landlords not operating a farm. In the census of agricul-
ture, one farm operator often operates several tracts and rents
land from several owners, or obtains water from more than one
irrigation organization. In the census of agriculture, such a
farm operation is counted as one farm. On the other hand in
the census of irrigation, each owner of land or tract may be
counted as a separate farm water user.
For the 1950 census, the number of farms receiving water as
reported by each irrigation organization was checked against the
records for the farm operators reporting water received from
the irrigation organization as shown by the census of agriculture.
INTRODUCTION
XXV
The checking resulted in the number of farms reported as receiv-
ing water from irrigation organizations being reduced from
approximately 400,000 to 246,000. Because of the correction in
the number of farms furnished irrigation water as shown by
reports of the census of irrigation as the result of the matching
of reports for the census of irrigation with the reports of the
1950 Census of Agriculture, the number of irrigated farms shown
for the 1950 Census of Irrigation is not comparable with number
of farm irrigation water users reported for irrigation organiza-
tions in 1959 nor with the number of farm water users or irri-
gated farms reported for irrigation organizations for other
censuses.
Acres irrigated as shown by census of irrigation and census of
agriculture. — For every census, the area irrigated as reported by
irrigation organizations has exceeded the acres irrigated as re-
ported by the census of agriculture. The area irrigated as re-
ported by irrigation organizations has been overstated for every
census. The overstatement arises from two sources :
1. Some irrigation organizations report the area assessed for
water, the area eligible to receive water, or the total area in
farms receiving water. Usually these areas are considerably
greater than the area irrigated during a year.
2. In some cases, two or more irrigation organizations provide
water used to irrigate the same area. In such cases, the same
area is counted by each of the organizations supplying the water.

'in 1889, 1899 and 1944 through 1959, all irrigated land in farms; 1929 and 1934, acreage of irrigated
crops only; 1939, acreage of irrigated crops plus irrigated pasture. Data for 1909 and 1919 not available.
A comparison of the area reported as irrigated by each irriga-
tion organization and the area reported as irrigated by the farm
operators receiving water from the organization was made for
the 1950 census. This comparison resulted in the reduction of
approximately 7 percent in the acreage irrigated as reported by
irrigation organizations. In 1959, approximately one-seventh of
all the irrigation organizations provided water to farms that also
received irrigation water from other irrigation organizations.
These irrigation organizations provided water for one-fifth of
the area irrigated by irrigation organizations in 1959. However,
the area receiving irrigation with water from two or more irriga-
tion organizations represented about one-fifth of the area irrigated
by all irrigation organizations.
For 1950, the overstatement of the area irrigated plus the
duplication in the counting of the area irrigated by water from
two or more irrigation organizations was equal to 12 to 15 percent
of the area irrigated as originally reported by irrigation organi-
zations for 1949.
For 1959, irrigation organizations reported 17.7 million acres
irrigated. The calculations of area irrigated by water furnished
by irrigation organizations for farms included in the census of
agriculture was 12.9 million acres. Part of the 4.8 million acre

if
difference is the result of the counting by each irrigation orga-
nization of areas to which two or more irrigation organizations
provided water, and part of the difference is the result of the over-
statement of areas irrigated by irrigation organizations. Also,
it is very likely that the method used in the 1959 Census of Agri-
culture for calculating acres irrigated by water furnished farms
by irrigation organizations may have resulted in an understate-
ment of the area actually irrigated. There were 27,102 farms,
representing 10.1 percent of all the farms with irrigation in the
18 States that obtained water from on-the-farm sources and also
from irrigation organizations. The total acres irrigated on these
farms was 5.3 million, of which 2.6 million acres were allocated
as irrigated by water from irrigation organizations. On many
farms, where irrigatiou water is obtained from irrigation organi-
zations, the cost of water from irrigation organizations is likely
to be less than the cost of water obtained from wells, etc. Be-
cause of the differences in cost and in the availability of water
during the irrigating season, it is very likely that the propor-
tion of the area irrigated with water from irrigation organiza-
tions may be considerably greater than the proportion of water
obtained from such source.
Because of the correction of the area irrigated by irrigation
organizations on the basis of detailed comparisons of the reports
for each irrigation organization with the records for the 1950
Census of Agriculture, the figures for the area irrigated by water
from irrigation organizations for 1950 are not comparable with
those for 1959 nor with those for 1940 and prior censuses. The
difference between the area irrigated as shown by the 1959 census
and the 1950 census for irrigation organizations overstates sig-
nificantly the increase in the acreage irrigated by water furnished
by irrigation organizations.
Irrigation in Hawaii. — The first census of irrigation organiza-
tions was taken for 1959. The figures for Hawaii have not been
included with those of the 18 States in conterminous United
States because comparative data are not available for prioi
censuses. There were 16 organizations qualifying for the census
of irrigation in Hawaii in 1959: these 16 organizations provided
water for 86,949 out of the 141,179 acres irrigated in 1959 in
Hawaii. The following table presents a summary of the more sig-
nificant data for Hawaii. Of the 16 irrigation organizations in
Hawaii, 10 were operated by commercial organizations and 6 by
the State, cities, and other agencies.

No data are available by drainage basins for Hawaii. Some
irrigation works of considerable size are operated by sugarcane
plantations to provide water for a single farm. Data for those
irrigation operations for a single farm are not included in the
data for irrigation organizations for Hawaii.
Irrigated land in sugarcane, vegetables, and pineapples accounts
for more than four-fifths of the total acres irrigated in Hawaii.
Detailed data regarding irrigated farms and the acreage and
production of crops on irrigated land may be found in county
tables la and 11a of part 50 of volume I of the reports for the
1959 Census of Agriculture.
SUMMARY
This summary presents both current and historical data per-
taining to irrigated farms and irrigated land in farms obtained
in the 1959 and earlier censuses of agriculture ; and data pertain-
ing to irrigation organizations from the 1959 and earlier censuses
of irrigation ; and data pertaining to irrigation water obtained in
the 1959 and earlier censuses, both agriculture and irrigation.
Irrigated land in farms. — The acreage irrigated in 1959 for the
48 conterminous (Alaska and Hawaii are excluded) States was
33,021,799 acres according to the 1959 Census of Agriculture.
This was 11.7 percent greater than the 29,552,155 acres reported
in 1954 and 28 percent greater than the 25,787,455 acres reported
in 1950 for the calendar year 1949. For the 17 conterminous
Western States and Louisiana, the 1959 irrigated area amounted
to 31,222,967 acres, or 94.6 percent of the irrigated acreage for
the 48 conterminous States. The increase in irrigated acreage
for the 18 States was 12.8 percent from 1954 to 1959 and 25.7
percent from 1949 to 1959.

The change in irrigated acreage in the 18 States varied consid-
erably by geographic areas. Of the G.4 million acres net increase
from 1949 to 1959, 42.2 percent occurred in the Plains States of
Texas and Oklahoma ; 29.4 percent in the Northern Plains States
of Nebraska, Kansas, North and South Dakota ; and 22.8 percent
in three Pacific States of California, Washington, and Oregon.
In the eight Mountain States, the net increase was only 452,228
acres or 7.1 percent of the total increase in the 18 States. De-
creases were reported for Colorado, Nevada, and Utah, and also
for Louisiana.
The largest acreage expansion in the 10-year period in any
individual State was recorded in Texas with an increase of
2,524,104 acres, or 80.6 percent increase in the irrigated acreage
from 1949 to 1959. Nebraska had an increase of 1,201,667 acres,
or 137.1 percent, and California an increase of 957,246 acres, or
14.9 percent from 1949 to 1959.

For the major drainage basins, the Mississippi River Basin,
which includes all the Plains States except for the southern part
of Texas, with 8.97 million acres, had the largest irrigated acre-
age, and its increase of 3.16 million acres over 1950 was the largest
in any of the basins. The Great Basin had a small decrease in
irrigated acreage from 1949 to 1959.
The different regional trends in the number of acres irrigated
have been affected by a number of factors. The increase in

Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas has been largely due
to the development of ground-water supplies. In the Northern
Plains States, irrigation expansion was in part the result of the
development of large-scale public projects. In the Mountain
States, ground-water supplies are not as plentiful as in the Plains
States and surface-water supplies were more fully develoi>ed
before 1950. Irrigation growth in the Pacific States has resulted
from the availability of both ground- and surface-water supplies
and the development of large-scale public irrigation projects.
The decrease of irrigated acreage in Louisiana is largely the re-
sult of lower rice acreage, while the decrease in irrigated acre-
age in the Great Basin was largely the result of a water shortage
in 1959.
Sources of irrigation water. — According to the 1959 Census of
Agriculture, of the total of 31,222,967 acres irrigated in the 18
States, 13,243,912 acres, or 42.4 percent, were irrigated from
ground-water sources on the farm ; 5,081,250 acres, or 16.3 percent,
were irrigated from surface-water sources on the farm ; and
12,897,805 acres, or 41.3 percent, were irrigated by water received
from irrigation organizations.
The irrigation organizations obtained the major portion of their
water from surface-water sources. In the 18 States, the irriga-
tion organizations reported 72,997,259 acre-feet of water were ob-
tained from natural sources. Of this amount, 68,685,789 acre-
feet, or 94 percent, was from surface sources.
PERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION OF TOTAL ACRES IRRIGATED, BY
SOURCE OF WATER, BY STATES: 1959
Arizona, Louisiana, and California are the only States in which
the proportion of ground water obtained by irrigation organiza-
tions exceeded the average for the 18 States. In Arizona, irriga-
tion organizations obtained 39 percent of the water from
ground-water sources; in Louisiana, irrigation organizations
obtained 16.4 percent ; and in California, irrigation organizations
secured 9.6 percent of the total water from ground-water sources.
To determine the total farm acreage irrigated from ground
and surface sources, the acreage irrigated by organization water
in each drainage basin was divided between ground and surface

sources in proportion to the amount of water obtained from each
source by the irrigation organizations and these figures were
added to the acreage irrigated from farm ground and surface
sources. In this manner, the total farm acreage irrigated from
ground-water sources was determined to be approximately 14.0
million acres or about 45 percent of the total acres irrigated.
The total farm acreage irrigated from surface-water sources
equaled about 17.2 million acres or about 55 percent of the total
acres irrigated.
The percentage of the irrigation water which originated from
ground or surface sources varied greatly among the 18 States.
In Kansas 88.7 percent of the irrigation water was secured from
ground sources. The corresponding percentages for North Dakota
and Montana were 2 percent. The States with over 50 percent of
the irrigation water received from ground sources were the
Plains States of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas; and
Arizona, New Mexico, and Louisiana. In each of the other 10
States, the proportion of the water from ground sources was less
than 20 percent.
Irrigated farms. — There were 306,532 farms in the conterminous
United States with irrigated land in 1959 according to the 1959
Census of Agriculture. In 1954, irrigated land was reported by
320,236 farms and in 1950 by 305,061 farms. The number of
irrigated farms was almost the same in 1959 as in 1950 but the
number decreased 4.3 percent between 1954 and 1959. In the 18
States the number of irrigated farms in 1959 was 7.4 percent
smaller than in 1950 and 6.8 percent smaller than in 1954. The
number of irrigated farms decreased in all the Mountain States
and in California and Louisiana. In each of the Plains States and
Washington there was an increase in the number of irrigated
farms from 1954 to 1959.

In the areas showing a decrease in the number of irrigated
farms, the decline was largely the result of the consolidation of
farms into larger operating units. The States with an increase
in the number of irrigated farms also showed an increase in
irrigated acreage. In the States with an increase in the number
the existing farms and in some cases the introduction of irriga-
tion resulted in the division of existing dryland farms into a
larger number of smaller irrigated farms. With the exception of
Arizona and Nevada, a larger proportion of the farms in each of
the 18 States had irrigation in 1959 than in 1950.
INTRODUCTION
XXIX
Irrigation organizations. — A total of 8,749 irrigation organiza-
tions was included in the 1959 Census of Irrigation in the 17
conterminous Western States and Louisiana. This compares
with 10.491 organizations in 1950. In Kansas, North Dakota, and
South Dakota there was a larger number of irrigation organiza-
tions in 1959 than in 1950.
Types of irrigation organizations. — The number of mutual or-
ganizations reported in 1959 was 7,726. Of these, 4,989 were
classified as unincorporated and 2,737 as incorporated. The total
number of mutual organizations had declined from 9,348 in 1950
when there were 6,464 unincorporated organizations and 2,884
incorporated organizations.
The number of mutual organizations, incorporated and unin-
corporated combined, decreased in 16 States. The decrease in the
number of mutual organizations resulted from several factors.
In California, the agricultural lands of many of the smaller orga-
nizations have been converted to urban uses. In New Mexico,
many of the small organizations did not have a water supply in
1959 and, therefore, were not included in the census. In all
States, some of the small mutual organizations which had served
two or three farms in 1950, did not qualify for inclusion in the
1959 census because of the consolidation of the farms served by
them.
The combined irrigated acreage reported by both the unincor-
porated and the incorporated mutuals equals 8.8 million acres.
This is larger than the irrigated acreage reported by any other
type of organization. However, the 6.9 million acres reported
irrigated by irrigation districts is greater than the acreage re-
ported by either type of mutual organization alone.
There were 558 irrigation districts reported in the 1959 Census
of Irrigation which was an increase from 483 in 1950. The num-
ber of irrigation districts increased in 10 of the 18 States. In
Nevada, the number was identical for both 1950 and 1959. There
were no irrigation districts in Louisiana.
The number of projects or storage systems ( see page xvi ''Orga-
nizations included" for definition of project) operated by the
Bureau of Reclamation increased from 37 in 1950 to 54 in 1959.
The 54 projects reported 710,904 acres irrigated : however, these
figures do not represent the total contribution of the Bureau of
Reclamation to irrigation. Usually as the Bureau of Reclamation
completes a project, the project is turned over to a water-users
organization for operation. These organizations were enumerated
under the type of organization they represented (in most cases,
irrigation districts) . In the 1959 Census of Irrigation, there were
147 organizations which had been built by tie Bureau of Reclama-
tion but were then operated by water-users organizations. These
147 organizations reported 3.3 million acres irrigated. This rep-
resents the total number of organizations for which the irrigation
facilities were built by the Bureau of Reclamation and turned
over to water users for operation.
The number of commercial organizations in the 18 States,
dropped from 401 in 1950 to 246 in 1959. There was a decrease
in the number of commercial organizations in both Louisiana
and California, the only States where commercial organizations
are important. The decrease in the number of organizations in
California was largely the result of farm lands being taken over
for urban and suburban development. In Louisiana, a number of
commercial irrigation organizations did not qualify for inclusion
in the census because they provided water for only one farm.
According to the 1959 Census of Irrigation, there were 123
United States Bureau of Indian Affairs irrigation projects.
This was a decline from the 141 reported in 1950. The decrease
resulted largely from differences in counting projects as independ-
ent irrigation organizations, when some of the projects were con-
troled by the same part of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Interrelationships between irrigation organizations. — Many irri-
gation organizations do not deliver all of their water for irriga-
tion direct to farms, but rather deliver part or all to other irriga-
tion organizations which may deliver to farms or which in turn
may deliver water to still other irrigation organizations.
Out of the 8,749 total irrigation organizations, reported in the
18 States, 5.2 percent received part of their water from other
organizations, and 8 percent received all of their water from other
organizations. In the 18 States, irrigation organizations reported
56.1 million acre-feet of water delivered to farm and residential
water users. Of this amount 18.8 percent was delivered by organ-
izations which obtained part of their water from other organiza-
tions, and 7.5 percent was delivered by organizations which
received all of their water from other organizations.
The delivery of part of the water to other organizations was
reported by 379 organizations or 4.3 percent of all organizations.
The delivery of all water to other organizations was reported by
only 67 organizations. Organizations supplying part of their
water to other organizations delivered 8.7 million acre-feet of
water to those other organizations or 9.5 percent of the total
water conveyed, including water delivered to other organizations.
Organizations, delivering all of their water to other organizations
supplied 9.9 million acre-feet of water or 10.8 percent of the total
water conveyed.
Size of organization. — Data are presented for the three meas-
ures of size of organizations. Acre-feet of water conveyed con-
stitutes the most accurate measure of size. Of the 8,749 irrigation
organizations in the 18 States, 8,669 conveyed water (the other
80 operated reservoir facilities and released all water to natural
stream channels). The 8,669 organizations which conveyed
water, reported an average of 10,571 acre-feet of water conveyed.
This average includes quantities delivered to other organizations.
More irrigation organizations were in the size group conveying
300 to 999 acre-feet of water than in any other size group.
There were 1.707 organizations which conveyed 1 to 299 acre-feet
and 2,059 organizations which conveyed between 1,000 to 2,999
acre-feet. There were 132 organizations which conveyed over
100,000 acre-feet of water.
Capital investment. — The data given for capital investment of
irrigation organizations are not precise. In the 1940 Census of
Irrigation the organizations were asked to report the total in-
vestment in their works and equipment as of December 31. 1939.
In the censuses of 1950 and 1959 the organizations were asked to
report only capital investments made during the 10-year period
preceding the census. These figures which have been added
together to obtain total capital investment and the total have not
been adjusted to take into account changes on the price level.
The amounts of investment reported by the smaller organiza-
tions are largely estimates. Many changes in ownership, organi-
zation, and method of computing the valuation have influenced
the accuracy of the figures for capital investment.
Farms by extent of irrigated crops. — For tabulation purposes,
farms in the 18 States were classified into four groups: (1)
Farms with all crops irrigated, (2) farms with part of the crops
irrigated, (3) farms with land irrigated and no crops harvested
from irrigated land, and (4) farms with no irrigated land. The
summary for these four groups of farms for the 18 States for 1959

