When the last federal census was
taken more than half a million acres
of land was irrigated in the United
States with water supplied by wells,
about three fourths of which was
pumped, the rest rising to the surface
by artesian pressure. Since that time
progress has been made in the recov-

quality of the water, the prospects for
artesian flows, the best methods of
constructing wells, the cost of drilling
and pumping, and other matters re-
lating to the recovery and utilization
of the underground supplies, and maps:
are made showing the underground
water conditions. The maps and data
are published in a series of water sup-

The region to be covered is, however
