This is an abridged government report about irrigation investigations in California that were overseen by the United States Department of Agriculture, Office of Experiment Stations in cooperation with the California Water and Forest Association.

Marx, Frank Soule, C. E. Grunsky, Edward M. Boggs, and James D. Schuyler. This report contains extracts of a final report estimated to be about 400 pages long.