IRRIGATION OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
Of the 1,044,166 farms in the 18 States, only 267,431 reported
land irrigated in 1959 and only 31.2 million acres were irrigated
of the 715 million acres of land in farms in these States. Irri-
gated farms in these States contained over 213 million acres of
land. In 1959, crops were harvested from 26.2 million acres of
the 31.2 million acres irrigated. The 5 million acres of irrigated
land from which no crops were harvested were largely irrigated
pastureland, although a part of the acreage was irrigated land
in cultivated summer fallow.
In the 18 States there were 144.4 million acres of land from
which crops were harvested but only 26.2 million acres, or 18
percent, were irrigated in 1959. Approximately 68 percent (26.2
million acres) of the 38.5 million acres of land from which crops
were harvested on farms with irrigation were irrigated in 1959.
There were 178,029 farms on which all crops harvested were
irrigated. Those farms had 71 percent of all irrigated land and
72 percent of the irrigated land from which crops were har-
vested. There were 24,998 farms with no crops harvested from
irrigated land in 1959. These farms had 947,206 acres of irri-
gated land and nearly 645,000 acres of land from which crops
were harvested. A large part of the irrigated land on these 24,998
farms was used for pasture.
IRRIGATED LAND AS A PERCENT OF ALL LAND IN FARMS, 1959
In order to facilitate the tabulation of census data on crops,
farm operators were asked to indicate which crops on their
farms were entirely irrigated in 1959 and to report the acreage
irrigated for those crops which had only a part of the harvested
acreage irrigated in 1959.
There were approximately 26.2 million acres of crops harvested
from irrigated land in the 18 States. Only data for the acreage
harvested are available for the crops for which only part of the
acreage harvested was irrigated, since farm operators were not
asked to report separately the quantity harvested from the irri-
gated land if only a part of the acreage for a crop was irrigated.
The data in summary table 4 for crops harvested on irrigated
farms relate only to the crops for which the entire area harvested
was irrigated. The entire acreage harvested and the production
were included in the totals for nonirrigated crops when only part
of the acreage of the crop on a farm was irrigated. The figures
for nonirrigated crops include about 2.9 million acres of irrigated
crops for 1959 and more than 2.0 million acres of irrigated crops
for 1954. This procedure should be kept in mind if the figures
are to be used in making comparisons of relative yields for irri-
gated and nonirrigated crops. Since the acreage irrigated is
not available for those crops for which only a part of the acreage
harvested was irrigated in 1954, the data in summary table 4 can-
not be used to measure the change from 1954 to 1959 in the irri-
gated acreage of each crop harvested. Summary table 3 presents
the total acres irrigated for each crop in 1959 and also the acre-
ages irrigated for those crops for which only a part of the acreage
was irrigated in 1959. Six crops — sorghums (755,000 acres), corn
( 725,000 acres ) , hay ( 483,000 acres ) , wheat ( 432,000 acres ) , cotton
(446,000 acres), and barley (92,000 acres) — accounted for a total
of 98 percent of the 3,000,000 acres of irrigated crops harvested on
farms on which only a part of the acreage of such crops was
irrigated in 1959. These were the only crops for which as much
as 3 percent of the total acreage of the irrigated crop was re-
ported on farms on which only a part of the crop was irrigated.
Importance of crop production on irrigated land. — In order to
indicate the importance of the production of each crop harvested
on irrigated land, estimates have been made for the production
on the irrigated part for each crop irrigated, when only part
of the acreage of the crop was irrigated. These estimates repre-
sent approximations as the estimates have been made by assum-
ing that the yield per acre for the acreage irrigated for crops
for which only part of the acreage was irrigated was the same
as for the acreage for which the entire acreage was irrigated.
These estimates have been made only for the 18 States as a group.

The making of estimates using the same procedure by counties
or by States would provide different totals. The estimated pro-
duction for the irrigated acreage where only part of the acreage
was irrigated represents 6 percent or more of the total production
for only seven crops, sorghums (28 percent), corn (35 percent),
hay (6 percent), wheat (25 percent), cotton (13 percent), pop-
corn (13 percent), and cowpeas for peas (11 percent).
No data are available regarding the production of tree fruits,
nuts, and grapes on irrigated land. However, the irrigated acre-
age of tree fruits, nuts, and grapes represents almost 80 percent
of the total acreage in the 18 States and almost 40 percent of the
total acreage in the 48 States. The value of the fruit, nut, and
grape crops in the 18 States was $708 million in 1959. A large
part of this value was for crops harvested from irrigated land.
The value of the tree fruit, nut, and grape crops in the 18 States
comprised 55 percent of the value of these crops in the 48 conter-
minous States. Thus, at least half of the tree fruit, nut, and
grape crops in the 48 conterminous States were produced in 1959
on irrigated land in the 18 States.
Data are not available for the production on irrigated land of
vegetables harvested for sale. The following table summarizes
the acreages of vegetables grown for sale on irrigated land in
the 18 States as well as the total acreages of vegetables harvested
for sale in the 18 States and in the 48 conterminous States.

Relation of water used for irrigation and other purposes. — Data
on quantity of water used for irrigation purposes are available
only for water delivered to farms by irrigation organizations.
Irrigation organizations provided water for the irrigation of 12.9
out of the 31.2 million acres irrigated in 1959. Irrigation orga-
nizations delivered 54.5 million acre-feet of water to farm irriga-
tion water users. However, 9.8 million acre-feet of water was de-
livered to farms where water from other sources was also used
for irrigation purposes. The average amount of water delivered
to farms per acre irrigated, for those irrigation organizations
reporting the quantity of water delivered and the acres irrigated
for farms receiving water for irrigation purposes from irrigation
organizations only, was 3.2 acre-feet per acre irrigated for the 18
States. The acre-feet per acre irrigated reported for their irri-
gation organizations varied from 1.2 to 4.8 acre-feet per acre
in the 18 States. If it is assumed that the average acre-feet used
per acre irrigated reported by these irrigation organizations indi-
cate the approximate use of water per acre irrigated for land irri-
gated for each of the 18 States, then the total quantity of water
used for irrigation purposes in the 18 States would be approxi-
mately 92 million acre feet in 1959. The conveyance loss
of water as reported by irrigation organizations totaled 15.8 mil-
lion acre-feet. The conveyance loss does not include losses from
evaporation and other causes in reservoirs. The area of the
principal reservoirs and regulated lakes in the 17 States is
3,446,000 acres and the estimated annual evaporation from these
reservoirs and lakes is 12,299,000 acre-feet (Evaporation from
the 17 Western States. Geological Survey Professional Paper
272-D, Geological Survey, U.S. Department of the Interior).
Thus, the total water withdrawn for irrigation uses in the 18
States was approximately 120 million acre-feet in 1959. The
1958 Census of Manufacturers reported the withdrawal of 2,978
billion gallons or 9 million acre-feet of water in 1959 in the 18
States. However, 92 percent of the water withdrawn by industry
was discharged into the stream, etc., and therefore may have been
available for reuse.
In the 18 irrigation States, water withdrawn for the use of live-
stock and poultry and for public use is a small percent of with-
drawals for all purposes. A large part of the water withdrawn
for industrial use is returned to streams and may be reused but
the water delivered to farms for irrigation purposes is not avail-
able for reuse because of transpiration and evaporation. Water
used for irrigation may have amounted to as much as nine-tenths
of the total water consumed in the 18 States.

PREFACE
Volume IV — Drainage of Agricultural Lands — presents the results of the 1960 Census
of Drainage. Data were collected for both organized drainage projects and for individually
owned tracts, provided 500 or more acres of land were benefited for agriculture by installed
works. The information was collected by both mail and field enumeration from officials
and records of organized projects, from county and court records, and from individuals
who had knowledge of known projects.
The 1960 Census of Drainage was taken in conformity with the Act of Congress of
August 31, 1954 (amended August 1957), which codified Title 13, United States Code.
The planning of the census and the compilation of the statistics, in large measure,
were carried on by Hilton E. Robison, Drainage Statistician, under the supervision of
Ray Hurley, Chief, Agriculture Division. Assistance was given by Warder B. Jenkins,
Assistant Chief, William B. Kauffman, Henry A. Tucker, and Helen D. Turner. The field
canvass was conducted under the supervision of Robert B. Voight, then Chief, Field
Division, by enumerators trained by employees of the Agriculture Division. The maps
were prepared under the supervision of William T. Fay, Geographer.
Acknowledgment is made of the technical assistance of a Special Federal Agency
Committee — 1959 Censuses of Irrigation and Drainage — and of the central office and local
personnel of the United States Soil Conservation Service.

