Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments in Supplemental Irrigation With Small Water Supplies at Cheyenne, Wyo., In 1909 Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report Of the work of the season of 1909 at the farm maintained by this Office at Chev enne, Wyo., under the direction of Samuel Fortier, chief of irrigation investigations of the Office. This farm is conducted for the purpose of determining the possibilities of irrigation with small water supplies in the semiarid region Where water for the irrigation of large areas is not available and the larger part of the land must be farmed without irrigation, if farmed at all. Notwithstanding the fact that the season of 1909 had an abnormally large rainfall, the advantages of irrigation are very clearly shown by the crop returns secured at Cheyenne. The work has been carried on by John H. Gordon, irrigation farmer in charge, and he was assisted in the compilation of the results by Miss A. F. Johnston. It is recommended that the report be published as a circular of this Office. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
