IRRIGATION EXPERIMENTS IN IDAHO. 53 
irrigated districts, were surveyed. ‘T'wenty-six sections 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 groupedin 
Table XX VI, and the nonirrigated or waste areas in Table X XVII. 
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.