INTRODUCTION
DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
Presentation of data. — This volume presents statistics on drain-
age of agricultural lands collected in the 1960 Census of Drainage.
The I960 Census included drainage projects that were benefiting
500 or more acres of agricultural land. The statistics are for
areas benefited, 19G0, and for drainage operations for the 10-year
period, 1950 through 19."i9. In the presentation selected compara-
tive data are included for earlier censuses. In general, the cen-
suses of drainage have primarily covered community or public
drainage undertakings although individual ownership undertak-
ings have been included if the area benefited met the minimum
acres requirement.
Data are presented for counties, for States, and for the com-
bination of States, which comprise the conterminous United
States, in which drainage enterprises were reported. Maps are
utilized to show the approximate location and boundaries of the
areas receiving drainage benefits, as ascertained in 1960. Data
for the conterminous United States are first presented in a series
of summary tables and in an overall map. Several summary
tables include information for States. These summary tables
and the general drainage map are followed by the tabular data
and a map for each State. Each State presentation is accom-
panied by detailed information for individual counties.
General discussion. — Agricultural drainage refers to the re-
moval, by artificial means, of excess water to improve the con-
dition of land used or to be used for agriculture. Excess water
either in or on the soil — whether a temporary or a permanent con-
dition— influences farm production, farm income, and farm values.
Too much water in the soil adversely affects crop growth and the
timely performance of operations such as tillage, seeding, culti-
vating, and harvesting including pasturing. Accumulation of
excess water may come about from heavy local precipitation :
from runoff from upstream areas ; from low-lying land in de-
pressions, ponds, and lakebeds ; from tidal action in coastal areas :
from soil profiles which restrict subsoil drainage ; from buildup
of a high water table directly as a result of irrigation or from
seepage ; or from artesian or other underground movement of
water.
Good management of land requires management of water.
Drainage, irrigation, and flood control, all requiring management,
often are interrelated. Large investments of capital have been
made by the Federal government and other public or quasi-public
organizations ; by cooperating groups of individuals ; or by single
individuals to restrict, provide, or regulate water supplies. On
the drainage side, Federal assistance has included measures
which provide improved major drainage outlets which may be
interrelated with flood control. Secondary drainage works and
drainage improvements on private land have been usually under-
taken by non-Federal interests, including private landowners.
More recently, increased Federal drainage assistance has been
available to local agencies, with some limitations, through the
watershed protection and flood prevention program authorized
under Public Law 566 of 1954 and amendments.
Drainage of land for agriculture has generally been recognized,
directly or tacitly, as a public good. As a general rule, the drain-
age of an individual's land cannot be carried out without the con-
struction of an artificial drain or the improvement of a natural
watercourse which affects the land of other individuals. Usually,
the improvement of an outlet drain benefits more than one farm
and the cost is greater than any individual wants to assume.
Most Stales have passed laws permitting or encouraging the or-
ganization of public corporations or local improvement districts
for this purpose.
Previous to the earliest acts for establishing public drains, a
number of the States had recognized the right of every landowner
to a drainage outlet by providing that an owner desiring drain-
age could apply to a designated official and upon payment of
damages, if the necessity were proved, secure easement to con-
struct and maintain a private drain across his neighbor's land.
The drainage laws for the various States have given rise to two
principal types of organization and to several minor types. The
corporate district and the county drain are the principal types.
The first is governed by its own officers, who either are elected
by the residents or landowners of the district or are specially
appointed by the authority which creates the enterprise. The
county drain is established and constructed as any other public
work or local improvement, the enterprise being managed by
regular officers who have charge of all these enterprises in their
county. Some enterprises are administered by a commission or
board consisting of one or more officials of the county and one or
more members selected by the owners of the land assessed for the
cost of the drainage. The minor types of organizations include
(1) township drains, which are similar in form to county drains
but are controlled by officers of the townships; (2) State drain-
age projects, controlled by State officials, usually embracing some
State land ; (3) irrigation districts, similar in character to drain-
age districts, that have undertaken drainage of land in those
districts; (4) commercial companies reclaiming and improving
wetland for sale; (5) cooperative or mutual undertakings without
formal corporate organization; and (6) individual landowners
including farm partnerships and farm corporations.
Physiographic features and the amount of water that should
be removed from both surface and subsoil have a direct bearing on
the need for, and the nature of, drainage works. Drainage im-
provements can be in the nature of straightening and deepening
natural water channels ; construction or replacement of drains,
both open and closed types ; installation or use of pumps and
drainage wells ; construction or repair of levees, floodgates, cul-
verts, and bridges ; and land leveling. Millions of acres now in
agricultural use have been fitted for crop or livestock produc-
tion by one or more of the methods which hasten the removal of
excess water. Some of the most productive lands of the Nation
have been improved by drainage and the installation of a drain-
age work increases agricultural output.
Drainage problems still exist on many acres of farmland. Old
or new techniques can make these lands more physically suitable
for crops and pasture. A part of the lands still inadequately
drained are interspersed with lands adequately provided with
drainage. Often an organized drainage district or other collective
drainage enterprise has provided the main channels and an
outlet for water flow so that remaining works need only be
installed by individual landowners. There are extensive areas
of wetlands, without or within farm boundaries, without any
artificial drainage, whatever, which can be physically improved
for crops and pasture. It may be questionable whether it is
advisable to make such lauds fit for agriculture, or even to make
all lands presently in farms fit for a higher type of agriculture,
X
DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
by means of drainage. This is especially true in periods of farm
surpluses. Often wildlife propagation and recreational activities
may be more desirable alternative uses of wetlands. There are
cases where the health of a community must be given considera-
tion. No doubt the individual landowner usually visualizes some
economic gain before he undertakes a drainage improvement.
Economic as well as social factors need to be weighed to determine
the feasibility and advisability of reclaiming land for farming.
Prevailing costs and benefits have not always been sufficient to
warrant the maintenance of drainage works after their installa-
tion. With the passage of time, it becomes difficult to say
whether certain drainage works are still a benefit to agriculture.
History of the Census of Drainage. — Practically all drained
agricultural lands lie within the boundaries of operated farms.
Such lands may be either inside or outside the boundaries of an
organized enterprise that provides drainage works for improving
lands for agriculture. The drains and other works for control
of water that a farmowner installs upon his own farm, either
within or without the boundaries of an organized drainage enter-
prise, are likely to be either supplemental to or entirely independ-
ent of the works installed by an organized enterprise. Officials
of an organized enterprise cannot be expected to know in detail
the total acres drained or the nature of all drainage works,
including those constructed by individual landowners, within the
boundaries of their districts. Therefore, the first efforts at gath-
ering information for drainage attempted the full coverage of
drainage for farmlands, that is, drainage by both organized enter-
prises and by individual landowners.
Through the years, a varying amount of basic information has
been obtained in respect to the amount and location of farmlands
which have been improved by drainage, the type of organization
under which drainage has been carried out, the kind of works
installed, the purpose of the drainage, the adequacy of the drain-
age, the capital invested, and the financial situation of the enter-
prise established for carrying on drainage improvements. Re-
cently, more emphasis is being placed on additions to the drained
area in respect to acreage, physical works, and costs. It has been
learned that many of the needed data concerning the extent and
adequacy of drainage cannot be answered satisfactorily by local
officials or individual landowners. Some organizations cease to
function after the drainage work has been accomplished and,
for farm drainage, the individual landowner either may be diffi-
cult to locate in the case of tenant-operated land or may not be
in full possession of knowledge of drains long-established on his
holdings.
The first census of drainage in the United States was taken in
1920. No provision for inquiries regarding drainage was made
in any prior census. In 1920, some facts concerning drainage on
farms were collected in the general census of agriculture, while
those for drainage enterprises were obtained in a special canvass
of those enterprises. Drainage enterprises were to comprise
public and private corporations and local improvement districts
organized to secure the drainage of land to be used for agricul-
tural purposes; also government projects and other organiza-
tions engaged in extensive land drainage work. Questionnaires
were obtained also for drainage undertakings, each to benefit 500
acres or more, by individual farmowners. Land furnished pro-
tection from overflow by levees, dikes, or embankments was not
included unless some form of drainage works had been constructed
on the protected land. The land in drainage enterprises was the
acreage that had been or was to be benefited by drainage works
constructed by the enterprises and, except in a few instances,
was the land assessed to pay the cost of the enterprises. The
exceptions were irrigation projects installing drains to benefit
land damaged by seepage or by alkali as a result of the irrigation,
and assessing the cost against the entire irrigation enterprise in-
stead of against only the area needing drainage or protection.
Under such circumstances the area thus assessed, but not need-
ing drainage, was omitted from the tabulations. Enterprise data
were published for 34 States. No enterprises were found in
Alabama, Virginia, West Virginia, or in the 11 States north of the
Potomac River.
In 1930, a small amount of data was gathered from farm op-
erators in the general census of agriculture in respect to drain-
age on farms. Figures were published for the number of farms
reporting drainage and the acreage of farmland provided with
drainage. A special questionnaire was utilized to cover organ-
ized drainage enterprises. Again, the term "drainage enterprise"
was broadened to include a tract of farmland of 500 or more acres
drained as a private undertaking without legal organization. The
area of a drainage enterprise included all the land within the
boundaries of the enterprise. It included all land assessed for
the cost of the enterprise, and may have included land not as-
sessed because exempted for special reasons. Where the drainage
was performed by an irrigation district, that district was also the
drainage enterprise. Drainage enterprise data were published for
35 States in 1930. These included Virginia in addition to the 34
States for which data were published in 1920.
Since 1930, no effort has been made to obtain drainage data on
the general questionnaire for the census of agriculture. The
acreage drained in a particular farm is largely a matter of
opinion of the operator, particularly so in the case of a tenant-
operator, as to the area actually benefited. The 1930 Drainage
Report stated that both the number of farms reporting drainage
and the acreage drained were doubtless too low, due to the fact
that some enumerators failed to secure answers to the farm
drainage questions on the general farm questionnaire.
The third census of drainage enterprises was taken in 1940.
A drainage enterprise, for the 1940 Census of Drainage, was
defined as the area (1) organized in one drainage district, or (2)
assessed for the same public drain, or (3) in corporate or in
private ownership drained by works operated as one undertaking.
Privately owned enterprises draining less than 500 acres each
were omitted from the census, but all enterprises established
under State drainage laws were included. Drainage statistics
were presented for 38 States. In addition to the 35 States for
which enterprises had been found in the 1930 enumeration, enter-
prises were located in, and statistics were published for, Alabama,
Delaware, and Maryland.
In the 1940 Census of Drainage Report, in the discussion of the
classification by character of enterprise, mention was made of the
difficulty of applying the definitions to distinguish between drain-
age districts and county drains in all States. In Iowa, for ex-
ample, almost all of the enterprises were classed as county drains
although by law they were named drainage districts. In several
other States an enterprise with the term "district," as used locally
or even in the statutes, was classified differently. It was said that
the district form of organization, being under the management of
its own officials, was generally considered more suited to the
larger and more costly undertakings, as giving the landowners the
greatest degree of local control. The county drain form, ad-
ministered by county officials, was generally more economical in
administrative costs for small enterprises in which the problems
of engineering and financing are relatively simple. This form was
most common in those States where drainage was promoted for
improving land already in farms. The district form was general
in those areas where reclamation and development of unimproved
lands for making new farms had been an important consideration
in promoting the drainage enterprises.
Prior to 1950, all organized drainage enterprises, regardless of
size, were covered in each census of drainage. A report was ob-
tained for each enterprise that had constructed drainage works
which were still serving agricultural lands or that had contributed
to the capital invested in existing works. All unorganized drain-
age operations on agricultural lands of 500 or more drained acres,
conducted by individuals or cooperative groups, were also covered.
INTRODUCTION
XT
For 1950, it was deckled to restrict the enumeration of drainage
projects to drained agricultural areas of 500 acres or more, regard-
less of whether they were in an organized enterprise or repre-
sented a private operation. Consideration was given to both the
expense and difficulty of gathering information for individuals
or officials for small acreages of drained lands. These items are
more pronounced for those enterprises which have been super-
seded. Many of the small enterprises had been superseded by
later enterprises. For that reason it was decided, in advance of
the 1050 Census date, to eliminate enterprises of less than 500
acres from the enumeration. For 1950. a special effort was made
to obtain reports for cooperative or group drainage projects to
which the Soil Conservation Service had rendered technical
assistance.
The decision to limit the 1950 Census of Drainage to enterprises
of 500 or more drained acres was based on the following facts.
In 1940, there were 79,220 reports secured in the Census of
Drainage. Many of these represented enterprises which had been
superseded by later enterprises. Although these superseded en-
terprises were no longer in existence, the works which they had
constructed were still serving to drain agricultural lands, or these
enterprises had contributed to the capital invested in existing
works. Of the 79.220 total, 41,690 were less than 500 acres in
size. Of approximately 133 million acres in all enterprises in
1940, only 9 million acres were accounted for by enterprises under
500 acres. Thus, slightly more than half of the enterprises con-
taining about seven percent of the land in enterprises were repre-
sented by these small operations. In 1940, about S7 million acres
of laud were drained. The difference between 133 million and
87 million represented lands which were drained by more than
one enterprise. Considerably more than one-half of the land in
enterprises of less than 500 acres was shown to be in overlapped
enterprises. The exclusion of the very small enterprises had a
material effect on the number of enterprises covered but had only
a minor effect on the number of drained acres.
Prior to the 1950 Census of Drainage, a preliminary field test
was conducted in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to determine whether
a satisfactory method of enumerating overlapped drainage enter-
prises had been developed. It was learned that in most of the
counties having county drains, there were county maps showing
the land in drainage enterprises. These maps were usually pre-
pared by the county engineer or other qualified person. The
existing maps and the special knowledge of county engineers or
surveyors as to the location of the drained lands could be used
to best advantage if overlapped lands in enterprises could be
eliminated from the enumeration. This elimination would greatly
reduce the cost of both field and office work. It was decided to
treat the drained lands of each county, in States having pre-
dominantly county drains, as a single enterprise. Thus, only
one questionnaire would be filled per county in such States.
Most of the overlapped enterprises, and also those under 500
acres, were in three States — Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The
same economies which prompted the Census to use one question-
naire per county in these three States led to the use of a single
questionnaire per county also in Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and South Dakota. This
group of ten States was designated as "county-drain" States,
although in Delaware the predominant form of drainage organi-
zation was the drainage district. An abbreviated questionnaire
was used in these "county-drain" States as contrasted with the
reporting form used in the other so-called "drainage-district"
States.
In 1950, the enumerators who were charged with the respon-
sibility of securing a drainage questionnaire for irrigation enter-
prises having their own drainage were often unable to obtain the
required information concerning the area and location of the
lands benefited by drainage. They could not readily secure an
allocation of cost, collections, and indebtedness for the drainage
works separately from the irrigation works. Because of this
difficulty, the 1950 information concerning drained lands was
supplemented by data secured on the questionnaire for the census
of irrigation. In doing so, the restriction of 500 or more drained
acres was not applied to irrigation enterprises having their own
drainage.
Drainage enterprises were enumerated in 40 States in 1950.
Enterprises were enumerated in New Jersey and New York for the
first time. The eight States with no drainage enterprises, for the
purpose of the census, were the six New England States, Pennsyl-
vania, and West Virginia.
The 1960 Census of Drainage was the fifth of a nationwide
series to obtain data in respect to removal of excess water from
agricultural lands. After the 1950 experience, a change was
considered necessary in the kind of data that could or should
be secured in a drainage enumeration. Lands drained solely
because of irrigation, to remove seepage water, or to prevent
alkali accumulation, were excluded from the Census of Drainage.
The theory underlying the change was that these irrigated lands
were not first made available for agricultural use through the
removal of excess water from naturally wetlands. (See dis-
cussion under "Scope of the 1960 Census of Drainage.")
Legal basis for the Census of Drainage. — Each of the five cen-
suses of drainage has been authorized by an Act of Congress.
"Title 13, United States Code— Census," codified in August 1954,
and amended in August 1957, and September 1960, is now the
legal basis for the censuses of agriculture and other censuses, and
surveys conducted by the Bureau of the Census. Section 142,
paragraph (b), made provision for the Census of Drainage, as
follows :
"The Secretary shall, in conjunction with the census of
agriculture directed to be taken in October 1959 and each tenth
year thereafter, take a census of irrigation and drainage."
Section 5 of Title 13 made provision for the preparation of
forms and questionnaires in this manner —
"The Secretary shall prepare schedules, and shall deter-
mine the inquiries, and the number, form and subdivision
thereof, for the statistics, surveys, and censuses provided for
in this title." Under authority granted by Section 4 of Title
13, the Secretary of Commerce delegated "the functions and
duties imposed upon him by this title" to the Director of the
Bureau of the Census.
ENUMERATION FORMS AND
PROCEDURES
Preparatory work. — Within the framework of the Act provid-
ing for the 1960 Census of Drainage, the scope of the enumer-
ation and the nature and content of the forms and procedures
used for taking the census were determined by the staff of the
Bureau. In making the decision as to which drainage projects
to enumerate, the form of the questions to be asked, and the
enumerative procedures to be followed, the staff gave consid-
eration to the experience gained in earlier censuses and to the
results of a pretest of the proposed questionnaire and procedures.
Careful consideration was given to availability of data from
other sources, the adequacy of the data that might be obtained,
and the need for and the usefulness of the data.
Two special committees provided advice and counsel to the
Bureau. A Special Federal Agency Committee, for the 1959
Censuses of Irrigation and Drainage, comprised representatives
of the following agencies : Agricultural Conservation Program
Service, Agricultural Research Service, Rural Electrification
Administration, and Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture ; Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau
of Reclamation of the U.S. Department of the Interior ; and the
Bureau of the Census. A second Committee, the Special Advisory
Committee for the 1959 Census of Agriculture, reviewed the later
stages of the planning. This committee consisted of one repre-
XII
DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
sentative from each of the following : Agricultural Publishers
Association ; American Association of Land-Grant Colleges and
State Universities ; American Farm Bureau Federation ; American
Farm Economic Association ; American Statistical Association ;
Farm Equipment Institute ; National Association of Commis-
sioners, Secretaries, and Directors of Agriculture ; National Coun-
cil of Farmer Cooperatives ; National Farmers' Union ; National
Grange ; Rural Sociological Society ; and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. A representative of the Bureau of the Budget was
in attendance at all meetings of this Committee.
Scope of the 1960 Census of Drainage. — Since drainage of ir-
rigated lands for the purpose of controlling alkali or seepage
from irrigation generally represents an integral part of the oper-
ations performed by irrigation enterprises, such drainage was
excluded in the 1960 Census. The 1950 experience had indicated
the impracticability of apportioning financial data to drainage, as
distinct from irrigation. Drainage for control of alkali or seepage
from irrigation was excluded even in instances where the drain-
age was handled by a separate organization from that which pro-
vided the irrigation. In such cases the drainage organization was
often a subsidiary of the irrigation organization and, even when
not subsidiary, the organizations often shared facilities. Part
or all of the maintenance was frequently handled by the irrigation
organization. An attempt was made, however, to include drain-
age operations benefiting naturally wetlands even though such
lands may have been irrigated.
The 1950 experience also led to the inclusion in 1960 of inquiries
designed to identify extensive contiguous tracts within the project
area that were either not being used for agriculture or were
receiving no drainage benefits from the facilities provided.
The principle established in 1950 for the "county-drain" States
of obtaining one report for all drains under one management
was extended in 1960 to all States. The 1950 plan for "county-
drain" States was modified to require separate reports for drain-
age projects under separate management.
The 1960 enumeration, as in 1950, included all projects which
provided drainage benefits to 500 or more acres of agricultural
lands. A project might represent an undertaking by a legally
organized drainage district ; by a special district organized pri-
marily to provide some other service ; by some other governmental
unit; by an individual landowner, farm partnership, or farm
corporation ; or by a cooperative group of landowners controlling
a joint undertaking or carrying out their respective portions of
one overall plan.
For intercounty projects separate reports, as in prior censuses,
were required for each county part in order to provide drainage
data at the county level.
Projects for which the drains still were functioning were in-
cluded even though the organization responsible for the drains
no longer existed. An exception was made for projects taken
over by a later organization. If, however, there had been any
drainage activity by the superseded organization during the 10-
year period, 1950-1959, it was also included.
Information was obtained on the area of the project and for
drainage activities for the 10-year period since the preceding
census. Where possible, information obtained for the project
in 1950, such as the area in 1950 and the mapping of this area,
was utilized in 1960 and only the activities and changes since
1950 were recorded by the enumerator in the 1960 enumeration.
However, if the 1950 Census records were incomplete, or indicated
a need for verification, or if the recorded information was found
to be incorrect, the enumerator was required to disregard any in-
formation given him for the 1950 Census and to obtain complete
information for the project for 1960.
Pretest of questionnaire and procedures. — A pretest of the
questionnaire and field procedures was conducted in July 1959.
Four counties were selected to provide a fairly representative
cross-section of the problems expected in the enumeration. Van-
derburgh County, Indiana, and Henderson County, Kentucky,
represented county-drain systems with drains under control of
county officials. The county surveyor was directly responsible
for county-drain work in Vanderburgh County, Indiana, and a
county Board of Drainage Commissioners was responsible for the
county ditches in Henderson County, Kentucky. Indiana and
Kentucky were enumerated in 1950 as "county-drain" States, one
questionnaire being used to enumerate all drainage projects in
each county. Massac County and Gallatin County, Illinois, were
selected as representative of "drainage-district" areas. For these
two counties, each drainage district had its own officials with
varied connections with the county government. Massac County
was selected particularly to test the effectiveness and adequacy
of the questionnaire and procedures for handling projects that
extend into two or more counties. [The 1950 enumeration in-
cluded 618 such projects, in all areas, accounting for 1,292 of the
6,132 reports (other than "irrigation enterprises" enumerated
in the Census of Drainage) included in the tabulations for that
year.] Gallatin County had projects of several types of organiza-
tion. It offered experience in handling problems involving over-
lapping of projects, in obtaining information from a variety of
sources, and in obtaining information for projects for which there
was no longer any active management or person responsible.
Advance listing of drainage projects. — Just prior to the field
enumeration for the 1960 Census of Drainage, a listing of drainage
projects was prepared to insure reasonably complete coverage.
This listing included the following :
1. All projects included in the 1950 tabulations.
2. Additional projects, listed or enumerated in 1950 but ex-
cluded from the tabulations, where there was a possibility
that such projects might qualify for inclusion in 1960. These
additional projects included those in the planning stage in
1950, projects started but not completed, and projects re-
ported inactive for many years but which might have been
restored.
3. Special purpose districts included in the 1952 and 1957 Cen-
suses of Governments where the name or listed functions of
the district indicated that the district might be providing
drainage services to agricultural lands.
4. Projects ascertained by a mail canvass of "irrigation enter-
prises" reporting 500 or more acres of drained lands in the
1950 Census of Irrigation. (See "Canvass of irrigation
enterprises.")
5. Projects listed by the Soil Conservation Service as having
been undertaken since 1950. (See "Soil Conservation Serv-
ice canvass.")
6. Projects listed by the State of Missouri as having been or-
ganized since January 1, 1950. (The Soil Conservation Serv-
ice could provide no information on drainage activities for
77 Missouri counties.)
For each of these listed projects, the name of the organization was
entered on a 1960 Drainage Questionnaire. In most instances, the
Bureau was also able to enter the name and address of one or
more persons who could be contacted regarding that project.
The person listed was generally an official of the organization, or
some other person who would have knowledge of the project.
These questionnaires were given to the enumerator, in the re-
spective area, in advance of the enumeration.
The listing was considered to be reasonably complete. The 1950
Census provided a reliable listing of projects in existence as of
that date. Officials of the Soil Conservation Service were of the
opinion that the listing provided by that organization could be
relied upon for coverage of additional projects since the 1950
Census. The Soil Conservation personnel had rendered technical
assistance for many of these projects. Since the area served by
each local office of the Soil Conservation Service generally consists
of only one or two counties, the local officials should have had
knowledge of any additional drainage operation in their area
that would have sufficient size for inclusion in 1960.
Enumerators were instructed to be on the lookout, in the coun-
ties assigned, for additional drainage activities that might qualify
for inclusion in the census.
INTRODUCTION
XIII
For counties for which no projects were prelisted, and counties
for which the enumeration was conducted by mail (see "Mail
canvass"), the enumeration coverage depended wholly on the
advance listing.
Canvass of "irrigation enterprises." — To determine which "ir-
rigation enterprises" included in the 1950 Census of Drainage
qualified for inclusion in the 19(10 Census of Drainage, a special
questionnaire ( Form D2) was mailed to each enterprise for which
500 or more acres of land were reported as provided with artificial
drainage. This questionnaire determined —
1. The individual or the organization responsible for the
drainage.
2. Whether the need for drainage was solely because of irriga-
tion, or was intended to improve naturally wetlands.
3. Whether 500 or more acres were drained by constructed
works.
Although the 1950 Census of Drainage report carried data for
"irrigation enterprises having their own drainage," the 1950
Census of Irrigation questionnaire did not determine whether the
organization, group, or person responsible for the irrigation was
also responsible for the drainage of the land.
The mailing list was compiled from the 1950 Census of Irriga-
tion reports and from incomplete 1950 Census of Drainage ques-
tionnaires representing "irrigation enterprises" having their own
drainage works. The 1950 Census of Drainage included 790 "ir-
rigation enterprises" enumerated in the Irrigation Census, with
500 or more acres of irrigated land reported as provided with
artificial drainage. The mailing list, compiled on a county basis,
consisted of 960 listings to be accounted for. A total of 1,683
mailings was made, including followups for nonresponses, requests
for further information, and requests to new respondents named
as responsible for the drainage activities.
Satisfactory information was obtained for 87.9 percent of the
listings. For most of the others the identification or address was
not sufficient to find a satisfactory respondent. Of those for which
satisfactory information was obtained, approximately two out of
three did not qualify for inclusion in the 1960 Census. For over
half (54.2 percent) of those qualifying for inclusion, the drainage
was by separately organized drainage districts. Nearly all of
these separately organized districts represented projects already
listed. Only 99 projects qualifying for inclusion in the 1960
Census of Drainage, and not already listed from other sources,
were found as a result of this canvass of "irrigation enterprises."
Soil Conservation Service canvass. — At the request of the Bu-
reau, the officials of the Soil Conservation Service, Washington,
D.C., asked each of the State conservationists to require that
their work unit conservationists prepare a list of drainage opera-
tions for each county in their respective areas.
The work unit conservationists were instructed to include "only
projects that provide drainage benefits for approximately 500 or
more acres of land for agriculture" and to include only "jobs
completed or started since January 1, 1950." They were re-
quested to include "all projects — group, individual, and public —
irrespective of whether they received technical assistance from
the Soil Conservation Service."
The listing form provided for the inclusion of the name of the
project ; the approximate acres benefited ; whether the project
represented a single farm, a cooperative or mutual, or a legally
organized project ; and the name and address of the person or
persons who might be contacted for information concerning the
physical works and costs, and for maps or plats. Facsimiles of
the listing form and of the covering memorandum are included
in the appendix.
The projects for which lists were received totalled 4,602 for
610 counties. For each of the other counties, except for 77 coun-
ties in Missouri for which officials of the Soil Conservation Service
were unable to provide information, either a listing form checked
"No projects" or a memorandum stating there were no such
projects, was received.
As a result of this prelisting of projects by the Soil Conserva-
tion Service, 2,935 projects were added to the Census lists. Of
the 9,29s drainage projects (county count) in 1960, more than
one-fourth (2,456) represented projects that had been added to
the advance listing as a result of the Soil Conservation Service
canvass. Of the 4,602 projects listed in the Soil Conservation
Service canvass, 2,146 represented projects already listed by the
Census, or projects that were found as not qualifying for
inclusion.
In the field enumeration, further information obtained from
the Soil Conservation Service local offices accounted for a large
proportion of the 532 additional projects found by Census
enumerators.
The drainage questionnaire. — For the 1960 Census, the same
questionnaire form (Dl) was used for all States. A facsimile
of this questionnaire appears in the appendix.
In the arrangement and design of the questionnaire, considera-
tion was given to the use of the form for self-enumeration, maxi-
mum use of 1950 information as a guide to the enumerator,
simplification in the enumeration, and for the office processing
of the data.
The name of the State and county were placed at the beginning
of the questionnaire, since they assisted in the identification of
a project. For intercounty projects, the portion in each county
was enumerated separately and the inquiries, therefore, referred
only to the portion within the specified county.
Section I provided for the identification and organization of the
project. For all prelisted projects, the identification was entered
in advance of the assignment for enumeration. Other inquiries
related to the type of organization, the period in which the project
or organization was started, and, if an intercounty project, the
names of the other counties in which the project lands were
situated.
Supplementary information, useful in the processing of the
data, was sought through inquiries on whether there was active
management of the project, and, if not, whether the project or
organization had been dissolved, and whether the organization
provided any major public service other than drainage.
Section II was designed to record the drainage activities during
the decade, 1950-1959. A series of "No- Yes" questions described
the various types of drainage activity and provided for skipping
of the remainder of the section if there was no drainage activity.
Data were requested for the cost of all drainage works and
services, for the physical quantity of each major type of new
works constructed, and for the cost of all new works. A descrip-
tive entry was required for types of new works not listed. An
inquiry on location of the outlet of the new drainage works helped
to identify and locate the lands of the project.
Section III contained inquiries related to the area in the project,
starting with the area in 1950. For projects included in the 1950
Census, the 1950 area was posted prior to the enumeration. This
was followed by an inquiry on the area added since January 1,
1950, and on the area in 1960. This section also included in-
quiries to determine if any extensive portion of the land in the
project area received no drainage benefits or was not being used
for agriculture.
Section IV obtained information regarding areas overlapped
by other projects. A distinction was made between land provided
separate or supplemental service and land taken over by or from
another project.
In Section V, provision was made for listing the name of the
person, or persons, who supplied the information and the certifi-
cation of the filled questionnaire by the enumerator and his
supervisor.
Shaded squares on the questionnaire gave notice to the enumer-
ator that additional information was required in respect to the
project. Shaded squares opposite the area data indicated that
XIV
DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
the location and approximate boundaries of these areas must be
entered and identified on a map. When this additional work of
enumeration was completed, an "X" was to be entered in the
shaded square. A shaded square below the inquiry calling for
a listing of the other counties involved in an intercounty project
served as a reminder that the portion of each of these other
counties must be enumerated also.
The questionnaire carried worksheets on the reverse side to
facilitate the summarization of drainage activities for the 10-year
period and for obtaining a breakdown by counties of data for
intercounty projects. A township outline map, also on the back
of the questionnaire, provided a place for sketching the location
and approximate boundaries of the area served.
Preparation of a drainage map. — In addition to a filled question-
naire, the enumeration of a drainage project required the locating
of each project on a map and the outlining of the approximate
boundaries of the area served. For projects included in the 1950
Census, the enumerator was furnished a county map on which
the location and approximate boundaries of these projects had
been entered in the 1950 Census. Thus, the 1960 enumerator gen-
erally needed only to map projects not included in the 1950 Census
and show changes in areas represented by projects already
mapped. Of course, if he found the 1950 mapping to be in error
he was expected to correct it. If desired, a separate map or
tracing could be submitted, or a sketch drawn on the back of the
questionnaire.
Mail canvass. — The listing of drainage projects by the Soil
Conservation Service indicated that for 8 of the 48 conterminous
States for which no drainage projects were found in the preced-
ing drainage censuses, no drainage undertakings benefiting 500
or more acres of agricultural land had been undertaken during
the 10-year period since 1950. Consequently, no further canvass
was needed in these 8 States. These States were the New
England States, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
In Alabama, Georgia, New Jersey, and New York, there were
so few projects that a field canvass was not justified, from the
standpoint of economy. A similar situation prevailed for Arizona,
Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and
Wyoming where the need for much of the drainage had developed
because of irrigation and the projects would not qualify for
inclusion in the 1960 Census. The enumeration in these 12 States
was conducted wholly by mail.
In the remaining States, a mail canvass was used for most of
the counties for which there were less than 5 known drainage
projects to be enumerated. Exceptions were made mostly for (1)
"county-drain'' States where several drains under the same man-
agement might be included in one report, (2) those instances
where an enumerator would need to go into the county to com-
plete the enumeration of intercounty projects, and (3) counties
that involved a minimum of additional time and travel on the part
of an enumerator assigned to an adjacent county. In several
instances, enumerators were used to complete the enumeration
initiated by mail canvass.
Of 1,336 counties requiring reports, 271 were completed by mail
canvass and 1,065 by field enumeration. Of the 1,065 counties
completed by field enumeration, the initial canvass in 34 counties
was by mail, and in 61 other counties a part of the enumeration
was by mail canvass. The 979 projects included in the mail can-
vass required 2,034 mailings, with the enumeration completed for
870 projects and with 109 projects assigned to enumerators for
completion.
A facsimile of the letter used to accompany the mailed question-
naire is included in the appendix.
A mail followup was used to complete the enumeration in in-
stances where the enumerator failed to obtain all the necessary
information and the lacking information could not be estimated
satisfactorily.
The local offices of the Soil Conservation Service provided as-
sistance in numerous instances where there was difficulty in ob-
taining a satisfactory address or where the necessary information
was incomplete. Projects for which assistance was asked were
those for which the Soil Conservation Service had provided tech-
nical assistance, or legal organizations for which the information
could be obtained readily from public records. Many of the legally
organized projects, for which information was needed, had been
inactive for years, or dissolved with no present management or
organization. Dependence was placed, to a large extent, on the
Soil Conservation Service for information for inactive or dissolved
drainage projects for which no person who was ever associated
with the organization could be found.
Field enumeration. — Enumerators for the Census of Drainage
were selected from crew leaders and, in a few instances, from
enumerators employed in the general 1959 Census of Agriculture.
For the 1960 Census of Drainage, 156 enumerators and 21 super-
visors were employed. The enumerator assignments averaged
about 4Vi weeks in duration.
The enumerators and supervisors were trained simultaneously
at 10 training locations, selected to provide a minimum of com-
bined travel. The training consisted of two days of technical in-
struction covering all phases of the enumeration with emphasis
on problem situations that could be expected.
The unit of assignment was a county, with each enumerator
generally assigned several counties. A drainage enumerator was
paid $1.95 for each authorized hour worked. He was allowed 7
cents per mile for the use of his automobile on official travel,
and $12.00 per diem for living expenses when overnight stops
away from home were required.
There was no routine procedure for finding the information
needed for the enumeration. The enumeration might require in-
terviews with various individuals and public officials directly
connected with specific drainage organizations, or who, because
of their public office, might have knowledge of drainage under-
takings in the area or records pertaining to such undertakings,
or of the present condition and use of lands represented by proj-
ects mapped in the 1950 Census. The enumeration of a particular
project often required interviews with several individuals and the
examination of various public records and maps. Records per-
taining to legally organized drainage projects were generally
found among the county court records. Sometimes, records were
in the hands of town or township officials, or with officials of the
drainage organization. At times they were fragmentary. In a
few cases records were nonexistent. The records were seldom in
such form that the desired information could be taken off directly.
When recorded information for an item was not available, the
enumerator was instructed to obtain an estimate from a reliable
respondent.
Of the 8,485 drainage projects for which data were tabulated
in the 1960 Census, 2,348 were inactive throughout the 10-year
period 1950-59. For many of these projects, the enumerator
could find no person connected with the organization to furnish
information regarding the project. In some instances, projects
had been inactive over such a long period of time that few indi-
viduals could be found who knew that the project had ever
existed. In other cases, the enumeration could be accomplished
only through inquiry of local officials or affected landowners as
to whether the area shown for the project in the 1950 enumeration
included any extensive areas which were no longer receiving
drainage benefits or were not being used for agriculture.
Completed counties. — As the enumeration of each county was
completed, the enumerator turned over to his supervisor all
enumerative materials for the county. The supervisor was
required to review these materials, following an outline of checks
provided for this purpose. After reviewing the materials for
each county, the supervisor forwarded them to Washington for
processing.

