DRAINAGE OF LANDS
General Need for Draining Irri-
gated Lands Is Increasing.
Summary Of Investigations Made by
Government Expert as Set Forth
in Bulletin Issued by Depart
Knent Of Agriculture.

A bulletin recently issued by the
United States department of agricul.
ture Is OF special interest to farmers
,, in the arid country. The bulletin was
| prepared by Prof. Chas. F. Brown, and
treats of drainage investigations in
the west. The general need for drain.
ing irrigated lands has increased rap.
idly during the last 20 years. A sum.
| mary Of the bulletin follows:
a. The extent and value of lands
in the arid west needing drainage
| make this question of great impor.
| lance. Most of these lands once pro.
duced abundant crops, but now they
lie idle or produce only small por.
ton of what they should. Nearly ev.
cry agricultural district in Utah, Wash.
ington, Montana. Wyoming. Colorado
and California has large areas in this
| condition.
(2) The value of understanding the
fundamental principles of drainage, in
preventing the increase of such condi.
tons and retaining those lands now
affected, can hardly be overestimated
| Millions Of dollars would have been
saved in the west if the injurious re,
suits of seepage water and alkali and
the methods of preventing them had
been known and appreciated. Some
knowledge of the nature and source
of alkali, together with its relation to
crop production, is essential. The re-
ports of experiments in Utah, Wash,
ington, California and Colorado, con.
tanned in this bulletin. afford proof
that such injuries could have been
prevented at a reasonable cost.
. 90 Success is dependent upon cor
| rect plans and proper construction OF
| drains. Careful and systematic sur.
| veys and subsoil examinations should
never be omitted. The form of drain
or section of ditch should be chosen
with reference to it's efficiency in the
| particular soil formation and water
conditions.
(4) The subsequent care and treat
ment of drains and lands will also
determine the ultimate success. In
humid countries drainage systems
! onceN we'll laid, take care of them,
selves and usually operate success
| fully for many years. Drainage sys
TENS in arid countries, where irrl
CATION is practiced, require watching
and treatment after they are laid. The
care is necessary in relation to sur.
face waters, and the treatment OF
lands necessary when they are affect
ed with alkan.
| (5) The cost of draining the lands
described in these investigations is
the basis for the statement that such
lands can be protitably drained. The
Hyde Park lands, formerly only fit
for pascurage, were drained at cost
of $3.50 per acre. During the two
following years different portions were
| planted to oats, wheat and sugar
beets. The yields were too bushels OF
oats, so bushels of wheat, and Is tons
Of sugar beets per acre. The Garland
wet land was drained at cost of
! $16.87 per acre, which raised the
land value from less than 500 to $150
| per acre.

USE IF WATER IN IRRIGATION
In General Way II Can Be Said
Halt Air and Half Water 10
Desirable Condition.

AS regards the frequency Of irri-
cation and the amount required for
one irrigation or for the season the
soil conditions and the climate must
determine the proper treatment. The
deeper the soil and the more retentive
of moisture 1t Is, the more econom-
ically may irrigation water be used
and the less frequent the irrigations.
The shallower the soil and the more
impervious it is the more frequent
must the irrigation be and the less
economically is the water used.
Irrigation in spring should not be-
gin until warm weather has arrived
and then not until the moisture con-
dition of the soil is such as to re-
quire it. If irrigated when cold wealth
er is yet prevalent injury may be done
to the crop, which is indicated by
a yellow foliage. Especially at the
higher attitudes Is this likely to &C.
cur.
AS regards the amount Of water
to apply that should be gagged by our
knowledge of the requirements of the
crop. To apply any more than is ben
eficial and can be put to use is a
waste. The alfalfa plant, as we know,
roots deeply and can draw moisture
from considerable depth, and thus
will not suffer SO quickly as other
crops, as it can draw upon the reserve
in the deeper soil. We know that
alfalfa roots penetrate no deeper than
the water table, which should teach
us that saturated soil is uncongenial
and something which alfalfa cannot
withstand We should, therefore.
avoid such excessive irrigation as will
keep the soil saturated. In a general
way we may say that the desirable
condition is that of half air and half
water in the soil. The closer we can
approach to this the better. Irriga-
ton therefore means replenishing the
moisture contents of the soil to such
depth of subsoil as is permeable,
and stopping the irrigation so as not
to saturate the soil through and
through.
Where the water table is liable to
be affected by irrigation care should
be taken not to apply SO much that
1t is raised and the feeding area Of
the roots in that way restricted. Over
irrigation will aggravate or cause wa
terlogging of the soil and the attend
ing Accommodations of alkali. Where
ground water is within two feet of
the surface as on some river bottoms
alfalfa does not thrive and generally
dies in from three to four years.

IRRIGATION IN THE WINTER
In Very Many Sections Water Is
Turned Into the Orchards, and
Is of Much Benefit.

1t is common practice, and one to
be commended, to pillow the orchard
in the fall and leave it in the rough
during the winter months. In this
case the burrows should be plowed
toward the trees so that the winter
drainage will be away from them. BY
SO blowing and leaving the orchard
the whole winter rainfall will be alb.
sorbed by the soil and stored away
for the summer use of the trees,
whereas, if left unplowed, or left
smooth, the winter rainfall will be
drained off the land. often carrying
with it much of its fertility. In the
spring the land is again plowed. this
time toward the trees, and carefully

is still in the soil, and by constant
cultivation 1t can be retained and the
trees get the whole benefit of 1t. BY
this method the land itself is convert
sed into reservoir in which the win
ter rains are stored for summer use.
In very many sections, where water
can be had for the purpose, winter ir-
rigation is common practice and has
much to recommend it. In this case

fSr 200 years all over Europe. where
it had operated from the Mediterran-
can to Sweden.
BY the close of 1905 the brown tail
had spread pretty we'll over New Eng
land from lower Massachusetts to the
White mountains, and was still
spreading. Mrs. Brown Tail Is trav-
eler, which makes her a great deal
more dangerous than Mrs. Gypsy. The
latter has wings, but cannot use them.
Mrs. Brown Tail has them, and uses
them very WELL She is dissipated
young thing, too. for she always flies
by night, and often telegraph poles
and the sides of houses will be liter
ally whitened in the latter part of
July. The time of flight is from the
list to the goth of July, and as the
| prevailing winds in New England are
| from the southwest. the spread of the
pest has been mostly toward the
northeast.
The moths begin laying their eggs
soon after their flight is commenced,
and the larvae hatch in the early part
of August. They begin eating as soon
as they are Matched, first feeding on
the leaves where they were brought
to light, and later wandering all over
the tree. At night, like well-trained
little ones, they return to their orig
inal leaf. When they are Matched
they are about one-twelfth of an inch
in length, and in five or six weeks shed
their first skin. Later in the season
they mott again. Along in September
the caterpillars begin to spin their
