rs a whole: its relation TO the war;
ious b-divisions Of the farm and its
'e'ation 10 the farm buildings. Il
mtsi be kept in mind that upon the
fpnon'eal distribution Of water de
pcad- the character and amounts OF
~ crops produced Economical dis
i1bntion of water must be the rule
NJ On which the development Of the
farm Is 10 be based. With this in
view II y advisable 10 make, or have
made. u Typographical survey of the
entire rea to determine the location
OF the main laierals and distributor
ie,. This will control the location and
size Of ech field into which the farm
is divided, and win aid in the select
on of crops best adapted TO the sew
eral fields. The manner Of irrigatine
will also be determined by the kind of
crops, character Of soil, and slope OF
the land.
The plan of The irrigating system
should cover the entire area even
though i is not the intention to de-
volop the whole farm at once. The
ultimate result viii be a development
of uniform distribution system which
viii supply the water economically as
regards time required 10 irrigate ana
amoui of water used. If this plan is
not followed out one will have q
patched mp system which moi only
covers n large area of valuable space
ON which crops might be grown to
advantage but serves the land made
quateN.
The main farm lateral, or supply
ditch form the pumping plant should
he 80 located NJ to command the max
mum of land living below it, with
hradgates along its length 10 permit
tn taking ont of water to the var
ioG> subdivisions of III farm. This
lateral should be placed in soil which
holds water fairly well if possible
To do so or else some provision should
b. made. such a. pudding with imper-
vious material or by using cemen. lin
ings. Leaky bitches cause direct
waste of water and endanger nearby
soils because the condition means
waterlogged soil and improper aer-
alton,
The length of the main lateral
should he rs short as possible in order
to eliminate losses by seepage and
strnclion will also be less and the
evaporation. The first cost of con
will be reduced to a min
imum. After the typographical sur
yoy h. been completed il may be nee
essary to construct more than one
main lateral, owing TO divirging slopes
from the pumping plant. The 10
cation of all laterals can be readily
ccomplished by consulting the topo-
eiphical map, which should be made
before the well Is put down.
