PRESERVING SOIL MOISTURE
esrnicious Practice Of Permitting Wa.
ter 70 Escape From Soil Should
ee Discouraged.

The practice that prevails in some
irrigation localities Of letting the nat.
ural moisture escape from the soil,
with the idea that more water can be
applied when it is needed, is most per-
nicious and should be discouraged, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. II the moist
ure that gets into the ground in the
form Of precipitation or as irrigation
water is retained by the soil 1t will en-
able the soil organisms to act upon the
plant foods, rendering them available
for plant growth. There Is a feeling
Of safety in having an unlimited sup
ply of water for irrigation purposes,
hut It should be remembered that irri.
cation costs money and labor: precipi.
tation Is natures gift.
