Synopsis

The Work of the Truckee-Carson Reclamation Project Experiment Farm in 1917 presents a concise look at a year of scientific farming and climate study. This edition compiles weather records, temperature surveys, and practical field results from the project’s trials near Fallon, Nevada.

The book summarizes how weather in 1917 affected crop plans and yields, details the location and purpose of temperature measurements, and explains how topography influenced minimum and maximum temperatures. It then moves to the agriculture section, showing how total cultivated area changed, how alfalfa and beets fared, and how crop values translated into farmer income. It also includes several crop experiments, from time-of-planting tests for potatoes to variety trials for wheat, with notes on alkali reclamation work and pasture tests for pigs and cattle.

- Crop-by-crop results, including area planted, yields, and farm values
