method is also applicable to the irriga-
ton OF corn, and, in fact, Of any crop
whatever which Is planted regularly In
rows, a single furrow between each two
rows being generally used for such
crops. When applicable. 1t Is the
favorite method. both for Its con-
yenlence and the economy Of water
thereby effected. But where the
ground is irregular this plan Is often
inconvenient. because the burrows
parallelling the rows of crop would,
upon such surfaces, be up and down
hill, and would therefore not carry
water. To make this method apph-
cable In such cases 1t would be neces-
sary that the rows follow approximately
the contour of the ground In order that
the parallel burrows might carry water
throughout their entire length.
With few exceptions In the irrigated
country there is no rainfall In the up
lands where the rivers have their

From the little irrigating ditch OF the
early settler In the arid regions OF the
West the irrigating problem has grown
to such tremendous proportions, Win
such conflicting interests, that serious
efforts may be made to place the con-
troll of the entire problem In the hands
of the Federal Government. AS long
as all the irrigation questions which
arose In any one State could be met by
legislation of that State. the Interests
of all persons In that State could be
protected. But farming by Irrigation
has come to be SO general In the West
that the capacity of the rivers and
streams is taxed to the utmost. In
those cases where rivers flow through
several States serious contentious have
arisen between the people of these
States as to the use Of the water. The
State having within Its borders the
headwaters Of streams that may fur
nish water for irrigation has "cinch."
By the time the rivers have reached
the further boundaries of the State
they may not contain enough water to
do the work Of irrigation In the next
State. So the cry arises for Federal
management and control. This sub
feet Is bound to come before Congress
within comparatively short time, and
thus challenge the attention Of the
whole country.
The farmer In those parts Of the
country blessed with rainfall is inclined
to look with pity upon the Western
farmer who has to irrigate, and he may
consider irrigation as merely an expe-
dent to take the place of rainfall.
But 1t Is doubtful If many Of these
Western farmers would exchange
places with farmers in humid districts.
Rainfall Is uncertain. Sometimes 1t
Is too plentiful, at other times there Is
long drought. Flowing may be him

rigator, on the other hand, can have
water when he wants 1t, and in just
the quantity that he wants. This Is,
Of course, under normal conditions.
Fortune and law favor the old settlers
who built their little ditch first in the
years gone by. They have prior
claim on the water. and II it Is neces-
sary to shut of any person from the
use Of the water. owing to drought or
to overdraughts on the stream at these
headwaters these old settlers are the
last to be deprived of their ancient sup
ply.
An exceedingly interesting pamphlet
has been issued by the United States
Department Of Agriculture on the sub
ject Of Irrigation In the Rocky Noun
tain States" In 1t J. @. Ulrich tells
the amazing story Of the development
Of irrigation from the settlers ditch to

Under the flooding system small par

version to regulate the flow into the
laterals. These consist of wooden box
like structures In which sliding gates
are placed, by which the size of aper
ature from the main canal Is regulated
and the flow of water therefrom con-
trolled. Where considerable accuracy
of results Is attempted, there also is
placed In the lateral ditch below the
regulating gates weir, whose flow for

for the ditch rider to consult his weir

the regulating structure until the re-
quired depth over the weir is realized.
This Is the most important duty of the

he is expected to make a trip daily

Water Master OF Stream.
Rights to divert waters from a stream
are determined by priority of claim.
1t Is a case Of first come, first served
always thereafter. No matter where
the earliest settler tapped the stream,
his Is the claim which takes prece-
dence over all others. The enforce
ment Of these rights of priority and
the distribution of water under them
Is accomplished by water commission
ers or water masters. In some States,
as Colorado and Wyoming, these COM
missioners are appointed by the Gov
eminent and are under the general d.
rection Of the State Engineer. In
others, as Idaho and Montana, they
are appointed by the judge of the