OFFICE PROCESSING
Editing.— Upon receipt in Washington, the drainage question-
naires and maps were examined for completeness and consistency
in preparation for tabulation of the data and the reproduction of
the maps. A check was made to see that all material for each
county had been received including a filled questionnaire for each
project. The list of projects that had been furnished prior to
enumeration was reviewed for coverage. Omitted items of infor-
mation were supplied, when available from records in the Bureau,
or the figures could be estimated with reasonable accuracy. In-
consistencies between the areas stated in the reports and those
mapped were reconciled, insofar as possible, on the basis of the
information available. When the available information was
insufficient to supply missing data, or to reconcile discrepancies,
the needed additional information was obtained through cor-
respondence.
For each intercounty project, the reports were checked to
ascertain that complete and separate information was shown for
each county part without duplication.
Questionnaires representing undertakings or organizations not
qualifying for inclusion in the 1960 Census, as well as those
representing duplications, were "rejected." In preparing the
advance listing of drainage projects, the names of those for which
there was insufficient information to determine whether they
would meet the 1000 criteria were purposefully included. The
enumerator did not make the decision whether a questionnaire
should be filled for such projects. On the contrary, he was re-
quired to fill a questionnaire, thus providing documentary evi-
dence as to why he project did not qualify. (For 1960 criteria,
see "Defiuitions and Explanations.") Of 11,483 questionnaires
returned in the enumeration, 2,072 were later rejected as not
qualifying or because of duplication, and 113 were for projects
which had been superseded by other projects during the 10-year
period, 1950-1959.
All separate materials, including correspondence, sketch maps,
etc. : the worksheets on the reverse of the questionaire ; and
notations entered under "Remarks" or elsewhere on the enumera-
tive materials, were examined for information that might be of
assistance in the editing.
To check the mapping, the plat for each drainage project was
identified on the county map. If a separate map, sketch, or trac-
ing of a project was furnished, it was checked against the county
map. If not already plotted, the project was entered on the
county map ; if in error, the plotting on the county map was
corrected. The location, as shown on the map, was checked
against any information as to location given on the questionnaire
or other materials such as the name of the project, the location
of the outlet, overlapping projects, land descriptions, and the
like. The extent of the mapped area for each project was
checked visually to see that it was reasonably consistent with
the area reported on the questionnaire. Areas omitted from the
questionnaire were obtained by planimeter measurement of the
mapped areas. If the mapped and reported areas differed sub-
stantially, available information in the Bureau, including mate-
rials for the project from earlier censuses, were generally suffi-
cient for making the necessary correction.
If extensive nondrained or nonagricultural areas were indicated
on the questionnaire, but were not identified on the map, such
areas could generally be identified by use of materials available
in the Bureau such as aerial photographs and detailed maps
showing current cultural and physical information. Likewise, if
it was evident that an enumerator had omitted to indicate any
extensive nonagricultural areas located within drainage projects,
such as cities, airports, recreation areas, parks, military installa-
tions, wildlife refuges, State or National Forests, or commercial
woodlands, the nonagx'icultural portions were determined on the
basis of these materials.
In checking the county map to the questionnaires, careful con-
sideration was given to the delineation of overlapped areas.
often the extent of supersedence of a project by another, or the
Quantitative determination of areas served by two or more proj-
ects, could lie determined only by careful plotting of the over-
lapping projects. In counties with extensive overlapping, the
determination of the net area of land benefited by all projects
generally, of necessity, had to be based almost entirely on the
mapped areas. In fact, for most counties in the "county-drain"
States, the net area serviced by county drains could be obtained
only by plotting the separate drains, then measuring the overall
mapped area. This had been the procedure for the "county-drain"
States in 1950; therefore, only additions and deletions had to be
considered in 1960.
After reconciling the questionnaires and the mapped areas, a
determination of the area served in 1960, excluding any extensive
areas not receiving drainage benefits from works of the project
or not used for agriculture, was made for each project. The area
served by a project included lands served jointly by it and other
projects. Any portion of the project which bad been taken over
by some other project, however, was excluded. The 1960 area
in individual drainage projects was used to tabulate the area
of drainage projects by size of project, by type of organization,
and by year of organization. That portion, if any, of the 1960
area which was provided separate or supplemental drainage
service by one or more other drainage projects was also
determined.
To obtain net acreage figures for land in drainage projects,
counting only once the land in each project, a worksbeeet was
prepared for each county. (A facsimile of this worksheet is
included in the appendix.) Since the 1960 enumeration utilized
1950 Census information as a starting point for both the filling
of a questionnaire and for performing the required map work,
the worksheet also started with the 1950 information. The work-
sheet provided for posting (1) changes from the data reported
in 1950, (2) areas of extensive nonbenefited or nonagricultural
lands within drainage projects, and (3) areas served by two or
more projects. For each of these categories, each tract of land
was to be entered only once. In recording changes in areas
since 1950, a distinction was made between lauds for which
drainage was established before 1950 and areas added in the
1950-1959 period.
To insure reasonable accuracy in the areas mapped, the net
totals obtained from the worksheet were checked to planimeter
measurements of the mapped areas in the county. A similar
check against planimeter measurements had been made in 1950.
If there were no substantial changes since 1950, no remeasure-
ment was made for 1960.
Tabulation of data. — The county worksheets prepared in con-
junction with the editing were used as a source for posting the
total area in drainage projects, counting only once land served
by two or more projects. This net area represented the land
classified (1) on the basis of agricultural use, (2) by year when
drainage was established, and (3) by number of projects pro-
viding drainage service. All other data were tabulated by adding
the items as determined for each individual project.
Preparation of maps. — After reconciling the maps and ques-
tionnaires, a tracing was made of each county map outlining the
overall areas in drainage projects, exclusive of any designated
nondrained or nonagricultural portions and projects not qualify-
ing under the 1960 criteria. These tracings of individual counties
were then used for the preparation of the individual State and
the United States drainage maps.
XVI
DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
General. — Although the definitions and explanations which fol-
low refer specifically to the 1960 Census of Drainage, many of
them also apply to earlier censuses. Items for which the 1960
definitions and explanations are not adequate for earlier years
are discussed further under "Comparability of data." Most of
the definitions consist of a resumed of the questionnaire wording,
supplemented by excerpts from instructions given to enumerators.
Drainage of agricultural lands, from the standpoint of adequacy,
can represent varying degrees of improvement. Therefore, the
term "drainage" is not subject to a precise definition. It can
be defined only in general terms, subject to considerable variation
in application by individual respondents and enumerators. In
most instances, however, the resulting data have reasonable over-
all accuracy and usefulness. It should be kept in mind that in
individual instances, had the information been obtained from
other respondents or by other enumerators, the results could
have been somewhat different. This situation helps to explain
some of the differences in the results obtained in the different
censuses. (See discussion of "Comparability of data.") There
are many geographic areas for which the totals shown in 1960
for land with drains established before 1950 differ from the
total areas in drainage projects as reported in the 1950 Census
by amounts greater than can be explained by changes in
definition.
The use in the 1960 enumeration of areas drained and mapped
lands as obtained in the 1950 Census, undoubtedly, had some in-
fluence on the data tabulated for 1960 and for the mapped areas
shown for 1960. A disadvantage of this procedure was the pos-
sible acceptance of the 1950 information in instances where more
reliable data could have been obtained. The 1960 enumerator,
however, was instructed to correct any errors found in the 1950
enumeration. It is likely, therefore, that the undetected errors
were fewer than would have resulted in an enumeration that
did not make use of information collected previously. On the
whole, this practice probably did not influence the 1960 data
appreciably.
Drainage. — The term "drainage" as used in this volume refers
to agricultural drainage. Drainage is the removal, by artificial
means, of excess water to improve the condition of the land for
agricultural use. Drainage is accomplished by means of con-
structed works and may represent deepening, widening, or
straightening of a natural channel ; the construction of open
ditches ; the installation of underground tile or conduits ; the
construction of drainage wells ; the installation of pumps for
removal of water ; or a combination of these methods, including
associated works such as dikes or levees, floodgates, bridges and
culverts, land leveling, and removal of snags, brush, or other
obstructions which impede water flow.
Storm sewers, sanitary drains, highway ditches, and drains
for industrial sites were not considered drainage works, for pur-
poses of the census, unless they also accomplished improvement of
agricultural lands.
The mere protection of land from flood waters or from surface
runoff, with no drainage works provided to remove gravitational
soil water from the protected lands, was not considered as
drainage. Flood control works may involve (1) channel con-
struction or improvement, (2) the inclusion of floodgates and
outlet drains through the constructed levees so as not to impair
natural drainage or drainage previously established, or (3) work
on levees or ditches associated with drainage. As a consequence,
it was sometimes difficult to distinguish between works serving
for flood control only and those providing drainage benefits.
Thus, some flood control projects of the U.S. Corps of Army
Engineers, or portions thereof, were considered as providing
drainage services and included in the 1960 Census. Examples
include several channel improvements in the Delta and other
alluvial areas in the Mississippi River basin. These, generally,
had been listed by the Soil Conservation Service as projects
undertaken since 1950 that provided drainage benefits to 500 or
more acres of agricultural land. Another example of borderline
projects included were those for which construction or enlarge-
ment of levees was accomplished by the U.S. Corps of Army
Engineers, but for which future maintenance was the responsi-
bility of drainage districts.
Drainage works constructed solely for the removal of irriga-
tion seepage water or for removal of alkali from the irrigated
lands were excluded for the purposes of the 1960 Census. Simi-
larly, when a drainage well or ditch served primarily as a source
of irrigation water, with drainage no longer a problem, such
projects were not to be included. Drainage established because
of irrigation, generally, is so tied in with the irrigation works
that it should be considered a part of the irrigation works and
system rather than drainage. (See "Scope of the 1960 Census
of Drainage.") Drainage operations benefiting naturally wet-
lands were to be included in the 1960 enumeration, even though
such lands were also provided with irrigation. As with drainage
coupled with flood control, there was evidence of lack of uni-
formity in determining when drainage of irrigated lands qualified
for inclusion. In a few instances, conflicting information was
obtained from different respondents for the same project.
Drainage project. — A drainage project is a plan undertaken as
a unit to provide new construction, or to provide maintenance
and operation of existing drainage works. A drainage project
represents an undertaking under one control, supervision, or
guidance.
A drainage project may be undertaken by a single landowner.
Often, a farmowner cannot accomplish optimum drainage of his
land, acting alone. Obtaining an outlet for his ditches may in-
volve crossing some other owner's land. As a consequence, much
of the drainage in the United States has been accomplished as
community undertakings, participated in by landowners who have
common drainage interests. The administrative structure set
up to provide unified action for handling the drainage problem
is referred to as its organization. All drainage activities under
the direct supervision of one organization or management com-
prise one project. A drainage project may refer to an accom-
plished plan, i.e., the physical works have been provided and no
further work or maintenance is anticipated on the part of the
original organization.
For the 1960 Census, all drains constructed and/or operated by
one organization were considered as one project even though they
were noncontiguous and were constructed at various times. For
example, all public drains under the administration of county
officials, or under a special board set up to administer public
drains in the county, are treated herein as one project. (See
discussion of "County-drain" States.) Similarly, drainage sub-
districts administered by the officials of the parent district were
generally included with the parent district.
When identified, all drains, formerly but no longer under county
jurisdiction and with no present organization responsible for
their maintenance, were grouped together and included in one
separate report. Such drainage "district" may have been dis-
continued through petition of the landowners or other legal
action, or may no longer be considered as under county juris-
diction because of years of inactivity. The instructions to enu-
merators did not ask specifically for the identification of county
drains that had been withdrawn from the county system. The
enumeration instructions specified that for most counties in
"county-drain" States, the net area had been satisfactorily de-
termined and mapped in 1950 and, therefore, it would be necessary
only to determine the area brought in by new drainage works
since 1950. Thus, occasionally a 1960 report for county drains
may have included some drains not identified as not being under
county management in 1960.
INTRODUCTION
XVII
For Delaware, which had been enumerated as a "county-drain"
State in 1950, even though the predominant form of drainage
organization was the drainage district (see discussion of "County-
drain" and "Drainage-district" States), a similar procedure was
followed even though each of the inactive drains, arbitrarily
combined in the one report in 1960, had originally had its own
separate organization. The extensive overlapping and super-
sedence, which had occurred through years of drainage activity
in the State and which had led to the use of a county question-
naire in 1950, was responsible for similar treatment of all inactive
drains in 1960.
Only projects providing drainage benefits to 500 or more acres
of agricultural land as of January 1, 1960, were included in the
1960 Census. (See definition of "Drainage.") Enumerators
were instructed to consider as agricultural land all woodland and
wasteland within farms. They were instructed not to consider
as agricultural land any areas, used solely for the production
of wood or timber, which were not a part of a farm.
A project need not provide complete drainage for the area
served. Many projects, especially public drains, provided only
the principal channel or outlet drain. The construction of the
laterals and field drains, which were required to provide complete
drainage of the land, may have been left to the individual farm
owners. These supplemental drains, though providing drainage
to the same area and necessary for the complete drainage system,
were not included with the project for which they furnished
supplemental works, but each was considered a separate project,
and was separately enumerated if benefiting 500 or more acres.
For projects for which works had been taken over by another
project (see "Superseded projects."), any portion not taken over
was considered a separate project. If the entire project had been
taken over, or if the portion not taken over was less than 500
acres, the project was excluded from the census.
The term "project," for describing the unit for enumeration in
the 1960 Census, was usually used in preference to "enterprise"
or "organization." "Project" more nearly indicates the physical
works represented. "Enterprise" or "organization" refers more
to the management and implies reference to all activities of the
management which may include functions other than drainage.
Furthermore, "organization" implies current active management
of a group undertaking. The 1960 Census also included projects
for which there was no longer an organization in addition to proj-
ects having a definite organization, and projects established by
individual owners and cooperative groups without formal
organization.
Intercounty projects. — For drainage projects extending into
two or more counties, a separate report was obtained for the por-
tion in each county. In presenting data by counties the portion in
each county was treated as a separate project, but in presenting
data by States the entire project was considered as a unit. Thus,
the count of projects shown by counties in County Table 1 will
not add to the count shown for the State. Differences in the
"county count" and in the "State count" are shown in Summary
Table 6. In the 1960 Census, 727 intercounty projects were re-
ported with 1,561 county portions. Of these intercounty projects,
643 included land in two counties ; 77, in three counties ; 3, in four
counties ; 2, in five counties ; 1, in seven counties : and 1, in
eighteen counties.
For intercounty projects, the determination of whether the
project qualified, from the standpoint of acreage, for inclusion in
the 1960 Census was based on the entire project. For that reason,
some county parts, treated as separate projects in the presentation
of data by counties, represented fewer than 500 acres of drained
agricultural lands.
If separate records of the drainage activities for each county
part were not available for an intercounty project, the enumerator
was instructed t" allocate mi an area basis, or other equitable
basis, the portion applicable in each county.
For intercounty drains represented in county-drain systems, the
enumeration instructions required thai the portion in each county
lie included in one report covering all county drains in the county.
This procedure was to be followed irrespective of whether each
county part was administered separately, or whether the entire
project was administered wholly by one of the counties Or jointly
by the counties affected. (See "Drainage projects by size.")
Superseded project. — Many drainage organizations were estab-
lished for a specific purpose such as to construct new drainage
facilities, or to renovate or enlarge facilities established by an
earlier organization. Upon accomplishment of its immediate
objective, the organization often became inactive or was dissolved.
When further work was needed, a new organization was estab-
lished. The new project may have included the same land, more
acreage, or less acreage. Over the years there has been extensive
overlapping of drainage projects, only a portion of which may
now have an active organization. (See "History of the Census
of Drainage.")
Projects wholly superseded prior to 1950 were generally ex-
cluded from the 1960 enumeration. Those wholly superseded be-
tween 1950 and 1960 were always excluded from the 1960 count
of drainage projects. If. however, a superseded project reported
drainage operations during the decade, 1950-1959, such operations
were included in the data presented for drainage operations, 1950-
1959. (See Summary Table 6.) Occasionally, this resulted in a
greater number of projects reporting operations during 1950-1959
than the total number of projects in 1960.
Control of a project may pass from one organization to another
through court action. More often, change in control has occurred
when an organization originally responsible for the construction
and the maintenance merely ceased to actively operate the drain-
age works or to provide maintenance, and these functions were
assumed by a new organization or management ; or the old works
were replaced or incorporated in the works of a new organization.
Whenever the area of a project with no active organization was
overlapped by one with active organization, or by one more re-
cently organized if neither project had active organization, the
editing procedure required that the overlapped area be considered
as having been taken over by the active or more recent organiza-
tion. Projects of less than 500 acres and. therefore, not included
in the Census, were never considered as having taken over works
of another project.
Area in drainage projects. — The area in a drainage project is
usually the area benefited by the drainage works. For a project
undertaken by landowners, either individually or cooperatively,
it is the area improved or benefited for agriculture as a result of
the drainage facilities provided. For a legally organized drain-
age project, the area in the drainage project is the area established
by the decree setting up the drainage district or project. If
public drains are administered on a countywide basis, or on the
basis of established political boundaries, it is the area directly
benefited by the drainage works. In special districts organized
primarily for purposes other than drainage, it is the entire area
in the district even though only part may be benefited by the
drainage works.
The area served by two or more projects was included in each
project. The area taken over by one project from another was
included in only one, usually the later project. ( See discussion
of "Superseded projects.")
Since the area of a legally organized project is that established
by the court or other authority, it has definable boundaries. If
special taxes were collected for the drainage, the area taxed can
be considered as the area in the project. The 1930 Census made
a distinction between total area and area assessed but the differ-
ence amounted to less than one-third of one percent. Changes in
XVIII
DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
area of a legally organized project may occur because of addition
or deletion of land through action of the court or other authority
responsible for the organization. Within the boundaries of a
project there may be tracts that receive no drainage benefits or
land not assessed. Such excluded areas may or may not have been
shown in the mapping. This may account for some of the differ-
ences between reported and plotted areas.
Generally, the area in a public or legally organized drainage
project represents the area benefited. In some instances, howrever,
land liable as security for bonds or other obligations of a drainage
organization may include some high or ridge lands with adequate
natural drainage, or some wetlands not reclaimable. Also, the
project area may include some benefited land not utilized for
agriculture. The 1960 enumeration provided for the determina-
tion of any contiguous areas, totaling 500 or more acres, not used
for agriculture or not benefited by the drainage works. (See
"Area not used for agriculture or not drained.")
For organizations providing a major public service other than
drainage, the area may include the entire district although the
drainage service provided may benefit only a portion of it.
For projects owned by one landowner and projects representing
drainage undertakings of two or more landowners cooperating
without organization under statute law, the determination of
the area was less precise and represented the judgment of the
respondent as to the area improved or benefited. The area was
often estimated by the Soil Conservation Service in the case of
projects for which they provided technical assistance.
The presentation of the 1960 data includes several items relating
to area in drainage projects for which a special explanation is
considered necessary.
1. Total area in drainage projects, as presented in line 5 of
County Table 1, line 4 of State Table 1, and Summary Tables
1 and 5, and Land in drainage projects as presented in column
1 of Summary Table 7 represents the total area of land, within
the specified geographic unit, that was in drainage projects
included in the 1960 Census. Land in two or more drainage
projects was counted only once. This item includes some land
not used for agriculture and some land not drained. (See
"Area not used for agriculture or not drained.")
2. Net area drained and used for agriculture, as presented in
line 8 of County Table 1, line 6 of State Table 1, and Summary
Tables 1 and 5, and Land in drainage projects as presented in
column 1 of Summary Tables S and 13, excluded extensive
contiguous areas of land not used for agriculture and land not
drained. (See "Area not used for agriculture or not drained.")
Land in two or more projects is counted only once.
3. Totals of areas of individual projects, as presented in line
10 of Summary Tables 1 and 5, column 15 of Summary Table S,
and the area data for drainage projects classified by size of
project, by type of organization, and by year started or organ-
ized (County Table 1, State Tables 1 through 4, and Summary
Tables 1 through 5, and 11, 12, and 13) represent the sum of
the areas in individual projects with no deduction for land
included in two or more projects. Extensive contiguous areas
of land not used for agriculture and land not drained were
excluded from this item. (See "Area not used for agriculture
or not drained.") The difference between this item and the
preceding item is due to land served by two or more projects.
(See "Area served by two or more projects.")
Area not used for agriculture or not drained. — The area in
drainage projects frequently included land that was not being
used for agriculture or land that was not receiving drainage
benefits from works installed or operated by the project. (See
definition of "Area in drainage projects.") Two questions (16
and 17) on the 1960 Drainage Questionnaire identified contiguous
tracts of 500 or more acres of such land within the area reported
for the project. The area not benefited might represent land
for which the drainage works had completely deteriorated or land
for which no drains had been provided. For a project which
provided both drainage and flood protection, the questionnaires
identified, for exclusion, any land protected from overflow with
no drains provided. Land with drainage required solely because
of irrigation was, likewise, identified and excluded.
Land within drainage project boundaries not used for agricul-
ture might be wasteland, cutover land, residential or industrial
areas, airports, military installations, public parks, wildlife
refuges, State or National Forests, commercial woodland, or other
lands in nonagricultural use.
Inquiries which served to identify areas of nonagricultural or
nonbenefited lands within drainage projects could not be utilized
advantageously to locate all such lands. For that reason, the
effort was restricted to the determination of contiguous areas of
500 or more acres. In the application of this requirement, small
scattered tracts of benefited agricultural lands, in extensive areas
predominantly nondrained or nonbenefited, were sometimes dis-
regarded in the enumeration or in the office processing. Enumer-
ators, also, occasionally failed to report areas, such as towns,
airports, public parks, wastelands, etc., which obviously were
nonagricultural or nonbenefited. This omission may have been
due to misunderstanding as to the nature of the information
available for the project from the 1950 Census. Information for
lands not used for agriculture or not benefited was not obtained
in 1950. The 1960 instructions had stressed the need for obtain-
ing changes in operations since 1950. With no change in the
situation, the enumerator may not have been aware of the need
for this information. Whenever an omission was indicated, the
nonagricultural or nonbenefited areas were determined through
correspondence or from examination of maps and aerial photo-
graphs available in the Bureau.
The item identified in the tables as "Net area drained and used
for agriculture" was obtained by subtracting, from the total area
in drainage projects, only the included tracts of 500 or more con-
tiguous acres reported as not used for agriculture or not drained.
Thus, the area shown as drained and used for agriculture may
include many acres of interspersed nonagricultural or nondrained
lands in tracts of less than 500 contiguous acres. This explains
why the "Net area drained and used for agriculture" reported
for a county sometimes exceeds the total land area in farms.
In the tables showing the total areas of individual projects
classified by size, type of organization, and year started or organ-
ized, any contiguous tracts of 500 or more acres identified as being
nonagricultural or nondrained were excluded. If the total area
served by an individual project, exclusive of such nonagricultural
or nonbenefited lands, was less than 500 acres the project was
"rejected" and excluded from the 1960 totals. For intercounty
projects the determination was based on the entire area, and not
on the portion in each county.
The exclusion of nonbenefited portions, in the presentation of
area data for projects classified by size, by type of organization,
and by year started or organized, resulted in the data for one
Florida county showing one project with no acres. A major
project reported for Florida extended into 18 counties several
of which were reported as receiving no drainage benefits as of
January 1, 1960, from works constructed or operated by the proj-
ect. Much of the work done prior to the census date represented
planning and engineering. Completed construction and costs for
operation of drainage works were limited, as of January 1, 1960,
to 9 of the 18 counties.
Land by year drainage was established. — The area drained and
used for agriculture was classified, on the basis of when the drain-
age was established, into two groups, as follows: (1) Drainage
established before 1950 and (2) area added 1950-1959. If a
project took over the works of another, or provided supplemental
service to an area included in an earlier project, the land was
usually classified on the basis of the drainage established by the
earlier project. Thus, land reported as in drainage projects in
the 1950 Census was, with few exceptions, classed as provided
with drainage prior to 1950. Generally, for drainage projects
reported as organized or started prior to 1950, all the land re-
ported as in the project on January 1, 1950 (question 13 on the
questionnaire) was classed as having drainage established before
INTRODUCTION
XIX
1950. Land reported as added since January 1, 1950 (question 14
on the questionnaire) was considered as land with drainage es-
tablished since 1950, provided new works were reported and the
added area did not represent an overlapping of area included in
the 1950 area of some other project. Additions to a project, which
had been made because the lands were already receiving drainage
benefits, were not considered as "area added 1950-1959."
For a project started in 1950 or later, the entire area, except
for any portion overlapping an older project, was classed as having
drainage established in the 1950-1959 period. Usually, the deter-
mination of drainage established for new areas was supported
by reports of newly constructed drainage works. In a few in-
stances, the drainage works reported for the newly drained lands
consisted entirely of cleanout or restoration of old works. If
the land had not been included in the 1950 Census, or in another
project reported in 1960, the area was classed as having had
its drainage established in the 1950-1959 period, on the assump-
tion that the old works requiring renovation had ceased to provide
the area with drainage benefits.
The assessed or taxed area of a project sometimes included
land for which the drainage had not been established. In the
case of an organization providing a public service, other than
drainage, only a portion of the area of the project may have been
receiving drainage benefits. For this reason, there were some
instances where the 1950 area of a project included land for which
drainage was actually first established since 1950.
Land classified on the basis of when drainage was established
should not be confused with land reported for drainage projects
