Wells A. Hutchins, a nationally recognized authority on Western water laws, had completed
over 62 years of service with the Department of Agriculture at the time of his death in
Berkeley, California, on September 19, 1970. As an employee of Natural Resource Economics
Division, he was completing the final draft of his comprehensive, multi-volume work,
State Water Rights Laws of the Nineteen Western States.
Mr. Hutchins began his government career in 1908, when he joined the Department of
Agriculture's Bureau of Soils as an irrigation economist. Over the years he worked with a
number of other agencies in the Department, including the Office of Extension Service,
Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering, Bureau of Public Roads, Bureau of Agricultural
Engineering, Soil Conservation Service, and lastly, Economic Research Service and
predecessor agencies. After reaching retirement age in 1958, following nearly 50 years of
Federal service, Mr. Hutchins was reemployed each year so that he could complete his
important book on the law of water rights in the Western States. He received recognition for
60 years of Federal service in 1968. The occasion was marked by special recognition from the
Secretary of Agriculture.
Mr. Hutchins wrote dozens of books, papers, and articles on water laws and water rights in
the Western States. His
Selected Problems in the Law of Water Rights in the
West
has been a classic in its field since 1942. Another major work,
California Law of Water Rights, has been widely acclaimed as a masterpiece of
exposition and analysis. He also wrote studies of water laws of Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Texas, and Utah. He helped many states draw up improved
water laws and in the 1940's served as chairman of the National Reclamation Association's
committee to formulate desirable water law principles for the West. He also lectured on
water law and institutions at the University of California at Davis and Berkeley.
Wells A. Hutchins's eminent career with the Department of Agriculture culminated with the
publication of "Water Rights Laws in the Nineteen Western States,"* a three-volume work
which began to appear a year after his death in 1970. The collection of primary materials
described in this key was amassed over a period spanning approximately half a century, and
it includes much of the data used in
Water Rights Laws in the Nineteen Western
States.
It also includes Mr. Hutchins's own earlier publications and addresses,
work-related documents, and correspondence. Altogether this collection amounts to thirteen
cartons of materials. Most of the printed materials collected by Hutchins in the course of
his work are not described in this key; they are, however, cataloged into the collection of
the Water Resources Collections and Archives and can be accessed through the card catalog at
the Archives.
The collection has been organized into five sections. The first section contains both
published and unpublished writings by Hutchins; the published materials include virtually
all of the works cited in Hutchins's own listing of publications (see File No. 1), with only
a few exceptions. Variant states of many of these works, such as type-written drafts,
proofs, and reprints, are also found here. The items are in alphabetical order by title.
The second section contains Hutchins's prepared public addresses. These are, for the most
part, papers read at various conferences and meetings. Some were published and others are
closely related to separate publications found in the first section. These also are arranged
alphabetically by title.
A vast amount of correspondence occupies the third section of the collection. Many items
of small significance, such as requests for publications and acknowledgements of
publications received, are to be found here. Some important documents, however, are also
present; these deal with questions of law, the drafting of legislation, the development of
publications, Hutchins's personal affairs, etc. This correspondence serves to supplement
materials found in other sections. The arrangement of correspondence dealing with water law
is alphabetical by state; other correspondence is grouped by specific topic. Within each
folder, the correspondence is placed chronologically.
The fourth section contains research materials bearing on water law in the West. Items
here are in order by state and are then further gathered into one of six possible
categories, as follows:
- I. Laws, statutes, legislative bills, court proceedings
- II. Agency rules, regulations, by-laws, articles of incorporation
- III. Articles, circulars, reports, newspaper clippings, memoranda, conference proceedings, etc.
- IV. Maps, sketches, photographs, diagrams, tables
- V. Hutchins's notes, drafts, summaries, manuscript corrections
- VI. Miscellaneous items
Not all states have items for all categories and, consequently, numbering of sub-sections
(I-VI) is not always consecutive. Arrangement within categories is chronological except in
certain instances (e.g., Valmont case, #472A-S) where it appeared advisable to follow a
single proceeding through.
The final section of the collection contains general and/or miscellaneous items not
included in the other sections. It is divided into the same categories as those for the
individual states in the fourth section.
Throughout sections three through five of the collection, loose items which were initially
attached together with paper clips (presumably by Hutchins) have been stapled together in
order to preserve their integrity. An "item", in collation statements, refers to a single
unit: either one document or a number of documents which are attached. For example, a folder
of correspondence which contains
9 items could conceivably have
20-30 documents gathered into nine bundles. This may be useful to remember.
*Completed by Harold H. Ellis and J. Peter DeBrall, Washington, D.C.: U. S. Department of
Agriculture, Natural Resources Economics Division, 1971-1977, 3 v.
The collection is arranged into five series as follows:
- Series 1. Published and unpublished writings of Hutchins, 1915-1965
- Series 2. Prepared public addresses of Hutchins, 1932-1960
- Series 3. Correspondence, 1917-1968
- Series 4. Amassed Water Law Materials, by State, 1903-1969
- Series 5. Amassed General and Miscellaneous Materials, 1907-1964
