plans, as the government and the
state station director will work in per-
feet harmony. Mr.. Bark has been
sent here by Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson to study the uses of water for
irrigation purposes with view to aid
ing the farmer and fruitgrower who
own irrigated land.
The state official will cooperate
with him, since the research will be
Of direct benefit to the citizens. That
the government must make original
research which will be of great bene-
fit to the irrigationists is the opinion
of the officials of the department of
agriculture, for water conservation
must be adopted as extensive arid
areas are brought under water.
Mr. Bark will make numerous ex-
periments in order TO learn the exact
amount of water needed for various
crops. Farmers will be asked TO di-
minish the water so per cent on an
acre, while on another acre double the
amount will be used. Eventually he
VIII be aDle 10 issue a Dulletln Wnlcn
will specify the exact amount of wat
er required for certain crops and for
certain soils.
With the increasing demand for
water for irrigation purposes the gov
ernment must prevent the lavish waste
Of water and this is the work which
Mr. Bark has set out to do. He will
interest scores of farmers on irriga-
ted tracts and the state experiment
station at Gooding will be Of much as
sistance. He will go to Lewiston next
week, where he will make a study of
soil conditions and enlist the cooper
alton of fruitgrowers, who will per-
form the experiments under his d.
rection.
