safely taken at IS per cent of the total
discharge of the ditch. The area under
this ditch, aggregating 1900 acres, re-
ceived during the season of 1901, IS
iuches in depth of water. The rainfall
was s inches. giving total depth of 66
inches. Allowing for the loss of IS per
cent of irrigation water, the total depth
delivered to the land, including rainfall,
reached 81 inches.
One of the laterals OF Bear River canal,
known as A IS, supplies an area of 2oS
acres, which is divided into small farms
ranging from a to 40 acres. The water
was distributed over these lands on the
time basis, each farm receiving the entire
flow of the lateral for period of time
proportional to its acreage. The period
of rotation was seven days. This gave to
each farm once week the use of stream
from IS to as minutes for each acre of
land irrigated. The water applied was
carefully determined by measuring
hume and water register and the rainfall
measured by gauge and the evaporation
by tank designed for the purpose. The
average amount of water applied to the
whole area under the lateral was ~
inches. If to this be added the rainfall
for the season, which was inches, the
total depth of water received was 80
inches. Comparing this with the depth
of water used by the entire area of 1900
acres, it will be seen that the depth used
on the small tract irrigated by this lateral
was 81 inches less than that shown to
have been used on the entire tract. This
indicates quite conclusively that there
was great waste of water not accounted
for. 1t may be justly inferred from the
measurements that the duty of water III
many cases may be nearly doubled by
the proper care of bitches and -judicious
application of water.

you, for you in your cases are subject

we had judge who knew as much as
or more than we did presiding over our
actions and, worse than that, had an
other physician, whose interests We're

at every step and blazoning every err

that condition is just what you men

being ready and willing to take all of
the credit that comes his way.
