IRRIGATION 



By JOHN A. WIDTSOE 



President of the Utah Agricultural College 



Illustrated, Cloth, iimo 



Although much of the writing on irrigation has been ft'om the engineering 

 point of view, this book is written distinctly from the point of view of practical 

 farming. President Widtsoe has drawn not only upon his own intimate 

 knowledge of conditions in an irrigated country, but also upon all the available 

 literature on the application of water to land for irrigating purposes. The effect 

 of water on the soil, the losses by seepage and evaporation, the service that 

 water renders to the plants, and the practical means of employing water for the 

 growing of the different crops are all discussed clearly and thoroughly.