classified on the basis of when the project or organization was
started. (See Summary Table 13 and discussion of "Drainage
projects by year started or organized.")
Area served by two or more projects. — The area served by two
or more projects was obtained (1) through the questionnaire
inquiries on overlapped area (Section IV of the questionnaire)
and (2) by checking the mapped boundaries of each project.
Careful determination of the overlapped areas was essential to
the determination of the net land benefited by drainage projects
and, for that reason, received special consideration in the editing
process. A distinction was made between areas taken over and
areas provided separate or supplemental service.
Usually, separate or supplemental service was the result of one
project providing the outlet drainage facilities and another the
laterals or branch drains. Or, each may have provided certain
specified drainage works or services. Sometimes three or more
projects provided service to the same area. As a general rule,
the editing instructions considered that overlapped areas, as de-
termined from the mapping of the lands in each project, repre-
sented dual service except when it was determined that one
project had taken over the lands of another.
In making the determination of the area served by two or more
projects, consideration was given to possible errors in mapping.
If the plotted areas of two projects indicated overlapping, but
the net area mapped for the two projects was equal to the sum of
the areas reported for each without any deduction for overlap,
the projects were considered as not having any area in common.
A similar determination was made for adjoining projects when
one did not provide an outlet for the other. The apparent over-
lap may have been indicated solely because the source materials
for mapping did not reflect all revisions in the boundaries of
each of the two projects.
In presenting the portion of the net land area in drainage
projects represented by tracts served by two or more projects
(line 11 of County Table 1, line 9 of State Table 1, and Summary
Tables 1 and 5, and columns 7-10 of Summary Table 8) , each tract
served by two or more projects was counted only once. In pre-
senting the portion of the totals of areas of individual projects
provided with service by one or more other projects (column 3
of State Tables 2, 3, and 4; also column 3 of Summary Tables
2, 3, and 4) each tract receiving service from two or more projects
was Included for each of the projects. The differences in the
totals shown for these two items were the result of the multiple
counting, in the latter, of land served by two or more projects.
Lands served by two projects were included in each of the two
projects; lands served by three projects, in each of the three;
etc. The total net area drained and used for agriculture, likewise,
does not contain any duplication of land served by two or more
projects but the totals of the areas of individual projects include
multiple counting of the land included in more than one project.
Approximate land area. — The approximate land area comprises
land in farms, cities, forests, swamps, deserts, etc., and the area
occupied by streams, sloughs, estuaries, and canals less than one-
eighth of a mile in width, and lakes, reservoirs, and ponds of less
than 40 acres. Changes since 1940 reflect political changes in
boundaries or actual changes in land area caused by changes
in number and size of reservoirs, lakes, etc. The figures for 1940
represent a complete redetermination of the area and may differ
from those shown for earlier years.
Land in farms. — The acreage designated under "Land in farms"
was obtained in the census of agriculture. The "land in farms"
figures, shown in the tables presenting data for the 1960 Census
of Drainage, are from the 1959 Census of Agriculture taken in
the fall of that year. "Land in farms" consists primarily of
lands used for agriculture, but also includes considerable areas
not actually under cultivation nor used for pasture or grazing.
All woodlands and wastelands owned or rented by farm operators
were included unless being held for nonagricultural purposes or
unless the acreage was unusually large.
Drainage operations, 1950-1959. — For each project included in
the 1960 Census, information was obtained for drainage activities
for the 10-year period, 1950 to 1959, inclusive. The 10-year period
could be on either a calendar- or fiscal-year basis. In either case
a report was intended to include a full 10-year period. For con-
venience, a worksheet was provided for entering data for each
of the 10 years.
Reports on drainage works and services during this 10-year
period were required for all projects which, at any time during
the period, provided drainage benefits to 500 or more acres which
were being used for agriculture in 1960. The data for drainage
works and services, therefore, include totals for some projects
which had been taken over by another project prior to 1960.
When a project provided a major public service in addition to
drainage, the enumerator was instructed to include with the
drainage works ditches, pumps, or other works, or portions
thereof, that accomplished drainage of agricultural lands even
though these served primarily as storm sewers, sanitary drains,
highway ditches, or for the drainage of residential or industrial
sites, or for irrigation, or for some other special purpose. If no
separate records were kept, costs and works were to be allocated
to provide an equitable share to agricultural drainage. If the
allocation was not made in the field enumeration, the allocation
was made during office processing, unless the amounts involved
were exceptionally large. In the latter case, the information was
obtained through correspondence.
Cost of all drainage works and services. — The inquiry called for
the total cost of all drainage works and services provided for
the 10-year period, 1950-1959. The total was to include costs for
all drainage activities of the organization, including construction
or installation of new drainage works, enlargement or complete
replacement of prior works, cleanout or restoration of old works,
maintenance, operation, or repair of drainage works, and admin-
istration. The questionnaire required the inclusion of all costs
relating to the works and services provided, regardless of when
paid or to be paid. Specific mention was made of costs of organi-
zation, engineering, rights-of-way, legal services, and administra-
tion. Payments on principal or interest on bonds or notes were
XX
DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
not to be included. The enumeration instructions asked for the
inclusion of all costs for physical works, materials, equipment,
etc., regardless of the source of the funds used. Costs paid by
a county, a State, or the United States Government, or by another
drainage organization for use of facilities provided by the re-
porting organization were to be included.
New drainage works constructed, enlarged, or installed. — New
drainage works referred to the digging or placement of drains
where none existed before; the straightening, enlarging, widen-
ing, deepening, or relocation of natural channels or of prior
ditches ; or the installation or replacement of drainage pumps.
The original construction of levees or dikes for the protection
of lands provided with drainage, or their extension or enlarge-
ment, was, likewise, considered as new drainage construction.
Maintenance, cleanout, or restoration of prior works, with no
enlargement or change in the original works, were not considered
new drainage construction.
The enumerators experienced some difficulty in determining
when work on old drains was to be considered as new works.
For each of the three principal types of drainage works — open
ditches, tile or covered drains, and levees or dikes — information
was obtained as to the length of new construction ; and for pumps,
the number of newly installed pumps. New works represented
by other structures such as drainage wells, sumps, flood or tide
gates, bridges, culverts, wellhouses, and land leveling were to be
reported under "other." No information was obtained for these
"other" new drainage works except their type. The data pre-
sented include only a count of the projects reporting "other"
new works.
Costs of new works. — This part of the overall cost for drainage
was obtained in a separate question by asking how much of the
total cost of works and services represented the cost of new
drainage works reported.
Cost of maintenance, operation, repair, and administration. —
This was obtained by subtracting the costs of new works from
the total costs reported for all drainage works and services.
Drainage projects by size. — Drainage projects were classified
on the basis of the total acres of agricultural land receiving
drainage benefits from works of the project. In the classification
by size of project, the portion in two or more projects was in-
cluded in each project. For intercounty projects, the determina-
tion of size was based on the total acres in the project, not on
each county portion.
For a project comprising all drains under the jurisdiction of a
given county, the area represented the combined total of the
individual areas of drained laud in the county that were admin-
istered by county officials, including portions of intercounty drains
administered by other counties. Although projects with fewer
than 500 total acres were excluded from the 1960 Census, the
crediting of each portion of a county drain to the county in
which located resulted in reports for county drains for two coun-
ties in 1960 showing less than 500 acres of drained agricultural
lands. These two counties were Benton, Iowa, and Jerauld,
South Dakota. In 1950, there were three such "county-drain"
reports, the two counties mentioned above and Fulton, Kentucky.
For Delaware, all drainage projects for which there was no
active organization at the time of the census were grouped into
a single report for each county. This arbitrary procedure af-
fected the data presented by size of project.
Drainage projects by type of organization. — Drainage projects
were classed by type of organization into three groups :
1. Drains owned by one landowner — A landowner may be an
individual, a partnership, an estate, a private corporation,
or an institution.
2. Cooperative or mutual drains represent undertakings by two
or more landowners cooperating without special organization
under State drainage laws for the construction or operation
of drainage works benefiting their lands. Many of the
cooperative or group drainage projects were undertaken
under the guidance of the Soil Conservation Service.
3. Legally organized public drains represent community or pub-
lic drainage undertakings accomplished through some form
of governmental organization. These could be an organiza-
tion administered by public officials of a county, a township,
a State, an agency of the Federal government, or by specially
elected or appointed officials or boards. A large variety of
general or special State laws provide for equitable coopera-
tion among landowners who will be benefited by a drainage
undertaking. (A synopsis of drainage laws in the various
States was included in the 1940 Census of Drainage report.)
Although legally organized drainage projects represent a large
variety of types, most fall into two major groups. (1) County
drains are governed by county officials or by a special official
or board elected or appointed to administer public drainage under-
takings in the county. In the 1960 Census all county drains in
a county were treated as though they represented one project.
(See "Drainage project," "Intercounty projects," and "County-
drain" States.) (2) Drainage districts are governed by a special
official or board elected or appointed for that particular project.
(See "Drainage-district" States.)
Drainage projects by year started or organized. — The classifica-
tion of projects by the year in which they were started or organ-
ized provides an indication of relative drainage activity in
different periods of time. The drainage activity may not neces-
sarily have represented construction of new works or the estab-
lishment of drainage on lands not previously benefited. Fre-
quently the purpose of a new drainage project or organization
was the restoration or improvement of existing drainage facilities,
their extension, or the construction of supplemental works.
The classification of a project by year the project was started
or organized should not be confused with the classification of
the land by the year in which drainage was established. (See
"Land by year drainage was established.") A project started or
organized prior to 1950 may include some lands for which drainage
was first established since 1950 while a project started or or-
ganized since 1950 may include lands on which drainage had been
established by a prior project. State Table 4 and Summary Table
4 provide data on land by the year drainage was established for
projects started or organized before 1950, and those started or
organized in the period 1950-1959, respectively.
COMPARABILITY OF DATA
Continuity maintained despite changes. — The scope and content
of the Census of Drainage has varied considerably since the first
Census of Drainage in 1920. Notwithstanding the variation, a
reasonable degree of continuity has been maintained in the data
collected and tabulated. In 1920, 1930, and 1940, emphasis was
placed on the status of drainage facilities as of the census date
while in 1950 and 1960, emphasis was placed on the drainage
activities for the most recent 10-year period.
Changes in enumerative procedures. — The Census of Drainage
has always been primarily a census of community or public drain-
age undertakings and of the larger private drainage undertakings.
Variations in the methods employed and the scope of the census
have had the most effect on the number of projects covered but
have not greatly affected the comparability of other items. The
major changes have been (1) the elimination, in the enumeration,
of numerous projects which had been taken over by a later proj-
ect; (2) the exclusion of projects of under 500 acres which, be-
cause of their small size and tendency to represent overlapped
projects, had contributed very little to the overall drainage area ;
(3) the consolidation into a single report of undertakings under
common management; (4) the elimination of drainage undertak-
ings representing an integral part of irrigation with the drainage
required solely because of the irrigation of the land; and (5) the
identification of extensive contiguous areas, within drainage proj-
ects, that were not used for agriculture or not drained. It will be
noted that the changes listed under (1) and (3) had no effect on
INTRODUCTION
xxi
the net area or drainage facilities covered in the census; the
change under (2) reduced greatly the number of reports without
any substantial reduction in the area or drainage facilities cov-
ered; the effect of the change stated under <4» was restricted to
irrigated areas for which there was no need for drainage prior to
irrigation: and the effect of the change listed under (5) was to
provide more accurate data for lands which had been improved
for agriculture by drainage.
Elimination of superseded projects. — In the first three censuses
an attempt was made to obtain reports for all public drainage or-
ganizations, regardless of size, which had contributed to the in-
vestment and to the physical works represented in public drainage
undertakings in existence at the time of the census. Reports were
required for some organizations which had been wholly superseded
by later projects. Quite commonly, a drainage organization had
been established to provide a particular service and was dissolved
or discontinued upon completion of the specified undertaking.
When additional work was required, a new organization was
created. In some counties the same land had been covered several
times. For example, in 1940 in Ohio the total of areas of indi-
vidual projects was more than 3 times larger than the total land
area represented by all drainage projects in the State. (See
Summary Table 8. ) In the 1940 Census of Drainage Report, a dis-
tinction was made between "number of reports" and "number of
enterprises," the latter intended to represent projects that had not
been superseded by later organizations. For all drainage States
reported in that census, the number of reports totaled 79,220, of
which nearly half represented projects that had been superseded
by later projects. Only 42,363 of these reports, or 53.5 percent,
represented projects that had not been superseded.
The change in 1950, requiring the reporting of drainage activi-
ties for the most recent 10-year period, in lieu of an inventory of
all physical works and the total capital investment represented
by these works, made possible the elimination of reports which
had contributed to the drainage works and to capital investment,
but which no longer provided any drainage services. The effect
of this elimination, in respect to number of reports, is shown by a
comparison of number of projects, 1940, and number of reports.
1940. ( See Summary Table 6. )
Elimination of projects under 500 acres. — A large proportion
of the reports obtained in the first three censuses of drainage rep-
resented very small public drainage undertakings whose combined
contributions to the overall totals were negligible. In 1940, more
than half of the reports were under 500 acres but these small re-
ports contributed only 5 percent to the net land area represented
by all drainage projects. The decision to exclude public drainage
projects of under 500 acres in the 1950 Census enumeration did
not appreciably reduce the census coverage of drainage facilities
but did eliminate the necessity of obtaining large numbers of re-
ports that would contribute little significance to the statistics
collected. Privately owned drainage projects of under 500 acres
have been excluded from all five Censuses of Drainage.
A comparison of the total number of reports in 1940 and the
number in 1940 excluding those representing fewer than 500 acres,
is presented in Summary Table 6. Summary Table 11 provides a
comparison of the totals of the acres in individual projects for all
reports obtained in 1940 and for those under 500 acres. In mak-
ing a comparison of the total areas, it should be kept in mind that
nearly one-half of the totals of the acres of individual projects
of under 500 acres represented land overlapped in other projects.
In 1950, although projects of less than 500 acres were eliminated
from the enumeration, the data include 8,286 reports and 604,757
acres representing reports of under 500 acres of drained irrigated
land reported in the Census of Irrigation.
One report for all drainage undertakings under same manage-
ment.—More than four-fifths of all reports obtained in each of
the first three censuses of drainage were from three States — Ohio,
Indiana, and Michigan. In each of these States, most of the
drains were administered by county officials.
The decision in the 1950 Census to use one questionnaire to
cover all drainage activities in each county in these and 7 other
States greatly simplified the enumeration. (See "History of the
Census of Drainage" and "County-drain" States.) It was no
longer necessary to plot the land for every successive drainage
activity. If records in the county provided totals for all drainage
activities, it was not necessary to search out the data for each
individual undertaking.
In these three States the number of reports obtained in the
enumeration was reduced from 64,881 in 1940 to 196 in 1950.
(See Summary Table 6.) A disadvantage of the procedure fol-
lowed in 1950 was its failure to provide separate information for
projects that were not under county management. These projects
had been arbitrarily included in 1950 in the one report obtained
for each county.
In 1960, the procedure was modified to obtain separate informa-
tion for each project having its own separate organization but
required, in all States, one report for all drainage undertakings
under the same management. (For further discussion of the
effects on the statistics of this enumeration procedure see
"County-drain" States.)
Elimination of irrigation drainage. — In taking the earlier cen-
suses of drainage, considerable difficulty had been experienced in
obtaining satisfactory data for irrigation projects having their
own drainage. In 1950, the reporting on the drainage question-
naire was so incomplete that it was decided to use the more
limited data secured in the Census of Irrigation for that year.
The drainage data available from the irrigation census were
limited to the area of irrigated lands provided with artificial
drainage and the number of projects reporting drainage. Some
downward adjustments were made in these irrigation census data
to eliminate drainage activities of separately organized drainage
districts. Adjustments were limited to Florida, Louisiana, and
Texas. The replies received in the 1960 mail canvass for irriga-
tion enterprises indicated that there had been additional duplica-
tion which had not been eliminated. The exact location of the
drained land reported in the 1950 Census of Irrigation had not
been required. Consequently, no satisfactory check for duplica-
tions in the drained areas reported in the 1950 Census of Irriga-
tion and those reported in the Census of Drainage was possible.
The decision, in 1960, to eliminate coverage of drainage required
solely because of irrigation resulted in the exclusion, in that year,
of most of the 9,076 reports and much of the 4,119,059 acres of
drained lands reported in the 1950 Census of Irrigation and in-
cluded in the 1950 drained land totals. Of these totals from the
Irrigation Census, 8,286 reports, with 604,757 acres, were elimi-
nated because of the 500-acre limitation. In addition to drainage
performed by irrigation enterprises, the 1950 Census of Drainage
included 267 drainage enterprises, organized separately, for which
the drainage was principally for the purpose of removal of
alkali or seepage from irrigated land. These 267 enterprises ac-
counted for 1,270,729 drained acres in the 1950 total. The 1960
reports for most of these projects again indicated that the drain-
age was required solely because of irrigation and, therefore, were
excluded from the tabulations.
Identification of nonagricultural and nondrained lands. — In the
1950 Census of Drainage Report, the total land in drainage proj-
ects for 40 small geographic areas — 22 parishes in Louisiana ; 4
counties each in Florida and Michigan ; 3 counties each in Min-
nesota, Ohio, and Texas ; and 1 in Arkansas — exceeded the total
land in farms by 20 percent or more. The excess for these 40
small geographic areas amounted to 10,150,825 acres, or 9.9 per-
cent of the total land in drainage projects reported for all
drainage States.
XXII
DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
In I960, the determination of extensive nonagricultural and
nondrained tracts within all drainage projects resulted in the
identification of 9,573,393 acres, or 9.4 percent of the land in
drainage projects, as not being used for agriculture or not bene-
fited by the drainage works provided. The inquiry, which allowed
for the determination of such land, permitted the identification
and exclusion of former drainage district lands which now rep-
resent special use areas, such as State forests, wildlife refuges,
recreation areas, etc. Similarly, it aided in identifying lands
which had been withdrawn from an existing district for one or
more of these special uses. Also excluded from the total area
were large areas of swamp or waste lands and other nonbenefited
areas in so-called countywide drainage districts. In 1960 the
enumeration procedure called for the inclusion of only the portion
taxed, if special levies were made against landowners directly
benefited, or the portion actually improved if the entire county
was taxed. In 1950, the entire area of the county was included.
Differences in reporting overlapped areas. — The consolidation
into a single report of two or more undertakings under common
management did not allow for the reporting of areas provided
with supplemental services.
The land area in drainage projects, counting only once land
in two or more projects, was accomplished in 1920 and 1930 by
determining for each project the area not represented in an
earlier project, whereas, in 1940 and 1950, this was accomplished
by determining the area not in a later project. In 1960, the
determination was made through the use of a worksheet which
provided for counting only once each piece of land represented
in the plotting of the projects on the county map.
In Summary Table 8, which presents data on areas served by
two or more projects, the 1960 area is that which was provided
drainage services by two or more projects. The 1950 totals for
overlapped areas were obtained by subtracting from the sum of
the acres of individual projects the net land area represented by
all projects. The 1940, 1930, and 1920 totals for overlapped areas
were, likewise, obtained by difference and were further affected
by the inclusion of projects which had been superseded by later
projects. (See "Elimination of superseded projects.")
In Summary Tables 12 and 13, land in two or more projects
was included in 1960 for each project, thus representing multiple
counting of such lands. For 1950 and 1940, only land not taken
over by a later project was included. For 1930 and 1920, only
land not represented in an earlier project was counted. In
Summary Table 13, the area presented by year the project was
started or organized represents, for 1950 and 1940, the area by
year of beginning of the most recent drainage undertaking, while
the 1930 and 1920 data represent more nearly the year drainage
was first established for the area.
"County-drain" States. — The grouping of States, similarly af-
fected by changes in procedure, permits a better comparison of
historical data. The group of States most affected by changes in
procedure were the 10 States designated in the 1950 report as
"county-drain" States.
The simplification of the 1950 questionnaire and the use of only
one report in 1950 for each county, for these 10 States, resulted in
the omission of inquiries on pump drainage, year and type of or-
ganization, and overlapping of drainage projects. In presenting
drainage data in 1950, for these States, no count was shown for
number of projects and no classification was shown for type of
project, year of organization, or size of project. In this report,
the count shown for 1950 is the number of counties for which a
report was included. In the 1960 Presentation, each of the 1950
county reports was considered a^ : > presenting a legally organized
drainage project and was classified by size on the basis of the total
acres reported for the county. The possible inclusion in the county
report of undertakings of individual landowners or of cooperating
groups of landowners without formal organization under State
laws was disregarded.
In 1960, the determination of the year started or organized for
a combined report represented the year the management was es-
tablished, or the year the first drain was started if the manage-
ment preceded the drainage activities. The determination of the
land for which drainage had been established since 1950, however,
provided a measure of new undertakings for organizations estab-
lished before 1950.
Except for Delaware, the predominant type of drainage organ-
ization in the so-called "county-drain" States was the county
drain. For most counties in these States, the 1960 procedure pro-
vided data very comparable to those in 1950. The change in
procedure affected only counties having drainage organizations
not classed as county drains. For Delaware, since the pre-
dominant type of drainage organization was the drainage district,
under the 1960 procedure each district required a separate report.
The combined report used in 1950 was retained in 1960, for Dela-
ware, only for districts for which there was no organization in
1960. (See "Drainage projects by size.")
"Drainage-district" States. — This designation was used for all
drainage States other than "county-drain" States. For these
States, the predominant type was the drainage district and the
1960 and 1950 procedures more nearly paralleled those used in
1940. The most pronounced difference was in the reporting of
irrigation drainage.
"Irrigation" States. — This designation is used for that group
of "drainage-district" States for which the 1950 data included
drained lands reported in the Irrigation Census. The effect on
the data, of the exclusion in 1960 of drainage undertakings
which had been required solely because of irrigation, was lim-
ited to these States and a few counties in the "county-drain"
States.
"Other" States refer to those "drainage-district" States not
affected by the method of handling irrigation drainage. These
States were least affected by changes in procedures.
SUMMARY OF DRAINAGE ACTIVITIES
The total area in drainage projects serving agricultural lands,
as determined in the 1960 Census, was 101,870,257 acres. This
area, benefited by drainage projects of 500 or more acres, is less
than the 102,688,331 acres reported in 1950 but actually represents
an increase for comparable categories of land. The 1960 data
did not include approximately 3 million acres of drained irrigated
lands and about 6 million acres of swamp and waste lands counted
in 1950 but excluded under the 1960 procedures.
Of the 1960 total area of 101,870,257 acres within drainage
project boundaries, 9,573,393 acres represented extensive areas
either not being used for agriculture or not benefited by drainage
works established by the projects. The remaining 92,296,864
acres, after the exclusion of extensive nonagricultural and non-
drained lands, represented the area predominantly agricultural
which had been benefited by installed drainage works. However,
this total contained an unknown amount of interspersed non-
agricultural land. Drainage was reported, as newly established
since 1950, on 5,336,593 acres. This newly established drainage
area represented both improvement of lands already in agricul-
ture and the reclamation of new lands for agriculture. One-third
of these newly drained lands represented additions to drainage
projects in existence in 1950 and two-thirds, lands for which
drainage works were established by projects started since 1950.
Projects initiated since 1950 also included new works or
services for 2,637,792 acres on which drainage had been previously
established. A large proportion of these newly established proj-
ects were undertakings of groups of farmowners cooperating with-
out legal organization or undertakings of individual farmowners.
The acreage of benefited lands of individual landowners and
cooperative groups was approximately 2% times that reported
in 1950.
In 1960, projects started prior to 1950 accounted for 93.6 percent
of the total agricultural lands reported as provided with drainage.
INTRODUCTION
XXIII
Three-fifths of these older projects reported drainage activity in
the period 1050 to 1959, with one-fifth reporting construction of
new drainage works. Approximately one-fifth of those providing
new works since 1950 had extended their facilities to lands not
previously drained. Two-fifths of the projects started before
1950 reported no maintenance or other drainage services provided
since 1950. Maintenance work on public drains by individual
landowners would not have been included in the reports for
public drains.
The total cost of drainage works and services for the 10-year
period amounted to $416,875,865, of which $1S5,688,673 was for
new works. New facilities represented, principally, construction
of 33,543 miles of open ditches: 2,192 miles of tile or covered
drains ; 2,017 miles of levees ; and the installation of 957 pumps.
Costs for maintenance and operation of established drains, ex-
clusive of any maintenance for public drains by individual land-
owners, amounted to $2.50 per acre drained, or 25 cents per acre
per year.
The greatest portion of the agricultural land in drainage proj-
ects is located in the North Central States and lower Mississippi
Valley. The States with the largest drained acreage in 1960 were
Indiana with 11,053,446 acres, Minnesota with 10,560,808 acres,
Michigan with 9,877,049 acres, Ohio with 8,809,415 acres, and
Louisiana with 7,110,624 acres. These five States accounted for
more than one-half of the total drained agricultural land. These
States were followed in order by Iowa with 6,871,339 acres, Texas
with 5,691,130 acres, Illinois with 5,563,426 acres, and Florida with
4,855,327 acres.
Three States accounted for more than one-half of the land on
which drainage had been newly established since January 1, 1950.
These three States were Minnesota with 1,244,237 acres on which
drainage bad been newly established, Louisiana with 965,687
acres, and Florida with 548,956 acres. Other leading States were
Texas with 318,198 acres, North Carolina with 254,482 acres, Mis-
sissippi with 249,368 acres, California with 244,352 acres, and
Arkansas with 233,263 acres. These eight States accounted for
more than three-fourths of the total land on which drainage had
been established since January 1, 1950.
Florida led all States in the amount spent for agricultural
drainage for the 10-year period, 1950 to 1959, with a total cost of
$91,027,636 for all drainage works and services. Of this total,
$68,012,516 represented an outlay for new construction. Florida
accounted for more than one-fifth of the total reported by all
States for drainage works and services and more than one-third
of the total cost of new works. Louisiana reported a total ex-
penditure of $45,796,344, and Minnesota, $41,809,993, with more
than one-half of each total representing new works. Michigan
followed with a total cost of $37,186,074, of which $32,402,708 was
for maintenance, the largest amount of maintenance reported for
any State.

