Items neceSSjtIting cash outlay as seed, irrgating water. and crates are deducted from gross returns. Water costs an average of 5O cents for irrigation per for the crops grown. The yields in certain instances are low, due tO the unimproved condition of the soil, which, like desert soils in geE.,sI, was low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some small salty areas also affected yields locally.
