Abstract

Excerpts from the Preface: This bibliography is limited to irrigation in the 31 Eastern States, where more or less humid conditions prevail, and where irrigation is a fairly recent innovation. The concern is chiefly with returns from irrigation, as measured in crop yields and quality, compared to costs. Costs cover all phases of operation, from preparation of land and development of water sources, to equipment, labor, power, and harvest expenses. Water rights, when they constitute an element in cost consideration, are included, as is frequency of drought as a deciding factor in the need for supple mental irrigation. The bibliography is classified according to regions as outlined on the accompanying map, and there is a combined subject-author index.