1For 1950, the number includes irrigation enterprises reporting drained land in the Census of Irrigation; for the 10 "county-drain" States, all drainage projects in each county
were enumerated as a unit. In 1940 and earlier, each drain was counted a separate project. For 1930 and 1920, the count represents the number of reports and includes projects
wholly superseded by later projects and, for intercounty projects, the separate reports for each county. See Summary Table 6 and text. See Summary Table 11 for explanation of
counts by size of project.
2Not fully comparable. See Summary Table 7 and text.
3Total of acres of individual projects with no deduction for land included in more than one project; for 1960, extensive contiguous areas not used for agriculture or not drained
(line 5) were excluded. See Summary Table 7 and text.
*For 1950, figures exclude 9,076 projects and 4,119,059 acres in "irrigation enterprises"; for the 10 "county-drain" States, all drainage projects in each county (other than
"irrigation enterprises" from Census of Irrigation) were included with county drains. See text.
5For 1960, sum of areas of individual projects (see footnote 3); for 1920 to 1950, land in two or more projects included only once; for 1950 and 1940, land in two or more
projects was Included only for the project last organized; for 1930 and 1920, for the project first organized.
6For 1940, figures exclude 4,240,578 acres in "irrigation enterprises" and 36,000 acres not identified by type; for 1930, figures exclude 2,644,674 acres in "irrigation
enterprises" and 14,192 acres not identified by type; for 1920, figures exclude 462,599 acres in "irrigation enterprises" and 38,362 acres not identified by type. See Summary
Table 12 and text.
7In 1940, 1930, and 1920, the classification by type of organization included drainage undertakings by two or more operators cooperating without organization under statute
law with "individual ownership enterprises." One cooperative project of 10,000 acres in Georgia was identified in the text of the 1920 report. See Summary Table 12 and text.
8For 30 States only, exclusive of 9,064 projects and 4,109,573 acres In "irrigation enterprises"; year began and pumping units not reported for the 10 "county-drain" States.

