DRAINING FIELD AND RANCE
Successful Operation Has Developed
Necessity Of More Extended Work
to Secure Outlets.

The successful drainage of the field
and ranch has developed the necessity
of making more extended work TO Sc
cure outlets which are adequate to re-
ceive the water from the several
farms. irrigated land has few. If any.
watercourses. so that drainage water
must be delivered through artificial
bitches. usually to the same stream
from which the water was originally
diverted. The construction of such
outlet drains requires the cooperation
OF the owners OF land which Is to be
benefited. This is secured under the
provisions of the state drainage laws.
which permit owners of land to form
corporate district and distribute
the cost of the work among the sew
eral owners in proportion to the bene-
fiji each will receive The assessments
so apportioned are collected as taxes
and the proceeds applied TO pay for
the cost OF such work as has been
agreed upon. Each landowner within
the district then has a right to use the
outlets and participate in all of the
benefits which Will accrue from the
work
II is quite often the case that little
or no field drainage can be success
fully done until outlets have been
made Districts of this character con
tanning 10000 acres or more have been
inaugurated in the states of Washing
ton. Utah and Colorado, but none has
as yet been completed This feature
of drainage. which has but recently
been forced upon the people in certain
sections, is new and brings up some
troublesome questions concerning the
location of such drains as will prove
of common utility. and also concern
ing the equitable assessment of their
cost upon the several tracts of land
for which they provide drainage.
There are at least 800 600 acres Of
irrigated land which now require
draining in order 10 make them profit
ably productive the larger part o.
which will require the construction o
outlet drains in which more or les!
cooperation Of property owners vii
be required. After the land which Il
drained has become fairly free from
alkali. with which it is often highl!
charged. the water flowing from th'
main drains becomes highly valuable
for irrigation. Such water then be

10 irrigate lands occupying a lowe
level These questions have not ye
been adjusted satisfactorily in conneC
ton with drainage projects. In fact
they are only preached when the ne
cessity for public drainage districts re
quires their consideration. 1t is quit
certain that drainage districts mus
soon be as much feature of irrigate
farming as they now ARE OF agricu
