R. Fogarty of the :Bureau of Reclama~ <br /> <br />tion in December, 1933. <br /> <br />The land classification map will suffice for purposes of determining total <br /> <br />acreages of vario~s class lands. However, more deta.iled data are necessary <br /> <br />for final sabdivision plans. This is particularly important on lands <br /> <br />where some irrigation water has been available beca~se these areas are <br /> <br />all shoWn under the class "irrigated." <br /> <br />Yield data are from estimates by representatives of Oolorado Experiment <br /> <br />Station, Colorado Extension Service, Bureau of Reclamation, Farm Security <br /> <br />Administration and from farmers in the community. <br /> <br />Expected Yields <br /> <br />Table 1.
