Uniform irrigation.

There is one disadvantage that free

ton on the lower end of the run un-

tenn is employed. In the system just

right angles to line following the
greatest slope. In another method of

FuRRow IRRIGATION SYSTEM
Has Many Advantages and Can BE
Employed Under Variety OF Con-
ditions on Graded Land.

The furrow system In applying wa
ter can be employed under variety
OF conditions. Where the land Is quite
nat and the water therefore does not
flow along readily. flooding must be
practiced. Where the soil is so porous
that the water sinks quickly flooding
must also be employed. On steep
slopes. where flooding would tend TO
wash. the furrow system can be used
II very small amount OF water is run
In each furrow.
1t is particularly advisable 70 EN-
ploy that system when starting alfal.
IA, as the soil can be maintained in
better tilth and the young plants will
make a better growth than II flooded.
The burrows then made will aid in
leading the water in n straight course
across the field should flooding be
practiced later. The furrow system
can easily and with but little expense
be made automatic and then requires
little attention. II is even used for
old alfalfa fields, but where such is
the practice II is necessary to clean
out the burrows once year. That is
done with the marker used for making
burrows in the first instance,
The head bitches should be from
26i to $50 feet apart Make the
bitches square with the world" II the
conformation of the land permits it,
II obliged TO run them on grade allow
fall OF .0S OF foot per 100 feet. \
crude way to divert the water from
the head ditch into the burrows is to
cut the ditch bank with a shovel. Il
is difficult, however. to give each fur
row the same amount in that way and
the water is liable TO cut deeper in
places and n stream large enough to
do damage 60 down one furrow.
Where there is very little slope II is
possible TO manage furrow irrigation
in that way. but on steep Ia d special
appliances are required. Tubes. called
spouts. made OF lath and two feet in
length are set in the ditch bank just
below the surface of the water Each
spout will divert enough water for
from one to four burrows. depending
upon the slope OF the land. To make
the system automatic and to raise the
water high enough to run through the
spouts check boxes are set in the head
ditch at certain intervals The dis
tance will depend upon the grade OF
the ditch.
The Ordway new era., 1909-10-22
Flooding for Alfalfa.

While furrow irrigation is employed
in starting alfalfa. flooding is very
largely practiced in old alfalfa fields
On very steep land. however, flooding
cannot very well be practiced. Since
alfalfa shades the ground during the
greater part Of the season there is not
so much evaporation or baking of the
surface. Flooding is therefore not as
Objectionable for alfalfa as for other
crops. especially II the fields are
disked at least once a year. Unless
the alfalfa fields are marked out" ev-
cry year We must Of course irrigats
