Concrete for Canals

THE LINING of irrigation canals
= with concrete in order to pre-
vent losses in the transmission
Of water is discussed at some length
in forthcoming bulletin of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture (No. 126) entitled, "Con-
crete Lining as Applied to Irrigation
Canals" The census of 1910 shows
that there were more than 10000
miles Of unlined irrigation canals in
the West. Forty per cent Of the wa
ter that passes through this, the
author estimates, is lost, or, If allow
ance be made for that which Is later
recovered by lower conduits the loss
is still more than rs per cent. So
much Of this loss could be obviated
by the use of concrete that in many
places the value of the water will
more than offset the increased cost
of construction.
Big Saving.
On the larger irrigation systems
now in course Of construction, water
rights are being sold for from $25
to $50 an acre. In addition to the
value of the water saved by con-
crete lining, the reduction in charges
for operation and maintenance must
also be taken into consideration;
and also the insurance that such con-
struction affords against damage to
the crops by a sudden failure on
the part of the water supply. AS an
instance of the importance of the
latter the author mentions a break
on a canal in California which
caused thousand feet of the main
canal on a steep sidehill to be
washed out. 1t was six weeks before
the canal could be repaired and al
though the actual cost Of the work
was only 100000 the loss to the
crops from lack Of water was esti-
mated at a million dollars.
The bulletin presents in sum-
married. form some results Of seep-
age measurements, and discusses
methods and costs Of concrete lining
as applied to irrigation channels. 1t
is professional paper and Of value
to engineers and others engaged in
irrigation work and is not intended
for general distribution.

Advice for Poultry Shippers

absolute necessity. If the packers
last season had adhered to this one
regulation, 1t is safe to assert that
the inspectors in the markets would
have had to hunt long time for a
"green-struck" or "off conditioned"
chicken. Putting the birds in cold
water, or water and ice to cool them
is unredeemably bad, and packing in
fine ice with heavy lump of ice on
top of the barrel is a continuation of
an unreliable and often very dis
astrous method.
Packing.
Sixth: Pack the chilled birds in
standard boxes-12 to the box-or
in small kegs if they are not to be
hard frozen, and see that each bird
in the package is an exact match in
quality, size, color and perfection of
dressing for every other bird. This
is the height Of the art of grading"
Shipping.
Seventh: Have the refrigerator
car in which the dry picked, dry
packed poultry is to be shipped iced
with a mixture of broken ice and 10
to Is per cent of salt for "a hours
before loading. When loaded, the
temperature of the car midway be-
tween the doors, four feet from the
floor, must not exceed 35 degrees F.
To ensure the best Of handling dur
ing transportation, dressed poultry
should be shipped in car lots. If you
cannot get the minimum quantity for
car lot yourself, get together with
other nearby shippers and make up
a joint car. You may have to bury
some hatchets, but that it better than
having your bank account showed
under. Get together!
Get Together.
Remember that every bad chicken
sold hinders or prevents the sale of
a number of good chickens. The
housewife remembers only that her
family did not like her choice of
food. Generally, she does not know
whether the bird was dry picked or
scalded, dry packed or iced. What
she wants is fine favored product.
Your product may be good, but If
your neighbor's is bad yours will also

ding of dressed poultry, will be sent

Lessons on Corn
r. OR the benefit Of children in

r OR the benefit Of children in
rural schools suggestions for
series of lessons on corn are
about to be issued by the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture. The aver
age production per acre Of corn in
the United States is still below %
bushels per acre despite the fact
that in almost every section Of the
country yields Of more than 100
bushels have been obtained. The diff
ference indicates in a measure the
value of proper instruction in grow
ing corn. The spread Of boys corn
clubs all over the country has also
emphasized the need of corn study in
rural schools.
The forthcoming bulletin contains
outlines Of IL lessons covering such
important points as the different
kinds Of corn, ways Of judging corn,
seed, corn crop rotation, best kind
of fertilizers, proper cultivation and
the food value Of the crop. Sugges-
tions for the proper observance Of
corn day have received consideration.
Rural school teachers, especially in
the great corn-growing states, will
find the bulletin valuable aid in
the work Of stimulating in their
charges healthy interest in sound
agriculture.

and copies will be sent free as long