Italics indicate States identified in 1950 as "county-drain" States. The other States were designated "drainage-district" States. For the "county- drain" States, in 1950, all
drainage projects in each county were enumerated as a unit, therefore, the counts shown for that year represent the number of county reports. For 1940, 1930, and 1920, each drain
was counted as a separate project. See text.
Boldface indicates States, other than "county-drain," for which the 1950 drainage data included drained lands in "irrigation enterprises" enumerated in the Census of Irri-
gation. See footnote 2 and text.
1State count; one project (in Florida) reported operations, 1950-1959, in 10 counties.
2State count; the projects excluded represented "irrigation enterprises" enumerated in the 1950 Census of Irrigation which showed land drained. Such reports, from the 1950
Census of Irrigation, were included in the data presented for the 1950 Census of Drainage. See text.
3Includes number of drainage projects shown in 194-0 Census of Drainage plus reports In the 1940 Census of Irrigation showing land drained. For "county-drain" States, no count
of projects was carried in the 1950 report. See text.
^Number of reports include projects that had been wholly superseded by other projects and, for intercounty projects, the reports for each county. See text.
5The number of reports for 1920, as shown in the 1940 Census of Drainage report, differs from the number shown in the 1920 report with no explanation of the differences.
6Total number of projects shown in the 1950 report was 14,066 which total represented 30 "drainage-district" States. (No count was shown for 10 "county-drain" States.) That
total was 10 fewer than the ''30-State" total shown here due to interstate projects. In this table, an interstate project was counted in each State in which a part was located.
7Number shown on page 368 of the 1920 report; the sum of the numbers reported for the separate States equals 56,190.
8Not shown separately in 1920; combined total for this and 4 other States was shown as 18.

