AUTHORITY ON WATER.
Some Features Respecting Irrigation
That Makes Timely Reading.

Mr.. Chas. w. Greene has been making
some interesting experiments in irriga.
ton methods in the Pecos valley. Hit
idea is to find proper method for irri.
eating what is called the higher lands o,
those that receive no benefit from sub.
irrigation as do the salt grass lands. He
has been raising water by buckets which
gives him $50 gallons minute, the
equivalent of Sc, 900 cubic feet every twelve
hours, or sufficient quantity to irrigate
four acres Of land by running it in fur.
rows. The ground is worked Immediately
afterward, and the dry top Of the ridges
are spread over the surface in finely
pulverized condition, serving as mulch
80 that it is an abundance of water for
any ordinary plant for at least sixty days
1t is putting upon the land the equivalent
Of two and half inches Of depth over the
entire area.
Alfalfa, which must necessarily be
watered upon the surface, will require
three waterings for each crop. Owing to
there being no continuous rain in the val
ley, and the little that does fall between
June and September being all utilized
within the growing season, there is great
necessity that the water for irrigation
should be gotten into the ground during
the winter or spring months to get the
fuh advantage of II.

An ordinary rainfall of two inches is
not the equivalent of two inches put into
the ground by irrigation methods. A
very considerable portion of the rain will
run off despite all precautionary meas,
ures and consequently the soakage is not
sufficient.
The big reservoir in the Pecos, which
holds 6,OOO,000,O0O gallons, if once filled
would be an equivalent of nearly soc
cubic feet per second for l20 days. Six hun
bred cubic feet per second is the equiva-
liant of 10000 miners inches, which, run
ming night and day, with no great waste
would be sufficient TO irrigate 100000
acres of land.
Mr.. Greene says that there has been ar
enormous waste of water in the valley
and that more systematic and economical
methods must be pursued if success is te
be obtained. Still he knows of no valley
having such magnificent area of choice
land, with such an abundance of waste, 81
