Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1896.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: From the earliest dawn of history, irrigation has played a very important part in furnishing man with the necessities of life. The Oriental Countries depended almost entirely on this method for supplying their crops with water. The phenomenal fertility of the Valley of the Nile is a wonder to the people of all nations.
