Colorado Experiment Station 
Beyond this valley to the east there is a large dry-land section. 
The dip of the rock strata is to the east or away from this 
valley, so that we would be justified in expecting a leakage out 
of and not into the valley if there were any in either direction. 
Reference has already been made to two irrigating ditches lo- 
cated not far to the east of this road and higher than the land.

This road lias been chosen as practically the longer axis 
of the worst part of the whole district. We have given those 
features in the composition of these waters that may be of in- | 
terest. The loss on ignition of the dried residue gives a little 
idea of how much organic matter is present. Of course, in all j 
cases where nitrates are present these are partially or wholly 
destroyed. The ignition is given for whatever it may be worth. 
Tlie maximinn amount of chE'^'bi foam] is TOO d.d.iu. Tins was 
present in a well, 4 feet deep, located in a swale. If tliis is 
present as sodic chlorid, ordinary salt, the amount ]>resent in a 
gallon of water would be, in round numbers, 11 grains, which 
is a veiy moderate amount for ground waters. Tlie maximum 
here given is over twice as much as was ])resent in ihe next 
water richest in chlorin. ‘
