esy Qf the board of trade, Mr Elliot, project man- 
ager and the Egyptian Cotton Growers’ Association, 
we secured 7,000 feet of negative illustrating the de- 
velopment of the long-fiber cotton industry in this 
valley This film is particularly valuable to the De- 
partment of Agriculture. After a short visit to Yuma 
to study the Mesa situation we went to Brawley Cal., 
the great cantaloupe producing center and filmed 
this industry while the thermometer ranged about 
116° daily. This film is for the Bureau of Markets, 
and will be used to illustrate the best methods of 
■v 
picking, packing, loading, and shipping. 
On the Truckee-Carson we secured some excellent 
and much needed still and moving pictures of crops 
and a lot of good film showing the big 1 caterpillar 
tractors levelling the rough lands. A close up shot at 
the cement gun placing cement in Lahontan dam was 
taken. 
On the Strawberry Valley project we secured a 
0 
number of excellent local views, but the principal 
photographic work was done on the eastern side of 
the Wasatch Mountains during a visit to the Castle 
, 
Peak project in Duchesne Valley. 
By reason of the generous support of the business 
men of Burley, Rupert, and Paul, we were able to 
secure a complete scenario of the Minidoka project.
