RICE IRRIGATION.

ing, we give below the report issu-
ed by the agricultural department
upon the subject:
Size of Fields.-In rice culture
the size of the fields depends on
circumstances, chief among which
are the slope of the land aud the
character of the soil as regards
drainage. Fields range in size
from 60 70 80 acres on the level
prairies of southwestern Louisi-
ana down to l or Q acres along the
banks of the Mississippi River.
In oriental countries fields seldom
contain more than q half acre. The
entire surface of each field should
be nearly at the same level so that
the irrigation water will stand at
about the same depth. Hence,
where the slope of the surface is
considerable, the fields must be
made small. Fields must also be
laid off In such q manner as to adj
NIT of effective drainage.
] Canals aud levees.-In coast
marsh and river bottom culture a
1cansl is excavated on the outer
rim of the tract selected, COM
pletely inclosing it. The excava-
ted dirt is thrown upon ths outer
bank to form levee. The canal
must be of sufficient capacity for
Irrigation and drainage. The le-
wee must be sufficient not only to
inclose the flooding water, bat to
protect the fields from the en-
croachment of the river at all sea-
SONS. When practicable the rice
lands are flooded from the river,
and find drainage by a canal or
subsidiary stream that enters the
: river at a lower level. The en-
bankment must be sufficient to
protect the rice against either
freshets or salt water. Freehets
are injurious to growing rice, not
only because of the volume of wa
, ter, but by reason of the tempera.
ture. A great body of water DIES.

tains to the sea is several degrees
colder than water under the ordi.

this cold water admitted to the
field not only retsrds the growth
but is q positive injury to the
crop. In periods of continued
drought the salt water of the sea
frequently sscends the river con.
siderable distance. Slightly brack,
ish water is not injurious to rice
but salt water is destructive.
