VALUABLE WATER IS WASTED
Profits Of Alfalfa Growing Can BE
Greatly Increased II More Care
and Skill Exercised.

The profits of alfalfa growing can
be greatly Increased II more care and
skill are exercised. The western ir-
rigator has seldom been able finan-
cially to dig his bitches and prepare
his fields In such way as to insure the
most efficient irrigation and the high
est profits. In consequence valuable
water is wastefully applied TO land
that is In no fit condition to be irri-
gated. On the large acreage in irri-
gated alfalfa this amounts to an enor-
nous loss. This fact. considered in
connection with the importance of the
crop. the rapidly increasing area de-
voted to its growth and the large num-

pendent in a large measure on alfalfa

rant greater interest In preparing the
soil so as to get a perfect stand. We
are not getting enough tonnage from
the acres already In the plant and the
area itself could be very largely In
creased.

LESS WATER WASTE
Large Volumes Are Lost by Ab-
sorprtion and Seepage.
One Of Most Common Sources Of Loss
Is Poor Preparation Of Soil
Too Shallow irrigation 10
Another Cause.

Recent Investigation made by the
experiment station have shown that
the quantity of water which plants
use forms but a small part CT that
which is diverted from streams Tor ir-
rigation purpose. Large volumes are
lost by absorption and seepage in the
earthen channels of canal systems.
Similar losses occur In the bitches
which supply farms. and large part
OF the remainder is wasted In irri-
eating crops. The farmer Is chiefly
concerned in lessening the waste OF
water 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
heavy crude oil, or clay puddle.
Fumes or pipes may also be used as a
substitute for an earthen ditch.
One Of the most common sources of
loss of water is poor preparation Of
the surface. When the soil is irrigated
by flooding from field laterals an I'M
even surface causes needless waste of
water. extra labor In spreading 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 be-
tween field laterals should be so even
ly graded that water will flow In n
thin sheet over the entire surface. the
excess being caught up by the lower
lateral
Another common cause OF waste is
the lack OF attendance. Water is oft
en- turned on a portion OF Held 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 It loose for the
balance Of the day. Under this prac-
tise the low places receive too much.
the high places little or none. and
large part flows on the field to the
injury of the road and adjoining
farms
Too shallow and too frequent irri-
CATION is another source OF waste.
Wetting the surface and neglecting to
cultivate 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 particular. the
ground should be SO prepared that wa
ter would readily percolate to a con-
siderable depth beneath the surface
and enough water should be applied
to moisten the subsoil
Again. in farming by irrigation
thorough and frequent cultivation is
of first Importance. It not only pre-
vents the escape OF large quantities
of soil moisture, but 1t greatly i'm
proves the condition of the soil.
