WATER TURNOUT
NEXT TUESDAY
No Irl'igating for Three
Days to Kill off Moss
and Weed Growth

Water will be turned out of the
Columbia Irrigation District canals
next Tuesday evening, September
to clean up the weeds and moss. II
is believed that practically all water
users are now caught up in irriga-
ton so that nothing will suffer DUR
ing the three days off.
By steady claiming and scythe
work for the past three weeks, the
water has been held thru August.
This work covers some Is miles of
canals where conditions get worst.
1t is only palliative at best-the
longest of the weeds are torn off
and the water levels on the stretch
covered are reduced three inches to
foot, in the various sections. The
growth keeps right on. and the water
levels come back to the danger mark
again in six to 10 days. Most of our
worst sections have been covered
three times during the last period.
Meanwhile the weeds are spreading
into many miles of ditch which have
not given trouble before, producing
new danger areas. 1t is highly desir-
able to stop this before new sections
ire seeded with these pests, to plague
is in future seasons.
A new crop of green moss is devel-
'ping also, and will begin to give
rouble about the first. A three-inch
settlement in part of the flume below
own is limiting the water sent down |
4ateral 2, and deliveries in the
hedges district are slightly low on
hat account. This flums will be |
acked to grade during the turnout.
