This collection consists primarily of material from the Reclamation Service’s experiment farm. Some documents from the University of Arizona’s experimental farm are also included. The bulk of the collection consists of large notecards with records and photographs of various farm activities – remarkable for the clarity of images and data recorded on the reverse side.
The notecards also document other Reclamation projects including Laguna Dam, levee construction, images of the Colorado River, and flood control measures. There are also several progress reports of various farm projects and accomplishments. Of interest is a copy of The Great Southwest from January 1907 which has an article about growing dates. Another two folders contain handwritten journals recording weather data covering the 1930s.
There are no series.
