GOVERNOR E. D. BOYLE, Carson City, Nevada. April 24, 1917. SIR: For some years past the Nevada Experiment Station has been conducting a series of experiments known as Projects 1 and 2, Hatch Fund. Project 1 is a series of irrigation experiments intended to show the stages at which water is most greatly needed by the principal crops grown in Nevada. Project 2-Variety Testing and Crop Improvementwas planned to discover the best varieties of those crops which are best suited to Nevada conditions. From these experiments a very considerable amount of information has been obtained. In the present emergency it has been become highly important to publish in popular form a part of this information in the hope that it may be immediately useful. Later all the results of the experiments will be published in full detail as a complete bulletin covering the work done upon these projects. Respectfully, S. B. DOTEN, Director. |
