WASTE IN lRRIGATING.
Extensive Swamps Are Being
Created In Some Sections.
irrigation Of Crops 10 New Science,
and II 10 Logical That Perfection
70 Not Being Reached In lie
Application.

In many sections of the irrigated
districts extensive swamps are being
created by the excessive use OF water
Unless some effective measure Is pro
mulgated to check this excessive use
OF water loss which can hardly be
estimated 10 sure to result. This com
mon mistake can be corrected by au
lucrative state or national government
restriction Of the use OF water in ir'
rigation.
The irrigation Of crops is a new sci
ence. and II 10 logical that perfection
has not been approached in its prac.
tical application The excessive use
OF water is natural tendency under
the conditions which have developed
this science. The farmer does not at.
tempt to determine the amount Of
moisture his land carries under, nor
NAL conditions, nor what degree OF
moisture certain crop requires. The
men of science have demonstrated
that an excess over 20 per cent. ID det.
rfmental 70 almost all crops. This ex.
cess Of moisture excludes the air from
the soil and at the same time. car
ries on the fertility Of the soil and
impoverfshes the land permanently.
II the best results In physical condi-
tion and fertility OF the soil are Sc
cured there can be no waste Of irri-
cation by q sub or surface how from
the Geld. The system Of irrigation
which creates swamp conditions not
only wastes the water but wastes the
fertility Of the land that is being irri-
gated. This double waste should be
effectively stopped BY the authority
OF law.
While We are expending millions Of
dollars In redeeming plants we are
making extensive swamps by An ex-
travagant waste Of water Whom land
is correctly irrigated there can be no
waste OF water to overflow or make
swamps by capillary flow. These new
'swamps are presenting serious engi-
neering problems Of drainage. The re.
lease OF water from suhterranean ba-
sins is expensive and uncertain. The
drainage proposition can be simplified
by an effective control OF the water
which Is supplied at such great ex.
pense, and which is In demand for the
redemption Of excessive desert areas.
It will be q blessing to the land own
or who is constantly putting the nat
ural mineral fertilizers of his soil
into solution and sending It to the
swamps and the so-cailed alkali beds
to become q menace and waste.
Any restrictive measure which could
be enforced to prevent the excessive
use OF water would be forth millions
to the farm owners. That same meas
ure would redeem the millions OF
dollars worth Of land now In swamp
wastes.
Unless the irrigator can be induced
or compelled to retain all the waste
water on his land the well-drained
land will become an impoverished
waste. and the land into and upon
which this water flows will become
worthless alkai beds.
The excessive user OF water--and
bis name is legion should be saved
from self destruction; and his neigh
sor should be protected.

Why Salt /. Good.

Prof. w. A, Henry says: "A moder-
ate addition of salt to the fodder in.
creases the activity of the secretion
OF the body juices and their circula-
ton. and consequently increases the
protein consumption Of the body.
Salt has a stimulating influence on
the appetite of the animal, facilitates
the passage of albuminoids from the
digestive canal into the blood, and in
general increases the energy OF the
vital processes The feeding OF salt
ls therefore especially correct with
horses. young animals and dairy
cows when fed In their full capacity.

The amount Of salt use is ten
pounds to every one hundred pounds

also use two pounds Of granulated
sugar and two ounces Of saltpetre

SENATOR
NEWLANDS
ENDORSED.
Father of Irrigation is
Recognized

SALT LAKE, Utah, Oct. 4.-Ihe
international Irrigation Congress,
which closed its session yesterday
was the most successful in history.
Its deliberatOn was marked with
thoughtful and earnest consideration
Of all the important problems con
nected with the western reclamation
and DEVELOPMENT. as we'll as the pro-
lection by states of settlers from the
fake promoters methods OF en-
couraging home makers by the dis
semination of accurate information
relating to opportunities was favor
ed. The convention was unani-
mously opposed to any repudla"
ton Of contract which provides tor
the repayment OF money expended
by the government on irrigation
works.
The most prominent figure in the
Congress was Senator Francis q,
Newlands. president OF the Congress.
and who initiated the so-called New
lands bill which became a reclama-
ton act by the signature of Presi-
dent Roosevelt June II. 1912.
The congress in effect celebrated
not merely its twenty-frst birthday
but more than this. this occasion was
one for congratulation on the tenth
year since the passage Of the recla-
nation act.
This is the most notable achieve
mcnt claimed by Congress- and one
in which it takes particular pride
1t delights in honoring Senator
ing up the bill of such a compre-
hensive scope. that in ten years OF
its existence relatively few modifi
cations have been made and those
mainly in details which were insert
ed against his advice.
The success attained under the
reclamation act which has already
placed $4,000 families on farms, has
justified the irrigation congress in
husiasticaly endorsing still
larger and more comprehensive
measure which is now being urged
by Senator Newlands in the Con-
gress OF the United States on the
basis of success attained by the New
lands bill
