tional victory in the Withers stakes

that develops 500 gallons per minute.
Two and one-half acres of the land is
of a sand loam type, the other two
and one-haIf acres consisaa of a tight
er soil.
The usual practice is to irrgate each
half 4S hours, or to pump 4.4 acre feet
on two and one-half acres. This is
equivalent to 21.12 inches Irrigation
per acre.
The sandy type soil is found to show
water penetration to the depth of II
feet, or in other words it requires 1.76
inches for every foot penetration. The,
tighter soil oily shows water pene~
tration of four feet, or it takes 5.2S
inches to get one foot penetration. The
first type is what we would call oul
average soil, while the tighter soil is
below the average. We stated above
that it required from one and one-half
to two acre inches of water to wet q
foot of soil, which compares very IA.
vorably with the Its inches needed
on the piece of ground in question.
The tighter soil showed more than was
stated, bua this would be expected.
since it is not an average type.
Further conversation brought out
the fact that the deepest grape root
found on the sandy type were only
eight feet from the surface. In other
words, there was four feet of moisturO
beyond the roots, which could not be
used. 1t is evident that 32 hours OF
pumping would produce sufficient wa
ter in this particular situation to wet
the soil eight, feet deep, using the 10
hours left to irrigate the tight soil.
The pumping expense with electric
power at one and one-half cents pei
XIV is 25 cents, thereby effecting q
saving of $4. In addition to the money
saved, there is also the consideration
of excess penetration and unnecessary
teaching of plant food.
The above is a situation as it oc-
ours in the Salt River valley and it is
to be hoped that we can show similar
conditions here in Cochise county once
we get to the point that we know how
much water we are producing and how
much we can expect in the way of
water penetration in our own soil
types.
