WHEN SOILS LOSE THE WATER
Two-ThIrds In First Three Days After
Irrigation - Cultivation Con-
serves Molsturs.

The quantity of water sucked out OF
the soil by plants in any one day In
midsummer depends upon many con-
ditions. The drier the atmosphere
and the greater the amount Of sun
greater will be the amount of water
taken from the soil. More important
than any Of these factors in causing a
loss Of soil moisture is the amount of
water found in the soil. From wet
soils more water will be lost than
from dry ones; both from direct
evaporation from the soil and from
the greater amount passed through
the plants. Consequently. immedi-
ately after an irrigation much more
water is lost than one or two weeks
later.
1t has been found that, Of the water
lost during the first two weeks after
irrigation, 81 per cent. went the first
three days; 20 per cent. the next
four: % per cent the next three and
II per cent. the last four days. Thus,
nearly one-third Of the water was
lost the first three days and more
than one-half the first week. Since
1t is impossible in practice to apply
water so as to keep the right amount
in the soil all the time. It is necessary
to learn methods by which the evapo-
ration from wet soils can be dimin-
ished. Careful cultivation or stirring
of the top soil no doubt tends to con-
serve the soil moisture.
It is clear. however. that II cultiva-
ton Is to have much value in pre-
venting the loss Of soil water. 1t
should be put into operation as soon
as possible after irrigation-that is.
as soon as the soil is dry enough to
make cultivation possible. Could the
farmers see the thousands of tons OF
fiy-off water that arise as vapor from
the soil the first few days after irri-
cation, they would certainly do all
in their power to stop the waste. 1t
must be remembered In this connec-
ton that the quantity OF water taken
from n wet or moderately dry soil
on which plants are growing is con-
siderably larger than the amount
evaporated from an equal area Of free
water surface.

motionless, as II he could not stir

Dorothy looked at him in amaze

Toto barked sharply and made a snap
at the tin legs, which hurt his teeth.
Did you groan?" asked Dorothy.
Yes answered the tin man: Il

Dorothy at once ran back to the cot
tage and found the oil-can. and then
she returned and asked. anxiously:
Where are your joints?"

Woodman- So she oiled 1t, and as It
was quite badly rusted the Scarecrow
took hold of the tin head and moved
it gently from side to side until II
worked freely, and then the man could

said. And Dorothy oiled them and

PERFECT CARE OF ORCHARD
Little Irrigation Necessary Where
Thorough Cultivation Is Given
and Weeds Exterminated.

A visit was recently made by a
writer in the Deseret Farmer to a
peach orchard that he terms almost
perfect. In speaking of the orchard.
he says among other things:
The trees were In full leaf and the
peaches about half formed. Owing to
the severe frost of last spring, there
was not more than about one-half a
crop on the trees. NoeA weed was TO
be found in the orchard. 1t was the
most thoroughly cultivated field 1t has
eyer been our good fortune to see. A
thick mulch about four inches deep
had been established. making 1t utter
ly impossible for any of the moisture
to escape. Between the trees there
were gooesberry bushes and English
currants. and these bushes had ma
tured full and luscious crops of fruit.
This, too. It must be remembered,
without a single drop of irrigation
water.
AT the time of our visit the trees
were Just beginning to show some evil
dence of whiting. and II was deemed
advisable to apply small irrigation.
In consequence few of the trees had
received little irrigation. but most
of the trees in the orchard had re-
ceived none at all.
THE orchard teaches most valu-
able lesson. The perfect care and
cultivation of this orchard would be
a splendid object lesson to farmers.
and our only regret was that we could
not secure a photograph showing the
conditions as they actually exist there,
so that all the farmers might see the
result of this splendid work. The sue
cess achieved in this orchard was as

much covered by dried branches and
dead leaves from the trees. and the
walking was not at all good.
There were few birds in this part Of
the forest. for birds love the open
country where there is plenty OF sun
shine; but now and then there came .
deep growl from some wild animal
hidden among the trees. These sounds
made the little girls heart beat fast.
for she did not know what made
them; but Toto knew. and he walked
close to Dorothy's side. and did not
even bark In return.
How long will 1t be-" the child
asked of the Tin woodman, before We
are out of the forest7"

City. But my father went there once.
when / was boy. and he said 1t was
long journey through a dangerous
country. although nearer to the city
where OF dwells the country is beauti-
full. But am not afraid so long az
I have my oilcan. and nothing can
hurt the Scarecrow. while you bear
upon your Iorenead the marx OF tno
good Witch's kiss. and that will pro-
tect you from harm"
But Totot"" said the girl. anxiously:
what will protect him?"
I'VE must protect him ourselves. II
he is In danger" replied the Tin
Woodman.
Just as he spoke there came from
the forest terrible roar. and the next
moment great Lion bounded into the
road. With one blow of his paw he
sent the Scarecrow spinning over and
over to the edge of the road. and then
he struck at the Tin Woodman with
his sharp claws. But. to the Lions
surprise. he could make no impression
on the tin. although the Woodman fell
over In the road and lay still.

Alfalfa as Hog Pasture.

One Of the greatest advantages of
alfalfa as a hog pasture is the fact
that 1t affords fresh growth through
CIT the grazing season. The pasture
should be moved at least three times
each season. thus taking on all the
matured stems and giving opportunity
for the sending up of new tender
growth. although in this country the
job is seldom done. 1t is the new.
fresh growth that makes alfalfa pas
ture SO generally preferred by hogs
and SO highly satisfactory as flesh
former. A hog does not Craze like
the COW, horse or sheep. but is best
suited when it can bite on sprig Of
alfalfa, and does not from choice like
to feed on a thick. heavy-coated sod.

MISTAKES IN THE ORCHARDS

Also Resort to the Planting
Of Cover Crops.

About as many mistakes are made
in the irrigation Of orchards as any
thing else of which we have knowl-

a flooding of the whole surface. When
dry enough to work. the adobe soil

sorts to frequent watering to keep the
orchard going. In these soils the
water settles slowly and a smaller
head run in deeper bitches would
prove more satisfactory. Growers
resort to the planting Of cover crops
to improve the texture. They could
gradually be brought into such friable
condition that they could be more
easily handled after irrigation. Grow.

The appearance Of the tree Indicates
to a great extent its needs, but after
all II is an examination OF the sub
soil which most surely determines
whether the orchard needs water or
