and natural rainfall A farm that had
been irrigated by a system of two wells
IN previous years was found TO be
thriving, although this summer one
of the wells had failed and the other
was giving but half the supply It gave
last year. The farm that depended on
the rainfall was naturally the sufferer
through the unusually dry conditions.
but the point was that the irriga ted
crop, although in need Of water would
probably survive because OF the mois-
ture that the soil had received In pre-
yious years.
Irrigation is a matter not only for
this generation, but for the next. and
an interesting result of its lasting ef-
feet is noted in a recent bulletin Is
sued by the United States geographical
survey. 1t is shown by this authority
that while water. turned loose on
sandy soil, is rapidly absorbed in the
first processes of irrigation. and that
there is consequently little encourag-
ing Roadway. year by year the irrigat-
ed section grows larger, until land on
which there has been little or no irri-
cation becomes productive.
