Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments With Crops Under Fall Irrigation at the Scottsbluff Reclamation Project Experiment Farm Several years ago. It was suggested that the-soil-moisture conditions in sections Where the winter precipitation was light might be - very much improved if {the soil 'was saturated with irrigation water after the crop was removed in the fall. it seemed likely that an applica tion of water at this time would afford an opportunity for establishing satisfactory moisture conditions, not only In the surface soil but in the subsoil to a depth cf 6 feet or more during the time elapsing between fall irrigation and the planting of crops the following spring. It was thought that if this were true better crops might be produced in certain irrigated sections of the Great Plains area if fall irriga'tion were practiced. In order to determine what effect fall irrigation would have on the crops grown, a series of experiments was started at the Scottsbluff Experiment Farm in the fall of 1910. These experiments-were continued inl91-1, 1912, and results are now available fer consideration. Ah account of these experiments and the results secured is given in this bulletin.
