With the advent of irrigation, and the
only solution for the relief Of this con-
dit.on is by direct drainage.
~ portion Of our lands that are
most badly affected with subirrigation
have been drained successfully with the
open drain system. Cement lining OF

Is practically impossible to irrigate

land will retains, the ultimate result is
that drainage must sooner or later be-
come an important factor
The Yakima county, Washington,
farm bureau, in answer to an inquiry
regarding the effect of digging drain
canals, says:
"There have been thousands Of acres
of land in the valley made productive
by drainage, which would Otherwise be
worthless. -
The Imperial. county farm bureau is
still in correspondence with bureaus lo-
Gated in other irrigated sections and
additional information is being received
daily. !. Estimates as to the cost Of
drainage RUN from $1.A0 to $500 per
acre, where soils are not underlaid with
;mpervious strata of clay, but in most
cases the districts from which tho data
has come have not completed their
projects.
All the bureaus which hsve answered
declare they would not return to con-
d;tions before drainage was started,
even though the cost has in some in
stances been greater than anticipation.
The cost figures given do not include
the laterals, the main canals only being
constructed by the reclamation service,
land owners being compelled to connect
their own dtches at their own expense.

OFFICERS ARE OUT

In an effort to stop excessive apeed-
ing on the county highways, Motorcycle
Officers Deering and Moultrpp are
wagng an intensive campaign against
all motorists who arc inclined to acccl
crate their machines past the 35-mile

This is being done az a result Of a
number of smashups and minor acci-
dents occurring on the county roads in
the past ten days. Reckless driving by
numerous complaints to be issued, it is
reported.

The value of drainage as n means of
reclamation Of watcrlogged lands and
for the purpose of eliminating alkali
and other salts from the soils has been
a disputed question in Imperial Valley,
particularly among opponents of any
form of expenditure for drainage pur-
poses. Imperial Valley farm directors
have gone to considerable trouble to
gain definite information. Correspon-
dencc has been had by President G.. =.
West with farm bureau officials in
practically every reclamation project in
the United States, and the data gained
is considered particularly valuable, as
many projects report soil and water
conditions verv similar to those found
IN Imperial Valley.
From El Paso, Texas, farm bureau
president writes regarding Irrigation
district No. l. FL Paso county, a very
pertinent and interesting letter regard
ing the matter. He says drainage has
been d success on all Soils in answer
t. an inquiry as to the possibility of re-
claiming soil of the type so familiar in
Imperial Valley. He continues:
1--WE have some very light adobe
clay that IS lmpcrvlous to water, ana
naturally will not leach unless punc-
turcd in the low spots. .F*@@ Where the
ground water has been lowered over
five feet these lands are coming back
gradually, each year showing an in
creased Weld, but where the soil is
