Full Crop In
Spite of Water
Shortage
BY
M. r. LEWIS, ASSOCIATE
PROFESSOR OF AGRICUL-
TURAL ENGINEERING. UN-
IyERSITY OF IDAHO.

1t is true that there is a very great
loss OF irrigation water between the
diversion from the river and the farm
er's headgate. Nevertheless. the best
chance for increasing the useful re-
suits from the use OF a limited quanti-
~ OF water during an emergency IS
in the irrigation OF the fields. For
each irrigation OF each field there is
a definite quantity q water which will
give the best resu.ss. Use OF any
other than the correct moun will
result in waste.
There are three principal ways in
which water is lost from the irrigated
field. Under the usual conditions in
Idaho the most important loss is that
by deep percolation. By this is
meant the water which passes down
through the soil and sub-soil to the
groundwater. Under certain rather
unusual conditions a part of this
water is brought up by capillary ac-
ton 10 the zone Of plant roots and is
used by the crops. As a general
rule. however. the water which passes
down below the reach OF the crop
roots is lost so far as that crop is
concerned. More often than not it
appears on some lower land as harm
ful seepage water. Whenever too
much water is applied to all or al
OF a field some OF the water
viii pass down to the groundwater.
In some cases, three-fourths of the
applied to the fields is lost in
his way.
Evaporation from the surface of
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1924-08-22

the soil is another cause OF loss OF
moisture. By far the larger part OF
this loss occurs during the irrigation
and within the first few days there
after. The loss will be practically
the same after each application so
that the total loss during the season
will depend on the number OF irriga-
tions applied. II Too small an amount
of water is applied at a time the crop
will begin to suffer for water within
a short time and another wet'ing will
be required with its attendant loss by
evaporation. In order to save this
loss as well as to economic on the
labor required IN irriagtion,

Use Century Plant
In Making Of Ice

4 spell of hot weather this week
has brought about the opening of the ,
Durango City, Mexico, icehousc-thei
only icehouse of its kind in the world
For this ice supply large enough to
be a commercial factor in the ice y
market of a region of 10000 persons, f!
is made possible by the use of the.
maguey. or century plant. a
Durango City was founded in 1853, :.
and it is believed that the strange
method of ice-making has been inc
continuous use since that tilne-ands,
nowhere else is it known. After the
pulque has been taken from the cen
tury plant. which is usually when liz,
is about eight years old, the leaves, ,
instead of being destroyed, as else
where in Mexico, are spread out in !
the plaza. in the public gardens, and >
other open spaces. with the concave
sides of the huge leaves uppermost.
The ground is first covered with
| straw. Then about two quarts of
water are poured into each leaf.
While freezing is unknown in the ,
city under any other natural condi-
tions, the water freezes in the
maguey lelaves. In the morning hun
dredS of chunks of ice are gathered
and put in adobe icehouses, each
about twenty feet deep and twenty.
| feet square. The supply usually lasts
until the middle of July Or the firsta
| of August.
Durango City is about 5000 feet
| above sea level. At this altitude thcren
Is rapid cooling, after evaporation. to-
which the water is exposed by the
| broad. shallow surface of the leaves
| This is believed to be the scientiffcs
| explanation of the odd ice plant d.
| There is a legend that the method
! was discovered in the seventeentllN
| century by Father Jose Lopez, an.
| aged priest, who was also a scientist.

Defective Eyesight in Schools
Costs $l3O,OOO,OOO Each Year

Defective eyesight in the public
schools is costing the taxpayers of
the nation at least s130O0o,000 an
nualIy. it is asserted by the Eye Sight
Conservation Council of America,
which. in a statement sent to direct
ors of summer schools throughout
the country, urges organized con-
servation of vision as social and
economic need.
Accompanying the statement is a
report revealing that heavy moral
and financial losses arise from this
evil. Approximately % per cent of
all school children in the United
States, the council finds, are retarded
in studies and fully one-third of this
retardation is conservatively estI-
mated as due to defective vision.
If this is a correct estimate. there
are at least 100000 school children
in the United States one or more
years behind in their studies because
of defective vision. says the council
report, continuing:
according to the United States
Bureau of Education, the cost OF
public elementary and secondary edu-
cation for the entire United States
averaged in 1920 $64.16 per pupil per
wear. If each one of the 100000 re-
tarded children in the United States,
| as estimated, was forced to drop back
| only one year, the cost would be
| $500, 100000.
OF 1919 school children found with
defective vision in the public school
! eve clinic of one of our large cities,
| 72 per cent were backward in their
/ studies An examination of 2,1S5 ru-
raj school children in midweStern
state disclosed that of those retarded
| nearly so per cent has visual defects,
according to the council
| "The correction of visual defects
| results in a marked Improvement in
| school progress" the report contin-
| ues. "The record of 10000 cases sent
| to a public eye clinic for correction
| of refractive errors show that from
| 20 to 70 per cent of the children were
| classified as backward. mentally de-
ficient, stupid or habitually left back.
| The careful follow-up system proved
| that after their defective vision had
been corrected, 20 to so per cent OF
| these children progressed and took
| their place in the class with the nor
| NAL average child. The reason the
remaining 20 to 80 per cent did not
progress was because their retarda-
| ton was due to causes other thar

Travellers Should
Watch Their Checks

Americans who are contemplating
trips abroad should always make sure
that the list of banks which Will
accept their letters of credit and
travellers checks includes all cities
and towns that will be visited by
them in the course of their journey.
This advice comes from the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce as
a result of some trying experiences
for American tourists.
Letters of credit and travellers
checks are negotiable only at the
correspondent banks named in them.
In case the traveller fails to observe
whether there is a correspondent
bank. in the city that he intends to
visit and on arrival finds there Is
none, he sometimes experiences the
greatest difficulty in satisfying local
banks regarding the genuineness of
the letter or check and frequently
has to pay for cables in order to
prove the good faith of the transac-
ton This oversight often causes
loss of time and additional expense.
Should a traveller, on ARRIVAL In
foreign country, find there is no cor
respondent bank located in a city he
wishes to visit, he should either draw
enough to cover the cost of the trip
or else arrange through the cor
respondent bank for supplementary
travellers checks or letters of credit
which will be acceptable in the city
to which he is going.
Banks in the United States issuing
such letters and checks usually have
correspondents only in the larger and
more important foreign cities. There
fore, it behooves the traveller who in
tends to visit small interior and less
important towns to see whether the
correspondent bank in the country
| has in these smaller places branches,
agencies or correspondents of it's own
| that will honor his letters and checks

Additional Provisions.
In seven additional states absentee
from their home precincts, but located
elsewhere in the same state on cleo
ton day. These are: Colorado, FLORIDA
Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri. New
Mexico and Oklahoma. Absentee
voters in these states obtain certifl-
cate of registration from the county
or the precinct registrar, as the case
may be, and are entitled to cast their
ballots at any polling place in the
state on election day, the same as at
their home precinct, on the presenta-
ton of the registration certifcate and
making affidavit.
In four states the absentee voting
privilege is restricted TO voters in the
military and naval service OF the
United States or the state, namely:
Arkansas, Maryland, New Hampshire
and Rhode Island. In Georgia absentee
voting is extended to voters in the
civil or military service of the United
states. In Connecticut and South
Carolina absentee voting was allowed
in military service during the world
war. but is not now effective. These
two are the only states now without
any provision for absentee voting.
