<br />the irrigable lands of existing enterprises in, the Lower Basin, and for
<br />arable lands under authorized projeets in the Upper Basin. whieh irriga-
<br />ble and arable lands, however, are not at present being irrigated. Colo-
<br />rado suggests that the so-ealled "present" data be segregated, to show
<br />(1) the aetual or existing eonditions, and (2) the allowanoes made for
<br />irrigable and arable lands to be irrigated in the fUture by projects now
<br />authorized, under eonstruction, or ineompleted.

<br />Exelusive of "allowanoee" for aereages not yet irrigated, the
<br />"Aotual" irrigated aereages reported by the two federal agencies are in
<br />substantial agreement for the entire Colore-do River Basin. When con-
<br />sidered by Upper and Lower Basins, the Report shCl'lfs about 200,000 acres
<br />leu; in the Upper Basin, and about 200,000 aores more "in the Lower Ba-
<br />Ilin. than were reported by the U. S, Census; Bureau. These differences
<br />when segregated by States are found, in the Lower Basin, in the State of
<br />Arizona, and in the Upper Basin, largely in Colorado though in part in
<br />Utah and Wyoming. It is not the oontention of Colorado, in submitting
<br />data from reports of the U, S. Census; Buree-u, that such information is
