AMOUNT OF WATER
FOR CROP PRODUCTION.

Various Investigators have fount
that it requires from about 400
to 1000 pounds of water to pro-
duce a pound of dry matter of a
farm crop. The water requirement
increases with a higher tempera-
ture a greater amount of sunshine
and a dryer atmosphere. In the
arid regions a moderately high
temperature, a cloudless sky and
a dry atmosphere prevail. Conse-
quently the water requirements OF
plants naturally tend to be
higher for the same kinds of
crops. 1t is concluded that about
$50 pounds of water are required
in the arid regions for the pro-
duction of one pound of dry mat
ter of common farm crops.
The straw forms about one-half
of the total weight of harvested
grain. On this basis the total
weight of straw and grain for
every bushel of wheat is 100
pounds. About 80 per cent OF
this or 10S pounds is dry matter.
Therefore, it will require $50
times los or 81 900 pounds of wa
ter to mature one bushel of wheat
This is equal to 401a tons of
water.
One inch of rainfall per acre
weighs Approximately lib tons.
1t is estimated that under good
tillage methods, about two-fifths
of the total rainfall is available
to the crop, therefore, about 4o.2
tons of every acre inch of rain
fall are used by the plants, and
one inch of rainfall can produce
about rs bushels of wheat. I'm
der these conditions, ten inches
of rainfall would produce 11H
bushels, ID inches II bushels
Where two years precipitation is
stored in the soil it will be pos
sible to produce about 81 bushels
of wheat per acre on a l2-inch
rainfall.
Efficiency of conservation and
actual water requirements of
plants vary so much in different
sections that for many localities
the above figures must necessarily
be suggestive rather than actual.
