EFFICIENCY IN IRRIGATION

At Ankers Brothers plant in the
rear OF the Lyon County Court House.
a force Of men is busily at work man
featuring cement pipes and concrete
headgates. which are being offered for
sale to the ranchers of the valley.
The headgates can be used either with
an open ditch or concrete pipeline
and are said to be no more expensive
than the best wooden headgates, over
which they have many advantages.
Mr. Ankers has a number of PAM
phlets by G. F. P. Smith, professor OF
Irrigation Engineering Of the Univer-
sity of Arizona on Efficiency of r.
rigation' These booklets contain
much that is of interest to the farmer
and the following initial chapters are
herewith produced:
The great advantage Of the use Of
cement pipe for irrigation conduits
lies in the fact that the seepage and
evaporation losses from open bitches
are prevented These losses are APP
paling. Dir. Samuel Forticr, chief of
irrigation Investigations, United States
Department of Agriculture, states that
large percentage of water. estiinat-
ed at 40 per cent OF the amount taken
in at the heads OF the main canals, is
lost by absorption and percolation
along the routes. For small canals
these losses are often over 5 per cent
per mile in adobe soil and Is to 20
per cent in porous soil In Southern
California there are extensive distribu-
| ton systems that are piped through
out so that the loss Of water in dis
trfoution is practically nothing. AS a
result Of this and other economies the
| duty of water is nearly nine acres per
miners inch OF flow. The average
duty OF water can be increased greatly
/ by the use of cement pipe for small
bitches and concrete Innings for larger
| bitches and canals.

SCENERY MARRIED BY SIGNS

Everywhere the motorlst travels the

by glaring signs, not only small

twenty or more feet in height.
Just at a bend in the road where
the tourist expects to have fine

scene is completely cut off by mon
strous and offensive structure covered
with a tlaring advertisement.

the development Of motoring, They
have boarded up the roadways along
the whole eastern part of the United

Writer Wakes Sarcastic.

The trustees Of the city Of Roseville,
Calf, have clearly no eye for art. At
first, 1t may seem as if they were justi-
fed in refusing permission to a certain
advertising firm to erect billboards
within the city limits. But then these
were no ordinary billboards-at least,
so the advertising firm declared. They
were in fact, beautiful panels, real
works of art" Yet the city Trustees
refused Worse and worse, the women
Of Placer county, In which Roseville Is
situated, have banded themselves to-
gether to prevent the erection of any
more billboards In Placer county,
whether in the form Of beautiful
panels" or otherwise. 1t seems strange,
but then some people are VIGOROUSLY
blind to their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
