Practical Answers to Some OF the

Practical Answers to some OF the
! Problems He Meets. 5@ggJt
It is easy to say irrigate when the
plants ileeds additional moisture, but in
successful practice Irrigation is not
quite so simple as that. The average
Colorado farmer, prompted by whole
some fear of a shortage, will advise
his neighbor to irrigate when he can
get the water Both theories need eX-
PLANTATION, according to a writer in
Orange Judd Farmer, especially to the
thousands of rain farmers, who will
presently become ditch trotters under
some one of Uncle Sans new enter
prises.
With reference to moisture, there are
two critical periods in the making of
any crop. The first is when the seeds
are terminating or in the case of es-
tablished alfalfa when the crowns be-
gin to swell. The latter crop will stand
some abuse In the way of either
drought or drowning, but the man who
plants corn in dry ground and irrigates
1t up with ice cold water will not send
a photograph of his field Of growing
corn to the farm newspapers.
Irrigate First, Then Plant.
Blooming time is the second crisis.
It is not too much to say that water
spells success at this period, for lack
of it is almost fatal. A field that has
good natural drainage can hardly be
made too wet when the crop, almost
any crop, is in bloom. There is one not
able exception. The first cutting of al
falfa that is intended for seed and not
for hay should be rather dry when
blooming begins and should not be irri-
gated thereafter until just before cut
ting, when light watering will render
the seed pods less liable to shatter.
When seed alfalfa is kept wet during
the time the bloom is falling the plant
Is apt to cast the first seed pods, which
are the best, and continue blooming,
while the stems become woody and I'M
fit for forage. The crop is thus par
tial or total failure for either seed or
hay, and the vitality of the plant is
largely exhausted. The meadow falls
an easy prey to dodder or in any event
cannot fully recover for two or three
seasons
Wheat when in the bloom requires a
good deal of moisture. The exact
amount varies, Of course, but success
full farmers are unanimous in the opin-
ion that properly irrigated wheatfields
when in the bloom should be much
wetter than the same fields would APP
pear after Il soaking rain. The prac-
tice is to soak the soil thoroughly, and
all experience proves that we'll drain
ed field can hardly be made too wet at
this period On the contrary, a light
application of water on a field danger
ously dry will frequently cause rust,
especially if the growth Of straw is
very rank and the weather hot.

Covers can be put to excellent use in

can safely stand outside with the COW

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.

Though some high temperatures
were registered during the last four
days, the mean temperature of the
past week was little below the nor
NAL for the latter half of July. In
the forepart of the week there was
considerable cloudiness, with local
showers of variable amounts. The
average rainfall was much below the
normal, the larger measurements
being reported from portions of the
northern section. AS yet, however,
the crops show no signs of suffering
from effects of dry weather. Corn
has made rapid growth, and on the
average the crop is more promising
than on the corresponding date in any
previous year since 1900. Good
progress has been made in haying
and harvesting oats and barley, and
the quality of both hay and grain is
reported to be better than the average
of recent years. Pastures are fair,
and all the minor crops are doing cot
