q third portion moves slowly thru the

Evaporation is not q serious factor in
the excessive use of water, but trans

tfollcd and reduced to l minimum.
I WEcLevcr irrigation is excessive. a
needless amount OF water Is transpired

quantity OF water lost by seepaBc thru

SOIL AND WATER
Water is held as film around the
scl particles and fills the small inter-
sticco OF the soil mlsa. Water, ap-
piled to tho soil in irrigation. first
vets the upper particles. then. slowly.
as the film thIckcns around these par
uclcs, tho lower particles are wcttcd.
and there is a gradual descent OF water
frmn the surface into the lower layers
OF soil. The moistor the soil, the more
rapid iS this descent. Very dry soil
does not permit the easy passage of
water. This may be Illustrated by the
common experience OF driving, on =
dusty road after rain. thru a pile,
apparently OF mud, which proves to
be dry dust inside.
The quantity OF water that may DO

factoro not to be discussed here. How
over inch OF water applied to = loamy
soil is equivalent to an increase OF Q
per cent OF water to the depth of foot
OF soil. II. then. inches OF water arc
applied feet of soil will be moistcncd
to amount OF - per cent, or approxi-
mately all that soil will hold without
allowing water to descend very rapid

warriors as they crowded up to
kill and mutilate some of the
fallen. The last man of the
soldiers whom he saw to recog-
nize had been Lieutenant w. w.
Cooke, the %regimental adjutant,
whose tall form and long flow
ing beard were plainly visible
as he stood above his fellows,
firing into the faces of the foe.
Gradually working to the outer
edge of the Sioux hordes, Cur
ley had ridden northward into
the sheltered valley of the
Little Big Horn. Here he was
partially concealed and was
able, by using great caution, to
make his way toward the
mouth of the river, where he
arrived a hours after the bat
tie, though the distance was
only II miles.
The people on the boat could
scarcely believe that the Crows
story was true in all it's dread
full particulars, though his grief
was too genuine. Captain Ba-
ker, after the first shock of the
intelligence, was far from being
convinced and endeavored to
persuade the scout to return to
Custer with a dispatch telling
where the supply boat lay. But
Curley refused to leave the
steamer, refused to take food,
and retiring to a corner of the
deck, he squatted on his
launches and began mourning
for the dead after the manner
of his tribe. There was moth
ing to be done, therefore, but
wait for the arrival of someone
else from the columns with
the news and orders, and the
men on the Far West passed
the remainder of the day in un-
easy discussion of the possibili-
ties suggested by Curley's
story.
Some few historians have
sought to cast discredit upon
Curley's story, assuming that
he did not participate in the
fighting at all, but secreted
himself in a ravine before it
began and escaped after night
fall, when it was over. Among
these is DR.. Cyrus Townsend
Brady, in his generally admit
rable account of Clusters last
campaign, in his Indian Fights
and Fighters.
There is no more warrant for
doubling Curley than there
would be for doubling the story
of any man whose assertions
have no witnesses to support
them. Curley's reputation for
veracity, both before and since
the battle, has been excellent.
