Original publisher's beige paper wrappers with staple binding. 5 3/4" x 9." Seventy-three pages, complete. Pages are very clean and intact except for two closed tears on fore-edge each measuring 1 1/4" and affecting Pages 7-10, light age toning throughout, and some dog-eared corners at top in back. Covers are very clean and intact except for light to moderate age toning, a few smudges, a few tiny bumps and closed tears along extremities, and some rust marks from the staples. A Very Good copy. 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. The investigations were directed by Elwood Mead, Experiment in Charge of Irrigation Investigations. He was assisted by William E. Smythe, Marsden Manson, J. M. Wilson, Charles D. 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.
