to store to irrigate a given number Of
acres, it may be assumed in this con.
nection that go per cent OF the rain or
snow fall will be available for storage.
From this liberal allowance must be
made for evaporation and seepage, both
from the reservoirs and canals.
Evaporation will vary greatly accord.
to temperature and humidity. but an ap.
proximate figure may be taken as four
or five feet per year. For canals Of
moderate length the evaporation and
seepage together may be taken AZ about
% per cent OF the water entering the
canal head.
The actual amount of water necessary
10 be turned onto the land will vary &C.
cording to the nature OF crops and eli.
mate, but one cubic foot per second
usually will be sufficient for from 20 TO
100 acres.
Canal slopes aud sections must be
made to suit the conditions OF the soil
traversed.
The slope should be sufficient TO Gre
ate as great a velocity of the water as the
soil will permit without securing, in
order to make the section Of canal Is
small as possible aud prevent growth
Of vegetation.
The economical section Of canal in
earth would be the steepest side slopes
on which the earth would stand without
tending to slide back into the canal.
The cuts ordinarily should be just sui
dcient to form the required height of
levee. the height OF levee plus the depth
Of cut forming the required depth Of
canal.
In many places over the country ar
tesian wells have been successfully util.
lied for irrigation purposes.
Where a flowing we'll can be obtained
at reasonable depth. no method is better
Tor ~irrigsting a small tract.
Usually where q series OF wells are
sunk within the same zone the yield from
each we'll will be much less than from
n we'll flo wing alone.
This must be remembered in sinking
additional wells for an increased supply.
These wells usually are from four 10 six
inches in diameter and cased with a light
pipe casing.
Various types OF pumping plants are
used where the water rises near the sur.
face.
These pumps are operated by wind.
electricity. gasoline or steam. Where q
small quantity Of water only is required.

Where larger Quantities are desired.
some type of gasoline engine is used
most frequently.

Irrigation For The
Small Western Farmer
F. D. Nash In the Reno Gazette Gives Intending Nevada
Settlers the Following Information

This article is written for the infor-
nation of intending settlers who are
unfamiliar with irrigation methods. and
technical terms have been purposely
eliminated.
AS is well known to most ranchers
Of the arid west. about all of the small
stream or natural springs where little
expense or difficulty was needed to di-
vert them into ~irrigable lands have long
since been utilized.
Within recent years the greater part
Of the larger feasible irrigation schemes
have been taken up by the U. s. Rec
lamation Service or by companies of
considerable financial resources.
There still remains an opportunity,
however, for the small rancher seeking
water for the homestead in the arid
region.
For the most part these opportunities
lie in building small ~impounding reser.
voirs or in obtaining water from under
BAouAu soutOoss SUM os hOVine "0AA7
or by pumping.
There are many places throughout
the arid region where u Of these
methods may be utilized to supply suf-
icent water at moderate cost for nice
little homesteads.
In order that i~mpounding reservoirs
be feasible. there must exist the follow.
ing natural conditions.
A sufficient catchment area to fill
the reservoir annually, the mouth of
the depression in which the reservoir is
located sufficiently narrow so that the
dam will not be too long and the site
fat enough 30 that the dam will not
be excessively high. the surrounding
soil of a compact nature to prevent un.
due seepage and the lands to be irri-
gated within a reasonable distance OF
the reservoir.
Dams may be built of earth, timber,
stone or concrete aud the choice Of ma.
terial will depend entirely on local con.
ditious. Earthen dams, where prac.
ticable are TO be preferred ON account OF
first cost, and usually can be built by
the rancher with his own forces. and
when properly constructed are perma-
nent structures. A sluiceway should
be built through the dam to enable q
portion of the sediment above being
secured out.
In earthern dams IN ample spillway
must be provided around the ends OF
the structure, as no earthen embank.
ment unprotected will stand water
flowing over it.
In some instances where streams com
ing from the hills have a good under
flow. cutoff walls OF masonry or timber
may be extended across the channel &c
bedrock and the flow be brought to the
surface, where the bed of the stream pre-.
viousIy was perfectly dry.
In calculating the quantity necessary

oline engine. For depths greater than
this, a pit should be dug large enough to
admit Of installing the pump down near
the water surface. With properly DE-.
signed pumping plant, seven gallons Of
gasoline should be sufficient to raise tao
acre-feet out Of q we'll 25 feet deep in .
day Of ii hours. II distillate is used in.
stead Of gasoline, a material saving in OBJ
Grating expenses will be made.
All permits for appropriating waters
within a State must be obtained from the
State Engineer ard the quantity used
and method employed are subject to his
approval.
