April Rainfall Was
Heaviest For Years.


Rainfall for April was the
heaviest recorded by the weather
bureau for this section for forty
two years. For April, 1874,
1l.84 inches of rainfall was re-
corded, and for the past month
1l.73 inches.
The greatest rainfall recorded
at any time by the weather
bureau for this section is for Jam
uary. 1882, when 14.5l inches Of
rain fell. 1t was at this time
that the Ohio river reached its
highest point. $50 feet at Padu-
cab.
For the last week in April, SIS
inches of rainfall fell, 3.8Sinches

THE THIRST OF AN ORCHARD.
R. l., ADAMS

In nearly all orchard irrigation
work too little water is given When
only a small quantity is applied 1t
draws the roots near the surface
Much of the water Is held IN The
mulch and is again lost when the
mulch dries out. In the first foot OF
soil practically seven inches is open
soil and into this the air and water
enter. Four feet at least is required
for root development. In order to
fill this a corresponding amount OF
water is needed. This. however,
would result in saturating the SOIL
In actual practice, 10 inches OF wat
applied to sandy soils and eighteen
inches to clay lands will give the
best results. Not all the moisture
is available for the crops needs A
part of the moisture Is held close
ly to the soil grains and will not he
given up to the trees even under
very dry conditions.
This microscopic water amounts TO
an immense sheet in aggregate. II
is this water in which most of the
plant foods are being dissolved.
This unavailable moisture is great
er in clay than In sandy soils. as the
amount of sunrface of the smaller
grains is vastly larger than for the
coarse ones, just as marble has
much smaller surface while whole
than when broken into a thousand
! fragments. For this reason the per
centage must be maintained at a
higher point for moisture in clay
soils than for that in sandy lands.
On the other hand, sandy soils VIII
dry out much quicker than clays.
And then excessive irrigation is
to be condemned as it carries off the
soluble plant foods. If these go into
layers of sand or gravel, or into the
watar table, they will be carried off
into the natural drainage of the
country. If the irrigation water
goes deep and still remains in the
soil. it will carry these salts below
the reach of the roots and the
chances of being returned Will de-
, pend on the character of the sol
in It's relation to its capillary pow
er and the depth to which they
rest.
The layers Of gravel and coars'
sand effectually cut off capilarity ant
The Delta independent., 1912-07-19

the water carried below such layers
with its attendant supply of plant
foods is lost. Therefore, sufficient
moisture to just reach the desired
depth is all that need be given. The
need can be determined by both the
appearance of the trees and the
soil. A slackening in growth and a
darkening in color of the foliage are
indications. But as the water should
not fall below a point to create ap-
pearances in the tree, careful watch
must be kept on the soil itself.
Care should be exercised to see that
the proper degree of moisture exists
to the full depth of the soil.
