TOO MUCH WATER INJURIOUS
Excessive Irrigation Leaehes Soil or
Fills II With Water to Exclusion
Of Air-TiIlage Remedies.

The lavish use of water Is 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 its 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 result. Where crop production
is dependen. on rainfall and particu-
larly when rainfall is barely sufficient.
farmers soon learn the value of care
flu, and thorough tillage both in pre-
pairing the land for crop and later
whenever intertillage is possible. says
Field and Farm.
But the irrigation farmer with an
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 fact remains. however, that in ir
rigation farming good tillage pays
whether the water supply is abundant
or scanty. Excessive irrigation
teaches the soil or fills 1t with water
to the exclusion of air and conse-
quently interferes with the activities
OF the heterogeneous upon which
plants depend for their food supply.
Good tillage produces opposite re-
suits. A wet soil remains cold while
well-tilled soil warns up quickly
and favors plant growth. 1t is not
sufficient to keep down the weeds by
cultivation. With intertilled crops
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 it can be made vastly
more effective II supplemented by till.
age.
As a 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.
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. OF course no one who
has water right will part with any
of It without a big compensation and
tNis may be done in time. but as It is
we have splashed all around alto
gether too much and have wasted our
water In riotous irrigation.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old. he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in

would irritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and we tried almost everything. but
the eczema seemed to spread. 1t
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.

FARM NOTES.

Any soil that will produce corn will
raise cane.
Clean up fence rows and brushy
land as summer comes on.
Probably tn most waste land on
our farms is along fences.
Cutting the brush and weeds OF a
fence once n year IL not enough.
Tomato soil should be light. In good
physical condition and In the best OF
filth for the best results.
The man who has the best interests
Of his family at heart will not have
hog runs near the dwelling.
The tomato is n slow-growing an
nual. requiring long warm season
for growth and the production OF
fruit
The first essential for a good back
yard is a good fence-one that will
turn cattle and hogs as well as
poultry.
Why so many people keep nice
front yards and neglect their back
yards and gardens is little short of n
mystery.
A weilgrown head OF lettuce will
be almost as solid as cabbage and
the inner leaves bleached to rich
creamy color.
L will pay any farmer to have a set

the portable kind capable of weighing
only 500 or 600 pounds.

back yard harrow and rake 1t down.
fine and smooth. and either send II to
grass thickly or sod IT.
The way to handle cornstalks Is to
60 over the field with a stalk cutter
and reduce them to short lengths
which will not Interfere with blowing
or cultivating.
The trash that accumulates on the
farm each year has actual money
value. and when rightly used It may
be made TO yield no small share of the
net earnings of the farm.
The only thing In the land question
that should concern the average farm
err is in redt eming the many small
places and in making them bring
forth harvests in abundance.
In setting out tomato plants in per-
manent rows in the garden. set them
deeply. as roots will grow out any
place along the stems, hence a greater
root feeding area with deep set plants.
Some back yards are fenced to ex-
cluae poultry and other animals. but
the space is allowed to grow up to
weeds each summer. II is almost as
easy to grow grass as II is to grow
weeds.
Manure scattered with spreader
will bring considerably more return
per ton than where II is scattered ir-
regularly and in larger amounts on the
thinner places. as Is commonly done
where scattered by hand.
The low humus supply existing in
clay soil. together with the low con-
tent of nitrogen and phosphorus. war
rants the feeding of all roughage on
the farm and the scrupulous saving
of barnyard manure where live stock
farming is practised.

Irrloate Grain Fields.

It sometimes occurs that grain
fields must be irrigated in order to
terminate the seed. This is generally
considered as bad practise. The ir-
rigating of land after 1t has been sown
and before the grain comes up gen.
orally causes the ground to crust and
the young plants have great difficulty
in breaking through. This may be
obviated by narrowing after the irri-
eating. The narrowing breaks the
