HOW TO MAKE BORDERS
Simple Method for Finding Contour
 of the Land

Tn one respect q great many farmers in the valley are having difficulty in putting up irrigation borders which will make it possible to flood all the land. In many fields there are bare. spots where water did not reach during irri- gation, and in many other fields a great amount of unnecessary labor is being done because the contour of the land was not followed.
 Among the newcomers at Brawley is A. J. Carrot, for sixteen years a rice grower of Louisiana. He says that at first in that State the rice growers made symmetrical oblong lands to be flooded, but finally the old borders were all de- strOyed and new ones built on the con tour plan, and he gives a very simple and effective plan for building them. He would build his ditch from the high est corner of the field down one side and then down an end, thus reaching the lowest corner Into this corner he WOulu let d UUlc WuuCl UO hllN OiIC iONOi and then throw up border on the edge of the wet spot. Next above that he would let in water to wet another land, and again throw up a border on the edge of the wet place, and continue this until the entire field was irrigated. Into each of these lands he would have a small gate and at the lower end he would have an overflow gate, just high enough to insure the thorough flooding of the land. He claims that borders thrown up in this way need not be high and that an irrigator will be able to take care of several times as much land as he could where oblong lands are made regardless of contours, while the saving in labor and seed would be great. There are many farms in the valley laid out according to contours, but it has been the practice to use in struments rather than water in mark ing the contours.

Valuable Metals Wasted.

1t is estimated that vast quantities
of platinum have been lost in placer
mining. For many years placer min
ers observed a strange metal mixed
with the black sand from which it
was barely distinguishable and was
discarded as worthless. Platinum can
be readily identified by its steel gray
color and has frequently been four1
in chunks as large as eggs and in
some instances in masses weighing
sixty pounds. There has doubtless
been tons of platinum washed away
with tailings in placer mining in this
Safe, where that character of groun1
carries a large percentage of black
sand, and it is reasonable to assume
that many varieties Of valuable min.
eral substances have been overlooked
by Nevada prospectors through lack
bf knowledge Of metallurgyy.
