Roughly speaking, with given pres

the length of the system is lessened.
Also, the capacity of the pipe line

efficiency. If the orifices are rough,
friction is increased, delivery lessened
and the system heightened. If the

MAKING THE MOST OF A
SMALL WATER SUPPLY
Practical Demonstration Irrigation
by Means of a Pipe Line-By Prof. n. Forbes,
University Of Arizona.

In semi-arid regions, with their
long, hot seasons, group of trees
about the home offers refuge from the
fierce heat. relief to the eye, and often,
indeed, decides between comfort and
misery for those in residence. But
tree once planted must in such a
climate be tended and watered faith

therefore, to arrange a means of dis
tribution not only saving of water.
but also saving of labor. These facts
were impressed upon the wsiter in
the course of long. hot summer dur
ing which. with buckets and hose he
laboriously kept growing a score or
so of recently planted trees. In cast
ing about for better way various de-
vices We're experimental with.
bitches are necessarily wasteful of
water. seepage along intermediate
spaces between trees causing consid-
cradle loss. On irregular ground, also,
irrigation through open bitches is i'm
practicable. Pipe lines with n.y.
drants and hose connections are eco.
nomical of water. which is by this
means applied where it is wanted;
but great deal of time is required
in dragging the hose from tree to tree
and in irrigating by this method.
A method combining convenience
and economy of water was finally OBJ
served in use along one of our city
streets, although for certain reasons
not giving satisfactory results. This
idea consisted, simply, in delivering
water through small orifices bored at
proper intervals in a small pipe line
laid along the tree row desired to be
irrigated, and connected with a suita.
BILE water supply.
If a horizontal pipe line connected
at one end, under pressure, with wa
ter supply, be punctured at intervals
with OFFICES of uniform size, series
of streams will issue from these orr
fees, lessening in the amount of wa
ter delivered with distance from the
supply. Various factors influence the
amount and distribution of discharge

are connected both with the storage
tank and directly, at the surface Of
the ground, with column delivering
water from the pump cylinder to the
tank. This connection at the surface
of the ground does away, when de-
sired. with the extra lift of about 25
feet to the top of the tank, and, espe.
cially in time of light winds, increases
the amount of water delivered at the
surface to the irrigating pipe lines.
These lines are of three-fourths-inch
ordinary black iron pipe laid, with as
few bends as possible. up and down
hill with the grade. along the lines of
trees to be irrigated, and at a distance
of one to two feet from them. Each
branch of the system is controlled by
valve next to the supply. Opposite
each tree bored coupling is placed in
the line. The orifice used is the small
est practicable size, which Is 1892 of
an inch. With little practice, using
wise, brace. and ordinary twist
drills. anyone can make the borings.
This work may be reduced more than
half by filing notch midway and
crcsswise of the coupling with three
cornered file, and boring in the bot
tom of the notch. The complete pipe
line. with bored couplings, is buried
two or three inches below the surface
for protection, being exposed in the
shallow irrigating basins around the
trees. If the line is deeply buried in
the soil the orifices cannot be cleaned
and are liable to be choked by roots.
For convenience of access the orifices
are laid to discharge horizontally, to.
ward the trees. For flushing the line

When it is desired to close an orifice
in order to increase the discharge
farther along the line, an ordinary
round wooden toothpick is inserted,
this device being as effective and con-
venient as an expensive stopcock. To

the points of greatest discharge.
Thus arranged, when it is desired to
irrigate a row of trees, the valve is
turned at the head of the line, the wa
ter is slowly delivered, without waste,
where wanted.
Delivered in this manner in small,
slow streams. the water penetrates
deeply into the soil, inducing deep
root systems, and lessening loss by
evaporation. With the system de-
scribed above, and head of about 20
feet of water, the writer satisfactorily
irrigates as many as 20 trees at time
along three-fourths-inch line 600 feet
long. With oneinch pipe. and the
judicious use of toothpicks, twice to
three times as many irrigations could
be made along one line.
In order to lessen surface evapora,
ton, various mulches have been tried.
The trees experimental with all stand
in shallow basins four to six feet
across and three to six inches deep,
which is convenient arrangement
for mulching. Cultivating the soil

or barnyard manure. Either of these
loose mulch materials, spread to q
