IRRIGATION OF STRAWBERRIES
Where There Is Sufficient Slope to
Land Rows Should Be Kept
Down to Get Water.

A subscriber asks if strawberries
which are to be irrigated by furrow
irrigation should be planted on raised
ridges. and water applied between the
rows.
We have seen strawberry rows
planted in this way, but we believe it
is much better to try to keep soil
level, for the plants will work them
selves up on to rows anyway as they
become older, says the Fruit Grow
er. On land which is nearly level,
so that water has scarcely any fall. it
might be we'll to ridge the rows. if
there is danger of the water getting
up on the berries, but if there is suf-
ficient slope to permit the water flow
ing freely, we would much prefer
keeping the rows down If there is
too much slope to the ground then Of
course the rows should be planted
with the contour of the hill. On some
OF the hillsides in the irrigated dis.
tricts of the west, strawberry rows
are as crooked as can be, but thev fol.
low the contour and irrigation is much
more effective

REGISTER, URGES LING.

Register! Don't put it off until the
last moment. This year Arizona will
have her first opportunity to cast a
vote on national issues. 1t behooves
every loyal citizen of the state, re-
gardless of his politics, to see that
he votes at the coming election. If
you have no politics take enough
pride in the great state of Arizona
to go to the polls and register your
vote on the issues of the day.
Don't be dead one, and fail to
register. The registration books
close twenty days before election,
and election is only six weeks hence.
No matter what you are, for the
pride and. honor of Arizona go to
the polls and vote for your prefer
ance, and in order to vote on No
vember 9Th, you will have to register.
The above is the gist of a state
ment from Reese M. Ling, demo
cratic National Committeeman from
this state. He says that everyone
who intends to call Arizona his home
or does call it so, should come out
and vote Mr.. Ling hopes and urges
that they vote for Wilson, Marshall
and Hayden, but, being broad mind
ed and patriotic, he urges all to vote,
regardless of choice.

!KRIGATE TO INCREASE YIELD
Many Sections of Country Where
Method Could Be Profitabty
Used by Farmers.

In the eastern part of the great
plains, where the rainfall is not large,
but ordinarily sufficient to mature
crops, there are many localities where
irrigation could be practically used to
raise the yield of field crops or to pro-
mote the growth of trees, vegetables,
fruits and ornamental plants in or
chards and gardens and about the
homestead AS the farmers in this re-
giOn accumulate capital they will un-
doubtedly resort more and more to ir-
rigatiOn as means of increasing their
income, securing more of the comforts
of life and making their home sur
roundings more attractive.
The same thing is true of the Pacific
coast In the Willamette valley in
Oregon, for example, while the annual
rainfall is abundant, there is a long
dry period in the summer. Many
crops which would grow best at this
season are greatly hindered by
drought The agricultural experiment
station at Corvallis has been studying
Ibis problem in cooperation with the
department. of agriculture and has al
ready demonstrated the usefulness Of
irrigation for alfalfa, clover, potatoes,
and other crops. Business men in
Portland, Ore, have become so well
convinced that irrigation in western
Oregon is profitable, that they are now
developing a large irrigation project
near Salem. Vast areas in the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys in Cali
fornia were for many years farmed
without irrigation. But after long hes
itation and much active opposition the
great wheat farmers adopted irrigation
as profitable insurance against
drought and, once convinced of it's
benefit, spent millions of dollars in de-
veloping and managing irrigation sys-
TENS
Their experience will doubtless be
repeated in many regions in the Unit
ed States as increasing population
and more complete utilization Of our
agricultural lands raise the price Of
land and extend the market for high
priced crops until the cost of install
ling and running irrigation plants will
be amply repaid by the increased
yields per acre which irrigation is sure
to bring. In response to considerable
present demand for information along
this line, and in preparation for the
great future of irrigation in the humid
region, the irrigation service of the Of
flee of experiment stations of the de-
partment of agriculture is making a
broad study of the irrigation require
ments and possibilities of different re-
g!ons and is seeking to discover the
most economical and effective meth
DDS for the utilization of available wa
ter supplies for this purpose
large share OF the future agricul
tural property of the United States
will depend on the reclamation and
thorough utilization of land through
drainage and irrigation. Development
in both these lines should go hand in
hand
