TOO MUCH WATER INJURIOUS
Excessive Irrigation leaehes Soil or
Fills It With Water to Exclusion
OF Air-Tliiaoe Remedies.

The lavish use OF water Ia the
direct cause OF many serious irriga-
ton difficulties. In fact, some Of the
most profitable and highly developed
irrigation farming In this country
owes It's existence and prosperity to a
scarcity OF water supply. So long as
Farmer has an abundance Of water
he almost Invariably yields to the
temptation to use 1t freely. even
though he gets no increase In returns
as q result Where crop production
is dependent on rainfall and particu-
Iarly when rainfall Is barely sufficient.
Farmers soon learn the value of care
III. and thorough tillage both In pre-.
pairing the land for a crop and later
whenever intertillage Is possible. says
Field and Farm.
But the irrigation farmer with mn
adequate water supply is slow to ap-
preciate the fact that thorough tillage
methods abundantly repay their cost.
In our new regions particularly the
tendency to neglect tillage is pro-
nounced. Weeds are usually not
abundant. and one Of the most obvious
reasons for good tillage Is lacking.
The TACT remains. however. that In IT.
rigation farming good tillage pays
whether the water supply Is abundant
or scanty. Excessive irrigation
teaches the soil or fills 1t with water
to thr exclusion Of air and conse-
quently interferes with the activities
OF the mcro-organisms upon which
plants depend for their food supply.
Good tillage produces opposite re-
suits. A wet soil remains cold while
welltlled soil warns up quickly
and favors plant growth. 1t is not
sufficient to keep down the weeds by
cultivation should follow irrigation
and the land should be irrigated no
more frequently than is absolutely
necessary. This much is true even
with abundant irrigation water. When
the water Is scanty there is the added
advantage that 1t can be made vastly
more effective II supplemented by till
age.
AS people we have much to learn
In the way Of water economy. With
proper use the irrigation supply Of
the great majority OF our irrigation
districts could be used for much
larger areas than 1t covers at present.
A more judicious use OF the supply
would also In many cases result in
larger Yields to the acre and would
permit the use OF large areas now
kept too wet for crop production
through the excessive use Of water on
adjacent land. or course no one who
has water right will part with any
OF 1t without big compensation and
this may be done in time. but as 1t Is
we have splashed all around alto
gether too much and have wasted our
water in riotous irrigation.

order to secure perfect results. 1t Is
necessary to remember in this connec-
tion that there are many unburned
places. especially around the dwell
ings. barns and other places where
cattle lie.
Whenever the grass Is repeatedly
burned. the roots become eventually
destroyed. the sweeter grasses give
way to the more resistant and finally
the latter perish. Not only does fire
destroy the scanty sod but in remov-
ing the leaves as protective covering
the hot sun of summer Is permitted to
dry the soil to a crust and continues
the devastation. The best grass saw
was in a place where the young
growth was at least three years old.
In SO far as tick eradication IL con.
cerned, 1t seems to me an injustice
that the necessities Of the work
should be quoted as being opposed
to the needs Of the forest service.
Firing the leaves has not eradicated
ticks. although followed for years.
Instead of being beneficial in the for
est, 1t has killed out the grasses and
even the new growth Of trees. which
SO often furnish in spring the only
source Of nourishment-the buds upon
which the cattle may browse while
the scanty herbage grows.
"I have steadily advised that pas.
lures. meadows and growing crops be
provided. upon which the cattle
could be held and fed the year
around, and thus the need for using
the range be obviated. and the farm
er, by securing control Of the feed
ing and breeding factors. be able to
raise better cattle for the markets.
Under present conditions the noun
tain farmers are saving no manure,
are making small crops. and are rails
ing a very poor quality Of cattle and
hogs. BY attending to better cultiva-
tion, diversified crops. and feeding
stock on the farm, and abandoning the
prejudicial burning of the woods and
range, they can raise a very high quail
ity Of live stock and acquire a better
money crop than they have hereto
fore held.
From my observation and con.
versations with the farmers of the
Ozark forest, on my recent trip. l am
led to believe that they will take up
tick eradication as soon as they can
raise the necessary money. The leg
islature meets In 1911 and they will
then ask for a new five-cent district
