IRRIGATION NOW
OF BIC Benefit.
Border Method Followed In West
Is Well Adapted to a
Variety of Soils.
WATER TURNED INTO STRIPS
Not Profitable to Prepare Field for One
Crop-AIfalfa, Clover and Other
Forage Crops Are Among
Those Favored.

The border method of irrigation, fol-
lowed In many parts OF the western
states. is well adapted to a variety Of
soils and crops and is growing rapidly
In public favor. AS described In
Farmers Bulletin 1243, "The Border
Method of Irrigation" prepared by
Samuel Fortier and now issued by the
United States Department Of Agrlcul-
ture, the method consists essentially
gated into series Of strips. lands, or
BEDS as they are varlously termed, by
low, fiat levees extending usually In
the direction Of the stnepest slope.
Sufficient water Is turned into the up
per end Of each strip and allowed to
moistening the soil to given depth
as 1t advances toward the lower end.
Crops Suited for Irrigation.
II seldom pays, 1t Is said, to prepare
q field for the border method for one
crop. The method Is well adapted to
the irrigation of alfalfa, clover and
other forage crops, as well as all
grains, ana the forage crops may De
rotated with the grains without mod
flying the method. II is also possible
to irrigate potatoes, sugar beets and
other rowed and cultivated crops by
making a slight change in the borders,
30 that the latitude as to rotation Is
rather wide.
The most favorable soil for borders
Is a free-working loan several feet
deep, underlaln by more or less i'm
pervlous subsoil AS the sheet Of wa
ter flows down each strip, the pervious
top soil is readily moistened and the
heavier soil beneath prevents the
waste Of water by deep percolation.
Borders are also very generally used
where the subsoil as well as the top
layer Of soil Is porous. not because

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten?, The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many II my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney.

600 hens were culled. That this GULL
ing was successful Is shown by the
following figures: 10 birds were culled
from a flock Of "a, and In the next
seven days the culls laid only 20 eggs !;
200 birds were culled from flocks to-
falling SAG and In the next seven days
laid 20 eggs. OF the entire number
Of hens culled in Maine, the percentage
of egg production for the entire flock
was 32.3, for the hens left after Gull
ing 40.7 per cent, and for the culls
40 per cent.
The number Of poultry owners In
structed In Maine was 3,043 and In
Texas 5000, many Of whom afterward
culled their own flocks. The estimated
savings represent only part Of the
total value Of this work. AS result
Of the demonstrations In one section
In Maine, 70 persons eliminated 1920
birds as culls, while in Texas the GULL
ing that resulted from all demonstra-
tions was valued Mt $125,000.
The extension agents not only DEM
onstrated that the non-producing hen
could be eliminated but explained the
method of culling so thoroughly that
those present could so home and put
1t into practice nearly as effectively
as the demonstrators themselves.

such formations are the most favor
able but because no other method will
do as well.
The cost of preparing land for the
border method is low as compared
with that required for most other
methods II the physical conditions are
favorable. At the same time 1t Is usu-
ally feasible to obtain a fair crop at
small cost by the use of temporary
borders, and after the crop is harvest
ed, the making Of permanent borders
may be undertaken without undoing
much of the previous seasons work.
Slopes Are Essential.
A smooth, regular surface having
slope in one direction of about 2.5
inches to the hundred feet may be re-
garded as ideal for the border method
of irrigation. 1t Is possible to make
borders on slopes one inch or less to
the hundred feet and on sleeper slopes
up to 2 feet and more per hundred.
Borders have been used on slopes as
great as 7h feet to the hundred feet,
but extra care must then be taken to
prevent soil and crop erosion.
The amount of water that can be
turned into the strip depends on the
size of each strip, Its slope, and other
conditions. In narrow, short strips
the head used may be reduced to half
cubic foot second or from 20 to
25 miners inches. and in wide, long
strips 10 cubic feet a second may be
none too large. A large volume Of
water cannot be handled successfully
on steep slopes, but 1t is always pos
slble to divide head between two or
more compartments.
Full details of the construction and
operation of borders are contained in
the bulletin, copies Of which may be

States Department Of Agriculture,
