Sprinkler Saves
Dryland Crop
By H. R. REINEMER,
c County

THE TRIPLE A and soil
ton programs encouraged McCone
county farmers to build many dams
in recent years, most of which were
intended for stock water. When they
realized the amount of water avail
able in these reservoirs created by
the dams, farmers saw the possibii-
ties of irrigation without the expense
of leveling the land. So the Nc
Cone county soil conservation dis
trict ordered an overhead sprinkler
system to try out that type of irriga-
ton.
The first demonstration of over
head sprinkler was here on Is acres
of land, rectangular in shape and
fairly level. 1t had been seeded to
flax and alfalfa about May TO-, and
was a fair stand. The June rainfall
at the government station here was
only 1.61 inches, so all of the flax
| had suffered.
There was shipping delay, so we
did not get the sprinkler until July
1. Assembling and learning to p
crate a new outfit is naturally slow,
but by July 4th we had soaked II
acres to a depth of 2h feet. We left
two acres for a check on results.
Our dam is on a creek, SO the res
ervoir is long and narrow, about 100
rods long and five rods wide with
an average depth of 4 or S feet at
that time. The sprinkling lowered
the water about 10 inches.
The sprinkled flax responded at
once and the line between it and
the two acres unsprinkled was dis
tinct all We harvested
around the whole field SO do NOT
know the exact yield of the two
acres. On account of the reduction
in quality as well as quantity, it is
safe to say it yielded S bushels tc
the acre less than the sprinkled.
After a hail loss of rs percent, the
entire Is acres yielded IL bushel:
per acre net weight at the elevator
While we have hail, alkali water anc
prospects of cheaper prices to con
tend with, I am of the opinion tina
a sprinkler system is the coming

acre. It should be considered a long
time investment, since it will seldom
pay off in a short period of years
Value of Leveling
There are two ways to estimate
the value of leveling. One is to try
to estimate the annual saving IN
labor and increase in crop yields
which should result and then project
this over a 20 or 30-year period.
To illustrate this method let us
assume a field which would cost
$40 per acre to level. If when leveled
the labor time for irrigation could
be cut in half and it is now costing
So per acre per irrigation for two
irrigations each year, the annual
saving would be So per ere.
If small grains are usually grown
and it is expected that the yield
would be increased by a few bushels
per acre, we might estimate this TO
amount to S. per acre. The total an
nual monetary benefit would then
be So per acre. At this rate the cost
would be returned in five years and
it would probably be a good invest
ment.
The other way to try to arrive at
the value of leveling is to estimate
how much the job would increase
the value of the land. This is some
times very difficult to guess. Ordin-
arily it will not pay to level unless
a saving in labor and water or an
increase in crop yields al logically
be expected.

NEGRO TURNS
TO WHITE MAN

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. II.
County medical authorities dis
closed this week that a 29-year-
old Negro prisoner in the county
jail hospital has undergone an al
most complete transformation in
color from black to white.
The prisoner, Charles Howard,
serving a three-month sentence
for theft, told doctors the change
in his fermentation started about
December of 1948.
Since then he has taken innum-
cradle tests and treatments by
dermatologists and other special
lists at the General Hospital. No
explanation for the change in his
skin has been discovered.
Howard, who lives at 1915 u
East 42nd Street, is now almost
completely white and has plati-
lium hair. His general health is
sound, doctors said.

ILLINOIS CONGRESSMAN IS
FIRST NEGRO TO BECOME VICE.
CHAIRMAN OF DEMOCRATIC
NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Post Highest Ever Filled By
Negro In Organized Politics

WASHINGTON = Congressman
William L. Dawson, 3D., Ill., has
been appointed as vice chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee.
The appointment. which was
confirmed here last Sunday, marks
the second first for the long time
Congressman from Illinois. 1t
also places the Legislator from
Chicago, in the highest post oc-
cupied by a Negro in organized
politics. He will succeed Frank
Hague, political boss of New Jer-
sey in the spot.
Congressman Dawson is now
chairman of the highly important
House Expenditures Committee,
being the first Negro in that post.
The appointment has been cred
iteed to the work of William Doyle,
present National Committee chair
man. of the party.
The move which came quietly
and without fanfare, is viewed by
many as further evidence to
strengthen the Democratic party
behind President Truman's demo-
cratic principles.
