Work resumed on irrigation project near Casper Wyoming
The Johnson Irrigation Company restarted ditch construction with ten teams and scrapers. Five miles of the ditch are already washed and water will be turned in for next year’s crop. Government segregation delays loom due to Carey Act paperwork. Henry A. Johnson said the company aims to finish soon to supply irrigation for about 14 000 acres near Casper, boosting settlement and local commerce. Perpetual water rights will be sold at 40 per acre, with ample demand for farm products in the area.
