The government has nearly 200,000 acres of land lying under the var¬ ious irrigation projects through¬ out the West for which water will be available next season. The farm unit on these projects var¬ ies in most cases from 40 to 60 acres of irrigable laud, depending upon location. In many sections a tract of grazing land has been iuclnded in the farm unit wher¬ ever practicable, bringing the to¬ tal up to 160 acres.
