color, which they will do in a week
or sc after coming out of the ground,
note this: If the plant turns vel
low-alfalfa and clover excepted
with the knowledge that there is suf-
icient moisture there, it would indi-
cate that there is an exces of mois-
ture, when, on the other hand, any
of these plants become darker green
than their natural color, it means
that they are suffering for water, and
should be irrigated at once.
The farmers eye is one of the
greatest assets to a farmer. He must
learn to see asd know the condition
OF plants. Plants have a language,
but can only transmit their wants to
the farmer through his eye. He must,
therefore, be a good observer, and
when once he learns this sign Ian
guage he will know exactly what to
do and when to do it.
Now, to recapitulate, remember
that the ability of the soil to hold
moisture or to store water is directly
is proportion to the soil particles.
This same priciple applies to the
frequency of irrigation and the dura-
ton of irrigation, as well as the ro-
tation of the crops. This, together
with the above mentioned tests with
regard to when to irrigate, coupled
with the complete control of the ir-
rigating water, makes farming in an
arid coustry a pleasure and a salts
faction, for the farmer a count on
exactly what he is going to harvest
without being hampered by excessive
moisture or drouth, which is beyond
his control in the humid districts.
Then there is another factor that
comes to the progressive farmer, and
that is this-that he is a workman
together with the Creator in produc-
ing the blessings to mankind, and no
man who has come to this country
and cleared off a forty-acre sage
brush farm and made it blossom like
the rose has lived in vain. No man
ask work with a higher being
than the Creator of all things; and
when a man realizes that he is work
isg together with God, in partner
ship with him in producing something
that did not exist before, he will rea-
lie the dignity of his calling and
stimulate his intelligent forces to
such a degree that he becomes a

not overturning with it's valuable

must bear in mind that if he intesds
to irrigate he must either control
the water absolutely, or it will con
rol him. When bitches are new they
are very unstable and the least stream
of water passing out through the
bank of the ditch will soon cut il
way and the irrigator will become a
placer miner in a very short time.

hibited) and the lath spout (model

have sufficient fall; and the texture

Just right for this method. When this
system is once set up it becomes au-
tomato and your water will be con-
trolled and you can irrigate both
night and day, thus %irrigating twice
as much as you a any other way,
besides having the peace of mind
and the satisfaction that you are
in control and the results in crop
production will be more than salts

The soil on the Richfeld tract at
the present time is in an ideal con-
dition for seeding. However, if the
settler plows his land now, it should
be narrowed Immediately. What is
plowed in the forenoon should be har-
rowed before evening thoroughly, in
order to retain the moisture in the
soil in sufficient quantities { ogermin-
ate seeds, until the rootlets have pen
etrated the deeper soils where the
larger proportion of moisture is.
Many of the settlers here intend to
plant potatoes. These should not be
planted until the middle of May. II
the land, when the potatoes are plant
ed, is drier than the potatoes, the
soil will not extract the juices from
the seed and thus detract from the
growth of the young potato; so If
the soil is drier than the potato, h
land should be irrigated before the
potatoes are planted. No more irri-
CATION would be necessary on this
soil for the potato until about BIOS
soming time; then probably only one
irrigation would be necessary to pro-
duce a bumper crop.
Oftentimes ! am asked how will
know as to when to irrigate. In an
swer would say hal the first test
would be to dig down into the soil
2 or 3 inches, take a handful OF it
and if it retains in a ball when you
crush it in four hand, showing there

necessary, Hut if it crumbles and
shows sigio of dryness' irrigats at
