orchard placed on a piece of desert
land will stand a large amount of
water the first few years but with
excessive irrigation the soil gradually
becomes filled with water and if the
pace is kept up the orchard in eight
years is bound to suffer from over
irrigation.
Some growers will say than an or
chard cannot be over-watered and
we will admit that in a few favored
localities such seems to be the case.
But in the greater part of the Colo
RADIO orchard districts it is not safe
to go on such a supposition. We have
a great variety of soils and because a
neighbor half a mile down the road
can water his orchard five times dur
ing season and not hurt it is no
sign that all can do so. Anothers soil
may be entirely different and the
water supply from below may be more
or less. The question may be asked
what is the water for? What good
does it do the trees? The most i'm

ders is the carrying Of its food ma

MANY ORCHARDISTS USE
MORE WATER THAN NEEDED

1t is a misfortune that all fruit
growers do not know how to use
water in their irrigating operations,
writes o. B. Whipple in Field and
Farm. 1t is sad fact that some men
think that success in growing an
orchard depends largely upon the
amount of water they are able to
pour on the land during the season.
1t is quite common to find such Or
chards in very bad condition and
actually dying. If such is not the
case it is only because of the favor

drainage. 1t is true that a young

terials. These can only be absorbed
by the trees in solution and the water
acts as a solvent.
Another function. OF water Is to
hold the plant tissues turgid and
thus make growth possible. Very lit
tie we may say of the water absorbed
by the plants is used in building up
the tissues. A lack of water in the
soil will injure the trees by cutting
off the food supply, as water must
carry the food materials. An excess
of water in the soil simply browns
the roots, for they must have air as
we'll as water. The ideal condition
for soil as regards moisture is to have
every particle surrounded by film
of water and all spaces between the
soil particles filled with air. When
watering is continued after the soil
particles ARE enveloped in a film of
water the spaces between begin to fill
with free water which drives out the
air. Without air from which to OBJ
tain oxygen the roots will drown as
surely as will person under water.
This free water is never taken up
by the trees as such and is therefore

a detriment When the suggestion is
made to a grower that his orchard is
probably receiving too much water
he may point out a row of trees grow
ing thriftily along the ditch, where
water runs all summer. This does
not proove that the trees near the mid
die of the orchard are not receiving
enough water nor that they are re-
ceiving too much. The water which
the first row gets is constantly
changing, a fresh supply being close
at hand. while back farther the water
becomes stagnant. Fresh water con-
tains a certain amount of air and the
trees are able to live If supplied with
fresh water from which to get the
oxygen 1t is stagnant water that
kills the trees. After the roots have
appropriated the air it contains it
simply stands over the roots, allowing
no fresh air or fresh water supply to
get to them. In this way we can cas-
lily account for the thrifty condition
of the row next the ditch.

where we are not confronted by lawyers

stantly on the lookout for some claim
against us. A short time ago a man
bought a horse for about $40 and tied it
- a post with a rotten strap with the
J, ,s,yiberate purpose OF having it frightened
BY the bands in our parade. The horse
was frightened all right, broke away from
its fastenings and broke its legs We were
compelled to pay ten times the value Of
the animal or to suffer great delay and
annoyance. We run across this sort of
thing so frequently that 1t has become
second nature to expect trouble in every
city in which We enter. Most OF the cases
made up against the wild West are alb
solutely without merit. They might he
designated as blackmail and yet owing to
the fact that we are so short time in
each town it has been found cheaper in
the past to pay exhorbitant demands
rather than to stay and night However.
from this time on this blackmail will cease
as the company now conducting the 'Wud
