IRRIGATION DITCHES-METHODS
OF SOIL PREPARATION
Much Depends Upon Right Location of bitches and
Thorough Cultivation Land.

The new settler in an irrigated dis
trict seldom appreciates the import
ance Of preparing the surface of fields
SO that they may be cheaply, easily
and properly watered. Crops in an
arid climate are as rule good or
bad, according as they have received
the proper amount of water at the
right time, and when the ground is
left so rough and uneven that water
can not be evenly applied the effect
is shown in the reduced yield. The
preparation of the land is a first cost,
and if done thoroughly during the
first or second year little expense
need be incurred afterwards. The DIFF
ference in cost between smooth,
weil-graded field and one which is
poorly graded and rough may not ex-
coed IS per acre. yet this sum is
often lost in one season by diminished
yields due to imperfect watering,
caused by rough, uneven surface
Thorough preparation Of the surface
applies with particular force to a crop
Ike alfalfa, which grows years after
year from the roots, and which is cut
from three to six times each season.
But the preparation Of land for ir-
eigation should follow the building of
supply bitches. While this rule is fire.

better to grade land in conformity to

The margins of supply bitches on
most irrigated farms are the breed
ing ground of weeds. The seeds of
these fall into the water and are
widely scattered by the irrigating
stream. The banks of bitches should
be graded and smoothed so that the
weeds which grow along the sides can
be readily cut and burned. A rapid
growing forage crop like alfalfa also
tends to keep down the weeds and
may be sown along the banks for this
purpose.
In laying out supply bitches an en-.
gineer's level and rod are the most
convenient instruments. The dis.
tsnces may be estimated by pacing.
When such instruments are not avail
able, useful substitute consists of an
ordinary carpenters spirit level at.
tached to portable wooden frame, a
sketch OF which we show. When first
made and placed on level surface
tho bubble should be in the center of
its run. Then one leg is shortened by
tho amount of the grade per rod (see
table of grades). The device is oper.
ated by one man, who first places the
shorter leg at the surface of the water
in the main canal or supply ditch and
swings the other end around until the
bubble comes to the center. The 10.
cation of the longer leg is then

permanent bitches already contruct-
ed than to locate and excavate bitches
to suit land that has been graded and
leveled.
Farm bitches should be located in
the right place at the start. 1t is
mistake to build bitches for the lower
part of a farm and then in after
years, when there is desire to irri.
gate the remainder. to be obliged to
build a second series of bitches for
the higher land. Sufficient water
should first be conveyed from the
canal or other source of supply to the
highest point and from there dis
tributed to the various subdivisions.
In laying out these permanent bitches
an effort should be made to locate
them along field or fence boundaries,
If possible, in order not to obstruct
the passage of teams and implements
in fields. When the grade is too
steep to permit this curved location
through fields should be chosen.
These curved locations for supply
bitches can be so laid out as to add
greatly to the beauty of an irrigated
farm. They become the margins of
fields. by the side of which lanes are
graded. fences built. and shade trees
planted. While the plan of locating
supply bitches around the margins
Of square or. rectangular tracts is per-
haps more convenient for farm opera
/ tions the curved lines nroduce a moro
pleasing effect.
1t often happens that a farm is
more or less cut up by ravines or de.
pressions which intersect or separate
fields. and the supply bitches have to
be extended across these low places.
1 This is usually done in one of three
ways. When the depression is not
! more than u few feet deep levees are
built on each side; in other cases
fumes are built on grade from side
to side. and. lastly, the water may be
carried across in pipe laid in the
form of an inverted siphon. The
earth levee is the cheapest, but it is
subject to leaks and washouts for the
first few years. The wooden fume
answers the purpose we'll, but 1t is
subject to early decay, and the clay
or cement pipe laid beneath the sur
face. although dearer in first cost, IL
really the cheapest In the end.

da's immigration in 1906.

The progress of new country can
not be better ascertained than by not
ing the increase of railroad mileage in
It's transportation system, and, judged
by this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries in the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there was not one hundred miles
Nf railroad west of the Great Lakes,
and very little prospect of a trans
continental route for many years to
tome, but by the end of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance of completion,
aad last year-twenty years later
ever 5000 miles of railroad trayersed
fine provinces of Manitoba, Sas,
= 'xatchcwan and Alberta.
In the past year the work Of rail-
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by the end of 1906.
some 5000 miles of completed railroad
has been added, making total of
fully 1900 miles in the three great
gain producing provinces of Canada.
Such IN increase in the transportation
facilities OF the country Is bound to
make good times not only in the dis
tyicts where the railroads are being
buil!, but throughout the entire west.
Allowing 100000 a mile for construc-
zion. the sum of s1O0,O0O,O0O will be
put in circulation, and this in itself
should cause good times to prevail in
a land where work is plentiful, wages
ire high, and the cost of living is mod.
crate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost of construction. Addition.
al railway building means the opening
OF new agricultural districts and an
additional area under crops; largely
increased, output of grain to foreign
markets with consequent financial re-
turns; the erection of elevators and
tho growth of villages, towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
for. the progress of national life, and
the opening up of additional thousands
OF free homesteads, so extensively ad-
yertised by the Canadian government

It was stated on the floor of the
Canadian Parliament recently by q
prominent representative that ten
years from now would SEQ the bulk Of
the population of Canada residing

work of railway building during the
present year is any criterion, the
prophecy made by tho Canadian states

the time stated. During the present
year no less than 1S9. 064 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west.

have seen the great possibilities of
this new West, and have decided to
cast in their lot with it. Certainly,
