MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS
Some Up to Date Hints About Cdltiya-
tion of the Soil and Yields Thereof
Horticulture, Viticulture and Fiori-
culture.
.:ains Irrigation: Drainage.

1t is found by observation that for
dry farming to be possible not only
must there be at least twenty inches of
rainfall during the year (being that of
London, England,) but that the rains
be moderate in character and that the
temperature be not excessive; also that
the rain be of considerable duration
to allow of its penetrating the soil and
dissolving the constituents in it, which
furnish the food for the spe-
cific plant being grown, says IT.
rigation Farmer. For if the rainfall
occurs in violent storms of short du-
ration and falls on an impervious I'M
broken prairie, having considerable de-
clivity, it runs off into the valleys over
the impervious surface, or through the
porous soil, if such exists, into the
streams, leaving the soil dry, the at
mosphere hot, and the surface of the
ground parched.
Observations show that there are
certain districts within the sub arid
region where the rainfall is concen-
trated into certain months, producing
a rainy season. When this occurs dur
ing the growing season of the year and
the temperature is not too high,
twenty inches will suffice for dry
farming.
Meteorologists, for the purpose OF
comparison, divide the rainfall of Kan
sas into three belts, the eastern, mid
die and western.
The mean of observations for period
of fourteen years for these belts was
found to be 81, 1915 and 1914 respect
lively Of this last amount it is found
that 65 per cent of the annual rainfall
falls during the growing season OF the
year, thus giving 10. Axes per cent equals
1876 inches, which for purposes OF col
lection for irrigation may be regarded
as the mean annual rainfall in that
region.
Long experience in the collection of
water for city supply shows that 46 per
cent of the rainfall is available, which
gives 12.6x46 per cent equals inches
nearly. This is the yearly average for
a period of years which may vary forty
times either way for given shorter
period.
The above shows the necessity for
two things, first, for the irrigation OF
a given area of land provision must be
made for ample storage room, and
second, in the interests of safety, that
ample overfows or spill-ways be made
to provide for the free discharge OF the
surplus water that may flow into the
reservoir.
The promoters of irrigation projects
in western Kansas, in their demands
for aid from the government for sur
veying for reservoir sites and for their
instruction, would seem to be ignor-
ant.of the physical characteristics OF
that region. In the mountain regions
of the west, narrow canons furnish
sites for dams which will impound
large quantities of water during the
periods of floods, while in western
Kansas, the source of supply of water
is the rainfall, and although there are
many depressions in the open prairie,
which could be made to store water
sufficient to irrigate many thousands
of acres of land the conditions are such
that the water can not be drawn out
by gravity SO as to be available for ir-
rigation.
