<br />:,~ <br />. <br /> <br />Three general classes of land resulted: <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />IRRIGATED LAND. All land that has been irrigated, <br />even though the supply may have been inadequate for <br />a large part of the time, is classed as irrigated, <br />without regard to its quality. In some casos irriga- <br />ted meadow or pasture are so designated in contrast <br />to other irrigated land. ,(Irrigated) <br /> <br />ARABLE LAND. Undeveloped land under existing systems, <br />er possible extensiqns of such systems, or land for <br />which ~~ter supply might be available, has been class- <br />ified according to its inherent qualities and the <br />physical condit i0ns that affect cult ivaticn. The cl,,-ss- <br />ificaticn deals "nly with facts of a physical nature <br />and no attempt is m~de to ev~uate economic features of <br />development. (Classes 1 and 2) <br /> <br />@7l\ <br />~:'f1fJJ <br /> <br />NON-ARABLE LAND. Areas were placed in this class be- <br />causeef being too high, isolated, cr scattered for <br />water delivery, or fer failure to meet the standards <br />for the arable classes in either soils, topography, cr <br />drainage, or combinaticns of such deficiencies, includ- <br />ing mainly areas of thin sdl overlying shale or sand- <br />stone in place; heavy-textured bcttcm lands high in <br />alkali; rough steep breaks; sand dune areas; and river <br />bctt~m lands belcw high water level. (Class 6) <br /> <br />The st'lndardsfor the two classes or arable land are shown <br /> <br />in the following table: <br /> <br />10 <br />
