W ter Lost In Irrigation

The third annual report of the irriga-
ton Investigations made by the depart
ment of agriculture, recently published,
says that averages Of measurements enl-
Oracing nearly all Of the arid states
show that during the last three years
enough water was turned into the heads
of bitches duling the irrigation season
TO cover the land irrigated 10 depth of
4,l5 feet, or, stated In another way, 4 .45
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 soepage, the
leakage being essecially great where
canals run through sandy or gravclly
soil. Measurements at the heads of
laterals showed an average loss in the
main canal of II per cent. Measure
ments made at the margin OF heads on
six large canal systems showed that
only ~ per cent of the water turned in
at the headgates was delivered to
farmers.
This large loss through scepagc 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 inn
provcment Is possible.
Another table in the report shows
the value of the crops grown for each
acre foot Of water used. They vary
from Sl.32 an acre foot TO SIZE an acre
foot, water bringing the least return
when used on alfalfa and the largest
return when used In irrigating
nursery stock Italso was shown that
crops which require irrigation in the
last half of the irrigation season have a
far CRATER value than those which 10,

Commissioners held in Dec. Pleasant

Into What is now known as the Lincoln

mendation OF Supt. Brown, TO relieve
thc rruvo Bench district, which did not
have any corporate property to assess,
and the school facilities were below the
standard. The district has over 1876
children and only school DOM for about
forty. The Lake View district has a
great deal OF corporate property within
its limits and has built school houses To
be proud OF and has money on hand
The taxpayers protested against the
con solidation, claiming that ii was done
without notice to them.
The other districts are apparently sat
isiied with the enlarged district, as il
now stands, but il Lake View is let out

There WAS very large delegation
present from each district, and the pro-
position was talked over at great length
by all parties. Supt. Brown was pre-

Discuss Unit Proposition
Doubt the Wisdom of the Change
MS Contemplated

At the meeting OF the trustees from
the sclnol districts of the county held
on Saturday at Provo the question OF
the proposed county unit was discussed
at some length. Most of those who
spoke are against centralizing the power
OF all the trustees in the hands OF from
three 10 seven, as set forth ia the report
OF the state superintendent.
We doubt the Wisdom OF she change
TO make eacl, county one school district.
We believe ia The idea that the more
workers there are entrusted In the
cause of education the better the re-
suits ought TO he II it is not 50, why
is il that parents meetings are called
by the teachers. The Obi CT IL, as we
understand it, TO get rs many persons
interested ~ possible in the education
Of The children. hence We believe thai
aine trustees in te towns OF Lehi
American Fork and Pleasant tiroye will
do more work towards forwarding the,
educational interest than one trustee
lor the three school districts
This SUBJECT IN one that the Taxpayers
should have some shy about. Tllrrv
seems TO be a disposilion ON the part OF
SOME OF our educators to govern mat
tiers OF this kind But n reference to
the tax role shows That this class have
but little property 10 he assessed gem
vra.ly speaking
From what we know now we dol,'t
advocate the ceniralizing, and doubt
the wis,iom Of the proposed charge.
