About one-fourth of the land classified as farming is susceptible of irrigation,or an area nearly equal to the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island quite half of this has been placed under the ditch. The total farming land in-cludes an area as great as the state of Wisconsin, Illinois, or Iowa, while the moun-tain area is about equal to the area of either Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia.
