Excerpt from New Reclamation Era, Vol. 16 The investigations were made at the request of the Division of Farm Economics of the Bureau of Reclamation. The committee was instructed to investigate the economic and agricultural phases of the Owyhee project and report to the Bureau of Reclamation its conclusions and recommendations. A committee was selected consisting of Mr. A. T. Strahorn, soil surveyor, Bureau of Soils, Washington, D. C.; Prof. M. R. Lewis, agricultural engineer, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho; Prof. G. R. McDole, soil technologist, University of Idaho, Moscow, Idaho; and Prof. W. L. Powers, soil technologist, Oregon Agriculture College, Corvallis, Oreg. The committee was assisted in assembling these data, and by conference, by Messrs. J. B. Bond, superintendent, Boise project, Idaho; W. H. Blackmer, assistant engineer, Bureau of Reclamation; E. O. Larson, assistant engineer, Bureau of Reclamation; G. H. Hogue, assistant engineer, Bureau of Reclamation; F. O. Youngs, scientist in soil survey, Bureau of Soils, Washington, D. C.; Dr. R. E. Stephenson, division of soil technology, Oregon Agriculture College; H. L. Holgate, chief field counsel, Bureau of Reclamation; and J. C. Marr, senior drainage engineer, Bureau of Public Roads. A committee of local citizens residing within the boundaries of the Owyhee project, consisting of Mr. Ivan E. Oakes, chairman, engineer, Ontario; Mr. H. B. Cockrum, banker, Ontario, and Mr. Dick Tensen, farmer, Nyssa, Oreg., were appointed to review this report and submit its findings to the Bureau of Reclamation. Mr. Youngs and party began the soil survey of the Gem District on July 28, and Professor Powers and Doctor Stephenson began the soil survey of the Dead Ox Division at the same time. Mr. A. T. Strahorn took charge of the soil survey work on July 30, 1924. Prof. M. R. Lewis carried out the investigations of the economic conditions of the various pump districts, and Professor McDole, Mr. Blackmer, and G. C. Kreutzer collected data on the agricultural and economic phases of the district. Messrs. E. O. Larson and G. H. Hogue carried out the field work on drainage investigations, and were assisted in conference by Mr. J. C. Marr. Mr. H. L. Holgate, chief field counsel of the Bureau of Reclamation, conferred with the directors of the irrigation district and with other groups of citizens not yet organized into districts, and spent some time conferring with the committee on the legal phases of the project. During the time that field work was in progress, the local citizens of the communities assisted in every way possible Messrs. E. C. Van Patton, Pat Gallagher, W. H. Doolittle, County Agent L. R. Briethaupt, all of Ontario, and Mr. J. H. Lowell of Caldwell, Idaho, gave liberally of their time to further investigations. In some instances they furnished cars to carry investigators to various parts of the project. The scope of the work consisted in making the soil survey and land classification, economic analysis of the pump districts, the study of drainage conditions, collection of data on yields and prices of the principal crops now grown in the section, as well as making balance sheets, inventories, and gathering such other data as was found necessary to determine the feasibility of the project from the economic viewpoint. The committee was instructed to make such field investigations, and to collect such data, in order that it could finally summarize its findings, having in mind the provisions of the bill H. R. 9559, already passed by the House of Representatives and now pending in the Senate. Conclusions 1. The land classification data show an area of 58,859 acres of first-class land that is well adapted to produce satisfactory yields of all crops that may be successfully grown in the region under consideration. There are 56,140 acres of second-class land that can not be expected to produce as high an average yi.

Irrigation came to the arid West in a wave of optimism about the power of water to make the desert bloom. Mark Fiege’s fascinating and innovative study of irrigation in southern Idaho’s Snake River valley describes a complex interplay of human and natural systems. Using vast quantities of labor, irrigators built dams, excavated canals, laid out farms, and brought millions of acres into cultivation. But at each step, nature rebounded and compromised the intended agricultural order. The result was a new and richly textured landscape made of layer upon layer of technology and intractable natural forces—one that engineers and farmers did not control with the precision they had anticipated. Irrigated Eden vividly portrays how human actions inadvertently helped to create a strange and sometimes baffling ecology.
