[BRIGATION EXPERIMENTS IX IDAHO. 



53 



irrigated districts, were surveyed. Twenty-six sect inns were sur- 

 veyed, 20 of them being located under the old canals in the heart of 

 the Boise Valley, in the vicinity of Meridian, and 6 sections in the 

 heart of the South Side Twin Falls project near Kimberly. The 

 entire survey was made with a transit and chain, each crop and each 

 type of waste land being carefully noted. The field notes were 

 plotted on detail paper on a scale of 200 feet to the inch, and the 

 areas were determined with a polar planimeter. The areas surveyed 

 were typical of the better class of Idaho irrigation practice in every 

 respect, and the detailed results secured are shown in the following 

 tables. For convenience the various irrigated areas are grouped in 

 Table XXVI, and the nonirrigated or waste areas in Table XXVII. 

 As numbered in the first column, the 26 sections are identical in the 

 two tables. Nos. 1 to 6, inclusive, in both tables give the data for 

 the six sections near Kimberly, and Nos. 7 to 26, inclusive, for the 

 20 sections near Meridian.
