ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION.

As one becomes more familiar with
the conditions under which the farmer
In the irrigated tracts of the west
works his land and handles his crops
1t is clear that he has several advan-
tages over his fellow farmer in the
central and eastern states. who relies
upon rainfall alone for the moisture
necessary for the growth and maturi-
ty OF his crops. Perhaps his chief and
most important advantage is that he
IS able TO put water on his land ar
will being free from the distraction
and annoyance Of heavy rains during
the time of seeding and cultivation.
which would soak the ground. delay
cultivation and give the weeds a big
boost. Coupled with perfect regu-
lation of the moisture which is al
lowed TO go upon the land Is another
favorable condition-the large number
of clear. bright days during the har-
vest months. which make possible the
perfect ripening Of the grain and hay

under most favorable conditions. Any
one who has tried 10 cure hay between
showers in June in the central and
eastern states will appreciate this
point Lastly, the irrigated lands have
this vital point in their favor-that
little II any of the original fertility Of
the soil has been soaked out and
washed out by repeated and heavy
rains. This accounts for the remark
able productivity Of western soils,
which have waited centuries for the
magic touch Of water TO make them
the garden spots Of earth. In view Of
these points and others which might
be mentioned. It Is not surprising that
many an eastern farmer looks long
ingly toward the west and many an.
other pulls up stakes and goes out to
the irrigated sections.
