BY WALTER w. WEIR
Asst Professor of Soil Technology

Changes which take place rather
slowly are often not fully appreci-
ated by those that are closes. TO
them, and it is to the occasional
visitor that they are most striking.
The writer has visited the Imperial
Valley from two to four times a
year for the past ten years with
always the same object in mind,
namely, studying and observing the
drainage conditions.
Now that about two-th;rds of
the two and half millions which
were voted for drainage in 1922
have been spent, it may not be
amiss to review briefly what has
been done with this money ana what
has been really gained by its ex-
penditure, and also TO sound q
warning regarding certain features.
The bare statement that ll2 miles
Of deep drainage bitches have been
dug and that they are all flowing
good streams of watgr tells only a
part of the story 1t is, however
a very necessary and important
part. These drains now extend in
to all of the most alkaline and
waterlogged areas Of the valley and
are affording outlets for the drain
age of these sections. On the whole
he water table has been reduced
In some instances, where the soils
are light textured, there has been
a lowering in the water table OF
eight TO 10 feet, while in others
particularly where the soils are
heavy, the lowering has been but
a few inches. 1T can not be ex
pccted that the heavy soils of the
valley which became watCrloggcd
slowly are going TO drain rapidly
There IS, however, a downward
movement of the water table IL
nearly every inst anec and this move
mert will undoubtedly continue
for 4 long time.
Very Optimistic
The writer was very agreeably
impressed with tha general feeling
Of optimism among the farmers
Only on rare occasions was one
found who did not feel that there
had been a decided improvement
