WATER REQUIREMENTS FOR WHEAT

The Utah Agricultural College had an exhibit at
the Dry Farm Congress which attracted much at
tention and related to the water requirements of
wheat feature which made people stop and ponder
was bottle holding about ten gallons of water and
alongside of it small phial filled with wheat. A
placard beneath them bore the following:
1t requires 750 pounds of water to produce one
pound of dry matter
bushel of wheat weighs 60 pounds and $50
times 60 is 600 pounds the amount of water neces
sary to produce the kernels of bushel of wheat 1t
requires the same amount to produce the straw, or
10000 pounds (45 tons) to produce the kernels and
straw for bushe of wheat.
An acre inch of water (water one inch deep COW
ering an acre) weighs 113 tons and will produce 22
bushels of wheat. Ten acre inches will produce rs
bushels fifteen inches 37a bushels and 20 inches 30
bushels.
The Nebraska exhibit showed that it required as
much water to grow a Russian thistle as to produce
an ear of corn bundle of wheat. Another illus
tration from Utah was represented by two jars of
wheat One jar was full and represented the yield
in Utah for land in wheat one year and fallow the
next covering period of ten years. The other jar,
not quite full, represented the wheat produced on
land every year OF the ten.
These illustrations were backed up by those
made by the government, and argue strongly for
clean summer fallow.
If one inch of water, with right tillage, will pro-
duce 21b bushels of wheat it is possible to greatly
increase our average yields by doing little better
farming.

PRIZE WINNING WHEAT
EXHIBIT ATTRACTS ATTENTION
Many Farmers Critically View the Dis
play at the First National Bank.

A window display of the prize win
ming wheats at the Dry Farm Congress
on exhibition at the First National
bank, is attracting the critical ex-
animation of farmers. 1t includes the
sweepstakes winner, Marquis, grown
by Seager Wheeler, wheat breeder
M kof International fame, of Rosthern,
Saskatchewan, and also sample of
Red Fife from the same province.
The first prize Turkey Red. from
Texas, is shown alongside the second
prize wheat of Dan Lindauer, together
with the Colorado prize winner, and
the wheat of that variety grown by
Albert Bethke and William Mcknight.
A sample of F. R. Meadows Turkey
Red, which looks like 1t belonged to
the prize winning class, is also shown.
There is also sample of Turkey Red
grown In Colorado. which was extern
sively advertised at the congress as
choice seed wheat, which will not be-
gin to compare In quality with the
average Turkey Red that is daily re-
ceived at the elevators In American
Falls.
The prizewinning spring Bluestem
entered in competition with all soft
wheat, and the second prize grown
by william Mcknight, are included In
the exhibit. Two choice samples of
Australian wheat are also shown.
A sample that attracts as much at
tention as any of them, is included
for the purpose of showing what good
| wheat is not like. 1t was exhibited
by county from one Of the great
states, as first class product, but
it is doubtful II wheat as poor In
quality, as badly mixed or discolored
has ever been shown at any county
fair in Idaho. 1t is an object lesson OF
what to avoid.
The gallon jar of water and the
less than teaspoonful Of grain which
1t will produce is an object lesson In
summer following which should no,
be lost on wheat growers.

VOLUME XIV.
AN OBJECT LESSON
IN BETTER FARMING
G. w. Torrance Makes Discovery That
Many Farmers May Turn to Bene.
ficial AccOunt-DOn't Waste Manure
On Bad Roads.

Drive anywhere through the dry
farm districts near American Falls
and you will discover that manure has
been used to fix bad places in the
roads, to fill gulches, cover rocky
places, or fix sandy stretches. 1t
has been accepted as fact that
manure will burn up crops on dry
farmed land. This may have happen
ed, but If so 1t was because the
manure was not rightly applied.
When State Leader Of County Agents
H. w. Hochbaum, made his first trip
through this county, he commented
on the waste of fertilizer on the roads,
and stated that if spread thinly and
disked in, that 1t would be very bene-
ficial to the soil.
Last spring G. w. Torrance had a
few loads of manure which he did not
know what to do with, so he hauled
1t out on his field and scattered it
thinly on long and narrow strip
After blowing 1t under he planted po-
tatoes and corn across this strip.
When he dug his potatoes recently he
was surprised to fine that the yield
was twice as great on the manured
strip as on the land not manured. The
corn on this strip was a foot higher
and more vigorous in every way than
the rest of the corn, planted at the
same time and treated In the sam.
way.
The Nebraska experiment station,
has recently issued bulletin cover
ing extended experiments, which shows
that it actually takes less water to
mature crops on manured land than on
land that has not been manured. The
results of their experiments are:
On infertile soil the water required
to produce one pound of dry matter
on manured land than ON unmanuret
land in the same plot.
On intermediate soil the difference
was 24.6 per cent.
On fertile soil the difference was {
per cent.
Counting our soil as intermediate
this demonstration indicates that 4
1t is manured we can grow the sam,
number of bushels per acre with fit
teen inches of precipitation as can b,
grown on unmanured land with TWEEN
ty inches. In other words, manurini
will make up the difference in mois
ture between dry year and an aver
age year.

Finy.rive Miles Of Fine Road.

For fifty-five miles in as straight
line as any western road can be
built. the county highway which
runs past Thatcher and Delhi to the
county line OF Otero county, has been
completed and put in the very best
possible condition. Among the dirt
roads of the west 1t stands by itself,
according to men who have made
the trip since the contractors com
pleted their work ten days ago, and
there is not curve or bend which
is not reinforced nor crossing which
is not covered by a good bridge.
This road is due to be one of the
drawing cards of Las Animas coun-
ty, according TO those who have
seen 1t. For thirty-five miles be
tween Trinidad and Thatcher every
place where bridge is needed there
Is a concrete structure. For the re
mainder OF the way there are wood
en- and concrete bridges which can
not be beat in any par, OF the state
Just out OF Thatcher there is n
GO foot span OF steel across the riy-
er and at Delhi there is 20 foot
steel bridge This makes the road
the very best in the entire southern
Colorado country. and the tourists
who are passing back and forth
along the highway these days on
their way home from eastern or west
ern trips pronounce II one of the fin
est stretches they have encountered
any place.
The plan is to cover the road with
cinders when the county is in a posi-
tion to do II and then IL will be taken
out OF the class OF dirt roadbeds.
But right at the present time with a
width OF from twenty to twenty-four
feet for the entire iifty-five mile
stretch and without single bad
place on the line. IT is hard to imag-
inc anything prettier.
While the road is marked with
Santa Fe trail posts all the way. these
are not necessary as II would be i'm
possible to miss the way The Las
Animns county commissioners are
now going to do their utmost to in
duce the Otero county officials to
make an inspection trip over the To-
cal road and try to show them that II
is now up to them to do the same
thing through Otero county.
Las Animas county has done no
little work on this stretch OF road and
the results are very apparent. The
contractors have done their work up
in very good shape and the county
may now boas, OF a wonderful addi-
'ion to its already long list OF unusu-
ally good highways.
