 silt moved out with the water and also almost all of the dirt that came In with the water went out with It and now the ditch Is in better condition to carry the silt than ever before, as It Is narrow and the ditch banks are In better shape for horses to walk upon. If the silt can be moved with water then we will not have to turn water out to clean the dltches, but run continuously without interfering with irrigation and not have the mud piled upon the ditch banks. l think we should try slulcing the mud out of the dltehes before we spoil the bank by plllng mud upon them and If we slulce the mud out we will not need the 1 5 feet on either side of the ditch borders. Some ditches may not be In condition for horses to walk upon the banks and there may be too much brush upon the banks of the dltches. If the mud Is not too deep one or two horses may walk in the ditch and draw brush down stream, while 1t Is an easy matter to draw one In that drec- ton. clean the dltches upon my land with the team walking In the ditch and drawing V scraper and which is done while the ditch has little water in 1t.

Making forty-four years of practical experience and twenty-five years of that time was in handling silt and see- ing others handle 1t. As there were hundreds of men slulcing dirt in the mines the waters of Salt river were heavily laden with silt, at times so much so that some of the people will not irrigate with it.
 do not know of any other man who has had as much experience as myself, as know more about hand ling water than l do about farming Handling silt in the Birch ditch Is as easy for me as growing barley and if l had charge of it think l could run the biggest part of the sand out through the delivery gates.
 Every man to his trade, but it seems men generally think that there Is noth- ing In having experience in the hand ling of water, but that Is a mistaken idea. If you harness the water up you can make 1t work for you, but If you fail to adjust the harness then you have to do all the work yourself. All checks and headgates in large ditches should be protected by having wings to extend up stream and connected to the corners of the check or headgates and then flarlne out and made of lumber, so as to receive the water like wedge. There should also be wings below the checks to let the water spread by de- grees after passing through. Then there would be no whirpools at the corners to wash the ditch banks away and which checks the speed of the water and have not seen any that way in this Valley. wanted Beach to let me put one In the Birch ditch, but he would not agree to 1t and If the Redwood gate at the intake had been ,.itL ,,,I.zs kL.k
