Third The deep sandy soil plain lands which take an immense quantity at first, and always will take more than either of the two classes first mentioned, and the cultivation of which we need hardly hope will be accomplished with the standard allowance of water for many years to come. Fourth The deep soil alkaline adobes which the first year take, perhaps, as much as either of the others at one irrigation but which may demand ever afterwards comparatively little at a time, but con- stantty repeat...ed applications late into each season while the crops are growing. There are in the Tulare and San Joaquin Valleys four and a half to five million acres of lands which might be brought under irriga- tion if the water supply were sufficient. Not more than half of this area is well adapted to farming by irrigation, and fully one-fourth is decidedly not well suited. If the State should make an apportion- ment of her waters this fourth would demand its share. During the past year the lecturer had made and caused to be made many observations upon the flow of the streams into these valleys from the Sierra, and was enabled to make very fair estimates of their volume in ordinary seasons as well as in the past exceptionally dry season.
