sOn CONSERVATION NEWS

Western Montana farmers are
showing an increased interest in
the use of sprinkler irrigation.
There are a number of points to
be considered when selecting the
type of irrigation best adapted to
the individual farm.
The major factors which make the
installation of a sprinkler irriga-
ton system desirable are: I'D Land
too rough or soil too shallow to
hermit a maximum of leveling; ~
Soil so porous that water cannot
be applied by surface methods with
out loss; 90 Stream of irrigation
water so small that surface methods
of application would be too slow;
and "a Steep slopes with either
highly credible or relatively imper-
meable soils.
The rate of application will vary
with the ability of the soil TO take
water, and, therefore, no hard and
fast rule can be made. In general
hover, approximately one-hah inch
per hour is desirable, and, for best
results, water should not be applied
at a rate in excess of one inch per
hour.
Before purchasing a sprinkler
system, a determination must be
made as to whether the system
will pay for itself and return in
terest on the investment. In an
swering this question, the cost OF
the sprinkler system must be bal
anced against the increased returns
due to added production and the
conservation of the soil Planning
should be on a long term basis and
the material investment should be
amortized over a fifteen year per-
/ iod
Sprinkler systems are classified
as high pressure or low pressure
