SIMPLE IRRIGATION RULES
FOR USE Of VALLEY PEOPLE

Well moistened soil at planting time
permits better root development and
delays the time of the first irriga-
ton, and thus saves irrigation water
during the summer If rains do not
moisten soils sufficiently for plant
ing, irrigate in fall, or in early spring,
before planting.
6. Don't Irrigate Too Early-By
postponing as long as possible the
first irrigation after planting, bet
ter root development . secured and
less irrigation water is needed to
produce the crop.
T. Irrigate by the Correct Method
Where water is plentiful, the flood
ing method may be used where wa
ter is scarce, the furroW method only
should be employed. Lead the waste
water from the burrows to other
fields.
8. Irrigate at the Proper Time
Withhold water until the crop is in
real need. When irrigating. apply
enough water to supply the crop for
at least ten days. Irrigate thorough
", when potatoes are in bloom; corn
in tassel or silk; lucern just begin
ming to bud, and grains forming seed.
9. Use Water in Moderation-The
acre yield of a crop increases as
mole water is used. up to certain
limit, beyond which more water
causes a decrease in the yield.
10. Spread the Water over Larger
Areas-The yield of crop per unit of
water always becomes smaller as
more water is added The less water
is used for irrigation, the more crop
is obtained for the water used. Where
land is plentiful and water scarce it
is more important to get a large
crop for each acre-foot of water than
for each acre of land.
II. Kill the Weeds-Weeds use as
much water as do many profitable
crops. 1t costs usually 1000 pounds
of water to produce one pound of
weeds Killing the weeds will leave
more water for our crops.
r. Repair the Leaky Ditches-Tre-
mendous quantities of water seep
from most of our canals and bitches.
Stop the leaky places! 1t will often
pay 10 cement the WIOlc CdHdi.
10. Measure the Nater-Land is
measured carefully. but water, more
valuable than land, is seldom mea-
sured. Great progress can be made
by farmers by measuring and keep
ing an account of the water used on
the land
IA. Farmers are advised to study
these rules, for irrigation water IN
many cases is being used wastefully.
The irrigated area may be greatly
increased by the economical use of
the same quantity of water now be-
ing used for irrigation.
Over Irrigation is Menace Because
l. Smaller yields of crops are OBJ
tanned for each unit of water used.
2. More plant food is taken up by
the plant for each pound of crop,
3. The quality of the crops is great
ly reduced.
4. Straw is produced at the expense
of grain.
5. Plant food is washed out of the
soil
6. Lower lying lands become water
logged.
7. Other dry lands are cheated OF
irrigation water.
8. The extension of the irrigated
areas are hindered.
g. A wholesome community spirit
is lowered wherever water is waste
fully used.

Irrigation rules simplified are be-
offices in manner not to be over
looked by any farmer who chances
TO make a visit to headquarters.
Printed on three sheet" poster size
paper by the Utah Water Users as
sociation, these suggestions form a
compendium of good economical irri-
cation farming.
For the benefit of the many rural
1ect manager has had the rules
Transcribed. They read:
Irrigation Rules
l. Store the Rainfall in the Soil
Deep, thorough blowing enables the
soil to absorb and retain most of the
rain water The more rainfall is
stored in the soil the less irrigation
water will be needed.
.. Use the Spring and Fall Water
Where the winters are dry, fall irri-
cation or early spring irrigation will
reduce the irrigation water needed
during the growing season.
3 Cultivate Frequently and Thor
oughly-Water is easily lost from the
soils by evaporation. Stirring the
top soil reduces this evaporation. The
soil should be thoroughly cultivated
early in the spring, as soon as posi-
BILE after irrigation, and usually once
or more between irrigations. Thor
ough cultivation will reduce the wa
ter needed in irrigation.
4. Keep the Soil Fertile-The more
fertile a soil is, the less water is
needed to produce a pound or ton of
the crop. Pillow deeply, cultivate
thoroughly, use barnyard manure,
and less irrigation water will be
needed.

bill, the show will be one extremely
hard to beat Burke and Burke will
offer an entirely new line of songs,
