OUR IRRIGATION LAWS,

A bin is now before the state Leglsla-
ture which has passed the Senate, pro-
vding for Investigations OF the proper
use OF irrigation water and the reclama-
ton OF alkall lands, The purpose OF the
measure II good, and If carried out ac-
coTdlng 10 the spirit and intent OF its
projectors, win prove Of great benefit TO
the agricultural Interests OF Utah. The
work designed TO be effected under It's
provisions Is to be performed by the
Utah Experiment station, which is at
tached to the Agricultural College. I'm
conjunction with the Office OF the Ex-
pertinent station, which Is attached 10
the Agricultural College, In conjunction
with the office OF experiment stations OF
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
The ultimate object IN view Is stated
IN the title, and the work ~ TO Include
investigation OF the water requirements
Of crops grown IN Utah; the amount OF
water needed thereby the right time
to apply water; the best manner OF its
applications the influence OF various
methods Of irrigation upon the quality
OF the crops produced. the irrigation
requirements Of the soils and subsoils
OF Utah, and also Investigations OF al
kali lands with a view 10 their recama-
tion by understanding or otherwise;
and other Inquiries, with view to ar
irving at the economical use Of irrlga-
tlon waters IN this state
The expense OF conducting these In
Yestlgatlons is to be met Jointly by

We arc pleased to learn. by adyices
from Washington, that the authorities
there are well satisfied with the work
that has already been done in Utah UNI
der the direction Of the state Engineer
and tho State Commission, and also
with the articles Of incorporation for
tho Utah and Idaho Water Users as
ISOLATION But It Is very desirable that
the farmers IN these states who expect
to take advantage OF the government
proposition under the Reclamation act
shall bcstlr themselves and take the
necessary steps Immediately to become
Identified with that association.
II rests with them now TO decide
whether the great project, for the bene-
nj Of that part OF Utah ex-
tending from the south end Of
Utah county northward into Southern
Idaho shall he perfected, and this great
region be fully supplied with water for
the irrigation Of thousands OF acres
Of land now uncultivated, and an am
pie quantity for all the farms and or
chards and gardens which are now IN
use. II Is strange that there should
be 80 much apathy on the part of many
OF our farmers on this Vital question
The live agriculturists and leading
mon throughout the community should
try to infuse into the laggards an ac-
tive interest In this matter which con-
Germs the future Of all Northern Utah
and Southern Idaho,
The Department AT Washington re-
CARDS our irrigation law passed at the
last session OF the Legislature as most
admirable, and prominent officials
therein say that the more closely It Is
examined the better II appears, being
free from objections that are made to
similar laws in other Western States
Some doubt has been expressed as 10
the cousttutionallty OF certain pro-
visions In our irrigation law, but they
are nearly an dIsslpated when compar-
ed with other provisions in the same
statute.
The act was prepared, however, dur
ing the sitting OF the Legislature, and
therefore with all the care that was
bestowed upon It there are some fea-
lures Of It that need to be amended.
The necessary changes have been sug-
gestcd TO the governor and viii no
doubt be duly considered by the Legs-
lature The state Engineer is both able
and willing to supply all necessary in
formation concerning irrigation affairs
IN this State, with which he Is thor
oughly familiar We hope and expect
that wisdom and prudence viii be ex-
erclsed in regard to this subject, and
that the bill referred to In this article
will be passed without unnecessary de-

We have a suggestion or two to make
before this bin becomes a law which
W. hope win be accomplished without
unnecessary delay First that the
word varied be inserted in the clause
concerning "the irrigation requirements
Of the soils and sub-solls OF Utah"
Probably the clause as II now stands
VIII cover our meaning, but the lnser-
ton OF the word varied" before the
word SOILS" will make 1t clearer and
prevent misunderstanding. It is well
known that some kinds Of soil require
greater quantity OF water for irrlga-
tion than Others not only because Of
the nature OF their subsoils, but be-
cause OF their own constitution, and
the investigation as 10 the quantity OF
water needed by them should be con-
Quoted with view TO these varied COM
ditlons. The other suggestion Is. that
a proviso be inserted in the bill to this
effect:
Provided, That the work contemplate
ed by this act shall cover those lands
over which the State Photographic
Survey Is and shall be conducted, UNI
der the provisions OF chapter 100, Laws
Of Utah OF 1908, and shall be supple
mentary thereto.
The necessity for complete harmony
between the work to be done by the
Experiment stations and that by the
Photographic survey will be readily
understood by examining the prelimIn-
airy work accomplished by the latter.
We ARE sure that the present officers
Of the Experiment station In this State
intend TO and will perform the duties
incumbent upon them under the pro-
posed act in the manner suggested. But
changes take place in the course Of
years, and It may be necessary 60
guard This point 80 that there may be
no conflict with the departments that
have the oversight Of irrigation affairs,
We hope that the members OF the
Legislature who specially have these
matters under considerations viii look
into this proposition closely, and that
they will regard II very carefully as II
may relate to the entire irrigation In
terests Of the state. Tho scientific and
economical use OF water for irrigation
purposes Is a subject OF vast impor-
lance, affecting the agricultural pro-
gress and welfare OF this mountain re-
gion. We commend the bill as wise
and timely measure, and believe that II
will be improved II the suggestions we
have made shall be adopted
