RESULTS OF IRRIGATION.

The following is furnished by the
U. S. Geological Survey, Division of
photography, and will be of interest
to the many farmers of this section
who have watched the effect of irri-
CATION on arid lands:
Experienced irrigators Of the arid
lands of the West say that where the
character OF the soil is loose and sandy
as it is in many parts OF the central
valley OF Cal fornia and often elsewh here
In the West, it drinks up the water put
upon it in q most astonishing way.
Thousands and thousands of gallons
are run over it and quickly absorbed
by the thirsty soil when irrigation is
first begun, and this may be continued
for two or three years if the soil is |
deep. After several years Of contin-
uous soaking, however, during which |
time the ground has taken in great |
quantities of water, it reaches point
approaching saturation, when it no
longer needs more to make it suitab BILE
for crops, and the question may even
become one of getting rid Of the sur
plus.
1t is we'll known fact that the
country where Fresno, in Southern
California stands today, was originally
a desert, arid waste where sheep had
to scramble for living in a good year,
and frequently starved to death in
dry one. Today there are thousands
of acres of land under cultiva ton there
and the problem is no longer one OF
irrigation, but OF drainage; and there
is now being seriously aggitated in the
San joaquin Valley the question of
the construction OF a great drainage
canal to drain off the irrigating water.
In the city OF Tulare when the white
people first went there, water could not
and 90 feet below the surface OF the
ground. Today it is impossible to
pump a we'll dry; it is even difficult
to pump it down foot; 10 Is feet be-
have become great sponge. The
reason for this rather surprising result
Of irr gation is that water introd uced
upon given tract, sinks into the sol
and in tho course of years widely over
flows its boundry, thoroughly mois'
ems the adjoining lands and com letel !.
changes the character OF the whole
section. The significance of this re
suit is that though at first Investment:
in irrgating plants give returns bu
for limited area, in the course o
years the same plant will have opened
up for occupation and cultivation ;
much larger area than was original,
intended.
This view of the matter is interest
ing and suggestive OF the possibilitie
of present irrigated lands in the mex
generation. Data concerning the con
ditions are being brought together b
the Geological Survey as part of il
investig alton of the extent to whic
the arid land can be redeemed. ~.
