be in the line OF breeding feeding,
care and management OF these two
representatives of the live stock in

important industries of the valley and
especially of this section and 1t Is
thot that there are many problems
that may be bothering the farmers
that might be Strengthened out at

better man In the state than the col

LINING IRRIGATION bitches
by. r. l.. PARSHALL
Irrigation Engineer C. $. u. s.

The lining of irrigation canals is
one primarily of an economic con-
Isideration, In California. because of
the scarcity of water and the high
valued crops produced. 1t is becom-
ing necessary in many Gections to
line the irrigation canals with con-
crete or other suitable material. The
high cost of the water is primarily
the reason of special work necessa"y ~
to preserve the flow.
In Colorado the water supply. in
most cases. is adequate to meet the
demands for ordinary field crops, and
in only special cases. where the canal
passes through porous material,
has much attention been paid to the
lining of the channels. In all proba-
bility as time goes on, there will be 2
demand for the lining of canals from
the standpoint of conserving more
or less limited water supply in places
where special crops are produced.
At the present time the most practical
means of preventing leakage is in the
use of concrete. which is placed in
thin layers on the bottom and sides of
the canal. Due to the smooth sur
face produced. the sectional area of
the waterway can be greatly reduc-
ed because of the increased velocity

Fish In Lakes
Fully Protected
Commercial Fishing Is Prohib..
tied and Big Supply of Game
Fish Has Been Put in Each
Lake

There will be some good fishing in
each Lake Meredith and Lake Henry
hereafter for these lakes have been
re-stocked with fish and no CONNER
cial fishing privileges are now in
effect or will be granted. At a
meeting of the directors of The Lake
Meredith Reservoir Co. last Saturday
it was voted that any, lease privil-
eges now in effect would be termin-
ated and no new contracts would be
made. This was the final action
taken by the board according to an
agreement made with the Crowley
County Fishing and Boating associa-
tion about two years ago. This as
sociation was organized for the pur-
pose OF getting the lakes stocked with
good fish and more than a year ago
big supply of ringneck perch and
bass were placed in Lake Henry
From that time the National Sugar
Manufacturing Co. refraincd from
granting commercial fishing con
tracts. Recently 10000 good sized
fish were placed in Lake Meredith
and as the directors had promised
the fishing association that when
Meredith was stocked commercial
fishing contracts would not be fur
ther granted, the action of the board
of directors last Saturday puts the
climax to the efforts of those interes-
ted in having good fishing for all the
people.
1t should be understood that the
Crowley County f. and B. associa-
tion members have no more privileges
than anyone else on these lakes. The
associations object is to protect fish
ing for all the people. and now that
there is to be no more seigning or
trapping in the lakes the game fish
there will multiply faster than will
likely be taken out by hook and line,
the only way fishing is to be permit
ted. The karp in the lakes will not
be detriment as the game Ash will

source of food supply. Karp will be
apt to get some of the spawn of other
fish but it is contended that they cor
not prevent . fast increase in the
game fish. Karp, with sucker
mouth, cannot feed on other fish.
Meredith fishing will be good next
spring for catfish and after next June
there will be some good game fishing
and from then on each year the game
fish will be larger and creator in
numbers. The 10000 fish placed in
Meredith recently will spawn next
June, and more fish are to be placed
in the lakes by the State Fish and
Game department. The local associ-
atior now has an application on file
with the department with a promise
that it will be filled before long.
The outlets to each of the lakes
are to be screened to prevent fish
from getting into the outlet canals,
