YUMA FIELD STATION
Office Bldg., RFD 2, Yuma, Arizona

This station was opened about 1908 to aid and advise agricul—
turists as to the best methods to follow in farming their lands
in the newly irrigated lands known as the Imperial Valley. A
continuous survey is maintained covering weather, soils, water,
and crops and the agency is frequently consulted regarding irri—
gation and its possibilities in other arid sections. These actm
ivities have resulted in remunerative vine—crops such as melons,
as well as citrus and sub—tropical fruits. Its jurisdiction is
presumed to be along the All—American Canal Route and its trib~
utaries. All reports are sent to washington.

NOTE: Discontinuance of Bard, California as a post office ac—
counts for the above address.

2847. GENERAL FILE, 1908 to date. Correspondence, weather data,

DIVISION OF CBIEAL CROPS AND DISEASES
FIELD HEADQUARTERS
Experiment Station, 4% miles NW. of Biggs

This office was established on June 29, 1912 to prove by exr
perimentation that the northern Sacramento Valley was adaptable
to the profitable growing of rice. Through laboratory investiga~
tions and field experiments this has been proven. While juris~
diction appears to be local, this agency supplies information re—
lating to rice culture throughout the United States. Annual re~
ports are sent to washington. V
