Sec. 462. Classification of irrigable lands and equitable 
        apportionment of charges
        
    The irrigable lands of each new project and new division of a 
project approved, after December 5, 1924, shall be classified by the 
Secretary with respect to their power, under a proper agricultural 
program, to support a family and pay water charges, and the Secretary is 
authorized to fix different construction charges against different 
classes of land under the same project for the purpose of equitably 
apportioning the total construction cost so that all lands may as far as 
practicable bear the burden of such cost according to their productive 
value.
