REDUCE IRRIGATION TO
AN EXACT SCIENCE
State and Government Directing
Important Experiments to De-
termine the Duty OF. Water

"While in Grandview Tuesday night
was keenly interested by an address
of Professor G. c.. Thorn of the state
college. before the GramdView Com
mercial club said \. w. Durham of
Spokane. Mr.. Durham, who is a re-
publican candidate for congress from
eastern Washington, is here to see the
Blossom Festival.
Professor Thorn explained in de-
tail the important irrigation expert
ments which are now in progress at
GrandvieW, Wenatchee and Oppor-
tunity in the Spokane valley. The pur-
pose is to reduce irrigation to an exact
science, so that the trained irrigation
list may have scientific knowledge re-
garding the quantity of water that will
give the best results with different
crops.
1T has been determined, for ex-
ample, that wheat cannot be success
fully grown by dry farming, whore
the natural precipitation falls below
ten inches. That is the deadline, as
shown by tests which have determined
the number of pounds of water needed

For some time the scientists were
puzzled by the apparent contradiction
that while barley requires less water
than wheat, yet wheat will thrive in a
semi-arid region than cannot grow

important tests are now being
made to ascertain the length of furroW

evident that in long furrow the

More important still, in some sec
