TERM OF WINTER IRRIGATION
Practise Confined Largely to Warmer
Parts Of Arid Regon-it Pre-
vents WlnterkillInq.

When water is applied either to
bare soil or to crops outside of the
regular irrigation season 1t is termed
winter irrigation. The practise thus
far has been confined largely to the
warmer parts of the arid region. 1t has
become well established in Arizona
and California and is being quite rap
idly extended to parts of Oregon, Kan
sas and the Rocky Mountain states.
Experience has shown that a deep
retentive soil Is capable of storing a
large quantity of water On account
of the fiuctuation of western streams
of all kinds, from the small >creek to
the large river. the greatest flow of
water often comes at season when
there is least demand for it. In a few
localities adequate storage facilities
have been provided to retain the sur
plus, but as a rule 1t is allowed to go
to waste. The passage of so much
waste water led to the introduction of
winter irrigation and in nearly every
case the results have been satisfac-
tory. The chief differences between
winter and ordinary irrigations are
the larger volumes used, the crude
manner of conveying and applying the
water, and the dormant or partially
dormant condition of the plants at the
time of irrigation.
Besides furnishing a supply of much
needed moisture. winter irrigation,

check, straighten the roots out In a
natural position, fill in among them
firmly with fine dirt and tramp down
with the feet. Set the trees a little
deeper than they stood in the nursery
and slightly lean to the southwest to
brace them against prevailing winds.
In this position the tops will soon
shade and protect the bodies from the
intense heat of the summer. which Is
likely to cause sunscald. After the
planting of the orchard is completed
the open burrows. in which the trees
were planted. may be filled up by plow.

against the row. At the same time it
will leave furrow open for running
the water. The trees should be well
irrigated after the planting is com
pleted.
