WATER LOST m IRRIGATION
bitches win BE Improves 90 Insure Full
Use of the Streams.


The third annual report Of the irrlga-
ton investigations made by the De-
partment of Agriculture, recently pub
lished says that averages Of measure
ments embracing nearly all Of the arid
States show that during the last three
years enough water was turned into
the heads Of bitches during the irriga-
ton season to cover the land irrigated
to a depth Of 4.4J feet, or, stated In an
other way, 445 acre feet of water were
taken from streams for every acre Of
land irrigated.
A large part Of this water supply
was lost in transit through seepage, the
leakage being especially great where
canals run through sandy or grayelly
soil. Measurements at the heads of
laterals showed an average loss in the
main canalof elevenper cent. Measure
ments made at the margin Of fields OF
six large canal systems showed that
only forty-two per cent. of the water
turned in at the headgates was delly-
cred to farmers.
This large loss through seepage is
one Of the significant features Of these
measurements and shows that better
construction Of distributing works is
one of the directions in which great
improvement is possible.
Another table in the report shows the
value Of the crops grown for each acre
foot of water used They vary from
$1.32 an acre foot to S1.22 an acre foot.
water bringing the least return when
used on alfalfa and the largest return
when used in iTigating nursery stock.
1t also was shown that crops requiring
irrigation in the last half of The irriga
ton season have a far greater value
than those which require irrigation
during the first half, the average value

rigated in the last half of the season
being $3.50 an acre, while crops which
require irrigation only in the first half
Of the season have an average value of
only S17.S3 an acre. These late crops,
however, have to be watered when
streams arc low and water scarce. AS
a rule, this water supply can be had
only through storage and the cost Of
reservoirs has to be charged against
the extra value Of the crops.
Experience shows, however" the
report says, Chat the storage Of water
pays farmers and will increase largely
the productive value Of irrigated
lands"

Peoans Grated on Hickory.

The Charleston Is. c. News and

in Chester County in its Safe they are
grating pecans on hickory sprouts.
Such CRAFTS grow at the rate of FIVE
feet a year. while seedlings grow very

Seeding pecans will consume twice
that time in getting to prCductiveness.

is full of hickory sprouts, and if these

LIGHTING OF A CHILD's ROOM

The lighting of the child's room is a
very important matter from a sanitary
standpoint and also from one of con-
venience, writes Gardner G. Teall, in
Good Housekeeping. If gas is the illu.
minant it should never be left lighted
longer than is absolutely necessary. IL
a night light is required, then a little
night lamp should be procured, but
even then it is a pity that more moth
ers do not train their children to be &C
customed to sleeping in a room with
out n light. 1t is so much laore
healthful Where lamps are in use we
far too often see children squirting be-
cause the strong lamplight is directly
on line with their faces. Their elders
seldom stop to think OF this from their
superior heights. a light should never
be placed so that its rays flare into a
child's eyes. I think enc Of the most
prevalent causes for poor eyesight in
young children is this very negligence
on the part Of their elders to provide
shaded lights in rooms where children
are sitting or playing.
