Note.— The plot experiments pertaining to duty of water in Nevada were carried on for the most part 
at the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station located in the Truckee Valley at Reno. In this work 
there was intermittent cooperation between the Division of Agricultural Engineering and the University 
of Nevada. 
The soil is variable but speaking generally it may be said to be gravelly clay loam underlaid by sand, 
gravel, and bowlders.
