Abstract

The time chosen for conducting this experiment was the year of 1906. The drainage water taken was that of Richland creek which drains a territory of 84,954 acres. This valley is located in the southwestern part of Madison and the eastern part of Washington counties in the state of Arkansas with about nine elevenths of it in the former county. The whole territory concerned is found in townships 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 North, and ranges 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30 West.
