lrrieation's Best Gift.

Not the assurance that it gives
against failure of the crops; not the
increased yield that it brings; not
even the reclamation of barren lands
to profitable agriculture, is the best
and greatest gift of irrigation to Amer
lea. That gift is the wide demon
stration of the superior profitableness
compared with the big farm; and of
the greater prosperity which comes
to every interest in the nation from
the multiplication of small farms as
compared with the holding of land by
individuals in large tracts.
Irrigation has practically unified the
sentiment of manufacturers, mer-
chants and transportation agencies in
the support of the propaganda of the
small farm The latter had it's advO-
Gates fifty years ago, and some few
isolated practical demonstrations; but
with the mass, even of intelligent men,
it remained nothing but theory. The
business sympathies of the manufac-
turer and merchant were given to the
man with the big farm, as being a
large consumer, better customer, a
shipper of much freight. Now all
these find it demonstrated by numer
Gus prosperous communities on every
irrigated area, that hundred farms
of ten acres give them nearly a hun
dred times as much business as one
farm Of a thousand acres.

Irrigation With Canvas Checks.

Wheat irrigation is going on all
over the west where the great cereal
is grown While irrigation is simple
enough to some men it is a very per-
picking problem to others who have
not had much experience in the run
ming of water. When the water is
turned into the bitches all that is
necessary to do is to put checks or
dams in them in succession so that
each dam will make the water over
lap at least ten feet the ground wet
by the flow from the previous one.
The dams either square or trlangu-
lar, are nearly always made from a
piece of canvas nailed to pole or
board wide enough to rest well on
each bank. Twelve ounce ducling of
the ordinary width is all that is need
ed and of a length prOportiOnate to
the width of the ditch.
The pole is laid firmly on the banks,
which are cut Immediately above 1t
and the earth from these cuts placed
on the edges of the canvas in the
bottom and sides of the ditch, giving
the canvas an upstream incline, as
to it's edge. If the current is not
very rapid, but little earth is needed
on the canvas as the weight of the
water on the lower upstream edge
holds it against the down stream pres
sure. Some use two OF these canvas
dams alternately for each ditch he
may be running and an active man,
if he has a sufficient head of water,
can run three bitches abreast While
others use only one for each ditch, as
the dam can be put into running
ditch by cutting the banks, placing the
pole between the cut and stepping
with the edge of the canvas up stream
and holding it there under the boot
until it can be shoveled in.
It might be said that such bitches
as we use in wheat fields of fair or
usual fall will run about cubic
foot a second, or in other words, a
full water right for 100 acres will run
about three bitches which will water
six acres or so. This will give wa
tering eleven inches deep 1t may be
said that this is more depth than is
ordinarily needed for one irrigation
The fact is that if the land is plowed
deep. say ten inches the irrigation
cannot get over the land evenly with
any less. 1t will require at least six
inches to wet the top soil, as it has
TO be wet in order to have the water
flow on over it. Theoretically three
inches of water will wet a foot of soil
on the average. but this means com
pact subsoil When water is put on
loose, dry surface it makes it into
wet mush. and it will Immediately
penetrate as deep as it is loose.
Such soil contains a much greater
per cent. Of water than a compact
moistened subsoil. Now. assuming
that the water is allowed to run in
for two hours as it ought to reach
any distance from the dam on level
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-01-15

land-and all the time it is settling
into the subsoil which we will say is
to the depth of two feet. This sub
soil will take another six inches OF
water making about foot in all to
wet the land three feet deep. All
this will be super-saturated and in
few hours, it will reach the depth OF
four feet. The second irrigation will
usually not take much more than half
of the first since the surface is settled
and the subsoil more or less moist.
If the first irrigation is late and there
is a good, deep, compact subsoil one
irrigation will bring crop, and we
would rather have one tWelve-inch
irrigation than two six-inch ones. One
can get over the surface with six
inches if the incline is steep and on
such a surface it is best to irrigate
light and often.

The International Harvester Co.,

some catalogues and calendars, one
set for each of the harvesting ma

-harvesters, gas and gaso-
line engines, cream separators, etc.
There are also two catalogues describ-

The schedule. even by playing Yale in
