THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



385 



This is the third of the annual reports of the Irriga- 

 tion Investigations of this Office. It deals chiefly with 

 the duty of water, but contains also reports from four 

 stations in the humid states, where irrigation is not a 

 necessity, but a means of increasing the returns from farm 

 lands; a report on the underground water supply of the 

 San Bernardino Valley, California, and the second progress 

 report on slit measurements. This report has been re- 

 printed in four parts in the form of separates, available as 

 follows :

This is the first of three bulletins to be published giv- 

 ing the results of a study of Italian irrigation practice, 

 laws, and institutions. The study was made solely from 

 the standpoint of getting suggestions for improvements 

 in our American systems, and it was found that we could 

 learn much from Italy. The first bulletin contains reports 

 on irrigation in Lombardy and Piedmont. (See also Bulle- 

 tins 190 and 192.)

 in Humid Sections of the United States in 1903, under

 tion plants in market gardens near the large eastern cities, 

 and report of experimentft-with irrigation in New Jersey 

 and Missouri; also a report on irrigation in the artesian 

 basin of South Dakota.

The Platte River and its tributaries lie within three 

 states Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska. The one 

 source of supply is therefore subject to the laws of three 

 states. This report is a discussion of the rights to water 

 from this source of supply, as they have arisen under the 

 b\vs and physical conditions in the three states. Mr. 



Teele gives the results of the field work and Doctor Mead 

 a general discussion of water laws. These discussions 

 have been printed as separates, which are available for 

 distribution.

 trol of streams.
