WATER REQUIRED FOR CROPS
Efficiency Of Conservation and Actual
Moisture Requirements Of Plants
Vary Very Much.

(By ID. w. FREAR. Colorado A%gricultur-
al College.)
Various investigators have found
that 1t requires from about 400 to 1000
pounds OF water to produce u pound
OF dry matter of q farm crop. The
water requirement increases with a
'igher temperature. a great amount OF
sunshine and a dryer atmosphere. In
tho arid regions a moderately high
temperature. a cloudless sky and q dry
atmosphere prevail. Consequently the
water requirements Of plants naturally
tend to be higher for the same kinds
$50 pounds of water are required In
the arid regions for the production Of
one pound of dry matter 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 30 per cent Of
this or los pounds is dry matter.
Therefore. 1t will require $50 times los
or 81. 900 pounds OF water to mature
one bushel of wheat. This is equal %
40h tons Of water.
One inch of rainfall per acre weighs
approximately 11S n 1t is esti-
mated that under good tillage methods,
about two-ffths of the total rainfall
10 available to the crop. therefore,
about 45.2 tons Of every acre inch Of
rainfall are used by the plants, and
one inch of rainfall can produce about
IN bushels Of wheat Under these con-
ditions, ten inches OF rainfall would
produce 11A bushels. Is inches II
bushels. Where two years precipita-
ton is stored In the soil it will be
possible to produce about ~ bushels

SHE QUIT COFFEE
And Much Good Came From It.

1t is hard to believe that coffee will
put a person in such a condition as it
did a woman of Apple Creek, o. She

Il did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said i liked
II SO well l would not quit drinking 1t.
even II 1t took my life, but l was q
miserable sufferer from heart trouble
and nervous prostration for four years.
i was scarcely able to go around at
all. Had no energy, and did not care
LOT anything. Was emaciated and had
a constant pain around my heart until
l thought l could not endure it. !
1eit as though l was liable to die any
time.
frequently I had chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away. and any little noise would up
set me terribly. l was gradually get
ting worse until finally one day, 1t
came over me, and l asked myself
what Is the use of being sick all the
time n buying medicine so that !
can indulge myself in coffee?
> l thought l would see if / could
quit drinking coffee, and got some
fostum to help me quit. 1 made it
strictly according to directions. and
1 want to tell you that change was the
greatest step in my life. 1t was easy
10 quit coffee because l had the
rostum which l like better than !
liked the old coffee. One by one the
OLD troubles left, until now l am in
splendid health. nerves steady, heart
al rignt' and the pain all gone. Never
nave any more nervous chills. don't
.ake any medicine, can do all my

deal besides.

TO sell her household furniture, her

About the tenth Of April is usually
the safest time to SOW at attitudes
or a mile or so. Use twenty
pounds of ordinary alfalfa seed to
the acre aud If a nurse crop is de-
sired sixty pounds Of beardless bar
ley can b. put in, but the modern
practice Is TO sew the alfalfa straight
and forget the grain. The seed may
be sown either by hand or by wheel
barrow sower. Now put on the har-
row again and go over 1t until all the
seeds are nicely covered up and then
go over With the corrugating roller
the same way on the grade that the
water is TO run so that the field may
be sub-iriigated. II a corrugator Is
not at hand a homemade marker will
answer quite as we'll. Take three
pieces Of 2x6 five feet long. Dress
the front lower corners like a sled
n bolt on each an old cultivator
blade. Place them eighteen inches
apart and spike boards across the
top to hold them together, making a
platform to stand upon. Use a 2x6 for
a tongue. With this and, a gentle
team the rows can be marked suffi-
GENTLY straight.
Two very important things are to
be guarded against. The first is the
wind and the second is the sun.
When the tender plants are just out
OF the ground you may 60 out in the
morning and find a good stand n 20
in the evening and not find a
single shoot. The dry suface and the
sun have killed them and the wind
has blown them away. Alfalfa is a
slow grower for the first ten DAYS.
After that it is a prize winner for
growth. but of course a good deal de-
ponds upon the season as to the
warmth of the ground and the mois.
ture of the soil. AS a rule We do not
have to irrigate the alfalfa up in thi,
country nor do WI like to do 80. but
1t is necessary the c%orrugations are

Irrigation Satisfactory

We are using an overhead irrigation
system in a small way and find il verv
satisfactory. 1t consists in the use of
a one-inch water pipe. About every
four feet there is a tap and from this
little tap the water is SEN out by a
very fine spray. says a writer in an
exchange. After the water has been
turned on for probably half an hour
the earth is almost muddy, but not in.
clined to bake. for water does not pet
down In any great quantity at once.
1t comes down gradually. l think it is
