AFFECTING
THE DUTY OF WATER


years about the duty of water in ir-
rigation, and in the future we will
have the problem squarely before
US, how to increase the duty of
water, or in other words. how are
we going to conserve our moisture
There are several conditions which
affect this question, but we will
touch upon one only at time:
namely, the character of the soil
and subsoil.
The character of the soil is prob
ably the greatest factor to consider,
as the texture OF tho soil Al regards
its porosity has more to do with
the water used than any other one
thing. Before this problem of duty
of water can be definitely settled as
regards any community. q soil sur
vey should be made and actual con-
ditions observed. We are beginning
to observe that 1t is possible to have
adjoining fields raising the same
kinds of crops. apparently under the
same conditions. which have a
different factor for the duty of
water. This is due to the
fact that the soil conditions of
one are different from those of the
other. You would not be justified
In saying that the duty of water for
your farm II the same for all fields.
"A heavy soil may mature q crop
with single irrigation of q few
acre-inches, while q gravelly soil
may require ~ many acre-feet. In
the first case the water will not
soak SO deep In the ground as to
go beyond the zone OF the roots and
the only loss will be that due to
evaporation. while in the second
case the soil particles being SO large,
the water readily goes below the
feeding depth Of the plants and is
lost SO far as the growth of the crop
is concerned
AS our arid west Is rapidly be-
coming a great agricultural country,
the amount of water available being
practically constant. 1t behooves us
to seek means to secure water for
large irrigation systems. This can
be accomplished in a large measure
by the study of the duty of water,
or conservation OF moisture. In the
case sighted above. the two soils,
one heavy and the other light. we
would be wasteful of water to at
tempt to irrigate both fields by the
same method. Flooding may answer
for the first case, but 1t ia an ex-
travagant process for the latter. In
some soils at least, two-thirds OF
the water applied would not be used
by the growing plants.
Again we find the evaporation in
the coarse soil to be great. and the
soil would soon lose its water con-
tent. Ordinarily. the best way to
handle soil of this nature is to
divide the field into short runs, say
500 feet with frequent cross bitches.
using q large head and irrigate more
often.
The duty Of water 10 also affected
by the depth of the soil. A shallow
soil will absorb . small amount OF
water and will retain It but q short
time. and hence necessitates the use
of larger heads and more frequent
irrigation.
We shall be nearer the solution OF
tho problem of the duty OF water
when each farmer knows the char
acter of his soil and the proper
method Of irrigation. This will
make more water available for the
lands now in want, and ultimately
aid in materially increasing the
prosperity Of the community.

Profanity

A too common fault is profanity.
1t is found among some very good
men 1t is doubtless so common be-
cause it is lightly regarded as fault.
By-words trip of the tongue and are
gone before the speaker realizes they
have been uttered. But you ask,
What harm is IL? The harm GER
tainly cannot be determined by any
hard and fast rule. That is scarcely
the right standard by which to meas
ure its influence, anyway. We do not
commonly prefer the negative to the
positive view. If you ask what good
profanity does the answer is easier.
Profanity is useless waste of
words in the first place. 1t is express
sive, possibly. but expressive of pas
sion that could be better expressed by
better choice of words Profanity
is expletive-it serves to fill in, but is
a miserable substitute for real words
1t seems to indicate an exhausted
vocabulary. After a man has done
his best to tell his meaning. or his
feelings, in acceptable language and
finds he still has emotions unex-
pressed. he draws on profanity, utters
a few red-hot oaths. In so doing he
has raised the signal of distress. Do
curses suggest strength, then, or
weakness? They are not even good
safety valve for the temper, for oaths
and vile names offend refined tastes
and sensitive self-resepect and lead to
further complications.
One use or abuse of this method of
expression and communication that is
extremely offensive is that practiced
in public places in about every city, in
spite of all efforts to prevent it. Here
it is nuisance and an abuse without
justification and should be curbed as
much as possible. Not only does it
offend women but it carries it's evil
influence to the ears of children, who
require no early training in that sort
of thing. Our language suffers seri-
ously from slang and vernacular ex-
pressions, which are, after all, only
laDses of profanity.
