<br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />OC1791 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />supply preoludes inoreasing the area. A supplemental supply is <br />desirable for most lands. Table 2 shows irrigation data in this <br />area as taken from the reoords of the Water Commissioner of Distriot <br /> <br /> <br />19. The 14 ditohes listed have a total oapacity of about 1200 seoond- <br /> <br /> <br />feet, 700 seoond-feet being that of the Model Canal. Other small <br /> <br /> <br />ditohes divert water from the Purgatoire and its tributaries above <br /> <br /> <br />the area under oonsideration while the Nine Mile and Sizer (Highland) <br /> <br /> <br />oanals are the only diversions between the project and. the river's <br /> <br /> <br />mouth, near Las Animas, Colorado. <br /> <br /> <br />There is no ohannel storage in the area. The Model Reser- <br /> <br /> <br />voir, now having a capacity of 15,000 acre-feet, is the only large <br /> <br /> <br />offstream storage. Ditoh headings are generally of fair oonstruo- <br /> <br /> <br />tion, with concrete or log orib diversion dams. Recurring floods <br /> <br /> <br />damage them every year and some are repeatedly being washed out. <br /> <br /> <br />Present Utilization of Lands <br /> <br /> <br />Sinoe praotically all of the irrigated lands in Las Animas <br /> <br /> <br />County are looated along the Purgatoire River, mainly in the vicinity <br /> <br /> <br />of Trinidad, the data used in this disoussion are for tha entire <br /> <br /> <br />oounty. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The prinoipal orops are alfalfa, beans, oorn, wheat, oats, <br /> <br />barley, and sugar beets. Garden truok is produced to some extent, <br />and dairying is assooiated with irrigation farming, as is livestook <br />raising. Table 3 shows orop production and distribution as taken <br />from the Colorado Agrioultural Statistics. It is to be noted <br />that the aoreage of sugar beets has been steadily inoreasing <br /> <br />~ <br />
