IRRIGATION IN NORTHERN COLORADO. 
57 
gation is based on 324 irrigations of sugar beets, potatoes, and other 
row crops. The location and trend of the curve for furrow irriga- 
tion is influenced to a great extent by very rapid, alternate, furrow 
irrigation as practiced frequently on many of the farms of the 
valley. 
In order to secure reliable data on farm irrigation a careful 
record was kept of the water used on about 25 farms during the 
period of the investigation. These farms were selected at widely 
scattered points and represent fairly the various conditions of soil, 
water rights, and irrigation practice encountered in the valley. 
In Table 15 each farm is listed with its location, general type of 
soil, and the kinds of water with which it is supplied.