Italics indicate States identified in 1950 as "county-drain" States. The other States were designated "drainage-district" States. For the "county- drain" States, all projects
in each county were enumerated in 1950 with county drains, and handled as though they were one project. See text.
Boldface indicates States, other than "county-drain," for which the 1950 drainage data included drained lands in "irrigation enterprises" enumerated in the Census of Irrigation.
See footnote 4- and text.
1Land in two or more projects counted only once.
2Extensive contiguous areas not used for agriculture or not drained. See text.
3Interspersed nonagricultural or nondrained areas not excluded. See footnote 2 and text.
*The areas excluded represented drained land reported by "irrigation enterprises" enumerated in the 1950 Census of Irrigation. Such reports, from the 1950 Census of Irrigation,
were included in the data presented for the 1950 Census of Drainage. See text.
3No drainage projects reported for year indicated.

Italics indicate States identified in 1950 as "county -drain" States. The other States were designated "drainage-district" States. For the "county -drain" States all drainage
projects in each county were enumerated as a unit. See footnote 5 and text.
Boldface indicates States, other than "county-drain," for which the 1950 drainage data included drained lands in "irrigation enterprises" enumerated in the Census of Irrigation.
1Land in two or more projects included only once.
2Difference in the sum of Individual projects and the land in drainage projects counting land included in two or more projects only once (see footnotes 1 and 3); land in three
or more projects counted two or more times . This duplication in counting results in some totals of overlapped areas exceeding the total land in drainage projects .
3Land in two or more projects included in each project. Areas shown equal the sum of areas of individual projects, with no deduction for land Included in more than one project.
4For 1940, 1930, and 1920, data include projects that had been superseded but had contributed to the investment and works of a later project.
5For "county-drain" States in 1950, all projects in each county were enumerated as a unit, therefore, no overlapped areas were reported for these States. See text.

Holies indicate States identified in 1950 as "county-drain" States. The other States were designated "drainage-district" States. See footnote 6 and text.
Boldface indicates States, other than "county-drain," for which the 1950 drainage data included drained lands in "irrigation enterprises." See footnote 4 and text.
1Land in two or more projects included in each project. Areas shown equal the sum of areas of individual projects with no deduction for land included in more than one project.
2In 1960, only projects of 500 or mare acres were included. See footnote 6 and text.
3For 1940, 1930, and 1920, number refers to the total reports including projects wholly superseded by later projects. For 1920, data for number of projects, by size of project,
were not available from the 1920 report. The counts presented for that year are those carried in the 1940 report (see Summary Table 6) and differ from the total count of projects
reported in 1920.
4For 1950, projects under 500 acres include "irrigation enterprises" with drainage enumerated in the Census of Irrigation (see Summary Table 12) and 3 "county -drain" counties
representing portions of intercounty drains (see footnote 6). The enumeration for the 1950 Census of Drainage included only drainage projects of 500 or more acres.
5Revised.

6In 1960, all drains under county management were enumerated as a unit with each portion of intercounty projects credited to the county where located. In 1950, the procedure '
Blmilar for "county-drain" States but the county report Included all projects in the county, including those not under county management. The 1960 data (500-999 acres) include
reports for county-drains for two counties (Benton, Iowa, and Jerauld, S. Dak.) with less than 500 acres due to intercounty projects. The 1950 data (under 500 acres) include 3
such counties (Benton, Iowa, Fulton, Ky., and Jerauld, S. Dak.). In 1940, 1930, and 1920, each drain was considered a separate project.
'Totals for 30 States shown for 1950 were based on interstate projects divided on State lines. The 1950 report also shows totals, by size of project, for 30 States based an
interstate projects not divided on State lines.
8In 1960, for Delaware, the area within each county served by drains far which there was no active management was counted as one combined project. See text.

JLand in two or more projects included only once. For 1950 and 1940, land in two or more projects included only for the project last organized; whereas, for 1930 and 1920, land
in two or more projects included for the project first organized. The 1940, 1930, and 1920 reports also show, for the classification by type of organization, totals representing
the sum of the areas of individual projects without deduction for land included in more than one project. Number, for 1930 and 1920, refers to the number of reports and includes
projects wholly superseded by later projects and, for intercounty projects, the reports for each county. See text.
Irrigation enterprises include both private and public drainage projects. In 1950, "irrigation enterprises" were from Census of Irrigation and represented reports of drained
irrigated lands with no indication as to whether the irrigation organization was responsible for the drainage; in 1940, 1930, and 1920, "irrigation enterprises" having their own
drainage were enumerated in the Census of Drainage.
'Number as shown on page 368 of the 1920 report; the sum of the numbers reported for the separate States equals 56,190.
6Data for this and 4 other States not available individually but included in totals for »n drainage States.
7In 1950, for "county- drain" States, all drainage projects in each county (other than "irrigation enterprises" from Census of Irrigation) were enumerated with county-drains and
are therefore shown under "legally organized public drains."

Dear Sir:
A Census of Drainage organisations covering drainage operations for
the year 1959 is now being taken by the Bureau of the Census. An Act of
Congress (13 USC; Sec. 142) directs the Bureau of the Census to take this
census and requires a report from you. This same Act requires that informa-
tion furnished for your organization (l) be kept confidential, and (2) that
your report may be seen only by sworn employees of the Bureau of the Census.
The information provided cannot be used for taxation, regulation, or inves-
tigation.
It is important that all questions on the attached form be answered
for your organization. Where exact information cannot be given, you are re-
quested to supply carefully prepared estimates.
The enclosed form should be filled even though the organization is
no longer active or the drains are no longer functioning. A sketch map of the
project lands may be required. This map is necessary provided any drained
areas have been added since January 1, 1950 or if any sizeable acreage within
the project boundaries does not represent agricultural lands served by the
drainage works of this project. If no area has been added since 1950 and
only agricultural lands are served by the works, a map of the project lands
need not be furnished. If you are unable to supply the requested information,
will you please enter, under question 2 of the form, the name of the person
who can.
Please fill out and return the enclosed form within 30 days. Please
use the self- addressed official envelope, which does not require postage, to
return your report.
Sincerely yours,

362 DRAINAGE OF AGRICULTURAL LANDS
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Soil Conservation Service
Washington 25, D. C.
ADVISORY NOTICE W-1496 October 2, 1959
To: Work Unit Conservationists
From: D. A. Williams, Administrator
Re: RECORDS AND REPORTS - Information on Drainage Enterprises for the
1960 Census of Drainage
The Bureau of the Census has requested the assistance of the Soil Conser-
vation Service in connection with the taking of the 1960 Census of Drainage.
The 1960 Census of Drainage will include all drainage projects that benefit
500 acres or more of land for agriculture.
Under the proposed plans primary dependence of coverage will be the prepar-
ation in advance of the enumeration of a listing of the projects to be
enumerated. As a starting point the Bureau of the Census expects to canvass
all projects that were included in the last Census, that of 1950.
The Bureau of the Census is depending upon the Soil Conservation Service to
provide a listing of drainage projects undertaken since 1950.
Will you kindly list in the spaces provided any projects in or partially
in the county, or counties, served by your office. Include only projects
that provide drainage benefits for approximately 500 or more acres of land
for agriculture. Include only jobs completed or started since January 1,
1950. Include all projects — group, individual, and public — irrespective of
whether they received technical assistance from SCS. Do not include projects
where the need for drainage resulted solely because of irrigation.
In many cases you will be able to provide information on physical works,
costs, and maps and you should so indicate in the appropriate boxes. Later,
when the enumeration is under way, we would appreciate any help you might be
able to give the Drainage Census enumerator.
Three copies of each list should be prepared. The original and one copy
should be mailed to the state office and one copy retained in the files of
the preparing office. The Bureau of Census has requested us to provide this
information by November 9, 1959, so your list should reach the state office
by November 2, 1959.
In those counties where no new drainage projects of 500 acres or more in
size have been undertaken since 1950, the work unit conservationist should
return the list to the state office showing the county names, and indicating
the absence of new projects.
