DRAINAGE NEEDED FOR
 IRRIGATED LANDS
Government Publication Emphasizes The Value of Proper Drainage Systems In Arid Regions
 in the United States

Washington, D. C. March 25.-More
 than 10 per cent of the irrigated
 lands in the United States which have had water for any considerable period
 of time are now either absolutely un- productive or given over to poor pas lures and unprofitable crops, accord ing to the United States Department
 of Agriculture. Waterlogging and
 the accumulation of harmful mineral
 salts are responsible. Even in some
 of the most recent irrigation projects
 serious injury from these causes has
 been wrought.
 Methods of retaining land which
 has fallen into this condition forms
 the subject of new bulletin of the Department (No. 190), "The Drainage Of Irrigated Land". Drainage sup
 plemented by proper methods of culti-
 vation, cropping and irrigation, will restore these waterlogged areas to a
 condition in which they can be farmed
 with profit, the bulletin points out.
 Proper drainage will accomplish four objects CD the lowering of the ground-water table to depth where the moisture and air within the root
 zone will be properly balanced; (2) the creation of an outlet for percolat- | ing water, so that the ground-water table will not fluctuate excessively; (3) the rapid removal of excess mois-
 ture following spring thaws; and t4) the creation of an outlet for the down.
 ward moving water used to dissolve
 out the injurious salts.
 Incrustations of alkali salts and the
 presence of highly alkali-resistant plants are frequently indications of toverirrigation In some cases ponds,
 bogs, and marshes are also found, but in others there are no visible signs of excessive wetness and it's existence can
 only be inferred from it's effects upon lvegetation. The bulletin calls special
 attention to the difference in drainage practice between the arid and the humid regions, and emphasizes the need for
 thorough knowledge of underground conditions.
 To drain areas of this character will cost it is estimated, on the aver age farm from $10 to $20 an acre except under unusual conditions when the cost may run as high as $50 an Iacre. Both open canals and covered

ment or clay tile. In some localities lumber box drains are used, but this is usually advantageous only in iso- lated places where lumber is cheap and transportation rates high. The life of such a drain is reasonably long if the lumber is continually wet, but if alternate wetting and drying takes place, the material may last only a few years.
 In properly drained land bacterial activity is increased and more plant food provided by the admission of air into the soil to take the place of the excess water which has been removed. The downward movement of water through the soil also teaches out the

conduits are in general use. The open
 canals, however, are intended primari- ly for the main outlet systems in
 which provision must be made for a considerable flow of water. The cov- cred drains are for farm drainage pro- per, although, except for the addi- tional expense, they could be used equ ally well for the main outlets. As a matter of fact, although they cost more than the open canals, the main tenance charges are usually lower, much valuable space is saved, and cul- tivation and irrigation are much easi- CT with them than with open canals. Where covered conduits are employed they are usually made either of ce-

excess of harmful salts, and this is one of the most important functions of drainage in the irrigated sections. The water removed by the drainage system may be employed for the irri- gation of other areas, thereby increas- ing the available irrigated area. Fur thermore, drained land may be plowed earlier than undrained, and in con- sequence may be irrigated earlier. This is an obvious advantage in that it makes it possible for the land to be irrigated before the supply of water becomes reduced. Various forms of drainage systems and the best meth ods of constructing them are discuss ed in the bulletin.

A Terrible Misfortune

"They are shifting consuls on the merit system" said Jerome S. Me Wade, the Dutch collector. Here's "a man in Shanghai at $4,5OO getting shifted to Barcelona at S3,OOO. An other consul with job at $4,00O is shifted on the merit system to Plume at $3,000. A few more such shifts and where will the poor fellow land?
 Shifting consuls on the merit sys- tem'-that's good way to express it. 1t reminds me of Bilson.
 Have you heard of the terrible misfortune that has befallen Bones ?" Bilson said to me.
