Books and authors-they belong
together. You read the words COM

With Joseph Hergesheimer you
travel back and forth through the
years, into distant countries and
taunt into your own time and
among your own people. He wields
a magician's wand.

BEST USE OF LIMITED
WATER SUPPLY

| Agricultural production in Utah il
limited not by land, but by the irriga-
tion water supply, says l.. M. Winsor,
irrigation engineer of the Utah expert
ment station. One very important way
of increasing returns from the limited
water supply now available in canal
systems is to plant diversity of crops
SO that the full stream may be used at
all seasons of the year. The flood
waters of the early spring may be
made to produce just as much crop az
an equal amount of water in July OF
August. 1t Elast be applied, however,
in the right way and to the proper
crop.
| Fall wheat may be matured with
one or two applications of early spring
water. One or two crops of alfalfa
may be produced by an application of
flood water even as early as February
where the winter precipitation is too
light to soak the soil deeper than three
or four feet. 1t is often possible to
irrigate fall plowed ground before
planting, in which case spring grain
may often be brought to maturity
without further irrigation. Even spring
plowed ground may be irrigated before
planting late crops such as potatoes,
corn and sugar beets.
If attention is given to the applica-
tion of early surplus water by provid-
ing ahead of time for its use, the crop
produced may be materially increased
without added expense for construction
of new works or building new projects.
Furthermore, the limited late season
supply may then be concentrated on
crops such as sugar beets, potatoes,
small fruits, vegetables and orchards,
all Of which do not make use of the
early water to such good advantage,
but require frequent light irrigations
during the period of development to
produce best results.
In order then to obtain economic re-
turns from the limited supply of water
available to most Utah farms it is
necessary that cropping system be
worked out which will enable the wa
ter users to make use of the full
stream when it is available. If the
supply is from storage reservoirs di-
versity of crops is not so important;
but if the supply is from an average
mountain stream then it is quite pee-
essary that a diversity of crops be
grown, and that special provision be
made for using all of the early water
either on alfalfa or fall grain,on spring
plowed land before planting, or on fall
low land which is going to be planted
in late summer or early fall.

ECONOMIC USE OF
IRRIGATION WATER

Several methods Of applying irriga-
mon and practical method is the sur
face application. The sub-surface
method of irrigation can only be prac-
ticed where underground soil condi-
tions are favorable. Tho overhead, or
sprinkling system, is only found prac-
tical under special conditions where
crops of great value are raised.
No definite statement can be made
as to the amount Of water necessary
to produce crop, because Of the va
rious factors involved which influence
the result. The idea Of the amount Of
water necessary for the crop must,
from practical standpoint, include
the principle of economic use; that is,
the amount of water required to give
the maximum yield. This amount Of
water applied is reconed by the depth
per acre in units of inches or feet,
usually, however, in acre-feet per acre.
Experience and observation are
prime factors in the proper application,
as well as the approach to the econom-
ic use. 1t is obvious that variation of
soil type and subsoil conditions are
important factors. Slope of field,
method of irrigation, rate of applica-
tion, waste, length of growing season,
etc., are points to be observed in de-
termining the economic use. Tho ex-
tent of rainfall must be considered in
this problem, but involves the question
as to what per cent Of the total pre-
cipitation could be credited as irriga-
tion. Showers, as usual thing, add
little or nothing to the soil moisture
and only serve to clean and stimulate
the foliage. Instances are known
where shower Of one inche Of pre-
cipitation falling in one-half to three
quarters Of an hour wet the soil to a
depth Of IN to Q inches; because Of
the rapid accumulation the run-off
was excessive. The heavy beating
shower is in really detriment, be-
cause of the compacting and destruc-
tion Of the surface mulch.

SAN LUIS VALLEY
GOES IN FOR DA1RYING

The San Luis valley of Colorado has
raised $4,000 and has put on a five
year dairy program. Max CRANKY, a
graduate Of the Colorado Agricultural
college, has been employed to direct
this work and will be located at Ala
mosa. Many farmers in this region
have had little experience in dairy
ing. He will help them select their
cattle, suggest rations and farm equip
ment.
The money has been procured
through campaign for five-year
memberships in the newly organized
San Luis Valley Dairy association.
This campaign was suggested by a rep
resentative of the extension service
of the Holstein Friesian Association
of America. The local leaders were
assisted by this association as we'll Al
the extension department of the State
Agricultural college, and representa-
tive of the d. & R. G. railroad.
The San Luis valley has an ideal
climate for dairying. 1t grows every
thing COW needs to eat, has artesian
water; in fact, it needs just two
things to make this inland empire,
which is as big as the state of Massa-
chusetts, great dairy center. These
are cows and dairymen. The San Luis
Valley Dairy association proposes to
remedy these.

CONSIDER THE LOCAL MERCHANT

Time and again this newspaper has preached
the gospel of loyalty to home merchants to its
subscribers and many, we believe, have needed OuI
plea for the consideration of the local business
men, but there are still too many people, who
when met by the suave arguments of high-pow-
cred statesmen, cannot resist the temptation to
buy even though they may know, if they stopped
to think that they are wronging themselves and
their fellow citizens when they buy from outside
concerns. $50
Perhaps it is not amiss to review a few OF
these things that the home merchant does, which
the itinerant peddler and the mail order house
does not do for the community, The home town
merchant is your friend-your neighbor. He pays
taxes in our city to keep up our government anC
our schools. He donates to every worthy caus,
that comes along. He works to- upbuid our civic
enterprises He employs many of our citizens il
his business enterprises and he and his employees
no doubt in turn spend their money with you The
home town merchants interests are centered ir
the community in which he has made and rein.
vested all he possesses, and naturally he is work.
ing continually to upbuild the city in which he
lives.
Consider the peddler and the Email order. house
Do they ever contribute to the local churches d.
they pay any taxes which help to pay the salaries
the city's parks and Fairgrounds?
Be loyal to your home town merchant, folks
He's playing square with you. He is helping tx
boost your city along and in so doing he is help
ing you. When the "be ringer" comes to YOU
door just tell him that you do not need his wares
tell him that your home town merchant is tht
only one who deserves your patronage and is the
ONLY ONE who is going to get it.-Lawtor

GOOD FOR THE BOY SCOUTS!

There was little or no damage done property on

Boy Scouts had great deal to do with preventing
lot of dare devil' stunts in the way of wreck
ng property Good fun is good fun, but just de-
stroying property isn't good joke Every
grown up loves boys that are real boys and while
he does not expect them to be little angels he
faopes they do not wish to be classed as "mean
title devils" The "Big Brothers" behind the Boy
Scout movement have not succeeded in making
t 100 per cent strong here. However, they are
veil pleased with the success gained SO far and
Ire working to make Flagstaff 100 per cent Boy
Scout town. The Boy Scouts are not "sissified"
cut are the coming stalWart men of the country,
Boys who are willing to learn from older boys
hat they, the "Old Boys" made mistakes when
shey were boys. Now, instead of scolding they
lave sympathetic feeling when a young feler
out of pure exuberance of the spirit of youth,
ambles out of line accidentally.
