Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Work of the Office of Experiment Stations in Irrigation and Drainage
The chairman. Gentlemen, I think there are a sufficient number of members present to warrant our beginning the hearing. After consultation with several members of the committee, I thought it would be well for us to hear from the gentlemen in the Agricultural Department who have to do with the subject of irrigation, so that if we print these hearings we may have their statements in the printed hearings along with the others heretofore taken.
The Agricultural Department has been doing a very great work, a splendid work, in connection with irrigation. Its work has been in relation to the use of water on lands, with a view to aiding the farmers or irrigators in the attempt to bring about improved methods in the use of water in irrigation. It is a very comprehensive work and a very important work; a work which has been carried on with a great deal of Vigor, industry, and intelligence.
We would like to hear from Doctor True as to what his depart ment has been doing along this line.
