TO IRRIGATE THE POTATOES

Allow Water to Run Along

tBy L. FITCH. Colorado Agricultural
Potatoes should Be- ditched for ir-
rigation SO that the roots and their
food soil shall be wet, but so the
water will not puddle nor pack the
surfac" or body Of the soil above or
aroun4 the tubers.
This means that on fiat lands the
ditch"S must be large and deep to
allow The water to run along the row
and h"wherc to go too high. Flat
lands must be well graded. moreover.
SO There Will be no hummocks to back
up II" water nor hollows to cause
flooding. Similarly. on fiat lands.
two Way plows should be used. that
there may be neither back burrows
nor DE- ai burrows.
On IHnds with abundance Of fall, po-
tatoes should not be ditched deep.
ly, as The water should run on q
higher bottom. because It will run
rapid and be shallow. Sloping po-
tato lands should be cultivated COM
para'lN"ly shallow, except the first
time. As part OF the same plan.

width Of hill and are to be avoided

Dierhes between potato rows should
be made with small "V" ditcher.
that the sides may be packed and

made with a sweep or middle-breaker.

Fertilizer for Wheat.

The character Of the fertilizer need.
ed for wheat depends upon the soil.
Ground which has received heavy
coats of manure or heavy clover sod.
or land that IL naturally rich In nitro.
gen like some of the black soils OF the
corn states. does not need any nitro.
gen in the fertilizer. and the presence
OF this element might do more harm
than good by increasing the rankness
OF growth and the weakness Of the
stalk. says n writer in the Baltimore
American. While 1t is a common as
sumption that phosphorlc acid Is
needed when wheat kernels usually
are not plump. the shrunken condition
may be due to other causes than lack
OF phosphoric acid. In some sections
It is due to plant disease. and often II
Is the result OF early lodging. Gen
orally speaking. however. wheat
fertilizer should be rich In phosphoric
acid. Potash ordinarily has a tendency
to stiffen straw. but II the soil is too
rich in nitrogen the straw will be
weak regardless OF any applications
OF potash.
On much ordinary soil n fertilizer
containing its plant food In the pro-
portion found in 2.S.5 fertilizer gives
profitable results. although I should
want more plant food In a ton II the
price were $25.

DAIRY NOTES.

Young calves need whole milk for
the first few days.
TOO much attention cannot be given
to the Individuality OF the COW.
The management OF the calf during
the first year has much to do with its
later usefulness.
Thee Is no method known by which
cows can be insured against bloat
when pasturing on alfalfa.
The roughage for calves should first
be fed at two or three weeks Of age,
when the calf begins to eat grain.
Two pounds OF grain with the proper
amount OF skim milk equals In feed
Ing value one pound of butter fat.
Experiments show that II Is orb,
onefourth as expensive to raise a
calf on skim milk as on whole milk.
4 little common sense mixed with
patience will teach a young calf to
drink out Of pail quicker than main
strength.
one OF the main arguments for 81.
lage as a dairy feed Is that It is easily
diprsted. This is where 1t Is superior
To dry feeds.
The grain Tor calves should be fed
first while the calf is quite small.
with a little bran to aid the calf In
EARNING to cnt.
skim milk Is cheap feed for calves.
but should be fed carefully In limited
quantities and only when 1t is warm
and sweet.
II your COW has milk fever. pump
air into her bladder with a bicycle
pump. This ought to stop It at once
II the COW Is properly cared for she
need have no fever.
No dairyman can AFFORD to have his
COWS go hungry during part Of the
summer season. especially not II the
ajority of his cows come fresh In the
spring, as most farmers cows do.

LESSEN WATER LOSS
Large Volumes Lost by Absorp-
tion In Canal Systems.
One Of Most Common Sources OF
0hrInkaoe 10 From Faulty Prep
aratIon Of Surface eoll-An-
other 10 Lack Of Attention..

Recent investigation made by the
experiment stations have shown that
the quantity OF water which plants use
forms but small part Of that which
is diverted from streams for irriga'
ton purposes. Large volumes are
lost by absorption and seepage In the
6arthen channels Of canal systems.
Similar losses occur In the bitches
which supply farms and large part
Of the remainder is wasted in irriga.
ting crops. The farmer is chiefly con-
Cerned in lessening the waste OF wa
ter In his supply ditch and on his
farm. In localities where water Is
scarce. the supply ditch should be
made water-tight. This may be done
by lining the channel with cement
concrete. cement plaster asphalt.
heavy crude oil. or clay puddle.
Fumes or pipes may also be used as
a substitute for an eartbern ditch.
One Of the most common sources
of loss Of water Is poor preparation
OF the surface. When the soil Is ir-
rigated by flooding from field laterals
an uneven surface causes needless
waste Of water. extra labor In spread
ing 1t over the surface. and smaller
yields. The water flows into the low
places. which receive too much and
may become water-logged. while the
high places are left without water
and the crop thereon is dwarfed. The
surface between field laterals should
he SO evenly graded that water will
dow in thin sheet over the entire
surface. the excess being caught up
by the lower lateral.
Another common cause of waste Ia
the lack Of attendance. Water is oft.
en- turned on a portion Of field and
permitted to run without attention for
hours and even days. On some farms
the irrigators look after the water for
ten hours and turn 1t loose for the
balance Of the day. Under this prac'
tice the low places received too
much, the high places little or none
and a large part flows of the field to
the injury Of the roads and adjoining
farms.
Too shallow and too frequent irriga.
tion Is another source Of waste. Wet
ting the surface and neglecting to cul.
tivate 1t afterwards may result In
the loss by evaporation OF three
fourths OF the water which is applied
In this way. For most plants. and
for all deep-rooted plants in particu
lar. the ground should be SO prepared
that water would readily percolate to
a considerable depth beneath the surf
ace and enough water should be ap
piled to moisten the snbsoil.
Again. in farming by irrigation thor
ough and frequent cultivation is OF
FIRST Importance. It not only pre-
vents the escape Of large quantities OF
soil moisture into the air In the form
Of vapor. but It greatly improves the
condition Of the soil.
