<br />31 <br /> <br />of land having 200,000 acres in first and second classeR and 150,000, 200,000 and <br /> <br />250,000 acres respectively in the third class. This table shows ample water for <br /> <br />the first priority land but the second and third class land does not do too well. <br /> <br />For example, for 2.50 acre-feet per acre for 600,000 acres, the table shows the <br /> <br />first priority land would get a full 2.50 acre-feet except for two years when <br /> <br />allotments would be 1.70 and 2.38 acre-feet; the second priority land would get <br /> <br />no water for two years with three other years of deficiency; and the third priority <br /> <br />land would get no water for three consecutive years plus three other years, and <br /> <br />there would be four other years of deficiency. <br /> <br />The situation discussed above where the third priority land would receive no <br /> <br />water for three consecutive years means these lands would go out of production; <br /> <br />probably would mean bankruptcy for these farmers, and perhaps permanent removal <br /> <br />Table 20. - Water supply allotted equally each year but limited to 2.00 and <br />3.00 acre-feet per acre. <br /> <br /> Per acre allotment limited Per acre allotment limited <br /> to 2.00 acre-feet for- to 3.00 acre-feet for- <br />Year <br /> 550,000 600,000 650,000 780,000 550,000 600,000 650,000 780,000 <br /> acres acres acres acres acres acres acres acres <br />1945 1.83 1. 68 1.55 1.29 1.83 1.68 1.55 1. 29 <br />46 2.00 2.00 1.92 1.60 2.27 2.08 1.92 1.60 <br />47 1.96 1. 67 1.48 1.24 1. 75 1.61 1.48 1.24 <br />48 2.00 2.00 2.00 1.97 2.80 2.56 2.37 1.97 <br />49 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 3.00 3.00 2.99 2.49 <br />50 2.00 2.00 2.00 1.55 2.07 1. 72 1.41 1.18 <br />51 2.00 1.80 1.38 .89 1.26 1.16 1.07 .89 <br />52 .86 .57 .52 .44 .62 .57 .52 .44 <br />53 .87 .79 .73 .61 .87 .79 .73 .61 <br />54 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 3.00 3.00 3.00 3.00 <br />55 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.93 2.50 2.12 1. 39 <br />56 2.00 1.68 1.32 .64 .73 .66 .61 .51 <br />57 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 3.00 3.00 2.89 2.41 <br />58 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 3.00 3.00 3.00 3.00 <br />59 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 3.00 3.00 3.00 2.34 <br />60 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 3.00 2.60 2.01 1.50 <br />61 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.54 2.07 1.91 1.59 <br />62 2.00 2.00 2.00 1.16 1.47 1.35 1. 25 1.04 <br />63 2.00 2.00 1.51 .93 1.31 1. 20 loll .93 <br />64 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.75 2.52 2.33 1.94 <br />Ave. 1.88 1.81 1.72 1.52 2.16 2.00 1.86 1.57 <br /> <br />LJ rJ r t"" "'"" <br />~~V.l <br />
