The 1922 report by Arthur P. Davis details 135 million dollars invested to reclaim about 1.7 million acres of arid western lands, creating 31,462 farms and 320,000 families served. It notes 200 million cubic yards of earth moved, 13,000 miles of canals, 110,000 structures, and major dams such as Roosevelt, Arrowrock, Elephant Butte, Pathfinder, and Shoshone. Land values and crop outputs rose, with 1921 crops on government projects worth 49.6 million dollars and irrigated land yielding 42.85 dollars per acre. Despite price declines later, repayment and continued irrigation persisted as evidence of user determination.
