DATA ON OPERATION AND

Boise, Ida, Feb. 20, 1915.
Caldwell Tribune,
Caldwell, Idaho.
Gentlemen Enclosed are copies OF
those portions of the 1914 Annual
Maintenance and Operation Report for
the Boise Project, which it occurs to
me might be of interest to Uour
readers.
The crop report, the results accom-
plshed 50 far by the drainage systems
now under construction. the brief des-
cription of the project irrigation sys-
tenn and the amounts of water used by
the water users, seem especially inter
esting.
In considering the crop yields, it
must be remembered that this includes
the yields from considerable acreage
OF new land that this must necessarily
lower the average.
Trusting that this material will be
Of use to you, ! am,
